Although Rosalind was designated as the chief designer in the company directly, she was a woman of honor in the history of J&Q Barney Jewelry. It was fair to say that anyone working in Barney Jewelry knew who Rosalind was. Therefore, people in the design department welcomed her warmly. Also, the General Director valued her talent and treated her nicely. After all the designers introduced themselves, the director smiled and extended his hand to Rosalind. "Finally, I have the opportunity to introduce myself. Miss Rosalind, I am Justin Dillon, and I am honored to have the opportunity to work with you." "I feel the same, Mr. Dillon." After a simple greeting, Rosalind devoted herself to her busy work. At the same time, Susie, who had just returned to the Philip family to explain the reason to Hilary, was being scolded by Hilary while he pointed at her nose. "Susie Field, are you out of your mind or something? Why did you spend 30 million dollars on a neckless for charity? Did I get all the money without effort?" Hilary had been busy transforming his company recently because the jewelry industry was no longer enough for him. He had shifted his aim to real estate, and he needed money the most recently. At such a critical juncture, Susie took the liberty to waste 30 million dollars in one morning! If Susie was making the necklace to wear, he could sell it afterward, but the necklace was for charity! Even if the necklace was worth much more than the cost, he wouldn't get a penny back by then. Hilary took a deep breath to restrain himself from not beating Susie. Although the Field family was not as powerful as the Philip family was, the Field family had its connections in the city for years, so Hilary didn't dare offend them directly. "Forget it. Now go and customize another necklace for charity and save this one to sell." Susie's voice steeped in sharpness. "No!" If Rosalind knew about it, Susie would be taken as a fool who pretended to be generous! Hilary looked at her coldly. "If you do not agree, find your own way to pay the final payment. I can only give you a budget of 5 million dollars. Pay the rest by yourself." "Hilary, honey, how can I have so much money? Don't be angry. I promise not to do it again!" Susie bore her grievances and circled Hilary's arm as she acted coquettishly. Her red lips rubbed against Hilary's cheek illegibly, and her tone sounded so seductive. Hilary, however, had been used to her tricks in the past five years after they got married. Even if Susie leaned against Hilary's chest with her breasts, she failed to trigger Hilary. Despite this, Hilary wasn't as serious as before, saying, "Susie, it's not the right time to do this right now. If you really want the necklace, let me make it up for you after I get the land, okay?" Now that Hilary had said so, Susie knew she could reverse the whole thing. But how could she accept embarrassing herself in this way! It's all your fault, Rosalind! You are the reason why I have fallen into a dilemma! ... Right after Rosalind came out of the company, she saw Elroy standing at the roadside waving at her. The bright smile on his face easily faded her fatigue. She first hurried up to her son and kissed him with force before she hugged her best friend, Sylvia Benson. "Sylvia, I miss you so much." Rosalind and Sylvia met four years ago in Yarim. At that time, Rosalind had just given birth to Elroy. She had to study, take care of the baby, and earn as much money as she could. She really wished she could make every second count, and Sylvia offered help at that time. "Why didn't you come back earlier if you really missed me? You naughty girl." Sylvia hugged her back, wiped her tears on Rosalind's shoulder, and then poked her head gently, pretending to be angry. Rosalind didn't mind, holding Elroy with one hand and holding Sylvia's hand with the other, walking toward the garage. "Now you are blaming me. Tell me, who was the one leaving us without saying goodbye?" In the last year, when Rosalind was busy studying design, Sylvia left without saying goodbye. Rosalind tried every possible way but failed to reach her. It wasn't until last year that they were in touch again. Sylvia's eyes dimmed slightly. "There was an incident, and I had to come back." "... What exactly happened?" Before returning home, they had almost contacted each other every day, but Sylvia always remained silent when Rosalind asked the question. She also refused to share the secret no matter how much Rosalind had said to her. Sylvia paused before she continued, "It's nothing. My parents happened to have adopted an unfilial bastard. She said it simply, but her eyes turned red unconsciously. Elroy hurried to lean over and wipe her tears with his little hands, saying, "Don't cry, Auntie Sylvia. I'll make you happy again, okay?" Sylvia's depression was eased when the little hands reached for her. She hurried to take Elroy from Rosalind's arms, saying, "Absolutely. Give me a kiss, and I won't cry." Elroy immediately held Sylvia's face and kissed her cheeks. Sylvia had tears in her eyes, sighing, "Every time I meet Elroy, I can't help thinking that you have made the right choice. No matter what setbacks you have met, it's worth it as long as he is by your side." Rosalind knew Sylvia didn't want to continue the previous topic, so she said helplessly, "I can take it if you don't want to talk about it. Just don't forget that I will always back you up." Sylvia lowered her head for a while before answering in a low voice. "Me, too! I'll back you up. When I grow up, I'll protect Mommy and Auntie!" The tense atmosphere was lively after Elroy said so. Rosalind and Sylvia smiled at each other and didn't mention the previous topics anymore. The three of them got into the car, talking and laughing on the way to the scheduled restaurant. Rosalind drove while casually asking, "How is your work? Is it still going well?" Rosalind asked casually, but she didn't expect Sylvia to be in low spirits when mentioning this. "Well, good for now, but it will be miserable soon." "What's wrong?" Sylvia dropped her head in depression. "The director of the head office went mad and transferred the president's son to work lead our company. He'll be in charge in three days." Rosalind couldn't help feeling amused to see how Sylvia feared the man. "Hey, don't you laugh!" Sylvia waved her arms in an exaggerated manner, saying seriously, "Don't you know the son of the president of the New Kingdom? It's a great white shark in the business field! When he was in Farul, his company grew faster than ever. The New Kingdom is a traditional noble brand. He will only make it greater. Rosalind asked in confusion, "Isn't that a good thing?" A capable decision-maker was the most important core of the company. "But do you have any idea how high the mortality rate is in the companies he runs?" Rosalind didn't get how a group could be involved in mortality. Sylvia held up three fingers mysteriously. "That's for a month. And that happened in a subsidiary." Rosalind couldn't help wondering if the company ate people. "Alas, I'm desperate to think of my future life." Sitting in the passenger seat, Sylvia wiped her face in depression. "They all committed suicide because of the intense work and pressure. If the New Kingdom didn't pay their families generously, I'm afraid nobody dares to apply for a job in the company." Even Rosalind couldn't help feeling shocked. "How about... you find another job? By the way, what is his name?" "You don't even know his name?" Sylvia looked at Rosalind as if she was an alien, saying seriously, "Listen carefully. His name is Elvis Collins." Rosalind was speechless. Could she pretend as if she didn't bother to ask?
