Reese listened quietly, occasionally adding notes to her notes.
When Anika finished speaking, she looked up and said, "Miss Styles, if the client selects their own designer and
requests design revisions three or more times, additional fees will apply. This is stipulated in our contract."
Anika didn't have extra money for this.
Her eyes widened, her voice sharp and thin, "What did you say? We have to pay more?"
Reese nodded expressionlessly, "Yes, this is the final revision. | hope you can provide clear instructions and avoid
being too vague."
Anika quickly took the design draft and examined it carefully.
In truth, she was quite satisfied with Reese's design, she just wanted to showcase
her identity as the boss's friend and make her work more difficult.
She thought for a moment, "Then... let's go with this design, no need for further changes!"
Reese gave a cold smile and nodded, "Alright, I'll get back to work then."

Once Reese left, Anika belatedly realized that she had seen through her intentions all along. She had been
played.
She felt a surge of anger but decided to hold off on confronting her.
She thought it might be better to wait until Rose and Lukas' relationship was confirmed before making her move.
She had grand plans in mind. Perhaps she could even manipulate Rose into influencing Reese. After all, she
couldn't stand Reese Roberts - just a designer, yet so good-looking and alluring. Really soliciting jealousy and
envy.
Reese had no clue about these strange thoughts of hers.
She remained expressionless, keeping her true thoughts hidden from everyone. From her initial anger to her
current belief, nobody knew what she had been through.
Love wasn't like a faucet that could be turned on and off at will.
She should remind herself that she mustn't have any improper thoughts about Lukas. She didn't even know
when the faucet of her emotions had been turned on. When she felt uncomfortable upon hearing rumors about
Lukas and others, she realized she couldn't help her feelings to blossomed.
Reese chuckled at herself. She was indeed foolish. Lukas had warned her not to harbor any feelings for him.
She knew deep down that she had fallen into a pit, albeit unconsciously.
In the end, she could only blherself.
CEO's office.
As Martins left, Rose immediately widened her eyes, adopting an innocent look with teary eyes. She looked pitiful
as she explained, "Mr. Strakovski, | really didn't expect those photos from last night. I'm truly sorry. The main
reason | ctoday was to explain this to you. Please don't be angry. | really didn't try to establish a relationship
with you. | apologize!"
She quickly bent over and bowed, adopting a helpless and pitiable demeanor.
Lukas felt annoyed and impatient. He waved his hand dismissively, frowning at her, "You don't need to act like
this. | asked you to chere for just two reasons."
Rose widened her eyes and adopted an innocent and charming expression, "What reasons?"
If it were any other man, they might have been moved by her appearance.

Unfortunately, Lukas Strakovski was only interested in the stone-like Reese Roberts; he couldn't be swayed by
other women.
He spoke in a deep voice, "Clearly explain the rumors between us to the public. If you accomplish that, I'll give
you the endorsement for Strakovski's Jewelry this quarter!"
Rose was instantly shocked and delighted. For a moment, even her facial expression couldn't hide her
excitement, "Really?"
You see, getting an endorsement from Strakovski's Jewelry would greatly elevate her status. How could she not
be excited?
Lukas glanced at her with indifference, "You should find a mirror and see your greedy expression!"
Rose's joy froze on her face.
Lukas sneered, his lips curling, "What's wrong? Can't handle it? If you're unwilling
to accept my terms, you can leave now!"
Rose expression changed, and she hurriedly shook her head, "No, | agree!"
