Chapter 249 Finding Someone

The designer, who went by the name Rosalind, was shrouded in mystery. The phone number listed on her competition profile was unreachable, and the address didn't exist.

Tracking Rosalind down quickly was proving to be an impossible task.

I looked up and met his bright, eager gaze and hesitated for a moment.

His confidence was so infectious that I couldn't help but laugh. Nodding, I shared everything I knew about Rosalind with him.
