Chapter 205 Take Care of Yourself

After Peyton returned home, he glanced at the tracker’s screen again. Apart from the one that had already disappeared from the page after entering the landfill, the rest were similar to before and had not changed much.

Phillip’s phone remained switched off. Peyton sighed.

Peyton felt that she was getting closer to the truth. However, she always felt like there was a layer of fog in front of her, preventing her from seeing the truth behind the fog.

Fortunately, the project went smoothly. Peyton’s proposal was selected

by the Zenith Group. Moreover, Peyton has already arranged a meeting time with the Zenith Group.

Peyton dressed up in formal attire. At that moment, she could feel a slight sweat forming in the palms of her hands.

Peyton pushed open the door, wearing a polite smile on his face. “Hello, I am Peyton from the Dalton Group.”

A young man with delicate seatures and dressed in a white suit sat on a chair. His lips curled slightly upwards. “Peyton, we meet again.”

Peyton paused for a moment. “Kevin.”

Peyton immediately realized. “You are Mr. Dryden from the Zenith Group?”

“Yeah, it’s about carrying on the family business,” Kevin shrugged helplessly. “Actually, I wanted to be a doctor.”

Before, Peyton’s team had encountered people from the Zenith Group. Everyone felt that the people from the Zenith Group were very difficult to deal with. Both Group A and Group B had worked on this project, but neither of them successfully secured the project.

Only Group C could not afford the cost of failure. Therefore, Group C never gave up.

Upon seeing Kevin, Peyton asked, “Mr. Dryden, this time, did you agree to collaborate because of the planning proposal or… because of me?”

Kevin, being a gentleman, pulled out the seat for Peyton and called the waiter to bring the food. He had a constant smile on his face. “It’s all

here.”

Kevin sat down across from Peyton and explained, “At first, I was very surprised by this plan. Later, I found out it was you. Considering that you saved my life back then, I had to approve your plan no matter what.”

“Are you not afraid of cats anymore?” Peyton smiled.

“I was no longer afraid of cats. I got along well with Dawn.”

The business negotiation this time was easier than Peyton had imagined. Peyton came out early to prepare to pay the bill, only to be told that someone else had already settled it.

Kevin smiled and looked at Peyton with a bag in his hand. “Peyton, you still owe me a meal. This meal doesn’t count.” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Okay. Let’s have a meal together another day.”

Kevin handed the packed bag to Peyton. “Peyton, this is what you used to like to eat. I don’t know if you still like it now.”

These snacks were made by a famous pastry chef. Peyton noticed the name of Perdue Snacks at first glance.

“It’s been so many years, and this pastry shop is still open,” Peyton exclaimed. Peyton hadn’t visited Perdue Snacks for almost two years.

“Well. On the way here today, I suddenly remembered this pastry shop. I didn’t expect it to still be there.”

Kevin placed his hand on Peyton’s back of the hand. He said, “Peyton, I know the Schmitt family has been through a lot. But no matter how much hardship you have experienced, you must keep your heart kind. Even if you can’t help others, you must take care of yourself.”

After saying these words, Kevin withdrew his hand. He looked at Peyton with gentle eyes and asked, “Can I go visit Kason?”

“Okay.”

Peyton raised the document he had just signed and said, “But I still need to go back to the office. Do you have time after work?”

“Peyton, as long as you needed me, I always made time.”

When Peyton brought the contract back, everyone in Group C was stunned.

They had been in contact with this project for a while, but the Zenith Group had always refused to cooperate. They didn’t expect that as soon as Peyton arrived, both sides reached a cooperation

agreement directly.

Iris exclaimed, “Ms. Schmitt, you are really amazing. I was wondering how Mr. Dalton could just hand over the project to you. It turns out you are a capable person. Our team leader couldn’t secure this project for such a long time, but you managed to do it.”

Peyton never liked people like Iris who flattered and fawned. However,

Iris had some usefulness to Peyton. Therefore, Peyton did not show a disdainful attitude towards Iris.

During a break, Peyton asked Iris, “What do you think of Spencer?”
