Isabella saw the fleeting sadness in Rihanna’s eyes, thus patting her shoulder. “It’s fine. We’ve grown up moms are watching over us from above.”

A smile played about Rihanna’s lips. She nodded.

Isabella was stunned. “Rihanna, you look good when you smile.”

Unfortunately, Rihanna’s smile vanished.

After that incident, Isabella and Rihanna became closer.

Perhaps Louisa was pressured by Maguire Group and the HR department, for she did not mess with Isabella and Rihanna after stepping out of Nigel’s office. She purely rolled her eyes.

Isabella felt relieved, for getting fired for lack of ability was vastly different than that for accusation. She had always aced her studies, so her future would be ruined should she get expelled during the internship.

However, thinking of how Nigel acted the day before, Isabella decided to stay focused and alert.

‘Survival of the fittest, huh, she mused.

That day sailed by smoothly. When it was almost time to clock out, Isabella and Rihanna exchanged smiles. It seemed that the ordeal had passed.

They packed their things and exited Vaughn Corporation. At the intersection where they were going separate ways, Edmund in a beige suit was standing there elegantly. Behind him was a black car unfamiliar to Isabella.

Seeing them, Edmund approached with a grin. “Ladies, care to join me for dinner? My treat.”

Isabella and Rihanna exchanged looks.

Edmund beamed and added, “Take it as a gift for sending me the design draft.”

Isabella shook her head. “We’re good, Mr. Maguire. We’re just doing our jobs. Besides, as you already know, it seems to be a mix–up.”

Edmund returned a friendly smile. “It’s not your fault. Your earnest execution of it means you’re responsible. For me, your conscientiousness has brought me great benefits, so I wanna express my gratitude.”

“Is that design draft that useful to you?” Rihanna suddenly spoke and looked straight at Edmund.

Isabella was surprised, not expecting Rihanna to speak. She was used to being the Rihanna’s spokesperson.

Under Rihanna’s gaze, gone was Edmund’s grin as he nodded earnestly. “Yup, that design might never see the light of day if left in Vaughn Corporation. Since I saw it by chance, I’ll make it a reality. Such was also the agreement i made with Mr. Langley”

Rihanna pursed her lips and stopped talking.

Edmund continued smiling. “What say you? Will you give me a chance to thank you

you?”
