The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover

Chapter 585
She picked up the call to hear Neil’s sorrowful voice from over the speaker. “Taya, you’re still alive…”
After Taya left the presidential suite in Nightshade, she didn’t see any signs of Neil. All the calls she made to him were left with no reply.
She thought that nothing would happen to Neil since he knew so many mobs, so she just sent him a message and went home.
Listening to Neil’s tone right then, her heart ski pped a beat, and she asked nervously, “Mr. Sherwood, is everything alright?”
Neil smiled wryly and nodded. “I’m fine, I just want to tell you that besides the golden slippers, you still owe me a golden right hand.”
Hearing that he was fine, Taya breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned as she asked, “What golden right hand, I have no idea what you’re…”
Neil smiled cun ningly. “You don’t need to understand anything, you just have to pay me back…”
She was getting tired of hearing the word ‘gold’, so she just went along with it. “Okay, I’ll talk to the gold shop owner once I finish the NASA project.”
Seeing that she had agreed to the deal, Neil was at ease. He
replied, “Remember to add in a left hand as well. It will look better if it’s balanced…”
Taya nodded continuously. “Yes, yes. I’ll do anything you want since you’re my teacher.”

Neil put down the phone on his desk, and pressed the loudspeaker button before leaning backwards against the chair. Feeling relieved, he folded his arms over his chest.
“Well, having an apprentice isn’t too bad after all,” he thought to himself. “However..” his thoughts trailed off as he stared at Joe, who was dressed smartly in a tuxedo, standing outside his office.
The wide smile on Neil’s face immediately collapsed. “There are two good news and two bad news, which do you want to hear first?”
Taya replied without thinking, “The bad news.”
Neil hesitated for a moment, obviously he had brought up the good news first, so why didn’t she go in that order?
Neil was forced to reply. “Okay, the good news is that Knight pack is planning to rebuild their headquarters, and they want us for that job!”
“Wasn’t the Knight pack’s headquarters in good condition? Why
ebulla it now?” laya wondered.
She frowned slightly. She was about to voice her thoughts to Neil, but before she could say anything, another piece of good news
came.
“It has always been my dream to gain the rights to the Knight pack building designs, then use these designs to enter the international architectural competition. By doing this, I can kill two birds with one stone and defeat my master, Amon Yardley. Who knew my dream would be fulfilled so early in life!”
Hearing this, Taya threw away the doubts in her mind, and said happily for him. “Then congratulations, your dream is about to come true.”
The corner of Neil’s mouth twitched. “You are saying that too early, I still have two pieces of bad news…”
Seeing that he helped her many times in the past, Taya held the phone and asked patiently, “Please tell me what they are.”
While staring at Joe outside the door, Neil took a deep breath. “The first bad news is that the Knight pack is asking you to lead the design, not me!”
He had been praying for the main building of the Knight pack, or perhaps a subsidiary building, even a small branch to crumble…
Now that the opportunity presented itself, they were requesting
his apprentice to design it, not him!
How could he not be furious?
“Me?” Taya’s eyes grew wide with shock.
