Liana had just tucked her phone into her white lab cost when she spotted a dashing, stylishly dressed

man striding towards the VIP ward.

The moment he saw her, his

Recognizing he was here for Eleanor, Liana stiffened, thinking to herself, “Has Ms. Shultz’s suitor

Though taken aback, Liana

He pulled out a

After shaking her hand and slipping the card into her hand, Pearce flashed her a grin. “If you ever need

With that, he swiftly turned and headed for the ward. But as he turned, his smile vanished in an

Pearce paused at the door of the ward, his smile returning as he knocked on the door. “Ms. Shultz, may

I come in?”

Hailey, who was massaging Eleanor’s legs, looked up at the man outside the door. “And you are?”

Leaning against the doorframe, Pearce ran his fingers through his hair. “Pearce.”

Eleanor, remembering Ethan mentioning someone coming to tutor her in architecture, invited him in

without turning around.

As Pearce entered and saw Eleanor’s back wrapped in layers of gauze, a frown creased his brow

condition

Eleanor cast an apologetic glance at him. “I’m sorry, but I don’t think I’ll be able to learn design from

you for a while.”

Pearce responded with a brilliant, clean smile. “That’s alright, you can start with the theory”

He checked his phone for the time and told Eleanor, “From now on, I’ll set aside two hours each day to

With a wave of his hand and a smile that seemed a bit forced, Pearce adjusted his expression before

telling Eleanor, “Before I start teaching you, Ms. Shultz, I need to know a bit about your background.”

Lying on her stomach, Eleanor didn’t notice his change in expression and simply nodded her consent.

Having received her permission, Pearce began to ask about Eleanor’s background, “Where did you

graduate from?”

Surprised, Eleanor lowered her gaze, slightly ashamed. “A university in A City”

Pearce raised on eyebrow. “The University of A?”

When Eleanor shook her head, Pearce understood that it probably wasn’t a highly rated school.

A hint of disdain appeared in his eyes, but he forced himself not to dwell on her academic background

and quickly changed the subject.

“What field of design did you study?”

“Brand design”

“Have you won any awards?”

“Do competitions held by the school count?”

Pearce didn’t know how to respond.

He quickly deemed Eleanor unqualified and didn’t bother asking any more questions.

Maintaining a smile that was on the verge of becoming a grimace, Pearce said to Eleanor, “Ms. Shultz,

the projects your sister has taken on are not just ordinary interior designs. They are iconic buildings

representing each country, each city. You’ve had no previous understanding of this. To achieve what

your sister has in a short period of time is nearly impossible. I suggest you familiarize yourself with her

design style first, and then try to mimic it. That might prevent you from making mistakes.”

Eleanor was already aware of this and felt the pressure mounting. However, she firmly nodded at

Pearce. “I’ll work hard, Mr. Hooper.”

Keeping his polite smile, Pearce’s words carried a hint of mockery “Sometimes, no matter how hard a

person tries, it’s useless if they lack talent”

Hailey, sitting nearby, was already feeling hurt from Pearce’s questions about Eleanor’s education.

Unable to hold back, she retorted, “How do you know Eleanor doesn’t have talent if you haven’t seen

her design drafts?”

Pearce turned to look at Hailey. His smile faltered, then collapsed. “You look like a high school

graduate.”

Hailey clenched her fists, but Pearce turned back to Eleanor, smiling again. “Ms. Shultz, just a friendly

reminder. I might be a bit tough when I teach. So be prepared.

Eleanor nodded lightly, “No problem.”

Seeing her cooperation, Pearce stood up to leave.

As he stepped outside the ward, he rubbed his aching cheeks from too much smiling, cursing under his

breath, “Damn, my face is frozen from all that smiling!”
