“Yes, I personally asked for my position not to be printed. I really like this ID card. I want to keep wearing it, even if my position has been promoted.” Barbara shrugged as if it was nothing big.

Hailey snorted. “You’re not lying, right? You’re really the creative director at Savior Fashion?”

Barbara immediately frowned. “You don’t believe me?”

“Many things can be faked, nowadays, including identities and ID cards. We need more concrete evidence.”

Hailey raised an eyebrow. “Yes, do it. And show me the results of your design. Only after that, I and the others will stop doubting you.”

Barbara subconsciously swallowed hard. Her shoulders rose and fell faster.

“Okay. Just wait until Monday. I will show you my office and work results.”

Hailey smiled slyly. “Yeah, let’s see.”

Barbara gasped. Realizing that her orange diamond was exposed, she pretended to be confused.

Barbara moved the camera closer to her necklace. Seeing the gleam of that perfect sculpture, everyone immediately expressed their envy. and admiration. Even Hailey couldn’t hide her feelings.

“Is that the real thing? Very beautiful. How much does it cost?”

“I don’t know,” Barbara returned the camera to its original distance.” Maybe, millions of dollars. It wouldn’t be ethical for me to ask my brother.”
