Who Is The Real Boss?

Annabel should have expected this result.

If it was that easy, Rupert would have found Candy years ago.

But why was she so difficult to find? What happened to Candy after she fell off that cliff? Regardless if Candy was alive or dead, there would have been some clues, some evidence that she had existed.

How could she disappear completely like this? Annabel couldn't figure it out, and she had no more leads to follow.She would have to put it aside for the time being.

Over the next few days, Annabel immersed herself in work and soon finished the Ice and Fire shoot.

A press conference would be held a few days later, and the Ice and Fire collection would officially be launched.

Annabel was confident that she could make Ice and Fire instantly popular, thus making Benton Group the leading jeweler in the industry.

But two days before the press conference, an accident happened.

Annabel was at work early that morning, making final preparations for the press conference, when a news alert popped up on her phone and drew her attention.

Love Jewelry was about to launch a new collection with a creative feature: Let Yourself Go.

Let Yourself Go? Annabel clicked to read the main article.

"Love Jewelry, this country's leading jeweler, has hired Marilyn Diaz, a world-famous jewelry designer.This collaboration has produced an incredible new collection, Let Yourself Go, which is set to launch.All of the pieces change color depending on the light they are exposed to, allowing women to express themselves as never before.Imagine showing up to any party and dazzling people with your color- changing gems."

Annabel quickly browsed the rest of the news about the upcoming launch of Let Yourself Go.

The jewelry was similar to her design, and the gems also changed color according to the color of light shone on them.

It was Annabel's idea, and the biggest promotional feature of the Ice and Fire collection.

Unfortunately, the public didn’t know this.

In order to create a sensation, Benton Group had kept the color-changing gems a secret.
