She was greeted by the rhythmic clanking of metal tools.
Trent arrived a bit late, spotting Lilah as he stepped out of his car. With a friendly smile, he greeted her, "Early bird, huh, Miss Phillips?"
“Just got here," Lilah replied with a smile.
Trent motioned for her to enter, gesturing toward the building.
"Shall we take a look inside?" he suggested.
“Sure thing." Lilah nodded.
Entering the hall, they observed the workers bustling about. Trent turned to Lilah, curiosity shining in his eyes. "What's the plan, Miss Phillips?" he asked eagerly.
Taking in the surroundings, Lilah said with enthusiasm, "I suggest we spice up the hall with entertainment options. Alongside jewelry, let's add some fun, like..."
Trent leaned in, captivated by Lilah's idea. When Lilah finished sharing her suggestion, she glanced at Trent and said, “Mr. Barton, please tell me if there's anything you think we should change."
"Great thinking! Your ideas are spot-on and worth considering," he said, beaming.
Impressed by Lilah's business acumen, Trent couldn't help but admire her. She truly stood out.
Lilah flashed a graceful smile, pressing on. “Are you sure there's nothing else we should tweak, Mr. Barton?"
Trent said, "Yes, I think your suggestions are excellent."
Lilah smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Barton."
"For what?" As they walked on, Trent responded, "Miss Phillips, honestly, you are the most business-savvy woman I have ever encountered."
“I merely shared some ideas," Lilah replied modestly.
Unique ideas mattered in everything; even the smallest detail showcased a person's knack for future planning.
Trent urged, "No need to be shy. Let's move ahead and check it out."
"Okay."
Trent felt like he found a kindred spirit and chatted animatedly with Lilah. He was thrilled to hear Lilah's responses.
They continued their discussion as they ascended to the second floor.
"Miss Phillips, anyone would be lucky to marry you! Ha-ha!"
"I'm flattered, Mr. Barton." Lilah didn't consider herself anything out of the ordinary. In her eyes, she was just a regular person.
Trent laughed heartily. But as Lilah approached a box, a flowerpot from above suddenly plummeted toward her.
