Chapter 87 Seeking Him Will Certainly Come at a Price

Before the intern could say a word, Maya, wearing a triumphant expression, walked in and handed a resignation letter to Rose.

“Congratulations on successfully inheriting your mother’s legacy, Rose. I came here today to personally resign, out of consideration for our years of friendship. By the way, you asked where everyone went, right? Just check your company email.”

Rose opened her email and saw a flood of resignation letters.

“All the key positions in the company have been vacated, leaving only these inexperienced interns. Rose, how long do you think Celeste wels can survive now? Hehehe… Do you think Uncle Jamie intended to

give Celeste Jewels back to you?”

A malicious grin crept over the corners of Maya’s lips. Even if Rose inherited Celeste Jewels, what could she do with it alone? She left with a malicious laugh.

Rose’s office was left empty, and a few interns stared blankly at her. Almost everyone could sense her unpreparedness. The air in the room became stiflingly silent, and it felt like one could hear a pln drop.

After a few minutes, a mocking smile finally curled on Rose’s lips. After a long pause, she dialed Jamie’s number. She thought he had already blocked her, but the call went through surprisingly.

“Rose, why are you calling me so early? Is something wrong?”

Jamie’s voice from the other end of the line was unusually concerned, like that of a caring father. Rose felt an icy chill listening to his words.

She almost shivered as she asked, “Why?”

Nearly everyone in the company had submitted their resignation letters at the same time, a clear sign of Jamie’s directive.

He remained silent for a moment and replied gently, “Rose, I’ve said it before, no matter what you face, you can always come to me.”

Come to him anytime? It was only now that Rose finally understood the meaning of those words. Jamie wanted her to ask him for help.

However, seeking his help would undoubtedly come at a cost. Thinking of the agreement that had her providing a dowry for Kelly, her lips curled into a bitter smile.

With a hint of irony, she hung up the phone. Time seemed to stand still. The interns gazed at her, not daring to make a sound.

Suddenly, she turned to look at them, wearing a wry smile as she said, “You’ve all seen it. Almost everyone has resigned. If any of you want to leave as well, feel free to do so.”

After saying that, she walked into her office. Her desolate figure evoked a sense of pity in those who witnessed it.

Just then, a young man spoke up, “I’m not leaving, Ms, Shaffer. I’ve just graduated and don’t have much experience. If you don’t mind, I can help out around the company.

Rose raised a faint smile as she asked, “What’s your name?”

+15 BONU!

“I’m William Zens.”

“Alright, you can stay.”

She nodded at him and turned to enter her office.

Suddenly, another timid voice spoke up, “Ms. Shaffer, I’m not leaving either.”

It was the same intern Rose had asked about the missing staff earlier. She had long, flowing hair and a sweet face. Her eyes were bright yet filled with a lack of self–confidence.

As Rose hadn’t responded, she began to sound anxious.

“Ms. Shaffer, I’ve seen your designs for the National Jewelry Design Award. I’ve always admired you, and I want to learn from you. My name is Sherlyn Yates.”

She gazed at Rose with hopeful eyes, as if a flame had ignited within her. That flame drove away the chill that had just settled in Rose’s heart.

“Sherlyn, you can stay.”

Rose felt a sense of gratitude.

“Count me in. I want to stay too

“I’m not leaving either. Can I stay, Ms. Shaffer?”

“My name is Henry Losse.”

“I’m Shane Zoyard.”

Two more voices chimed in simultaneously. The gloomy office was suddenly bathed in a ray of light. Rose looked at the four of them and felt a burning determination inside her.

“You can all stay. From today on, as long as I’m here, I will never treat any of you unfairly.
