Who Is Protecting Her
"Yes, we're ready to sign the contract.
"Everyone smiled and eagerly handed over the prepared contract to Rose.
Rose glanced at the contracts and politely asked with a smile, "What to sign?"
A momentary stiffness replaced the smiles on the faces of the crowd.
One person hurriedly approached Rose and said, "Ms. Shaffer, might you have forgotten? We're here to sign our collaboration contract. This time, let's not sign for 2 years but extend it to 10. Within these 10 years, our company will be Celeste Jewels' finest partner."
Rose remained silent as ever. The person felt a sudden panic, recalling the boss's instructions-if he couldn't seal the deal on this contract today, he would have to leave
It wasn't just him, they all had just exchanged brief pleasantries outside Celeste Jewels' company premises a while ago.
Everyone who showed up today got a brutal command from the boss- if the contract wasn't sealed, they were to get lost. As Rose remained silent, someone started to wipe their sweat.
"Ms. Shaffer, is there anything that seems concerning to you? If there's an issue, we'll change it right away, as long as it satisfies you!" someone couldn't sit still and inquired. "Exactly, Ms. Shaffer, we can certainly negotiate the price."
The people present were entirely fixated on finalizing the contract to safeguard their jobs. However, Rose remained silent, and their hearts grew even more restless.
Seeing the scene, William and Sherlyn were both eager to snatch the contracts and sign them themselves
Celeste Jewels' current predicament would be instantly resolved as soon as these partnerships were established.
William couldn't help but remind her, "Ms. Shaffer..."
But before he could finish speaking, Rose looked at him and said politely, "William, could you see our guests off, please?"
After saying that, Rose walked out of the meeting room, leaving everyone there stunned.
It wasn't until her figure faded from view that they came to their senses, eager to follow her outside, but were held back by William. "Wait, Ms. Shaffer, please see if there are any other requests. We can discuss....
"Yes, whatever the request is, we will surely agree."
The meeting room was in chaos, despair evident on everyone's faces. Ms. Shaffer's departure had completely severed their jobs.
It took 10 minutes for William to summon security and finally managed to escort all the business partners
out.
Who is Protecting
The office had finally calmed down, but within merely half an hour, a group of people began arriving, and William identified some as the CEOs of the collaborating companies. "Ms. Shaffer, the CEOS from those companies are here in person. Should we consider...?" William cautiously asked, his eyes slightly puzzled as he looked at Rose.
Rose looked up from behind her computer, surprised to hear that their CEOS had come in person. Yet, she didn't reconsider her previous decision.
"Escort them out, but with a better and favorable attitude," Rose said, shifting her focus back to the
computer screen.
William had been initially astonished, but soon he understood that Ms. Shaffer's decision must have had its reason.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
He asked Rose curiously, "Ms. Shaffer, could you tell me why?"
"There's no particular reason. I just feel their connection with the Youngs is too deep. They previously terminated cooperation with Celeste Jewels due to pressure from someone else. Now, for some unknown reason, they're rushing to collaborate with us again. What if there's another instance of pressure?
Rose replied calmly.
The Youngs now had Kelly, and there had always been friction between Kelly and her. Who knew what Kelly might have done to her in the future?
Therefore, regardless of the reason behind their decision, she won't agree with them to continue collaborating with Celeste Jewels.
F
Rather than potentially being restrained in the future, it was better to completely cut ties. As for Celeste Jewels' current difficulties, Rose believed that it would eventually pass.
"Got it, Ms. Shaffer. I'll take care of the rest!" William grasped and said.
He left the office and politely escorted all the CEOs to the door. As they left, each of them looked pale and seemed to have lost their spirit.
One of the CEOs even fainted right after leaving Century Tower. An ambulance arrived and rushed him to the hospital
The buzz was substantial. It spread to the Young's House of Jewels within an hour. A few well-informed individuals were privately discussing.
"Could it be our Mr. Miles pressuring those companies?"
Rose, the recently appointed Design Director at Young's House of Jewels, had barely spent a few days in the company before disappearing. They managed to gather some information.
They concluded that Rose had fallen out of favor! Therefore, those few companies that had rushed to establish a relationship with Geleste Jewels immediately terminated their contracts with Rose.
But today's sudden reversal was going against the norm. There must be someone exerting pressure in this matter, and apart from Mr. Miles, they didn't make any other speculations.
Everyone in the company knew that Mr. Miles held a special regard for Rose.
Who Is Protecting Her
"It has to be Mr. Miles! Otherwise, who else could it be?"
"I caught wind of it vaguely yesterday, Mr. Miles had his assistant get in touch with those collaborating partners of Celeste Jewels. It's him."
Amidst their chatter, they failed to realize that the Mr. Miles they were discussing had just passed by behind them. Miles returned to the office, looking grim.
He'd barely sat down when Anastasia barged into the office, giving him a cold smile.
"Miles, you're quite the compassionate one. Making such a scene for Rose's sake, aren't you someone will tell Grandpa?"
worried
Anastasia found it utterly ridiculous. She had only leaked the information a few days ago, and before Rose could face any repercussions, Miles couldn't resist playing the hero.
It was so hateful how he had spoiled her plan! Miles lifted his gaze, his eyes chillingly cold as he met Anastasia's. He stayed silent for a while, and suddenly Anastasia felt somewhat uneasy.
"I'm just genuinely concerned about you. I don't want you to anger Grandpa because of this," Anastasia said, avoiding Miles' gaze.
"Oh, concern?"
A trace of a cold smile flashed in Miles' eyes. His sharp gaze seemed capable of seeing through a person's heart with just one glance.
Before Anastasia could retort, he spoke up, "Are you more concerned about me angering Grandpa or angering the person you're trying to impress?"
She felt exposed and wore an unnatural expression on her face.
But she shrugged it off, saying, "Kelly is Grandpa's biological granddaughter. Miles, after being siblings for so many years, I'm just kindly reminding you about Grandpa's current health condition. How long he can endure is still unknown.
"Throughout these years, it's evident how much Grandpa misses and feels remorseful toward Aunt. His level of remorse toward Aunt might be reflected in the affection and bias he exhibits toward! Kelly. Perhaps, in the future of the Young family, she will have a say."
Anastasia stared intensely at Miles, unwavering for a moment, as if trying to discern something from his expression. However, Miles only smiled lightly, seemingly unconcerned by what she mentioned. She couldn't interpret the meaning behind his smile.
"Miles..." Anastasia spoke again.
But this time, Miles coldly spat out a word before she could say anything.
