Sensing that Kevin was eager to ask about their relationship, Song Fan quickly turned to Gu Chen. “President Gu, I still have work to do. Kevin is here to discuss design matters.”

Gu Chen, understanding her embarrassment, nodded. “Alright, consider what I mentioned and let me know.”

Song Fan nodded absentmindedly, noticing Kevin’s amused expression.

As soon as Gu Chen left the office, Kevin asked eagerly, “What was that about? Did you kiss? Were you kissing?”

“Kiss my foot!” Song Fan’s face turned even redder. “There was a desk between us. Do you think he’s a giraffe?”

Kevin glanced at the oversized desk and teased, “Oh, you sound a bit regretful?”

“Enough nonsense!” Song Fan smacked him on the head with a folder. “Didn’t you come to see me with something urgent? What’s going on?”

The mention of work made Kevin angry. “Boss, I’m Kevin, an international designer. You rejected my designs twice. Are you dissatisfied with me?”

Kevin’s schedule was usually packed, so he only occasionally came to the office. Despite his busy schedule, he had designed a few pieces of jewelry, none of which satisfied Song Fan.

Song Fan sighed as she looked at the design sketches. “It’s not that I’m dissatisfied. Your designs are of international standard and could be produced as is.”

“But?” Kevin interrupted, sitting on the sofa and waiting for her response.

Song Fan showed him the design sketches. “I want to design luxury items but also a series that many girls can afford. Look at your designs.”

She pointed to a brooch. “Large blue sapphires are rare and expensive. Making a dozen of these would be impressive. And this choker—its complex design makes it difficult to price.”

Kevin, who typically focused on high-end custom fashion with one or two pieces per design, hadn’t considered these aspects.

“You’re right. If a brand’s jewelry is all like this, it would be hard to sustain,” Kevin admitted.

Song Fan was tired, rubbing her temples. “I guess I was too simplistic. These can be high-end items for custom clients, but the main collection needs to be unique and affordable for the middle class.”

As the brand manager, she had to consider profitability.

Kevin was silent for a moment. He looked at the tired Song Fan and tentatively asked, “Have you ever thought about designing yourself?”

“Your previous designs were good. I know you were short on money then, but you really enjoy designing, don’t you? And you’re talented. Don’t you have your grandfather’s design sketches?”

Thinking of the sketches in the safe, Song Fan felt a stir of emotion.

She did love designing. If she hadn’t needed money and become a mercenary, she might have pursued jewelry design continuously.

Seeing her change in expression, Kevin knew he had a chance. “Your grandfather’s sketches were never released. If you create a series based on his style, it would fulfill his wishes, right?”

Even after work ended, Song Fan was still thinking about what Kevin had said.

She had reviewed her grandfather’s designs and researched the renowned “Mr. Hua,” who was actually her grandfather. He had never revealed his identity, and people mistakenly thought his surname was Hua, not realizing it was his given name.

As she was heading home to look at the sketches again, she unexpectedly saw Charlie standing outside her villa.

“I’m here to keep my promise,” he said, nodding towards his car. “There’s still one Snow Red Flower left, and I brought it. Sincere enough?”

He opened the car door, inviting Song Fan to get in. She noticed a suitcase in the back seat.

Once inside, Charlie handed her the suitcase. “You know how rare the Snow Red Flower is. I’m still having my people search.”

Song Fan understood his implication. B Country didn’t allow others to search for Snow Red Flowers. To fully cure Gu Chen’s poisoning, she had to collaborate with him.

“So, Song Fan, have you decided whether you want to collaborate or not?”
