Chapter 48
My heart raced, threatening to spill out all the secrets buried deep in my soul. Taquickly posted away all the thoughts and mood at me ditance from that father and son duo Tenublu’t afford any drama here,
As I tended to my Jaur, Zoe asked me,
“You are just like me. Can you be my mom?
query caught me off guard: I found syself at a loss for words in response,
Jane had expressed her wish for Felixto be her dad earlier, and now, Zur wanted me to be his modury.
What the hell was going on there?
However, Jahe didn’t Pke Zor’s request; she was clearly upset. Spreading
“Don’t you have a mom, Zee? This is my momy
arms, she stood in front of me and replied to him on my behalf.
Zor’s adorable face lost all of its color in a split second as he looked down sadly, shaking his head
“No, I don’t have a mom!”
His pitous cry for help ached my heart. I quickly stepped in to stop their arguments.
Tad matmei Jane. Please don’t behave rudely.”
Zoe was just a child, yearning for a mother’s love; it wasn’t his fault to ask a harmless question, I sympathized with his situation as he didn’t seem close to Felix. He didn’t even hug his son after finding him.
Jane acted like a good girl and apologized to Zoe; she offered him her spare rocket model as well.
Tam sorry, Zoe.”
Zoe accepted the gift and talked like an adult.
*We should share our engineering projects, Jane. Collaboration makes better innovations.”
While the two kids were discussing their projects, I took this chance to express my gratitude to Felix
“Thank you so much for helping me find my Jane. I sincerely appreciate it.”
Felix smiled in acknowledgment, his tone was soft in response.
“I am glad to help you. Miss Becker.”
After this, some of the tension between us eased. Just like a true businessman. Felix seized this opportunity and requested.
“I would like to partner with your consulting firm for this quarter, Miss Becker.”
His request turned my expression sour, freezing my facial expression in a heartbeat. I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at him.
felix’s help, his changed attitude, and treating me considerately after Melody’s drama–all this was calculated. Everything he did had an ulterice motive. He was such a cunning fox!
As I didict utter a single word and looked toward the door to leave, he tried to convince me with his reasoning.
“I really admire your company’s ability to provide strategic consulting for aerdipace ventures, Miss Becker. But space technology is a new area for your firm. And unfortunately, you don’t has much recognition in the Boston aerospace community yet.”
After counting my company’s shortcomings, he pointed out the issues for me and then offered solutions like an angel
“The industry interest in your consulting services isn’t high yet, Miss Becker. Partner with me for this quarter, my involvement would be a win–win
situation for both of us.”

Chapter 48
Oh really?
I could understand where Tells was coming from. He was a typical bushiessman trying to strike a deal with a strong consulting firm.
He had been investing in space tourism lately, but his ventures needed expert guidance, which would only be provided by my company.
I was new in Boston, and everyone had their eyes fixed on my every single move. The news of his partnership with my company would create a Insta in the business community, boosting his creifibility as a serious space entrepreneur.
It would be a great step for the promotion of both enterprises.
Honestly speaking, I was surprised by the change in his principles. Felix was used to bring independent, his self made mindset was something he was proud of
He hated accepting help from established firms as he was from a modest background originally
I still remembered that once I had asked my father’s contacts to arrange opportunities for Felix when he was a newbie. Working with a renowned aerospace company could get him exposure to major projects, a way to showcase his potential.
My dad used his connections to prepare a contract, and when I gave
to Felix, he pushed it aside like trash.
“How dare you patronize me like this, Drielle? Do you think that I am a failure, who can’t achieve anything on his own? I don’t need your family’s help for success!”
My heart shattered to see his rude attitude. Instead of being grateful for my favor, he thought that I had tried to hurt his pride. He refused to talk to me and ignored me completely at the lab, so I went to apologize at his apartment
It was December, heavy snowfall and harsh winter had covered our whole city with a white blanket. The temperature was minus three degrees Celsius that evening when I reached his home and knocked at his door,
Guess what he did?
Not only did he ignore my calls for hours but pretended not to be home. I had to stand in the cold for the entire evening before he opened the door for
me!
The bitterness of that incident still haunted me, making me feel stupid that I wasted my golden years trying to please him, tronically, be accepted a similar deal later and took part in the project. That was the very first project that launched his career.
The fatigue of years settled in as I glanced at his face and weighed the pros and cons of his offer. Being emotional could rest in loss of business opportunities, and I had planned extensively to make lúm pay.
I’ll ensure that those who rise too high come crashing down.
I replied to him calmly.
“Come to my office at 10:00 am
