Alice saw Michael off and then returned to the company.
When she mentioned the Amber District project to Dwayne, he immediately called Michael without saying a word to Alice.
Alice left his office and went back to her desk, no longer paying attention to the matter.
She knew very well that Dwayne would agree to the collaboration.
Even if it were her, she wouldn’t give up such a big project.
If the collaboration succeeded, Luminary Holdings Ltd., would rise to a higher level, no longer a mid-to-lower-tier company.
An hour later, Dwayne came out of his office, beaming. “Alice, come in for a moment p>
Alice got up and walked in, seeing Dwayne so happy that his face had a few more wrinkles.
Dwayne laughed heartily, “Alice, your former boss is really good to you. It seems he still thinks about you p>
Alice kept her head down and didn’t respond, waiting for him to continue.
Dwayne took a sip of tea. “He’s willing to let me have a part of the Amber District project. The Johnson Group has many subsidiaries, and we’re one of them. So, the price of the materials for the second collaboration with them will only increase by 20 p>
Alice looked up. “What do you mean p>
She had already guessed that he would agree.
Dwayne started calculating seriously. “The key to government projects is not the profit but the collaboration, do you understand p>
Alice nodded slightly. Of course, she understood.
As long as they could collaborate with the government once, there would be more opportunities in the future, and the path would
become wider.
All companies desired such collaborative projects, but the relevant departments would only choose some big companies or those
they had worked with before.
But thinking about seeing Michael, Alice reminded him, “With a 20% price increase, we won’t make much profit. Are you planning to
agree?
“Would you refuse?” Dwayne raised an eyebrow at her, implying that he had agreed.
Alice nodded Understood, I’ll prepare the collaboration materials p>

Chapter 219
As she turned to leave, Dwayne spoke again, “The Johnson Group has another condition p>
Her hand tightened on the doorknob, then she turned to Dwayne, “What condition p>
He stared at her meaningfully. “They want you to be the project manager.
Alice froze, not knowing what to say.
The project manager, in essence, was the liaison between the two companies, representing Luminary Holdings Ltd in managing the project, which meant she would have to frequently appear at the Johnson Group and see Michael.
Alice carefully recalled the project’s progress and timeline; it was too long.
Dwayne looked at her with interest. “Mr. Johnson specifically requested you, so I said he still thinks about you p>
Alice didn’t speak and went straight back to her desk.
Most people in their circle knew about her relationship with Michael.
But she also knew that these people were divided into two camps.
One camp thought their difference in status was too great, and Michael just liked her body and abilities. He would eventually marry
someone else.
The other camp thought that being by Michael’s side for ten years meant they had genuine feelings, and that they would eventually
be together.
She didn’t know how Dwayne saw her, but he certainly knew about her and Michael.
A college girl being kept before graduation wasn’t a glorious thing.
Alice closed her eyes lightly, trying to calm herself down before starting to write the project materials.
But halfway through, she lost her motivation.
She knew what Michael meant-he didn’t want to let her go.
Although he didn’t stop her from finding a job, he would still find ways to pull her back to his side.
Wasn’t it just to tell her that she couldn’t escape his grasp?
Michael had said that no one would dare to bully her when she was with him.
