Rebirth In Divorce My New Mr. Perfect (by Summer Knowles) novel Chapter 510

Melvin was already expanding on the idea in his mind - they could even add actors playing wild men, or maybe zombies for extra thrills.

"Sasa, great idea, but safety has to be our top priority."

Sarah nodded in understanding, then pointed to an area she'd had reserved next to the resort. “Melvin, guess what I want this space for?"

When Melvin looked confused, she continued, "A wellness center - I want to build the best therapeutic facility on the East Coast. Not just counseling, but stress relief zones too. Many people suffer because they can't release their emotions. This center would help with that."

"Your ideas never cease to amaze me," Melvin smiled. "This is your forte - it's all yours."

She nodded, checking the time. It was 9:20 - Joel was twenty minutes late without any sign of showing up.

“Melvin, is Joel still coming?" she asked, frowning.

Sarah found it odd too. Even if something came up, they should have received a call.

He reluctantly tried calling, but there was no answer.

In the quiet private room, coffee aroma hung thick in the air, broken only by the scratch of a pen.

Joel, the architect Melvin had been so eagerly awaiting, set down his pen with a satisfied smile, having just signed the contract where Vivian's signature was already in place.

Vivian looked up at Joel, who seemed anxious to leave. "Joel, I look forward to working with you."

Joel offered a polite smile. "Miss Wilson, likewise."

"Joel, you're an internationally renowned designer," Melvin said coldly. "Aren't you concerned about damaging your reputation?"

Joel seemed unwilling to explain further, speaking hastily, "Mr. Sanders, we never signed a contract, so this isn't a breach. Besides, your terms didn't meet my requirements."

Sarah cut in suddenly. "Joel, who exactly did you sign with?"

"The Wilsons."

"I see. We won't take any more of your time then." Melvin hung up coldly.

They weren't the only ones on Pine Mist Island today - the entire Sanders Group planning department was there too, all of them stood up by Joel.
