The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 536

Elizabeth shook her head, not pinning the blame on Derek. “What you said was true, Mr. Ramsey. I haven’t fully recovered from my injury. I apologize for being unprofessional.”

Natalie was right. Elizabeth planned on taking her advice and seeing a doctor for other options for treatment. If she wanted to continue being a designer, she had to deal with her hand tremors first.

Wilder quickly answered for Derek. “Please don’t take it to heart, Miss Perry. Derek has reflected deeply upon his words and actions. We believe that you are capable of completing this project.”

After Natalie stormed out of the room, Derek looked through the project files with careful attention. It was clear that the designs were the work of a perfectionist. Elizabeth made sure that nothing was out of place.

“I’ve never seen anything like it before. Your ideas are unique and I like them.” After his perusal, Derek had nothing more to say. He found nothing lacking with the plans, so there was no need to change the designer. Elizabeth hesitated, “But my injury…”

Natalie had already guessed that Elizabeth would refuse. “Just say yes,” she interrupted before Elizabeth could finish. “The interview is still four months away. We have plenty of time.”

“Mr. Ramsey is a valuable client. We can’t risk a project of this importance over something that has no guarantee,” Elizabeth reasoned, still unconvinced.

“The more I listen to you, the more ridiculous you sound. Have you forgotten? I’m your partner. There’s no way we would fail.” Natalie held Elizabeth’s arm and winked at her playfully.

Elizabeth was deeply touched. Natalie believed in her so much. She was pushing Elizabeth forward, at a time when her confidence was wavering. “Alright. You win, Natalie.”

With a helpless smile, Elizabeth finally agreed, “I look forward to this partnership.”

Derek reached out a hand towards Elizabeth. She shook his hand, her determination steadily finding itself. The deal was finally closed.
