Annie raised her eyebrows, looking at Joseph, and said, “But I heard that you and Maggie are not on good.
terms.”
Joseph found himself a little taken aback by her candour and burst out laughing, “How could that be? We’re a family, after all. Blood is thicker than water.
“Always agree to disagree is what best describes me and Maggie. We are happy to see that she shares the same interest in jewellery as you did.”
Annie looked at her and asked. “So you’re saying that Maggie has a definite say in Honor Wide?”
But the question left him batlled.
Maggie’s had always been a special presence for them. Ronald Cameron had been wary of her, so she was not holding any position in Honor Wide or any shares.
She indeed has no say.
She did work for the Camerons, but she would never be given a chance to be involved in the company’s operation.
Even letting her do so could get them to sign Annie easily.
“She definitely has a say, but Honor Wide is running on a shareholding cooperative system. Nobody has a definite say on anything
Joseph was trying to sugarcoat the situation. He turned to Maggic and said to her, “Isn’t it right, Maggie?”
Maggie gave him a look and said to Annie, ‘Honor Wide is a suitable platform for you. Though it is a new company, it does have a resourceful team. It’ll be great to get you to join us. We can work together to make it an even more renowned brand.”
Annie didn’t say anything with her words. She was giving it serious thought.
Maggie remained silent. But she knew that Annie wouldn’t agree easily.
The shareholding cooperative system and also the resourceful team that they’ve mentioned would have the downside of her not being able to decide on things independently.
Annie was smart enough to catch on to the tension within the company.
“How is it? Are you interested in joining Mr. Cameron and Ms. Brown to build up Honor Wide?” Maggie asked.
Annie was a passionate designer, but she was not a person full of ambition and desires.
Or else she wouldn’t settle for running a small studio on her own. Even so, she was still able to work with quite a number of famous brands every year.
But she would lose all the chances once she was signed to Honor Wide.
Maggie turned to Joseph/saying. “Do you have the contract ready? Let’s talk about the terms with Ms.

Joseph responded to her with a nod and took out a contract that had been drafted out.
Annie had a rough look at the contract. Maggie, who was sitting next to her too, was able to glance through it. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
The Camerons were only offering money and positions. From what was drafted out, she would have a say among the designers, but not so in the marketing and management tier.
If her design was not sought after or the management tier was not happy about it, she would be left with nothing to do but just accept and swallow it.
The Camerons had also laid down two proposals. The first one was an exclusive contract with the Camerons. The other one was that Annie could still work with other brands while working for them. All she needed to do was meet the sales target they’d set.
Though it was a contract drafted with sincerity, it was not alluring enough for a passionate designer.
Tm sorry, Maggie and Mr. Cameron. I don’t think this is a place for me. It was such a lucrative term, but I don’t work in such an environment. We don’t share the same idea.”
Annie got up after rejecting the offer, showing no intention of continuing the conversation.
“Oh, Maggie. I love your idea. It had given me so much inspiration. You really are my muse. I had prepared a gift as a sign of thanks. Don’t say no to it.”
Annie smiled at Maggie as she was talking to her. She was only sparing Joseph some of her time because of Maggie.
She had Emily get the gift ready.
Emily came up with a blue velvet jewellery box. Annie opened it up and handed it over to Maggie.
It was pigeon blood ruby jewelry. There was a double–layered diamond necklace. And it was decorated with a pigeon blood–red ruby as the pendant. It was so elegant, and the size and pigment of the ruby were so dazzling-
“I know you don’t prefer the exaggerated designs. I think this one is simple and classy. It suits you. I hope you like it.” Annie said it cheerfully.
Maggie was left speechless.

Apparently, they didn’t share the same definition of ‘exaggerated. But Ruby was always an eye–catcher.
But Annie was right. The necklace was something that could be worn every day compared to the other designs she had ever seen.
It was indeed a tone–down design,
The bracelet was made of gold and decorated with a ruby and some diamonds.
The earrings and ring, too, shared the same designs.
Though the design of the jewelry looked simple, Maggie knew that the price would be at least around seven hundred thousand dollars, judging by how much ruby is used.

Chapter 135 Regret
“Thank you. I love it.” Maggie took it in. She planned to get Annie a set of jewellery with her own designs
[00.
Vanessa was filled with jealousy upon seeing the scene.
It was such expensive jewellery, and she was giving it out just like that. And it was given to Maggie Adam.
Annie gave Maggie a hug before leaving her, saying, “We’ll talk soon. I have an event that I have to run to,”
Both Jospeh and Vanessa were obviously unhappy after Annie left.
Vanessa looked at Maggie and asked, “Maggie, you already knew that those in displays are defects?”
Maggie chuckled. “How would I know?”
Vanessa was lost for words in her response. It didn’t matter whether she knew it or not, because they didn’t have proof for it.
“Maggie, you are so close to Annie. You should try to convince her. Joseph said. He was not expecting the offer to be rejected. He was definitely bummed up.
Maggie smirked. “How should I convince her? By buying all the defects from the displays? I tried to talk to
before, but none of you listened to me. And I am to be blamed now?”
you
Joseph wanted to argue, but he recalled the times when Maggie was talking about the jewellery.
He glanced at Vannessa, who was sitting next to him, and was suddenly filled with regret and bitterness.
It was indeed his mistake. He shouldn’t have listened to Vanessa. What could a woman from a poor family know? What was she compared to Maggie?
