Silence descended in the room as Brian continued to stare at the smiling woman on the file. Slowly, his
lips stretched to a wild smile.
The following day was a Monday.
Rosalynn got up early and proceeded with her morning rituals. Then she took a taxi to work.
Her car had to be taken for repairs, so she could only use public commute for now.
She got out of the taxi at a bustling commercial area, and made a beeline for S.W. Studio.

decor design.
However, Rosalynn had never revealed her identity to the public. Nobody knew that she was
Rose, an up-and-coming designer who was making a name for herself on the international scene.
She was still a student two years ago, so her senior, Keegan Duffy, took charge of the business of their
studio.
Now, Rosalynn was just half a year away from graduation. She decided it would be in her best interests
to come to the studio for her internship. ©
Still, she didn’t want to run into any unnecessary trouble, so she maintained her identity a secret and
went for an assistant designer position.
“Have you seen the news on the company’s official website? Our studio has been recently acquired by
Hughes Group.”
“Yes, | just saw it! It’s all so sudden, isn’t it?”

“Right? But | mean, it is Hughes Group. It’s like the largest conglomerate in the city. I’m sure our salary
will improve after the acquisition.”
“Eh, | don’t care about any of that. My only concern is the fact that Brian Hughes is visiting today!”
Most of the female staff were tittering among themselves in one corner.
Rosalynn stopped in her tracks, shocked by what she had just heard.
S.W. Studio had been acquired? And by Hughes Group, no less?
When the hell had that happened?
How come she was never notified?
As if on cue, a commotion broke out at the entrance.
Brian strode into the building, flanked by a number of bodyguards on both sides.
