Chapter 1583


    Taking a deep breath, she calmed herself down. She forced a smile, the kind you''d reserve for official asions, straightened her posture, and


    walked towards ric.


    Just then, a female employee rushed over, identally bumping into her before cutting in front, showering ric withpliments. "Mr. Falconer,


    we''ve all been eagerly awaiting your visit. You''re truly a VIP in ourpany.”


    The woman was practically swooning, eagerly extending her hand for a handshake with ric.


    It was clear as day to any onlooker; she was trying to use work as an excuse for some physical contact. The way she looked at ric, her eyes


    practically sparking with interest.


    She stopped in her tracks, no longer moving forward, watching the employee fawn over ric. It was like seeing a ghost of her past self.


    ric, however,pletely ignored her, stepping around her to approach.


    Seeing him, she managed a professional smile, "Mr. Falconer, wee to ourpany for the tour.”


    ric had already been watching her, his smile deepening as he approached and stopped in front of her, looking down at her with a soft lock, "It''s


    good to see you again, Designer Hertha."


    His words, artfully chosen, informed the earlier flirty employee that his visit was specifically for Hertha


    The employee blinked in surprise, shot a quick, embarrassed nce at Hertha, and quietly moved back into line.


    Understanding ric''s intention, Hertha looked at the employee with sympathy, suppressing the urge to scold ric, she smiled wryly, "Mr. Falconer


    really does seem to have a lot of free time, managing to meet with a busybody like me now and then.”


    ric raised an eyebrow, a yful challenge in his gaze.


    Was she suggesting he was intentionally creating opportunities to see her?


    He admitted it freely.


    After all, pursuit required a thick skin.


    "Indeed, to see Hertha, I''ve even postponed meetings with several major clients interested in our jewels," ric confessed, his interest in visiting the


    designpany being purely for her.


    His straightforward admission caught her off guard, leaving her momentarily at a loss for words.

    supposed toe, but Zephyr had


    scheduled adoctor S appointment to

    couldny make it," David quickly


    stepped in, exining why Lysander


    wasn''t there to see Thssa, hoping


    te prevent any misunderstanding.


    ric had made his intentions clear, he was here for her.

    She felt awkward, ncing around at the people nearby.


    With David''s words, was he suggesting her rtionship with Lysander was out of the ordinary?
