0825.
He no longer wanted to see this string of numbers all the time, nor did he want to think about that person anymore!
Since he was starting anew, he needed to completely let go of the past.
Even if he encountered Rosalind again in the future, he must not hesitate, absolutely not.
…
Rosalind finished up the necessary documents for the company, then grabbed a quick bite to eat. Just as she drove back to the hotel where she was staying during her business trip, she received a call from Mr. Wong.
“I’ll have the designer contact you shortly.”
“Have her come directly to my hotel,” Rosalind paused for a moment, “You didn’t scold her, did you?”
“No, as per your instructions, I didn’t let her notice anything. I had another female employee who is quite close to her find out about it.”
“That’s good.”
Mr. Wong chuckled a few times, “If you can resolve this stubborn issue for me, you’ll be doing me a huge favor! I really need to thank you; it’s been a major headache for me.”
“No need to be so polite. I’m just doing my job. If the resort project doesn’t succeed, I won’t earn my bonus either.”
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Mr. Wong and hanging up the phone, it wasn’t long before the doorbell rang outside the hotel.
Rosalind walked over and opened the door to find a petite young woman standing there.
She was wearing a white dress and had a very youthful face.
“Hello, are you Miss Ruell?”
“Yes, I am. Come in,” Rosalind smiled and stepped aside to let her in.
The young woman hesitated for a moment before nodding and walking in.
Just from that one look, Rosalind accurately captured her hesitation!
She guessed that this designer somewhat understood why she had been summoned but still held onto a sliver of hope since Rosalind hadn’t explicitly mentioned it yet.
Rosalind had encountered many young people who were new to the workforce and desperately needed money.
“What’s your name?” Rosalind poured her a glass of water and handed it over.
“Elsie.” The young woman took the water, her entire demeanor radiating unease.
“Don’t be nervous. Although leaking the design plans has caused some impact on the company, the fact that I’m willing to talk to you alone means I’m giving you a chance to make amends.”
Rosalind didn’t want to waste time and decided to get straight to the point.
There was no fun in toying with a newcomer.
Upon hearing this, Elsie’s heart sank immediately. She quickly said, “I’m sorry, truly sorry! I regret it, but… but I don’t know how to make things right!”
“You asked for a million directly. I think such a large amount means you wouldn’t regret it; you might even feel smug after doing it,” Rosalind exposed her lie because resolving this issue required swift action and overwhelming her with authority, “If you regret anything, it’s probably only after you realized you’d been caught.”
“…”
“Think carefully. I don’t want to waste my time on someone who can’t be honest with me! If you’ve decided to play games with me, you can leave now. The company will proceed with legal action against you, demanding that you bear responsibility and pay damages.”
After just a few sentences, Elsie’s face turned pale.
She couldn’t even think about drinking the water in her hand!
“No, no, no! I’m absolutely sincere! Miss Ruell, please help me; give me a chance to make things right! I was momentarily blinded by greed and did something terrible.”
She was almost ready to kneel before Rosalind!
Of course, this was exactly what Rosalind wanted.
She was no longer the assistant she once was at Prosperity Holdings. The current Rosalind had enough authority and decisive methods to command respect.
