Serena Sullivan arrived at The Sullivan Corporation for work as usual in the morning and remained busy until midday, when her phone rang.
Seeing the number displayed on the screen, she picked up.
"Master!"
The caller was Serena’s ntor. For the past two years, Robin Rowan, a true master in the jewelry design world, had helped her a lot.
Her disciples are few, but each of them is outstanding.
Serena is her newest disciple over the past two years, and also the last.
Without Robin’s assistance during The Brilliance Competition, Serena wouldn’t have been able to successfully defeat Ruth Hale. She called afterwards, but Robin had business and they didn’t chat much.
"The Brilliance Competition was very successful, thank you for your help, Master."
Serena replied with a smile, Robin is also a reserved person who doesn’t talk much daily, yet she differs from Ruth Hale.
Because Robin truly stands at the pinnacle of the jewelry design world, coupled with her prominent family background.
"You’re welco."
Robin replied on the phone, "When you have free ti, co to the Imperial Capital. I’ve arranged for a doctor for you."
Robin cherishes talent and treats Serena well.
"There are still matters to attend to here in Solaria. I’ll co to the Imperial Capital when I have so free ti to visit, Master!"
On the phone, Serena declined. She might not have the chance to visit the Imperial Capital.
Not wanting to disappoint Robin, she gave an excuse.
After losing the use of her leg, she’s seen many things clearly. The despair within her never leaves, yet, in another sense, she feels fortunate.
Having Finn Chandler and Anna Morgan by her side, and such a good ntor.
"Alright." Robin’s voice softened, sounding quite lonely. She reminded Serena a few tis to take care of herself.
Serena had just finished talking with her when footsteps ca from outside, followed by calls of "Mrs. Quinn," indicating Claire Sullivan’s arrival to see Joel Quinn.
Joel Quinn’s plaster casts had been removed, but he still found moving inconvenient.
Despite the situation, even after the events at The Brilliance Competition, he routinely ca to work at The Sullivan Corporation.
Serena had to admit this man’s mind was indeed profound and unfathomable.
Footsteps in high heels drew closer, and Claire Sullivan stood at the entrance of the design departnt, carrying a lunchbox.
The other colleagues in the design departnt, seeing Claire arrive, sensibly greeted her before leaving.
"Serena."
Claire entered, calling with a face full of smiles, looking at Serena very tenderly.
Claire’s smile left Serena feeling disoriented. It’s been years since she’d seen such eyes and concern.
She didn’t know what Claire ca for!
Was it because the Brilliance Competition revealed Ruth Hale and Zoe Quinn’s true natures, making Claire realize her mistake?
No, Serena didn’t believe that Claire would sever relations with Joel Quinn and his daughter due to this.
"I made so bone broth, have a taste and see how it is!"
Serena guessed at Claire’s intentions while Claire ca directly to her desk, saying this as she unpacked the soup from the thermal container. The aroma of rich bone broth showed how long Claire had stewed it.
"Thanks, Anna will be here soon."
Serena declined, her cold tone rejecting people from afar. The smile on Claire’s face froze a bit, but she didn’t act like before by losing her temper at Serena.
"No problem, consider it like drinking water."
Claire comforted, "Look at you, getting so thin."
On hearing this, Serena looked up to see the smile and heartache in Claire’s eyes. After pausing, she understood Claire changed her attitude toward her because of the Brilliance Competition.
"Serena, can Mom talk to you alone?"
