Silence Walks Beside Us by Eli Dane Cade 176

Chapter 176 

William had a perfect smile on his face. 

He looked considerate and sensible. 

He said to Ash, “I’ll wait for you. There’s no rush.” 

Calvert touched his back teeth with the tip of his tongue, his narrow eyes slightly narrowed. 

They were both men. Calvert knew exactly what William was thinking.

Before William went out, Calvert caught a glimpse of his figure and said lightly, “Come home with me for dinner tonight.” 

William’s eyes dimmed slightly at his words. When he held the doorknob, there was a hint of bitterness in his eyes. It seemed that Calvert was not as cold and heartless as the rumors said. At least not to Ash. 

“Don’t we just need to discuss the proposal? Is it necessary to take that long?” Ash didn’t speak until William went out. 

Just now, because William was there, if she had said it, it would have meant not giving Calvert face, so she endured it until William went out, and then she questioned him. 

Calvert’s expression was cold and his emotions were unclear, “You think it’s too long and will disturb you two?” 

Ash was speechless. 

She then let out a helpless breath. “If that’s what you think, then there’s really nothing I can do.” 

She spoke this classic scumbag line. 

In fact, this was not her intention, but Calvert’s ability to misunderstand people was extremely strong. As long as he didn’t believe it, no matter how much she said, it was in vain. 

Since that was the case, she might as well not say anything. 

“That’s how you behave, so that’s all I can think. I just hope you remember to be mindful of your identity and respect each other during the contract period.” Calvert was jealous, and his jealousy was sudden and intense. 

Calvert was jealous, and his jealousy was sudden and intense. 

Ash had always been cheerful and direct, and sometimes she couldn’t understand the implications of his words, let alone understand where Calvert’s inexplicable emotions came from. 

She twirled the pen in her hand and said, “Why do you always misunderstand me? There’s nothing going on between us. Am I not even allowed to have male friends?” 

“Platonic friendships between men and women are rare.” Calvert had always believed that William’s intentions toward Ash were not pure, at least not out of friendship. 

Ash said lightly, “So? Just because they’re rare means they don’t exist? Mr. Snider, just because you don’t have platonic friendships doesn’t mean others don’t, OK?” 

“Fine, you don’t have to believe me. You can ask him why he’s so devoted to you” Calvert didn’t want to say anything more. 

Continuing the argument would only lead to another fight, and he obviously didn’t want that to happen. 

Ash said, “Let’s just get down to business. I think we’re both busy and shouldn’t dwell on trivial matters. You can just discuss the proposal with me. Do you need me to call Vanessa?”

Calvert didn’t say anything. He took out a document from the side and placed it on the table in front of him.

You can come over here.” Ash frowned slightly, not understanding why Calvert was still sitting so far away from her. 

He pursed his lips, his expression cold. “Since I’m the client, you should be the one to come over here. I don’t like sitting where others have sat.” 

Ash was genuinely speechless. 

The chair opposite her desk wasn’t exclusively for anyone, and she knew that Calver didn’t mind it before. 

However, he had suddenly become so picky. 

Ash felt that he was truly a jerk. 

Ash silently cursed him a few times, got up and took two steps, then sat down opposite him. But she still felt bad, so she picked up the document, looked at him and said, “But someone sat where you are sitting before. What should we do, Mr. Snider?” 

Calvert’s expression didn’t change. He calmly said, “This is an open sofa, and that’s a single–seat chair. The two are different.” 

She was impressed by his logic. 

Ash didn’t bother to argue anymore. She opened the file and looked at it. The people at the Snider Group were really capable. In just a few days, they had actually overturned the previous plan. 

And it took the already improved plan to a new level. 

Ash said, “The core of our traditional culture in this version of the plan is deeper and more artistic than the previous one. It’s better, but this is just a framework. It will take some time to improve it later. We will leave that to you.” 

Although the Snider Group was the initiator, they had to do nothing. After all, this project was a collaboration between the two parties. 

Calvert nodded slightly, his expression calm. “When filling in the framework, we must pay attention to the details. Some details in the previous version were not handled properly. 

“For example, the connection of scene transitions and the connection between shots. These two need special attention. In addition, I suggest that we need to add more elderly people to the characters. At present, the overall game characters are relatively young, and the age levels are not delicately portrayed.” 

Ash listened attentively and made revisions to the document. Calvert often had a unique perspective on problems and was always able to notice details that others overlooked. 

Inspired by what he said, Ash had a new idea. “For the characterization, can we make the image open and transparent? Maybe let the players create it themselves? 

“But that doesn’t mean we won’t come up with our own. We will give five alternative plans, so that players can make changes to the plans and even initiate a vote. If the vote is high, they can get corresponding rewards.” 

Calvert nodded slightly in agreement. “If so, we can limit the number of times, we can also limit the time, and the image 

needs to be diversified. 

“Also, the person in charge of this platform needs to be careful. This is our first event, and there can’t be any mistakes.” 

This project was still in its initial setup phase, and they had encountered several problems already. Calvert didn’t want anything that would have a negative impact on the process. 

The two of them hit it off, and Ash smiled knowingly. “Okay, that works. This can be left to Vanessa. She’s in charge. Don’t

“The team led by Finn is okay for now. The initial draft of the character image is estimated to be completed in a week. As for the system, Jackson has already finished it.” 

Calvert’s eyebrows raised slightly, his eyes flickering, and his thin lips parted. “You really make the most of everything, using all your resources to the fullest.” 

“You mean I like to cut corners? There’s no need to make it sound so high and mighty. It’s foolish not to use resources when you have them. This project is very important to me right now. As long as it’s beneficial to me, I’ll accept it all.” 

He spoke again, his voice light, “So you want William to help you too?”
