Shane sighed and tried hard to suppress his anger. He said, “Take the impostor away. I’ll clean up this mess and deal with her when I’m done.”
“R-Right away, Mr. Shane,” the assistant replied, waving for the bodyguards to seize Felecia.
Immediately after, she cried and begged, “Shane! I didn’t mean to lie to you. Please give me another chance!”
Shane detested Felecia. “Get her out of my sight!”
While the guards dragged her away, Shane looked at Bonnie sparklingly. He had just thought of a good idea. He smiled and approached, saying sheepishly, “Greetings, Ms. Finley. I’m Shane from Gemedia Group.”
She glanced at him and said coldly, “Can I help you?”
“H-Here’s the thing, Ms. Finley. My company needs a top-tier jeweler, and you’re the perfect candidate. I want to hire you with a thirteen-million-dollar annual salary plus commission. That’s a sincere offer, Ms. Finley!”
Shane knew he had to be modest toward her. After all, he needed her to be his company’s lead designer. Then, he would use her to take the Knight Group down a peg and make himself look good.
‘Although a thirteen-million-dollar salary might be overkill, getting her on my side will be worth every penny.’
“You’re willing to pay me that much, huh?” Bonnie said sarcastically, “Gosh, you’re throwing a lot of money at me.”
Shane thought he had piqued her interest and proceeded to push it. “That’s not it, Ms. Finley. You’re just worth that much. I promise to give you anything you want if you work for my company.”
Ivor noticed Shane openly poaching his designer. The former stood up slowly and was about to say something when Finley turned and looked at him, saying, “Indeed, that’s an attractive offer, Mr. Shane. However, I’ve decided to work with the Knight Group. I’ll have to reject your offer.”
Shane felt a sense of deja vu at that moment. He recalled going to Tang Fusion Studios to talk to Hamish. Back then, he also got rejected, similar to what Finley did just now.
Shane’s fury welled within him. He sneered but said calmly, “Pardon me, Ms. Finley, you should’ve instantly turned me down when I made my offer. Why did you play me for a fool earlier? Did you find it amusing?”
He knew he could not offend the renowned jeweler and tried his best to stay calm. However, he had suffered too many setbacks and could no longer bear it.
Bonnie turned and glanced at Shane casually. “Is there a problem with me choosing to work with the Knight Group? It’s my decision, and I can choose to work with whoever I want. You don’t get to teach me how to do my job.”
