"Wow," Jsaid breathlessly.
"It’s beautiful... and it looks expensive."
All of a sudden, she sighed.
"Don’t tellyou spent a fortune onagain."
"Don’t worry.It didn’t cost much.I got it from my friend."
Ethan said affectionately, lying as easily as breathing.
As he spoke, he ran his fingers across the woman’s slender waist restlessly.
It never occurred to Jthat the gem in front of her was a genuine diamond.
And how could it be real? If it was, Ethan had to be extremely rich.
Eyeing the twinkling gemstone, she said in awe, "Technology these days must be amazing.It looks like a real diamond!"
Ethan looked at her cute face and had to hold back a smile that kept tugging at the corner of his lips.
Lowering his head so that she couldn’t see his face, he took the diamond ring out of the box and slipped it onto her index finger.
Her fair, slender finger made the diamond pop out even more.
Delighted, he nibbled her neck and whispered, "You’re right.It does look real."
"Ouch! Hey!"
Jshot him a glare, rubbing the spot he bit.
Raising her hand, she stared at the diamond under the light.
Each facet glistened and twinkled.
Even she couldn’t help but nod with satisfaction.
Now, no one would try to rob her with such a big diamond ring on her finger, because it looked way too big.

It was obviously fake.
"Oh, that hurts already? Then what should you do when we get down to real business someday?"

Looking at the faint teeth marks he left on her neck, Ethan snickered.
"What’re you talking about?"
Hearing his naughty words, Jblushed, her ears burning bright red.She quickly yanked at a towel to wipe her face.
Pushing him, she barked, "Get out of my way.I’m going to be late for work."
But Ethan’s hands still lingered on her waist, unwilling to let her go.
"I’ll let you go if you kiss me."
"Ethan, stop it.I’m going to be late!"
Jquickly turned her face away stubbornly.
It was as red as an apple.
"It’s not like we’ve never kissed before.Why are you so scared?"
Ethan whispered in her ear teasingly.
But in the end, he let her go.
He patted her on the head and murmured, "You win."
Jlooked at him, bewildered.She had thought that he’d force her to kiss him, but he didn’t.
Ethan turned around and walked away.She stared at his back blankly, lost in thought.
When she arrived at the office, she found the design department bustling busily.
The new director, Tiffany Fisher, was quite strict.
She required everyone to submit an independent design within two weeks, and all the designers running around like headless
chickens to meet the deadline.

"Why did Mr.Harding give us such a difficult director? She’s worse than Ike," a male colleague complained under his breath as he
made revisions to his design drawing.
Fortunately, Tiffany’s office was far from here, so they could afford a moment to slack off.
"Tiffany’s a typical twenty-first century iron lady.She’s good with office work and housework."
Suddenly, a female colleague sitting next to Jpoked her head out.

"Hey, is she married? How old is she anyway?"
"I don’t know how old she is, but I’m willing to bet she doesn’t have a boyfriend."
The male colleague gnawed one end of his pen, lost in thought as he stared at his drawing. Jcommented lightheartedly, "I
think she’s good for this department. She might be cold and strict, but she’s just and will get the job done.We could learn a lot
from her."
As everyone chattered on excitedly, they suddenly heard a knock on the glass.
Tiffany was standing by the door in a black dress, her lips pursed unhappily.
"Since you all have so much free ton your hands, let’s have a meeting at ten o’clock.All you designers are required to
attend."
A hush fell over the office.
Everyone knew they were doomed.
The male colleague subtly made a gesture of slitting his throat.
"The design department just received an important project.We’ll be cooperating with another company to design the spring
collection.Every designer has to submit their plan by the end of this week."
As Tiffany spoke, she flipped through a PowerPoint presentation concisely.
Then, glancing at all the designers before her, she finished assigning tasks and left the room, like a teacher leaving her students
to answer their test.

The atmosphere in the design department dropped several hundred degrees.
Jand the other designers all worked overtthat week, sketching drafts seriously, as if they were in the middle of an
intense exam.
Surprisingly, when the designs were submitted a week later, Janet’s design was selected.She thought the battle had cto an
end.
But one morning, Tiffany suddenly called her into her office.
"You have to start over and design a new plan."
Jfrowned, tilting her head to the side in confusion.
Tiffany looked at her indifferently.
"Don’t be anxious.Listen tofirst.When we handed over your draft to the client, it was rejected and your designs were
criticized thoroughly.They said they wanted something more serious."
