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.

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.”
