His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 254 Improving the Proposal

Hoada Masahiro seemed to be completely different from their previous encounters, providing Autumn

with constant reference to common topics including Japanese customs and culture. In all fairness, this

inspired Autumn a lot.

They left the car behind at the entrance of Light House Company. Hoada Masahiro showed Autumn

around to familiarize her with the venue including basic situations. Afterwards he should go back to the

hotel. Turning to Autumn he said, "Miss Ye, this pre-tour of the company was intended to get you

familiar with the venue. This should give you ideas for a wonderful presentation. Now that you have the

advantage, please perfect the proposal and deliver a well-made presentation tomorrow. And please do

not let me down."

"Mr. Hoada." Autumn stopped Hoada Masahiro and uttered, "I am highly confident that we can bring

our proposal into fruition. You can rest assured. But there is a matter, I...."

"Miss Ye, we are friends. You are free to speak your mind to me." Hoada Masahiro assured Autumn.

"There is the question of the budget. The budget that the Light House Company currently offers to us is

extremely low. It being such a case, I would be financially straitened to work out a perfect proposal."

Autumn pointed out the key problem directly, but Hoada Masahiro took it calmly. "Don't worry, you will

get your due so long as you drive this proposal to a complete victory. "

"Thank you, Mr. Hoada." Autumn would accept the conditions gladly in order to improve the reputation

of her company. However, Autumn would not let her employees including her planners be ill-rewarded

for this proposal. They have to support themselves and their respective families.

Autumn gave a call to Charles after leaving Light House Company and learned that Charles had

completed his business matters for the day. Charles drove over to pick her up and spend the rest of the

day together.

They went shopping throughout the afternoon until Autumn felt too exhausted to continue. Sensing his

wife's fatigue, Charles decided to dine somewhere before returning to the hotel.

Although Autumn was fully confident with her proposal, she thought there was something else to be

improved after the investigation and scrutiny of the company and the hotel. After dinner and back at the

hotel, Autumn decided to turn on her computer to perfect the proposal while Charles took a shower.

The more Autumn worried about her proposal, the more she wanted to keep working at it. Charles

came out of the shower to find her wife restlessly and anxiously staring at her computer screen.

"What is wrong?" Charles had a bath towel wrapped around his waist, the residual water dripping from

his hair down to his muscular chest. This made Autumn look up and stare at him. Driven by lust, her

heart started to beat faster.

"Nothing serious." Autumn shook her head to clear her mind and told Charles, "You can go to bed. I

really have to complete this. For the sake of the company."

"Let me stay with you." Charles sat down beside her, looking over her shoulder and trying to

understand what she was working on.

However, Autumn felt uncomfortable, as if being checked on by a boss.

"This is not quite reasonable under the context of Japanese culture." Charles immediately brought forth

his suggestion after scanning the file in front of him, "Japanese culture is actually an offshoot of its

Chinese origins with striking similarities. You should alter it like this...."

Charles offered many suggestions to improve the proposal. This impressed and inspired Autumn. Now

she could perfect her proposal to her satisfaction. After careful and repeated alterations, she could

address any issues and challenges.

"Why are you looking at me in astonishment?" Charles asked his wife with curiosity. His hair has dried

after the time-consuming review.

"Nothing." Autumn smiled to Charles, "I just wonder why you seem more knowledgeable than I am

regarding my planning. Your suggestions are beyond my reach, a surprise to me, indeed. I'm very

impressed."

"No wonder." Charles caressed Autumn's hair and smiled, "Anyway, your client will definitely love and

appreciate your proposal. Most planners try their best to make their proposal glittery and grand but not

practical. A good boss knows what he expects of a proposal which should be both classy and.... more

importantly, useful with highlights."

Charles paused and continued, "As your dear husband... I have long been picky with the proposals

from my employees. Therefore, I am able to give you the most pertinent suggestions from a first-hand

experience."

And with that, Autumn was enlightened by Charles's explanation.

With the proposal complete, Charles pushed Autumn into the bathroom for a refreshing shower,

"Before delivering a wonderful presentation for your proposal tomorrow morning, you should take a

shower and have a good rest."

After taking a shower, Autumn came out to find her husband lying on the bed reading a foreign

language book. Charles dropped his book naturally at the sight of his wife drying her hair. He welcomed

her into his arms and lulled her to sleep.

Charles whispered to his wife in the dark, "Good night."

The next morning, Autumn got up, little expecting that her husband had sent for their breakfast, "Since

you are now up, get yourself ready so we can dine together."

After breakfast, Charles drove Autumn to Light House Company. Before Autumn got out of the car, he

said to Autumn, "I am afraid I will not be able to pick you up later. I am sure I will be held up by a

meeting. You should take good care of yourself and I will see you tonight."

"Ok, see you!" Autumn nodded gently. She was neither the needy nor dependent kind of woman.

Moreover, Charles had stayed with her throughout the afternoon the day before. Standing in front of

Light House Company, Autumn took a deep breath and walked into the building.

The meeting room of Light House Company was located on the 20th floor. In the elevator, Autumn tried

to remember all of Charles's advice and got mentally prepared for the presentation with boosted Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
