Chapter 925 A Small World After All
Anna already had her own plans.
“Ms. Jones, thank you for your kind thoughts.” Anna was resolute in her reply. “However, my answer remains the same from three years ago. I’m unable to collaborate with Farrington Jewelry.”
Spurned a second time, Olivia felt the anger within her swell. Nonetheless, she maintained an elegant and mesmerizing smile on her face.
“Why are you being so stubborn? You will need a lot of money for the upcoming divorce proceedings and raising your child. Given the amazing talent you have in design, why don’t you want to at least listen to what I’m offering? After all, I’m prepared to give you better terms compared to three years ago.”
Staring at Olivia, Anna, with an icy glint in her eye, dropped her cordial front.
“Ms. Jones, my reason for rejecting you remains the same as it was three years ago. I don’t work with those who only value profit and not loyalty.” Anna continued coldly, “As you have zero understanding of design, you’re unable to comprehend the concept that my design philosophy is trying to express.”
Olivia’s grip on the coffee cup tightened so much that she spilled her drink.
“If you turn me down, who else can you work with?”
“Let me repeat myself; there’s no need for you to be concerned.” Gradually getting to her feet, Anna asserted in a firm yet polite tone. “You’ll have to excuse me, as it’s about time my baby wakes up from her nap. Let me escort you out.”
Given how obvious Anna made it, her hint wasn’t lost on Olivia.
Olivia had assumed that Anna, who was supposedly in dire circumstances, would jump at the helping hand she was extending. In fact, she expected the latter to be filled with gratitude. Instead, she was met by a rejection that was more resolute than three years ago.”
“Since I have brought the partnership agreement with me, I have no intention of bringing it back with me.” Leaving a bunch of documents on the table, Olivia, with a thoughtful gleam in her eye, suggested, “A smart woman like you probably knows that hasty decisions will lead to regrets. Therefore, I hope that you will reconsider the matter thoroughly and get in touch.”
Anna let out a light chuckle. “Take it with you. I don’t need it.”
“You!”
“Ms. Jones, you’re a smart woman yourself.” Anna, too, bared her fangs. “There’s no need to keep persuading me, as you’ll end up embarrassing yourself. I’m sure you understand my decision very well.”
Anna’s rejection couldn’t be anymore clearer.
After struggling with herself, Olivia had no choice but to put the agreement back into her bag before being walked to the door by Anna.
Just when she was about to leave, she ran into the person she least expected to see.
At the sight of Natalie, she uttered, “Why is it you again?”
The exact same question popped into Natalie’s mind.
She was there to pay Anna and her baby a visit and could have never imagined running into Olivia.
Nevertheless, the purpose of Olivia’s visit quickly dawned upon her. She could easily tell that the former was trying to recruit Muse to be her designer.
“Why not? I’m here to see Anna. Am I supposed to get your permission?”
“You!” The rage within Olivia was ignited.
Meanwhile, Anna was elated to see Natalie, which was an extreme contrast to her attitude toward Olivia.
Taking Natalie’s hands, her eyes glistened with joy. “Natalie, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Why did you only come now? Recently, I have a lot of ideas that I would like to show you!”
Olivia gave Natalie a look of shock.
She actually knows Muse! On top of that, Muse is willing to share her ideas with Natalie after outright rejecting me! What the f*ck is going on?
Olivia was so stunned that she couldn’t snap out of her shock.
Pursing her lips, Natalie suggested with a smirk, “Ms. Jones, stop spacing out. You’re in my way.”
