Let Me Stay The Night

Not receiving any response from Christina even after waiting for a long while, Victoria shifted her gaze and followed Christina’s line of sight to an empty corner. She asked curiously, “Christina, what are you looking at?”

A hint of coldness flitted across Christina’s eyes as she withdrew her gaze. “Nothing. Didn’t you say you wanted to survey jewelry? Let’s go now.”

“Okay. I’ve already made an appointment with the jewelry designer. I guarantee you won’t regret tagging along this time.”

Victoria was exhilarated at the mention of jewelry. She dragged Christina out of the restaurant.

When Christina met the jewelry designer in person, she finally fathomed what Victoria meant when she said their meeting with the designer would be worthwhile.

The jewelry designer Victoria hired was called Hera. Despite her young age, she was well–known internationally and only took on private custom orders from high–end customers. She only accepted two orders per year. Although she was rumored to be eccentric, that didn’t affect her career progression or esteemed reputation.

As soon as Victoria and Hera met, they greeted each other warmly with a cheek kiss.

Victoria introduced, “Hera, let me introduce you to my senior, Christina. She has her own clothing brand and studio. She’ll be my boss after some time.”

Hera, possessing Epean and Adrunian bloodline, bored her gray–blue eyes into Christina’s. She stretched out her hand and said, “Hello, my name is Hera. I’m a jewelry designer. Victoria and I are university classmates. I often heard her talk about you.”

Christina shook hands with Hera and smiled faintly. “I’ve heard much about you, Ms. Hera. Thanks to Victoria, I have the pleasure of meeting you in person today. I truly didn’t come for nothing this time.”

Hera responded with a courteous smile. Those flattering compliments circulate mainly because of how supportive others are.”“
