Sensing a frigid gaze upon her, Nancy momentarily froze, her head bowing in
response. Her thoughts appeared to be laid bare, with no refuge to escape from
the scrutiny of someone astute.
Indeed, Marcus epitomized such discerning insight.
Back then, in order to secure her standing, she had been compelled to embark
on her overseas venture.
She had been eagerly waiting for the opportune moment to return ahead of
schedule.
“A few days ago, upon learning of the impending marriage between the Lawrence
and Fairclough families, I expedited my return. I anticipate the wedding jewelry
project will be entrusted to our firm. In my capacity as head designer, I'm
prepared to assume this responsibility.”
Though spoken sincerely, an air of unease hung in the silence that ensued.
With a pen in hand, Marcus lightly tapped it against his desk, allowing the tension
to linger.
Nancy's heart raced, bracing for his response.
After a pause, Marcus finally spoke.
“Proceed downstairs and prepare for the meeting.”
Exiting the room, Nancy touched her forehead, recognizing how narrowly she
had escaped a precarious situation.
Inside the meeting room, the ambiance was taut. Marcus’ expression was
strained, and he projected a stern countenance. The rest of the attendees
averted their gazes, diligently perusing their documents, wary of disrupting the
stillness.
“I have assigned each of you demanding design tasks. I urge you to exert your
utmost efforts.”
Silent glances exchanged among the attendees were redirected towards Nancy,
who wore a confident smile.
“Mr. Thomas, I assure you that I will lead the department in completing these
tasks.”
However, Marcus seemed preoccupied, his attention drifting across the faces
gathered.
The meeting convened the entire design department, yet two spots remained
unoccupied, one of which belonged to Millie.
He couldn't help but have Millie's visage occupy his thoughts. Each of her smiles
now held the power to bring him joy.
An unexplained smile graced his lips.
