"Ms. Smith, we truly admire your talents. As long as you are willing to honor us with your presence, you can rest you need for work will be met to the fullest extent," Hugo said with a smile.

"When you come to Solterra, your living arrangements, meals, and all daily needs will be handled at an executive level. You won't need to worry about any of the trivial matters."

Daring the dinner, Hugo proposed an offer that included a seaside property, a luxury car, and a salary twice the market rate.

The benefits were undeniably generous.

Janice realized that her participation in international competitions under her cousin's name had become common knowledge among industry glants. She didn't deny it. Since Simon had forced her out of Refined Threads Co., she would have to bring her A-game to carve out a new path for herself.

While seeing Janice off, Hugo didn't stop trying to persuade her. “We'll be eagerly awaiting your positive response, Ms. Smith." Janice declined their offer to send her home since she didn't have a permanent residence at the moment.

As the taxi door was about to close, the PR director of Melody & Loops Creations placed a gift box in the back seat.

Janice didn't even have the chance to refuse. She glanced down at the gift box–it looked very expensive. For some reason, the gift made her think of Simon again.

During their years together, she had to get approval before spending money. If she bought too much, she'd get criticized. Moreover, Simon never gave her any expensive gifts.

Back then, she was still blinded by love and thought that Simon was just being frugal and practical. But it was finally clear to her when she saw all of Amelia's lavish accessories and possessions. It turned out that if a man did not love a woman, he would not do anything for them because he thought the woman was not worth it.

How laughable.

The first valuable gift of her life came not from love but from a company trying to recruit her, Janice felt a certain closeness to Melody & Loops Creations.

Her late mother's work had always been purchased by them. In a way, her mother and Melody & Loops Creations had worked together to raise her and her younger brother. It was this connection that made her seriously consider their offer.
