“Ah?” Clair was stunned by Amelia’s sudden request.

“Don’t get me wrong,” Amelia quickly explained. “My mother used to hold my hand when we were on the plane. I wasn’t that scared, so…”

Before Amelia could finish, Clair had already held her hand gently.

“Miss CEO, are you feeling better?” Clair smiled warmly.

Looking at Clair’s warm smile, Amelia was stunned for a moment before a bashful expression appeared on her face.

“One more thing, can you not call me ‘Miss CEO’? Can you call me by my name in the future?”

‘Just like before!’ The last sentence was Amelia’s inner voice, echoing in Clair’s mind.

‘Just like before? Did I really know Amelia?’ This was not the first time. There were a few times when Amelia told him that they knew each other.

‘Why don’t I have any impression of it?’

“Clair, why aren’t you talking? You don’t want to?” Amelia suddenly became like a shy little girl, careful and cautious.

“No, of course I will, Amelia!” Clair called out softly.

Hearing Clair call her name again, Amelia was pleasantly surprised, and her nervousness and fear were greatly reduced.

Feeling the warmth of Clair’s hand, Amelia’s thoughts raced. Memories of her childhood kept appearing in her mind. She remembered that back then, Clair would hold her hand and protect her in front of her like this.

For a moment, Amelia wanted to tell Clair about their relationship but held back in the end. Now was not the time!

However, at least for now, she wanted to enjoy the time alone with Clair. She was not the CEO, and Clair was not her employee. They were just themselves!

Amelia tightened her grip on Clair’s hand as if she was afraid that he would run away.

At this moment, Clair looked calm on the surface, but his heart was already in turmoil!

‘I’m holding Amelia’s hand? Her hands were so small, as if they had no bones. They were so soft and smooth!’

As he thought about it, Clair became nervous. He did not dare to move his hand, as if the hand that was holding onto Amelia was not his.

‘Is he nervous? He’s so silly and so cute!’

‘She praised me for being cute? Is she interested in me? Is Amelia interested in me?’ Clair became more and more nervous.

“Clair, why do I feel like you’re so nervous?” Amelia teased.

“Me? Nervous? No! Hehe, I… I’m not nervous at all.”

Amelia chuckled.

‘Idiot!’

“Clair, thank you!” Amelia suddenly whispered shyly.

Clair did not say anything, but a smile appeared on his face.

An ambiguous atmosphere spread between the two of them.

Amid the flirtatious atmosphere, Amelia temporarily forgot her fear and even forgot about time.

Two hours later, the plane finally arrived in Nuoding.

Clare held onto Amelia’s hand as they got off the plane with their luggage. The two of them did not seem to realize what was going on until they left the airport. Amelia suddenly realized that her hand was still being held by Clare.

“Clair… Erm, I’m fine now. You can let go of my hand,” Amelia suddenly said from behind Clair.

Clair also reacted and let go of Amelia’s hand.

“Amelia, I’m sorry, I forgot,” Clair explained nervously.

Looking at Clair’s panicked expression, Amelia could not help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

“It’s alright.”

‘Damn it! Why am I so nervous? I’ve never been so nervous when I was with Rui Ya!’

In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Clair quickly changed the topic.

“Oh right, I forgot to ask you, Amelia. What are we doing in Nuoding?”

“I’m here to participate in a bidding event!”

“Bidding?” Clair was even more curious.

“There’s a National Museum in Nuoding City, and it’s going to be rebuilt and renovated, so they’ve invited many interior design companies to bid for it. The winning design company can lead the redesigning of the National Museum!”

“The National Museum! It’s not a small project!” Clair also realized the importance of the matter.

“That’s right. If we can get this project, not only will we not be able to profit, but we will also be able to reach a new level for Dawn! They might even become one of the top interior design companies in the country!” Amelia’s eyes were filled with confidence.

To be able to own her own design company at such a young age and develop it into the top design company in Lund City, Clair had no doubt about Amelia’s ability. However, he was even more confused. Why did she bring him to such an important occasion?

Although Clair was very confident in himself, there was a limit to what he could do on such a big project. Of course, it was mainly based on experience.

As if she could read Clair’s mind, Amelia said confidently, “Don’t worry, you don’t need to feel so much pressure. I asked you to come with me this time mainly to let you see more, learn more, and grow as soon as possible. As for the bidding, I alone am enough!”

At this moment, Amelia’s body seemed to be glowing!

A man’s confident appearance was very attractive, and this charm would attract women to approach him. Similarly, a woman’s confident appearance was also very attractive, and it would also attract men to approach her. Clair was now convinced by Amelia’s charm.

‘Her alone is enough! What an awesome statement! She’s so cool!’

Amelia raised her wrist to look at the time. “It’s about to start. Let’s go!”

With that, Amelia and Clair left the airport and hailed a taxi to Nuoding National Museum.
