"Mr. Edgar."
The real bloke Loraine had in mind was Edgar. His jewellery brand wasn't just top in the country. It was also one of the world's top ten.
Mr. Edgar had put A country's jewellery on the global map, breaking the foreign monopoly. He had hailed as the founding father of A country's jewellery industry.
Gloria, catching Loraine's drift, shook her head, showing she couldn't help, "You know, Mr. Edgar isn't big on dinner parties."
Loraine was a tad disappointed, "Alright then."
After hanging around the Crawley family for about an hour, Gloria lent Loraine a set of her precious jewels. Gloria's reputation in the jewellery world was no secret, and her jewels were worth a pretty penny. Even the worldly Loraine was gobsmacked.
Loraine took the jewellery box with care, thanked her, and left with the jewels.
Gloria watched her go, then headed back inside.
Once Loraine was gone, she chuckled and put the jewellery box down, "This Mr. Edgar from the Crawley family is a tough nut to crack, I couldn't even get him to come when I showed up personally."
Her assistant asked, "Ms. Field, what should we do?"
They had announced that they would invite VIPs to the fifth-anniversary celebration, and Mr. Edgar was the top pick.
"No worries, didn't I tell you to rent a set of jewels from the market? We’ll display it during the event. It's part of Mr. Edgar’s collection." Loraine said.
"Are you sure?" The assistant asked.
They had to shell out big bucks to get that collection. If it got damaged, wouldn't that be a loss?
"Relax, just be careful then." Loraine said.
Loraine and Gloria had hashed it out, and Gloria would attend the fifth-anniversary celebration. With the help of the jewels, this celebration would definitely help her shake off all the negative image. As for Brittany, she must have gotten a taste of her methods and will likely steer clear.
News of Loraine's fifth-anniversary celebration sparked a lively discussion in just a few hours.
Controversy was rife.
"Heard that Loraine's invited a top domestic jewellery designer to the celebration, could it be Mr. Edgar?"
"Highly probable, the Field family and the Crawley family are tight."
After about half an hour, Tina took the design drafts, "Ms. Dustin, I'll tweak it a bit according to your requirements, then send it straight to the client."
"Alright." Brittany said.
Brittany rubbed her temples, and the next second, a man's voice rang out, "Didn't we agree to clock out at six sharp?"
Tina heard the voice and immediately perked up. He was here! Ms. Dustin's husband was here. She could finally see how handsome he was!
"Zakky, how come you're here?" Brittany said.
Brittany was caught working overtime and felt a bit embarrassed. She quickly packed up, "I'm about to clock out."
The moment Tina got a clear look at the man's face, the files in her hands slipped and fell to the ground, but she didn't pick them up.
Her eyes shook violently, and she stuttered.
Just as Tina was about to speak, the man looked coldly at her, “Bri, who’s this?”
