Chapter 205 Take Care of Yourself
After Peyton returned home, he glanced at the trackerâs 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.
Phillipâs 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. Peytonâs 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. âHello, I am Peyton from the Dalton
Group.â
A young man with delicate seatures and dressed in a white suit sat on a chair. His lips curled slightly
upwards. âPeyton, we meet again.â
Peyton paused for a moment. âKevin.â
Peyton immediately realized. âYou are Mr. Dryden from the Zenith Group?â
âYeah, itâs about carrying on the family business,â Kevin shrugged helplessly. âActually, I wanted to be a
doctor.â
Before, Peytonâs 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, âMr. Dryden, this time, did you agree to collaborate because of the
planning proposal or⦠because of me?â
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. âItâs all
here.â
Kevin sat down across from Peyton and explained, âAt 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.â
âAre you not afraid of cats anymore?â Peyton smiled.
âI was no longer afraid of cats. I got along well with Dawn.â
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. âPeyton, you still owe me a meal. This meal
doesnât count.â
âOkay. Letâs have a meal together another day.â
Kevin handed the packed bag to Peyton. âPeyton, this is what you used to like to eat. I donât know if
you still like it now.â
These snacks were made by a famous pastry chef. Peyton noticed the name of Perdue Snacks at first
glance.
âItâs been so many years, and this pastry shop is still open,â Peyton exclaimed. Peyton hadnât visited
Perdue Snacks for almost two years.
âWell. On the way here today, I suddenly remembered this pastry shop. I didnât expect it to still be
there.â
Kevin placed his hand on Peytonâs back of the hand. He said, âPeyton, 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 canât help others, you must take care of yourself.â
After saying these words, Kevin withdrew his hand. He looked at Peyton with gentle eyes and asked,
âCan I go visit Kason?â
âOkay.â
Peyton raised the document he had just signed and said, âBut I still need to go back to the office. Do
you have time after work?â
âPeyton, as long as you needed me, I always made time.â
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 didnât expect that as soon as Peyton arrived, both sides reached a cooperation
agreement directly.
Iris exclaimed, âMs. 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 couldnât secure this
project for such a long time, but you managed to do it.â
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, âWhat do you think of Spencer?â
