Rayne remained relatively calm when she heard that it would be a bunker. She had already had a small suspicion back during the contest, and now Noah proved her to be correct.
Noah was once again surprised at how calm Rayne was. He expected her to be stunned, and ask questions. But she just sat there, calmly waiting for him to continue.
"I know this will be a bit demanding, but we need the design completed as soon as possible. Preferably within the month".
This time Rayne's eyes widened! A timeline of just a month was a nearly impossible ask! Especially for a project this large in scale!
"Secretary Mathews! I believe you are overestimating my capabilities! To design something this large, to completion is near impossible!", exclaimed Rayne.
"Yes, it will be difficult and demanding, however I believe in your ability. I will also assist you around the clock, whenever you need. Please come to me with any questions or concerns", replied Noah.
Rayne was still in disbelief, she would have to put in so much effort for this project that she wouldn't be able to do much more outside of that.
Noah picked up another document and handed it over to Rayne.
"This will explain the compensation we have prepared for you".
Rayne glanced over the paper and nearly jumped out of the chair! If she completed this contract she would never have to work again for the rest of her life!
The monetary compensation was over one billion dollars!
She took a deep breath to calm herself and turned to look at Noah.
"Okay, I accept".
Noah smiled and stood up, collecting the signed documents.
"Okay now that we got all of that out of the way, here is a list of mandatory requirements for the bunker. Feel free to add anything you see fit. I will be reviewing the initial design at the end of the week."
Rayne looked at the list. Her design from the contest included most of these requirements already, she just needed to add a few additional features such as solar farms and advanced water filtration systems.
There was also a detailed sketch of a micro laboratory that would need to be included in the bunker.
"Some of these systems are fairly technical, and we already got our engineers and researchers to come up with design documents for the more advanced systems. These will be sent to your computer, for you to reference", explained Noah.
Rayne returned to her office and quickly got to work. She pulled out her design from the contest to use as a reference, and started from scratch on a new blueprint.
-------------
While Rayne was busy working, Noah went to Julian's office to give a status update.
"Boss, the contest went smoothly and I have already sorted out the winners for their respective projects. Here are copies of the winners' designs.
Second and third place was Ella Soto and Fabiano. While the first place winner might surprise you! It's Dr. Weston's daughter, Rayne Weston!", said Noah.
Julian raised his eyebrow, hearing Raynes name.
Julian continued to study the design with interest. Seems like Dr. Weston's daughter is as brilliant as her father.
