Chapter 512 An Outstanding Designer

The photos were mostly taken as we were leaving the bar. The angles were peculiar, with some making it seem like Zack was holding me. In one of the photos, it even looked like we were kissing. I scanned the room. Mr. Finnley avoided eye contact while Mackenzie's initial shock quickly gave way to a mocking smirk. The representatives from Gray Realty, however, looked unimpressed. "Is this what your company prepared for us? Ms. Surrey's romantic escapades?" one of them asked coldly. Laughter erupted across the room, and all eyes turned to me. Astrid looked visibly anxious, unsure of what to do. Meanwhile, Annie quietly slipped out while no one was paying attention. I closed the slideshow and opened the design software without missing a beat. "Apologies. It seems someone thought this would make for a funny prank. But don't worry, it won't disrupt our meeting." I couldn't afford to waste time. Gray Realty's visit was clearly a surprise inspection to evaluate potential partners.
