Alaric was the scion of the Falconer Group, once a vice president. For someone who had lived in luxury his whole life, was he really ready to settle for a minor position? "What, you think I was joking?" Alaric asked Ethan seriously.

Thalassa took over the incomplete jewelry design project from Hertha and finished the design within a month. The company was thrilled with Thalassa's designs, attracting bids from three competing firms. The design department manager asked Thalassa to meet with the first company's representative to discuss the design concept, hoping to spark their interest in purchasing.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt seven in the evening, Thalassa arrived at the designated restaurant. The company representative hadn't arrived yet, so she waited at a table by the window.
About ten minutes later, a rugged male voice said, "Thalassa, is that you?"
Turning around, Thalassa saw a man in a navy-blue suit. His physique was robust, evidence of regular workouts, and a neatly trimmed mustache sat above his lips, his thick eyebrows adding to his masculine aura.
Thalassa recognized him - immediately - Joshua's son, Reginald Whitman, her half-brother! It had E been three years since they last met.
Thalassa was surprised. "Mr. Whitman, what are you doing here?" "CallingMr. Whitman feels so formal. Just callReginald," he said casually, taking a seat opposite her.
"I was here to meet with a jewelry designer about a project. I didn't expect to find you sitting here. Could it be that you're the designer?" Reginald asked, setting his briefcase down, his tone even. Thalassa replied, a bit lost, "The main designer is my best friend. She got injured, so I'm here to present the design concept on her behalf." "Reginald, why didn't you wait for me?" Another man approached them just as Thalassa finished speaking.
