Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 1152

"Even without Professor Zizka's backing, I'm still capable of joining the airport project on my terms."

Leopold's favoritism for Keely left a bad taste in Loraine's mouth. A recommendation from him, if given, would not bring her joy. Days later, Vagow's architectural association convened a strategic consultation meeting for the renovation of White Cloud Airport. The aim was to onboard Leopold promptly so they could reach a consensus on the airport redesign without delay.

A plethora of renowned designers in Vagow were invited, including representatives from associated companies. Among the invitees were

Loraine and Marco.

The meeting day dawned, and Loraine arrived at the venue carrying her design blueprint. She was greeted at the entrance by Klein.

Loraine scanned the crowd but didn't see the person she was anticipating. Her disappointment was evident.

Klein picked up on her facial expression. He teased her with a cryptic smile, "Mr. Bryant was caught up with some pressing matters and will arrive later." Caught off guard, Loraine responded indignantly, "Why are you bringing him up? I couldn't care less if he shows up or not... Let's head in.

Professor Zizka will be here shortly."

She entered the meeting hall alongside Klein, locating and taking her seat. Shortly after, Leopold and Keely entered the hall amidst a crowd of people. Leopold, with a smile on his face, sat down and began perusing the submitted blueprints, nodding occasionally.

Suddenly, his expression turned grim and he tossed a paper onto the table.

Noticing this, the host rushed to ask, "Professor Zizka, is there an issue?"

Leopold pointed to a name on the list and replied coldly, "Apologies, but I refuse to work with this individual."

The name he pointed to was Loraine.

A hushed silence filled the hall as all eyes turned to Loraine.

Klein quickly got to his feet and defended, "Professor Zizka, Miss

Torres is an esteemed architect in Vagow."

However, Leopold cut him off, "If you're concerned about not having a fitting design for the airport project, rest assured. My team is brimming with talent. In fact, my student has a proposal that aligns perfectly with this project. You might consider adopting it outright."

Keely, standing elegantly next to him, shared a warm smile with everyone. Her eyes shimmered with satisfaction and pride.

Loraine's grip tightened in frustration, her knuckles whitening. The blatant favoritism shown to Keely by Leopold, without even offering her a fair shot, was unexpected.
