Chapter 943: Chapter 943 What Are You So Worried About?

Naomi was really looking forward to the event, therefore she arrived at the venue quite early.

Benedict bought a drink and handed it over to her.

“Your favorite!”

Naomi took a look at the drink and said, “It is indeed. Thank you, Cutie Pie!”

Upon hearing her words, Benedict felt embarrassed.

“Don’t call me that. I’m already all grown up!”

Naomi smiled indifferently and turned her head away. She said, “There seems to be an exhibition over there. Let’s head over and have a look!”

Just as she finished saying so, she scuttled far, far away.

Benedict sighed as he looked at her figure going further and further away.

…

Due to the display being an ancient building, many people had come to the event.

The host introduced it excitedly, “This is an architectural model left by the Wright family of Magichitect. However, I don’t really feel like giving an explanation about it today. All of you gathered here today are the best of the best in the architectural field. I would like to invite a professional to explain about it. Is there anyone who would like to volunteer?”

Naomi stretched her head out to look at the lifelike architectural model. Her architectural knowledge was limited, but her mother, Eudora, was an enthusiast in the field.

After her retirement a few years ago, she would occasionally join some philanthropic projects that involved architectural design. Of course, Naomi had heard of Magichitect countless times.

Everyone who was in the architectural field would know about Magichitect and Sinclair Wright!

They were the designer and builders of the palace.

Although there were many people there, not many were willing to go onstage and give an explanation regarding the building. After all, it was the work of experts. If they failed to explain it well, they would become the laughingstocks of the exhibition.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to turn awkward, the host quickly found another solution.

the host beckoned her, “Why don’t we invite this graceful lady to come forward and explain?”

All eyes turned to Naomi. By the time Naomi noticed the stares, she was already in the spotlight.

Unfortunately, she had not done any research on the building at all, hence she had no idea how to give the audience a suitable introduction.

Benedict hurriedly stepped forward and stood in front of Naomi. He said, “She won’t take you up on your offer. Please pick someone else!”

Naomi felt extremely out of place.

The host insisted, “I reckon that she’s quite interested in it, so why don’t we just let her give an introduction?”

Naomi became tongue-tied at the moment.

When she saw that Benedict was about to help her out again, she covered his mouth fast.

She ordered, “Stop it!”

The more Benedict defended her, the more uneasy she would feel.

“Miss, are you from Valiant East? You must be an accomplished architect. Why don’t you go forward and have a try?” asked the rest of the people.

Naomi was confounded as she had not expected them to know that. She lowered her head and realized that she was wearing her work badge.

She had been so thrilled to be able to join the event that she had forgotten to take it off.

She really was caught in a dilemma. If she screwed up, Valiant East’s reputation would definitely be tainted.

As she was in deep contemplation, she heard a familiar voice from behind her.

The person shouted, “I’ll do it!”

When Naomi turned around, she met with Nelson’s gaze.

She stared blankly at him for a moment then immediately lowered her head. Nelson took the opportunity to walk onto the stage.

“Hi, may I share some of my opinions?”

The host had just wanted to liven up the atmosphere. Now that there was someone to pick up the conversation, he naturally relented.

“Of course! Then, let’s listen to this gentleman!”

Nelson turned around, pointed at the model, and slowly began to speak.

Unlike most professional people, he explained it in layman’s terms instead of using professional jargon and terminology.

Other participants, who had just come to join in the fun, were led over to the scene by his explanation.

All of them were listening attentively to him. His explanation covered basic architecture knowledge, the beauty of Western architecture style and its development and current status in the architecture industry.

His presentation was informative and interesting.

When he uttered his last word, the audience burst into thunderous applause.

“What a fantastic explanation! I’m not a professional architect, but I listened to your talk spellbound!”

“Yeah, if the professor of my architecture course was such a talented speaker, I’d definitely attend every lecture punctually!”

The host was also elated. Nelson’s appearance had livened up the event to its maximum!

The host couldn’t help but ask a few more questions.

“Having such an excellent understanding of architecture, you must be a professional. May I know which company you work at?”

Upon hearing the question, Nelson looked at Naomi.

Naomi’s heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously turned her head away. She said, “Cutie Pie, let’s go over there!”

Benedict was speechless and reminded her again, “I’m not Cutie Pie anymore!”

Naomi seemed dispirited and replied with a simple ‘Whatever!’.

After a few steps, she heard Nelson say, “I’m working in Valiant East. I’m the assistant of that lady just now.”

Naomi stopped. Behind her, the crowd was giving another round of applause. The host went along with the crowd The host praised Naomi, “It turns out that this young lady was just hiding her light under a bushel! I’m ashamed that I couldn’t see through her. Valiant East is a company that is worthy of its reputation, as even an assistant is so proficient at his job.”

Naomi smiled in embarrassment, expressed her gratitude for the compliments, and then left with Benedict.

They walked around for a while.

Then, Benedict asked in curiosity, “What’s wrong? Why did you suddenly run away? By the way, I didn’t expect you to be so knowledgeable about architecture. I thought you spent most of your time practicing self defense techniques. I should learn a bit about architecture when I get back so that I don’t lose to you.”

As they were talking, Naomi caught a glimpse of Nelson and his colleague who were heading in another direction.

After thinking about it, she felt that she should thank Nelson for his help, so she spoke to Benedict again.

So, she spoke to Benedict again, “I’m going to the washroom. Just wait for me over there!”

…

When Naomi caught up to their backs, she overheard Nelson talking to his colleague.

His colleague said, “Chap, I’m going to tell the boss. Why did you claim that you were an employee of Valiant East despite being a member of the Inchee Company?”

Nelson wore a faint smile.

“Have mercy on me, please. I just don’t want to make things difficult for a girl.”

His colleague laughed upon hearing Nelson’s words and asked, “What? Are you talking about Miss George? If you like her, then go and pursue her!”

Nelson shook his head and said, “No, we’re just too different. Why should I waste her time?”

His colleague was puzzled and asked, “How does that work? Do you need to take so many things into account when you like someone? No wonder you seemed preoccupied after you came back from a business trip a few days ago. Is it because of your love life? I really can’t understand young people like you. Anyways, it’s up to you to decide your next step in your relationship with her! I’ll go in first.”

After that, his colleague turned and left.

As Nelson was about to leave, Naomi called out to him from behind.

She asked, “Nelson, so the words you said last time were all lies?”

He stopped in his tracks. With his back facing Naomi, a self-satisfied smirk crept up his face.

He then turned around and shook his head at Naomi.

“You must have misheard me. Things aren’t what you think.”

“I didn’t mishear you! You said those words in the hospital on purpose. Why did you say so? What are you so worried about?”
