Anna placed a few oranges on my desk. I barely looked up, offering her a polite smile. “Ms. Anna, you really don’t have to do this. You always bring something when you visit. At this rate, our designers are going to get spoiled.”

“It’s nothing.” Anna settled into the chair beside me, her smile as warm as ever. “I don’t have much to do here anyway. Besides, my family is planning to start a design company, so I figured I’d come and learn a thing or two.”

I simply smiled, maintaining my usual courtesy. Every time Anna came by, I made sure to stay on guard.

Rosaline had warned me about it, and she was never wrong.

“Learn a thing or two? Aside from Loe, who’s our main designer, the rest of us are more or less on the same level.” I casually brought up Loe’s name.

“Loe’s really busy. He barely comes back to the studio,” I said casually.
