THE PROTECTOR
Chap 11's

Actually, Zoey had been awake for a long time now, but she did not make a sound. He looked at Levi in surprise.

He's correct. The Lopez family really wanted me back.

‘But why?’

Zoey's heart jumps down her throat when she hears Levi asking Harry to come pick her up in person. Harry always felt tall and mighty.  Never in a million years would he accept Levi's proposal.

 Levi just provoked him by having him personally invite him back.

"good.  Forget it if Harry refuses to come!  Goodbye bye!" Levi hung up.

"You crazy?"  Zoey.  “How can you ask Grandpa to come and pick me up?  I said we went back alone and forgot everything.  Looks like something very serious happened based on their tone.”

“Do not.  Just hang.  Three two one…"

Sure enough, Zoey's phone rang as soon as Levi finished counting down.

"Father has agreed to pick you up," Henry's helpless voice sounded.  "Now give me your address!"

“Hotel University Borman city!”

"Your room number?"

“You don't need to know.  We'll go down by ourselves when Harry arrives" Levi said. This was to prevent Harry from coming.

"Huh?  Did Grandpa really come?” Having lived in Harry's shadow since he was a child, Zoey is terrified to the end of his hair.

“What are you nervous about?  He is here to invite you back, ” Levi said with a smile on his face.

Zoey was so scared that she forgot Levi's previous prediction—Harry will invite you back in person.

About half an hour later, a Mercedes Benz stopped in front of the hotel with Harry appearing in front of them.

 "Come on.  Come down.” Zoey was still trembling as she grabbed Levi's arm, not letting go.

When Harry saw Zoey, he involuntarily shouted, “Zoey, you!  Grandfather has something important to discuss with you!” Zoey was stunned to see the pleasant smile on Harry's face.

‘When did Grandpa ever smile at me?’

In the car, Harry started, “We're going to go for a business demo, okay, Zoey?  Didn't you work on the West City Ecological Park development project before?  Well, now is your chance.  Mr. Jennings of the Ministry of Construction asked you to submit a proposal and elaborate it to them.”

“You must do your best!  I believe you can do this!”

A few minutes before eight o'clock, the bewildered Zoey and Levi arrive at the office building in charge of the project.

"Miss Lopez, you're here" said Orlando, standing up and rising to greet them.

"Did Miss Lopez and this guy like tea or coffee?"

"Tea for me and coffee for her," Levi said briefly as he sat down gracefully.

Zoey, however, was completely dumbfounded.

He's Mr Jennings!  The person in charge of the management of the Ministry of Construction!

Even Joseph Garrison had to bow down to him when he saw him.

‘Why is he so polite to me?’

 “Did you hear that?  Now go and make it for them” Orlando told his secretary.

"Come on.  Sitting,” Levi said, seeing that he was fixated, he pulled Zoey to sit next to him.

Shortly thereafter, coffee and tea were served.

Zoey raised her cup with both hands, still trembling while Levi crossed her legs, showing off the atyrant pads. Orlando stood in front of them like a servant, full of respect. He did not even dare to look at Levi.

‘He's the legendary man!’

Taking a deep breath, Zoey stood up and handed the proposal over.  “Tu-Master.  Jennings, I'm Zoey Lopez.  It's nice to meet you.  This is my proposal!  Please see!"

Orland laughing.  “Your ability to speak very well, Miss. Lopez.  We can rule out that proposal.  You have our full trust.”

Uhukkc…

When Orlando's eyes met Levi's frightening eyes, he quickly took over the proposal and studied it with several other project leaders, with Zoey explaining beside him.

About half an hour later, Orlando got up and said with a smile, “We're right about you, Miss. Lopez!  It's perfect!  The plan was ninety-five out of a hundred!  After revising some details from our side, it is perfect now.”

"Does that mean we got the job?"  Levi asked.

Orlandia nodded.  “We received thirty-three bid documents from the initial selection, and so far Miss Lopez has the highest score!  We have checked the capabilities of Imperial Meadows Limited and the Lopez Group before this, and you guys are basically qualified to take on this project!  Now we just need to make a deal and sign a contract three days later.”

Zoey knows it's all cut and dried!

Levi got up, pulled Zoey away and said in passing, “Thank you.”.

"What's?  No-no.  Here's what we have to do!”

Hearing Levi's words of gratitude, Orlando was so frightened that he almost knelt down. Even after coming out, Zoey still felt like she was dreaming.

“Zoey, how?”  Harry and a dozen others gathered around him.

“Grandfather, we passed the initial selection and my score was the highest, ninety-five!  Mr. Jennings asked me to stop by for three more days to sign the contract.  I. We will be in charge of the development of this project.  But they're still in the selection process, so we have to keep this a secret!". Zoey initially wanted to say that she would be working on the project herself, but seeing Harry, she instinctively changed her tone.

"Very bgus!  I'm so proud of you, Zoey!  You are the hero of the Lopez family!” Harry was excited, and so were the others.

After all, it was a one billion grand project. Throughout Zoey's memory, Harry had only praised her twice. The first time was when he married Levi, a successful young man, six years ago. And this time the compliment felt unreal to him.

“Zoey, are you sure we got this project and all we have to do is sign another three days contract?"  Harry asked again, still feeling a little uneasy.

Zoey nodded.  “Yes, Grandpa.  I'm sure!"

"Okay, don't trade anymore!" Harry breathed a sigh of relief.

After that, Levi, Zoey, and Lopez's family each disbanded and went home.

"That's very unexpected, Dad!"  Henry chuckles.  “We really got the job!  I've asked my friend to ask Secretary Mr. Jennings about it, and it's true!” Harry's face was shining. 

"Yes, this is great happiness for the Lopez family."

"Grandfather," said Samuel, after hesitating for a long time.  “Are you really going to give Zoey full authority to handle this project?  I am worried about Levi's wild ambitions, this project has nothing to do with kiya when the time comes.”

Harry laughs.  “Oh, Samuel, I've thought about it!  Didn't you hear me just now?  Now that the project is ours and all we need is to sign a three-day contract, Zoey has no more value for us. Moreover, can his small, limited family develop a billion-plus project? ”

“So you will go and sign a three-day contract!  I just gave Zoey a nominal position.  I didn't mean to make him take part in the development of this project. ”Samuel laughs cynically. 

"That's a great thought, Grandpa!”
