Everyone present was surprised by Skyler’s words.Camilla was the first to react. She pulled at his arm and said softly, “Skyler, that’s not fair. After all, you two… Now you’re asking her to design our wedding ring, it’s too cruel to Miss Sanders.”Skyler did not even look at her. His gaze was locked onto Estelle.Was she here for an interview today?Why the hell was she dressed like this?He had seen this dress six years ago. Was this not the girl who would buy a three-million diamond ring just because she wanted it? How had she arrived in this state, where she could not even afford clothes?Also, he remembered clearly that Estelle had no problems with her eyesight.If that was the case, why was she wearing a pair of hideous black-rimmed glasses?Skyler suddenly thought it was funny. She yelled at him through the phone and wanted to divorce because of other men. What about now? She was here for an interview with her battered and old clothes?The manager was appalled, thinkin
The pen in Estelle’s hand paused.Oh yes, the lady at the front desk reminded her that they had come many times, and each time they were dissatisfied. The only jewelry company fired several designers due to this, that was why they were recruiting her.She calmed herself and settled her anger. She turned and looked at the manager, her voice neither humble nor overbearing. “Manager, could you please show me the comments and requirements raised by Director Flynn and Miss Gionni before?”The manager glanced up at Skyler for a moment and saw that his head was low as if thinking about something, not commenting. The manager then turned on the laptop, pulled out the records, and showed it to her. “Ah, here they are. Look quickly, and don’t let the customers wait for too long. We here at The Only Jewel are known for our customer service. The customer is our lord, and every minute, every second of their time is precious.”Estelle was not listening to him, and attentively looking at the docum
Skyler froze.He never thought that Estelle would have such a huge reaction.“... Skyler, things have come down to this between us, and you have found your true love. So why bother?”Skyler inhaled deeply. “Bother with what?”“Why bother causing me unhappiness, and also causing yourself unhappiness?” Estelle said, “I don’t care who you marry, I don’t have the right to ask. But I can’t have such a vicious scheming person becoming my daughter’s stepmother. I will surely take back her custody.”Skyler said with contempt, “Just because you say so? Do you believe it when I say, not a single company in H City will dare to hire you?“I believe it,” Estelle said, “but for my daughter, no matter what hardships, I will fight, even if it costs me my life.”The sudden quarrel between the two attracted the attention of many company employees.This was the conference room, and it was situated at the center of the entire company. Also, the four walls were made of transparent glass, and what t
“Camilla Gionni, I said this before. I will take back everything that you owe me. My son’s illness, my mother’s body, my father’s life, as well as Aunt Frances! Don’t even dream of running away from a single one!”Camilla bit her lip, and hurriedly pulled on Skyler’s sleeve. On the verge of crying, she said, “Skyler, you heard what she said… I really didn’t… how could she accuse me of such a thing?”Again with the lovey-dovey acting.Again with showing weakness.Estelle felt nauseated just looking at her.Fine, maybe this was Skyler’s cup of tea,She thought back about the time she spent with Skyler. Even during their most loving times, she never acted lovey-dovey. Everyone said that lovey-dovey women had good lives. Perhaps she was born to never be lovey-dovey, so her life was destined to be bad. Camilla was a living example. As for herself, she was more like a cautionary tale.However, Skyler did not protect her and certainly did not go against Estelle as she had expected.
The blood on Camilla’s face drained completely.“Skyler, you knew all along, didn't you?”Skyler exhaustedly slumped onto the sofa, and closed his eyes. “Is the time I found out still important?”“At least…” Camilla was tripping over her words. “At least you’re still willing to marry me after you found out, right?”Skyler laughed bitterly.Marry?In the past, he wanted to, very much. However, now, with the recent chain of events, he gradually gave up the idea of getting married.“Camilla, I said it before, what I hate most are people who lie to me.”“Skyler, I can explain. I didn’t do it on purpose, it was an accident-”Skyler interrupted. “Accidentally went to the top floor of the mansion, accidentally quarreled with Aunt Frances, accidentally watched her fall from the building, and accidentally blamed it on Estelle?”Camilla gaped, speechless. The manager by the side felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. These kinds of grievances of the wealthy folk are not what h
“Oh, there’s a newcomer here for the designer’s interview,” the manager said, pointing at Estelle, “she is Director Flynn’s…”Before the manager could say the words ‘ex-girlfriend’, the man raised his hand, stopping his next words.He looked at Estelle up and down and was skeptical. “Here for the interview?”“That’s right.” Estelle stood up straight, allowing herself to appear more polite, “Greetings, I am the designer here today for the interview. My name is Estelle Sanders.”The man suddenly laughed coldly. “Designer? If you did not tell me, I would’ve thought you were here to interview for the cleaning lady position.”The manager hurriedly explained. “Director Larson, this designer is Director Flynn’s ex-girlfriend. Director Flynn’s orders are the biggest we’ve ever got in these past years. His orders are leaps and bounds larger than what we used to get! If she can be here, then there is a high chance we can secure Director Flynn’s orders...”“No need,” the man said coldly, “m
Early the next morning, Estelle arrived at The Only Jewel at half-past eight o’clock.She changed her dress, but it was only slightly newer than the day before.It had been six years since she bought any new clothes.She still kept in mind the advice Abigail gave her. Yesterday, Director Larson only disliked her worn-out clothes, but he did not comment on anything else. On the contrary, he agreed to interview her.This showed that Abigail was right. Director Larson was a really weird guy and disliked beautiful women.She kept her black-rimmed glasses and walked through the company’s doors.The counter lady seemed to be informed. The moment she saw Estelle, she brought her up to the same conference room directly and said, “Miss Sanders, Director Larson said that your interview will be conducted here.”“Thank you.” Estelle nodded, opened the door, and walked inside.There were more people in the conference room today. At a glance, there were at least 20 or 30 people. Thomas was
“But.” Estelle changed her voice and continued. “This set of jewelry looks very dazzling, but the style is too old. Also, materials such as turquoise are not suitable for matching with gold. It will have a sense of ostentatiousness and exaggeration that shows off wealth too much. It lowers the image of the owner. In terms of selecting materials, I think it can be slightly modified according to the age and social status of the customer. If the customer is younger, materials like obsidian and Shoushan Stone. Whereas, if they were older, say, our parents’ age, we can choose better-quality jade or emerald.”The conference room was quiet.Thomas frowned. “That’s it?”“There’s more,” Estelle asked, “Director Larson, may I come over to have a closer look?”Thomas was skeptical, but he nodded still.“Thank you.”Estelle walked over, stood in front of the design drawing, biting her lips, and observed the design carefully for a while.She pointed to the pendant of the necklace and said, “
