Eliana turned toward the voice that called her name.

Standing in front of her was a tall woman with graceful features and black hair, which was combed high and revealed her full forehead.

She was dressed in slim and professional clothes, which made her look capable and mature.

Who was she? How did she know Eliana’s name?

Eliana was confused.

“Who are you?” she asked.

“Hello, Miss Pierce,” the woman said warmly as she stretched out her hand. “My name is Harriet Stone. I’m the new director of the Design Department at the Moran Group. I saw the pink diamond necklace you designed. I found it to be stunningly beautiful.”

Eliana smiled at the praise and shook Harriet’s hand.

“Really? Thank you for your kind words.”

Harriet’s smile was as bright as the diamonds she worked with. “I’ve always wanted to meet the person capable of designing such exquisite jewelry. It was unfortunate that you had already resigned by the time I joined the company. I didn’t expect that my wish would be granted today.”
