Chapter 768 Mr. Montagu Brought a Gift
Kurt chuckled and said, "No need to rush. Let's eat first, and we can chat while we do."
Mary's expression stayed calm. "You mentioned earlier that my draft wasn't what you were looking for. Can you tell me what you found unsuitable?"
Kurt's smile faded a bit. "Mary, I prefer not to discuss business over meals."
Mary paused for a moment. "Alright, I get it."
Seeing that she wisely refrained from continuing the work-related conversation, Kurt's expression softened a bit.
"Mary, are you from Lindwood City? Being an architect must be tough. Honestly, someone as beautiful as you could consider a more relaxed and comfortable job. There's no need to work so hard."
Kurt started chatting with her, though his choice of topics felt uncomfortable.
Mary replied coolly, "I'm really into architectural design, so I've stuck with it."
Kurt nodded. "That's great, turning your hobby into a career. But have you ever thought about starting your studio? Working for someone else isn't ideal in the long run. You end up being exploited by your boss, which isn't worth it."
His words were steering the conversation in a particular direction.
Mary responded, "It's fine. My boss is a friend, and my work is pretty flexible."
Kurt looked at her beautiful face, the soft light falling on her features. Her polite yet distant demeanor had an ethereal beauty, making him curious to see other expressions on her face.
Kurt's hand rested on the table, his fingers tapping rhythmically. His gaze held a growing interest.
Mary's brow furrowed slightly, feeling a sense of caution.
Just then, there was a knock on the private room door.
"Who is it?" Kurt turned to look.
The door opened, and South walked in, nodding respectfully to Mary. "Mrs. Montagu, this is a gift from Mr. Montagu."
South held a box with both hands and presented it to Mary.
"Mrs. Montagu? You're married?" Kurt exclaimed, looking at Mary in surprise.
As South entered, Mary's brow had already furrowed. Before she could speak, South addressed Kurt, "This is Mr. Montagu's wife."
Kurt was so shocked he nearly jumped out of his seat!
Matthew! The new head of the Montagu Group, a century-old powerhouse in Lindwood City!
His recent bold move had stunned the city's elite, who thought he was finished. But what happened?
He turned the tables, securing the largest share and taking control of the Montagu Group!
Richard was ousted from the board and was now hospitalized with a stroke!
Matthew's rise in Lindwood City was meteoric!
Everyone began to reassess this young Matthew.
And this seemingly ordinary Mary was his wife!
Kurt's palms instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
Thank goodness he hadn't said anything inappropriate. If he had, he might as well pack up and leave!
South noticed Kurt's face turn pale, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes. He then turned to Mary, "Mrs. Montagu, Mr. Montagu is still waiting for your response."
Mary took a deep breath, accepted the box, and opened it to reveal a pink diamond bracelet.
The pink diamonds sparkled under the light, and the intricate design gave the bracelet an artistic flair.
