Chapter 665 Build Him a Path Home
Natalie also noticed Ava standing up.
The two of them paused for a moment, and with a brief exchange of glances, they understood what the other was about to do.
The mental process Natalie went through just now was interesting. She was trembling with fear.
She never expected that all the praise Rose just gave in the office was actually about Olivia.
Additionally, Rose considered Olivia as her sister!
Ah! She was thinking about making a good impression on Rose, trying to win her over and outshine Olivia. But now, how could she compare? She couldn't compare! She just couldn't compare with that.
She could no longer view Olivia as a rival, as Olivia simply wasn't worthy of that status. What she needed to focus on now was changing Olivia's negative impression of her. So, she was going to apologize!
Natalie and Ava went to Olivia's office.
Olivia didn't pay much attention to their arrival and acted as usual. It wasn't until she noticed they weren't discussing work after coming in that she asked, "Is there something going on?"
Olivia noticed the unnatural expressions on their faces. She seemed to have figured out why they were coming to see her.
Before the two could say anything, Olivia spoke up. "If this is about what happened in the pantry earlier, you can relax. I won't cause any trouble for you, whether professionally or personally."
Natalie and Ava were momentarily taken aback.
They were mentally prepared for it and were even willing to apologize to her in public if necessary. This was because they didn't want to lose their job at Young Group.noveldrama
Unexpectedly, before they even had a chance to speak, Olivia beat them to it.
At that moment, the two were surprised and found it hard to believe, especially Natalie.
She was somewhat older and had seen different kinds of people. Her first thought was that Olivia's words were definitely meant to mislead them.
Her feelings toward Olivia went beyond just the mockery in the pantry that day.
Olivia's sudden promotion in the design department from assistant to the design director already made her quite unhappy with this. She also noticed that Harriette treated Olivia poorly, almost like she was a dog.
She didn't take her seriously at all and often refused to cooperate with her at work.
Olivia was then appointed as the design director. She was envious and discontent, and she never accepted Olivia's position.
How could she let it go so easily after what Natalie did to her? She had to be faking it!
"Ms. Lenner, is what you said... true?" Ava, next to her, voiced the question that had been on Natalie's mind.
Ava was cautious, clearly not believing that Olivia would let it go so easily without looking into it further.
Natalie looked at Olivia.
She knew that Olivia's answer would definitely be, "It's true".
Sure enough, Olivia maintained the same expression as before and calmly responded, "It's true."
Natalie carefully observed Olivia, trying to find proof in her expression that she was lying. However, no matter how hard she looked, all she could see in Olivia's eyes was calmness.
It seemed as though she genuinely didn't care at all about their mockery and torment. How was that possible?
"Why?" Natalie asked.
Olivia glanced over, understanding what Natalie meant, and said, "You all are very talented."
Very talented...
"Natalie has been with the design department for a long time. Many of the pieces you've designed for the company have been incredibly successful in the market, and you..."
Olivia looked at Ava and continued, "You are also very talented. You think quickly and know how to innovate. Young's House of Jewels needs you.
"It's not just you two. Every designer that Young's House of Jewels brings in is exceptionally talented and indispensable to them. Compared to the interests of Young Group, my personal feelings are insignificant."
What Olivia meant was that she did it for the benefit of Young Group.
She hadn't even been with Young Group for long, and yet she already felt such a sense of belonging with them?
"All right. You can leave now," Olivia said, redirecting her attention back to her work.
The two of them left the office, but Ava was still puzzled. "Ms. Lenner, is she really that benevolent?"
She put aside personal emotions for the sake of the company-wasn't that being benevolent?
Natalie understood something. "She's not doing it for the company. She's doing it for Ms. Shaffer."
Olivia wasn't doing it for the company. She was doing it for Rose.
It was no wonder Rose saw her as a sister. It was surely because she believed Olivia was worth it.
Natalie glanced at the director's office, and this time, there was no jealousy or defiance in her eyes-only admiration and envy.
...
Rose went to Young's House of Jewels because there were things she needed to do. On her third day at the company, she got to work.
Inside the director's office, Rose touched the ring on her left ring finger. Just moments ago, she had informed Olivia about Jonathan's disappearance.
At that moment, Olivia was feeling extremely conflicted.
It was incredible that Rose trusted her enough to share something so important. She felt a rush of excitement.
The disappearance of the head of Finch Group was such shocking news that, if it got out, it would not only shake up Finch Group but cause a major upheaval across the entire Regalia.
But what she felt most in her heart was pity-she felt sorry for Rose. During this time, how had Rose been doing?
Olivia felt overwhelmed with guilt, blaming herself for not being able to
do more. She wanted to offer
comfort, but despite thinking of countless words, she was afraid of saying something that might inadvertently touch upon a sensitive spot for Rose.
In the end, she could only mutter out, "Mr. Finch will be found."
As she spoke, she felt it sounded somewhat lacking in conviction, so she added, "Mr. Finch will return."
Olivia still thought she sounded unconvinced.
It had been over a month since the day the truth about Harriette was revealed at the villa. If Jonathan were able to return, he should have come back by now.
But Rose smiled at her, and her hope continued to shine with it. "Yes, he will come back. Maybe he just forgot the way home, so I'm going to build a path for him." Olivia felt momentarily blinded by the hope she saw in her eyes.
At that moment, she realized that Rose didn't need her comfort. Rose prbably shared all this with her because she was seeking her help.
"Ms. Rose, what can I do?" Olivia asked excitedly as she approached.
If it was to help Rose, she was willing to do anything.
Rose took the ring off her finger and said, "This ring is one I designed.at was originally part of a set of couple rings During the last national jewelry design competition, there was an unexpected turn of events.
"I thought my design would end up being a lost cause. But at the crucial moment,
he gave me this ring. He completed it himself. For someone like him to do
something like this..."
Rose thought of Jonathan in her mind. Her mind was filled with scenes that were
all dominated by him.
During the time that Jonathan was missing, she realized that she couldn't live without him anymore.
"At that time, I didn't know he was
Mr. Finch. He bought the ring under the name Mr. Finch, but when he gave it to me later, he said it was actually a high-quality replica that he had made.
"If I had been more careful, I could have realized that the red diamond was
actually real. I should have figured out his true identity earlier.
"This ring of mine, on my hand, and his ring..."
Rose took off the necklace from around her neck.
The necklace's pendant featured a men's ring that looked striking.
Olivia looked at it and couldn't help but feel emotional.
She realized that what Rose had mentioned earlier about building a path home for
Jonathan was somehow related to the ring.
