"What's so good with Rose? How did our Mr Strakovski fall for her?"
"Exactly! She's not even as good-looking as Reese, right? The CEO's taste... tsk tsk, it's disappointing!"
Rose had initially wanted to take a look at Reese's design drafts, offer ssuggestions, and then find Lukas.
However, just after she finished reviewing the designs, she received a call from Martins.
"Oh, Mr. Strakovski wants to see me? Perfect! I'm at Strakovski Jewelry Design Department!"
"Yes, yes. I'm discussing a custom jewelry order with Miss Roberts!"
"You're pickingup? Great, I'll wait for you at the design department!"
Rose hung up the phone, her face blushing, "Mr. Strakovski seems really eager. He can't wait to see me!"
Anika playfully teased, "Well, it's because you're so charming. You've captured Mr Strakovski's heart, and he
can't stop thinking about you!"

Rose blushed even more at the comment.
Reese's face stiffened, and she couldn't find words to say.
Anika snorted with an air of superiority, "Miss Roberts, see? What | said earlier was true. | knew it. Mr Strakovski
is completely devoted to Rose. | told you to be nicer tobefore, but you didn't listen!"
Reese ignored Anika's boastful provocation and looked expressionlessly at Rose, "Miss Gibbs, do you have any
further requirements for the design?"
Rose quickly shook her head with a smile, "No, just send the design drafts for customization directly!"
Reese nodded.
Anika, still unsatisfied, huffed, "Rose, you have quite the status now. You're not even helping me. Look at how
she's bullying me!"
Rose seemed helpless, "Anika, let's keep a low profile. Mr. Strakovski doesn't wantto attract too much
attention. | don't want to anger him either."
Only then did Anika pout and give a magnanimous look at Reese, "Fine, | won't hold you responsible for my sake,
considering Rose's kindness."
Reese lowered her head to examine the design drafts, a sardonic smile tugging at her lips.
Hold her responsible? Had she done anything wrong?
She was growing utterly fed up with Anika.
Anika was about to say more when they heard a knock at the door.
She immediately raised her voice, "Cin!"
Martins entered, his gaze complex as he glanced at Reese. He politely spoke, "Miss Gibbs, please cwith me
upstairs."

Rose shyly nodded, "Anika, wait here for me. I'm going to see Mr. Strakovski!"
Anika winked and said playfully, "Go ahead, I'm not in a hurry. | can wait for you all day."
Rose's face turned even redder.
Reese's expression remained unchanged.
Rose followed Martins out. This seemed to further confirm Rose's relationship
with Lukas, and the design department buzzed with gossip.
As Rose left, Anika's true nature emerged. She looked down on Reese with arrogance, "Rose might be easy to
talk to, but that doesn't mean | am. If I'm not satisfied with my design drafts, they must be revised!"
When it cto design drafts, Reese rarely lost her temper, no matter how difficult the client.
She calmly nodded, "Miss Styles, please tellyour requirements!"
Anika sat there, looking like an all-knowing sage, listing off a whole set of demands.
