Rayna was rendered speechless. “If you don’t want to work with me, fine. Why did you have to blacklist me as well?” she muttered.

The nerve of some people. It’s a simple breakup! Why does he not want to sell me oranges as well?

Ella shrugged apologetically, giving Rayna a look that seemed to imply, “I’ve done my best. There’s nothing else I can do.” She then said, “Ms. Garland, Faymon Group is such a large company. I can understand why they wouldn’t want to work with us, but if we want to ask for help, we need to pay the price. I’ve compiled a list since there are so many other decent brand strategy companies out there. Should I send you a copy?”

Rayna went silent for a moment before waving a hand. “There’s no need. I’ll have that sorted out. You can get back to work.”

When Rayna got back to the office, she set about taking care of important business.

It was only around noon that she called Jasmine.

“Hi, Rayna!” Jasmine answered the phone very quickly. With a smile, she asked, “I’ve seen the news. Are you working for Glory now?”

“Yes, I’ve been here for two days now,’ replied Rayna with a giggle. “Are you busy? Why don’t we meet up for a meal?”

“I’m not busy. Let’s meet at Red Bricks Restaurant!”

“Sure thing!”

Rayna immediately asked Ella to draw up a contract. After receiving it, she went to the garage and drove away.

The drive took a mere ten minutes since Red Bricks Restaurant was so close to the financial district.

After being led by the waiter to the second floor, Rayna soon spotted Jasmine, who was sitting by the window. She immediately strode over to greet the latter.

Jasmine also noticed Rayna. When the latter arrived, Jasmine gave her the once-over and pushed the menu toward her. “I’ve not seen you for a few months, and you seem to be glowing! Is the air abroad a lot kinder than it is here?”

“My, my. Are you implying that I’ve gained weight?” Rayna gave Jasmine a sideways glance and pulled the chair out before taking a seat.

“I swear on the heavens that I’m speaking the truth!”
