Chapter 240


    Katherine debated whether or not she should wear a scarf after changing her clothes.


    Although the weather was beautiful today, the wind was extreme.


    When she turned around, her clothes identally knocked the bag she had ced on the shoe rack.


    The bag then fell to the ground, revealing a familiar jewelry box.


    Katherine was stunned for a while.


    As she looked closely, she instantly remembered why this jewelry box was so familiar to her.


    How could it not be? This was where she put that ne before cing it in her bag.


    In fact, Katherine initially prepared this ne for Alice as a wrap-up gift for congratting her after


    finishing her shooting, but who would have thought that Amelia would steal it and eventually sell it.


    Though Katherine nned to look for it again, she didn''t expect this ne toe back on its own.


    Katherine bent over and picked up the box.


    Sure enough, when she opened it, she discovered that the stolen ne was inside.


    She clicked her tongue and raised her brows.


    ‘Unbelievable.Will the missing ne turn up on its own?’ she meaningfully thought, though she


    could guess who took such pain to get this ne back.


    Although Zack didn''t tell her, Katherine was sure that he was the one who found the missing ne


    and discreetly put it inside her bag.


    As for how he found it, he was probably the only one who knew.


    This ne was a limited-edition Camellia series, with only fifty pieces in total, so it was pretty


    challenging to get it.


    Celine was able to acquire one after contacting several people.


    Strictly speaking, Zack couldn''t possibly get another one in such a short amount of time.


    So, the only possibility left was that this ne was the same as the one Katherine intended to gift to


    Alice.


    Katherine flipped the inner buckle of the ne.She looked for a number written on it to confirm its


    batch number.


    Katherine could guess from the inscription that this was the thirty-fifth ne in the series.


    Looking closely, she could see and trace a "0.350" on it with her fingers.


    Katherine took the bag from the ground as she held the jewelry box with the ne in it.


    Flipping its cover, she contemted whether or not to return it to Zack.


    Although the ne was initially hers, after Amelia sold it, it went missing.


    For Zack to find it in such a short period of time, Zack probably spent a lot of money to get it back.


    On the other hand, Alice had been eyeing this ne for quite some time.


    Even after contacting several people, Alice wasn''t able to purchase it.


    So, after Katherine managed to acquire it with great difficulty, she''d intended to surprise Alice with it.


    Hence, now that Katherine got this ne back, she was reluctant to return it to Zack.


    As if arriving at a conclusion, she helplessly thought, ‘Forget it, forget it.Treat it as though I owe Zack a


    favor’


    In the end, Katherine had no choice but to choose Alice''s happiness.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    As she sighed heavily, Katherine couldn''t help but think in exasperation, ‘Who asked Alice to be so


    fascinated with this ne?’


    Katherine was worried about losing the ne again, so she immediately ced it in the jewelry


    cab, not nning to take it out.Since it was past nine in the morning, she hadpletely missed


    the rush hour.


    As a result, Katherine arrived at the Silverlight Entertainment Building without difficulty, taking less than


    twenty minutes as there were only a few cars on the road.


    Katherine paid the parking fee and walked into the building holding her bag.


    The Production Department was having a meeting today to discuss the adaptation of the three novels


    they reviewed yesterday.


    At first, Katherine had no intention of attending it, but since she was already here, she decided to


    participate.


    The meeting was only concluded at half-past eleven, so when Katherine came out, it was already


    lunchtime.


    Gabrielle followed Katherine out of the conference room.


    As she noticed the time, Gabrielle couldn''t help but ask, "Miss Wilson, what do you want to have for


    lunch?"


    Katherine smiled as she looked at her.


    "There''s no need to worry; I''ll take care of it myself"


    After that, she switched the subject.


    With a frown on her face, Katherine asked, "That type of novel is quite appealing now to the market,


    right?"


    Was it because she was unable to keep up with time? Gabrielle was flustered as she nodded and


    exined, "At present, this kind of novel is a current trend in the market, so we could guarantee that it


    will yield us a good return on our investment"


    Katherine frowned slightly.


    "Then, what''s the point of making such a huge amount of investment if it''s only based on such


    assurance?"


    Hearing such a strong opinion from Katherine, Gabrielle, no matter how oblivious she was, understood


    that Katherine was dissatisfied with the books she had picked.


    She then carefully asked, "Then, what do you intend to do, Miss Wilson?"


    Katherine shook her head and solemnly said, "These three books won''t do.Our job is to make an


    adaptation, so we must focus on sessfully turning the novel into a movie.We can''t just take


    advantage of the poprity of the original novels to earn easy money.Also, we need to pay attention to


    the quality of our adaptation to attract more people and make a promising revenue.And to achieve that,


    we have to find the best novels with interesting plots and protagonists."


    Gabrielle nodded after she heard Katherine''s exnation.


    She sincerely said, "I understand, Miss Wilson."


    Katherine begrudgingly finished the three novels yesterday.


    Although she could say that the plot was good, itcked any distinctive quality, so it was not that


    impactful.


    It was simply a dream if they were aiming for an adaptation that wouldter be a hit.


    Katherine paused on her way to the door and smiled at Gabrielle, who looked terrified.


    "What are you scared of? I don''t eat people" Katherine yfully said to ease Gabrielle.


    Gabrielle was embarrassed at her decision regarding this matter, but as she got her senses back, she


    dered in a determined voice, "Forgive me, Miss Wilson.Next time, I won''t let you down."


    Katherine smiled and nodded at her.


    "All right, tell me what you want to eat for lunch, and I''ll treat you"


    Caught off guard by Katherine''s sudden offer, Gabrielle was so happy that she could not react for a


    moment.


    Then, as she gazed at Katherine, she spoke in a trembling voice, as if she couldn''t contain her


    excitement.


    "I...I am okay with eating anything.Just order what you want to eat, Miss Wilson"


    Katherine amusedly chuckled at Gabrielle''s reaction.


    "Then, I won''t be modest."


    Gabrielle hurriedly nodded, still trying to maintain herposure in front of Katherine.


    "Okay."


    But on the inside, she couldn''t help but squeal.


    Who would have thought that someday, she would have the opportunity to eat with her idol from high


    school to university! Gabrielle was so delighted that she felt like she was on cloud nine!
