Alison denied it. “That’s not it

She apologized again and bowed to Gina. “Miss Miller, I’ve been in a bad mood lately, and I’m sorry for offending you.”

Although she wanted to stand firm and declare that she just looked down on those who got ahead through connections, reality didn’t allow it. She had worked extremely hard and devoted a lot of effort and blood to get to her current position as a director.

Alison didn’t want to jeopardize everything she had gained in six years by offending someone with connections.

Thinking of this, Alison couldn’t help but laugh at herself. Being born into the right family was really a technical skill. She had to work tirelessly for six years to become a director, while this exclusive designer was probably the daughter of some Quaria shareholder. Judging by Michael’s attitude toward her, perhaps they were childhood sweethearts with a particularly good relationship.

To say she wasn’t envious was a lic

She took a deep breath and asked Gina, “Miss Miller, is there anything I can do to make it up to you?”

Everyone’s gaze fell on Gina.

They thought Alison was done for this time, having offended this influential exclusive designer, and her position as director was probably not secure.

Even if she wasn’t fired, she wouldn’t have a good time at Quaria in the future.

Gina said indifferently, “You don’t have to do anything. I accept your apology. Everyone, you don’t need to continue welcoming me. Let’s get to work. Oh, and please prepare the design concept and drafts for the new products for the next quarter. Let’s have a small meeting in half an hour.”

She looked at Alison. “Is that okay?”

Alison was stunned. She couldn’t believe that Cina didn’t take advantage of her privileges to embarrass her. She regained her composure. “Yes, it’s okay.”

Zelda was also confused and wondered, ‘No, isn’t this woman crazy? Shouldn’t she give Alison a severe warning and let the people in the design department know that from now on, the leader of the design department has changed? And warning everyone to be polite to her?”

Perhaps because Gina was Michael’s mistress, she knew that if she acted arrogantly and was too domineering, she would be in serious trouble if Michael’s wife found out.

Zelda thought today she could see Alison in big trouble, but unfortunately, Gina was a coward who couldn’t be supported She was too weak. It was really boring.

Zelda secretly rolled her eyes.

Michael wanted to accompany Gina, but he had a lot of things to do. “Gina, I’m going to work now. Call me anytime if you need anything

“Okay Gina nodded.

Gina glanced at Zelda, who immediately put on a different face, smiling broadly as she said, “Miss Miller, you carry on with your work. I’ve got to get back to my own work too: Good luck!”

Zelda spread her artas, seemingly wanting to give Cana a farewell hug, but Gina declined. “I’m sorry, I don’t like to have too

much physical contact with people I’m not very familiar with.”

Zelda was taken aback, pretending not to be bothered as she forced a smile. “Okay, I understand. Bye.

As soon as she turned around, Zelda’s expression changed. She thought to herself, This b*tch is probably intentionally Trying to embarrass me in front of all these people. D*mn it!”

Half an hour later, the design department meeting began.

Cina looked over the design drafts by the main designer responsible for the new product series.

“The creativity is all very good. I’d like to hear more about the design ideas for the new products.

“Love and beauty are themes that jewelry cannot be separated from, and coincidentally, the date for the next new product release is around Valentine’s Day, so the design concept is also centered around love…”

Gina looked thoughtful. “I have no objection to centering around love, but I think the theme of love should not be limited to romantic love.”

“You mean, you want us to expand our thinking to include friendship, family, and such?” Alison asked.

Gina nodded. “I hope everyone can design the new products around the theme of love without blood relations. In this world, the love from people without blood relations to you is like a gift from heaven.

“Such love is as pure and clear as a diamond…

Alison looked at Gina, feeling as if she was reminiscing about someone.

Gina paused. “Expanding around this theme, is that okay with everyone?”

“Okay”

Everyone nodded. The exclusive designer was introduced by Michael himself. How could they dare to have any objections?

But Alison still felt uncomfortable. “Miss Miller, I think this theme is not just your understanding of expanding the concept of love, but rather, you want to use Quaria’s next quarter’s new products to commemorate someone, right?”

Everyone held their breath as they looked at Alison.

She was really daring to say that.

Wasn’t she afraid of offending Gina even more than she already had?

Why invite trouble for herself?

“Yes,” Cina nodded.

Alison showed some dissatisfaction. “Miss Miller, as the exclusive designer, are you expecting all of us to serve your personal desires? Who are you trying to declare your love to, to commemorate this person who has established some kind of love relationship with you?”

The love of family,” Gina replied..

“She has passed away. You’re right. I have personal motives, and as an exclusive designer, I will only participate in the design of the next season’s new products. After that, I will not be involved in new product design. I hope everyone can help me fulfill this wish,” Gina said.

Alison thought Gina would arrogantly retort to her. After all, she had the capital to do so.

Unexpectedly, Gina was quite candid despite her privileges….

Alison’s feelings were mixed.

“No problem,” the crowd responded.

The meeting continued for another 15 minutes before it ended.

Alison was in the break room making collec.

A subordinate approached. “Miss Hammond, you were really hold today, repeatedly contradicting Miss Miller. Aren’t you afraid of being retaliated against?”

The deep meaning was to be careful her director position might not be secure.

Alison sighed. She was also worried about losing her job. Tll hold back in the future.

The subordinate laughed. “Hey, Miss Hammond, I know you can’t stand this kind of relationship-based favoritism, but sometimes we have to bow to reality, right?”

“I heard that Gina might be Mr. Clark’s mistress, or perhaps a mistress of some other shareholder.”

Alison frowned. “Can’t she just be a shareholder’s daughter? Why do you all think she is a mistress?”

The subordinate was taken aback. “Ah, I know. But I heard others say

v so.

“Don’t spread rumors. Such defamatory remarks without any solid evidence could get you sued for slander”

The subordinate quickly nodded. “Okay.”

Outside the break room, Gina heard their conversation clearly.

Alison and her subordinate stopped speculating about Gina’s identity and switched to discussing work topics.

During lunchtime, Gina didn’t accept Gabriel’s invitation to dine at the Grand Restaurant in Oriata City, nor did she agree to

have a specially invited chef abroad cook for her. Instead, she chose to eat in Quaria’s staff canteen.

“Miss Miller!” Zelda was surprised to see Gina in the canteen.
