?Chapter 263:


    K nodded slightly, enjoying the spotlight.


    As she moved through the office, each employee she passed acknowledged her with a nod or a bow, their voices carrying a tone of respect.


    “Good morning, Miss Wade!”


    “Hello, Miss Wade!”


    “Wee, Miss Wade!”


    The chorus of greetings bolstered K’s self-esteem, and with each step, her satisfaction grew.


    It was evident that Isabel’s endorsement had circted through the office.


    With her posture straightened, K walked with increased confidence. Upon reaching the marketing department, she found the spacious and bright office buzzing with activity.


    “Miss Wade!” The marketing department manager greeted her with considerable respect. “What brings you here today?”


    “I’m just taking a look around.” K’s response was cool, her postureposed.


    Her eyes swept across the office, pausing on a document on one of the desks. “What’s this?”


    The marketing department manager quickly retrieved the document and presented it to K with both hands.


    “This is the partnership proposal we’ve been working on with Stonemont Estate. However…” He paused, seeming hesitant.


    “However, what?” K pressed, her toneced with impatience.


    “Ms. Shaw has declined our proposals repeatedly. Despite our best efforts, we’ve been unable to secure her agreement,” the manager exined carefully.

    K thumbed through the document, her expression tightening.


    Stonemont Estate was a renowned, high-end resort in the suburbs. Landing a partnership with them would be a significant win for the branch.


    “I believe Mr. Wall might know Ms. Shaw personally…” the manager hinted tentatively. “Perhaps he could intervene…?” A spark of opportunity lit up K’s eyes.


    That was indeed a promising angle.


    She masked her eagerness with a measured smile and said, “Leave this to me.”


    Relief washed over the manager. “It’s all yours, Miss Wade! Thank you!” A thrill of anticipation surged through K.


    This was her chance to distinguish herself before Noah and solidify her standing within thepany.


    Within a secluded members-only club, a circle of elegantly attired socialites were engaged in light chatter andughter. Susannah stood among them, draped in a dark green gown that highlighted her elegant and regal air. Holding a champagne flute, she sipped lightly, her politeness masking a distracted mind.


    “Have you heard thetest rumor? A new jewelry design studio is causing quite a stir. It’s led by a designer named Sadie Hudson. I’ve heard her pieces are truly remarkable!” a woman in a red gown whispered excitedly.


    “Sadie? Wasn’t she the one who designed jewelry for the Lawrence Group but lost that Cardi Pink Diamond?” inquired another, her voice tinged with contempt.


    “Yes, that’s the one! Imagine the audacity of substituting it with a sapphire!”
