Chapter 138
Stephen said, “You guys can submit the paperwork tomorrow
The businessmen put on their best grateful faces and thanked stephen for his kindness
“Thank you! Thank you!”
“I can’t thank you enough!!
“Here’s to you!”
In reality, their thoughts were elsewhere, thinking it was way too easy.
For three years, they had tried everything to get Ethan to grant them approvals to establish their factories in Aqua City. However, with Stephen, it took them less than a day
A few rounds of drinks later, Stephen started to get tipsy.
Oliver said, “Since Snow didn’t drink, why not let her send you back?”
With that, Snow drove Stephen back to his suite at the hotel. When she was about to leave, he grabbed her hand and made her stay.
The next morning, Stephen woke up sober and noticed Snow beside him, naked Confused he lifted the blanket, and seeing red on the sheets instantly made him sober up.
He asked himself, did he sleep with Snow last night?
As his mind raced, trying to process what had happened, his phone buzzed, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was a call from Rachel
The moment he answered the phone, Rachel asked, “Honey, what are you doing?”
He glanced at Snow beside him and answered nervously, “I’m busy working”
“Alright. I’ll leave you be. Talk to you soon!”
When the call ended, Stephen felt even more nervous.
There was no way he could abandon Rachel since they were engaged, but he did not want to lose Snow either, for she was the first woman who truly stirred her heart.
“What should I do now?” He felt a headache creeping in.
After splashing some cold water on his face in the bathroom, his head felt a little clearer.
While he was washing up, Snow opened her eyes and gave Oliver a call.
“It’s done deal. The fool believed it.”
In reality, Stephen had not touched Snow at all. The red stain on the sheets was just paint

that Snow had prepared in advance.
The foolish man had no idea he was caught in a carefully laid trap. The businessmen were using him to get approval for their factories, wille Snow was using him to approach Ethan.
After coming out of the bathroom, Stephen received a text from the businessmen, informing him that they were submitting the paperwork and that the process might take several days to get approval.
“Several days? That’s too slow.”
Stephen made a few calls to hasten the process, allowing the bosses to get their approvals in just a day.
Shortly after, Oliver called, saying, “Stephen, you can send over the blueprint for the stadium now. We’ll start as soon as possible.”
“I’ll email it to you right now.”
Stephen immediately sent Oliver the blueprint and also fired the existing contractor.
“If you can’t do it, plenty of others can. You guys are just incompetent,” he said.
The contractor who just got fired was furious by the abrupt notice, but Stephen felt satisfied. With the factory permits moving forward and the construction issue handled, he felt a weight lifted off his shoulders.
Next, he would have to introduce more varieties of aquatic life to the city and set up more tourist spots. He could also collaborate with influencers to promote the new tourist attractions, creating buzz around them. That way, by the time the sports games took place, the city’s economy would skyrocket.
Just then, Snow stepped out of the room, moving slowly.
Stephen looked slightly nervous when he saw her. “I’m sorry.
“It’s fine.” She shook her head, though her face looked rather pale.
Sensing her unease, Stephen went up and placed his hands on her shoulder. “I won’t leave you.”
Snow looked at him, touched. “I’ll go wherever you go.
As he hugged her tightly in his arms, Snow grinned.
Meanwhile, Oliver put down his phone and said to his fellow associates, “Snow has done it. We can move on to the next phase.”
They had been planning to set up factories in Aqua City for a long time, and the moment they got approval, the construction of new factories took place..
