Chapter 896
Anna had confidence in herself. However, after hearing Natalie's evaluation of herself, she smiled.
âThank you, thank you,â Anna murmured, âIf it weren't for you, there wouldn't be a new Anna, a new
Muse. You also made me understand that designing isn't just about talent. More importantly, you made
me realize that designing is the true love of my life!â
Natalie saw the flames of hope rekindling in Anna's eyes and was happy about her transformation.
The two continued to discuss the design of 'Rebirth' in detail.
âHave you thought of the gemstones to use on the pendant of 'Rebirth'?â
âYes.â Anna nodded with a hint of embarrassment on her face. âI want to use the thunderstone specially
available in the west for the pendant. âI won't be using large thunderstones. It's mainly a mosaic of
them. âAlthough the thunderstone isn't a rare mineral, the mining rights of the thunderstone are owned
by Amos from the Stone family.
âIf he disagrees, we won't be able to use even the tiniest fragments of thunderstone. I have also been
thinking of alternative gemstones that can replace the thunderstone for the past two days.â
Natalie was able to understand the reason behind Anna to prefer the thunderstone.
Firstly, the thunderstone was more cost-effective than other gemstones. Secondly, thunderstones had a
higher luminosity than other gemstones, and they would have a more rejuvenating lucidity of Rebirth
when made into an actual product.
Anna had confidence in herself. However, after hearing Natalie's evaluation of herself, she smiled.
The reason why Anna had difficulty choosing an alternative was because of these two advantages of
the thunderstone. It was rare for any other gemstone to have both benefits simultaneously.
After pondering for a moment, Natalie said, âYour design is perfect. I will need you to follow up with the
jewelry craftsman during production. As for the gemstone, I will find a way. The Stone family holds one-
third of Loang's mining rights. Not just for the 'Rebirth' series, for Dream Jewelry to grow in the future, it
only makes sense to cooperate with them.â
âBut, the Stone familyââ Anna suddenly stopped.
âYou mean to say that Amos is the fiancé of the daughter of Farrington Jewelry?â
âWell, I believe you will use the name Muse in your early advertising,â Anna bit her lip and said,
âFarrington Jewelry also came to me and offered me the position as their chief designer two years ago,
but I rejected it. The person who looked for me was the daughter of Farrington Jewelry's owner, Amos's
fiancée, Olivia Jones.â
After hearing Anna out, Natalie seemed to have understood her concerns.
She thought she would only have to worry about Amos. However, Anna had some history with Amos
and his fiancée, Olivia.
âI see.â Natalie reassured anna and said, âThis is the design of your first comeback. You may focus on
refining the details and leave the rest to me.â
âOkoy.â
After sending Anno off, Notolie mossoged her temple.
She hod plons to hove business relotions with the Stone fomily, but Anno's designs mode it so thot she
hod to negotiote the cooperotion with the Stone fomily sooner.
Notolie picked up the phone on her desk ond colled Yondel.
âYondel, I wont you to moke on oppointment with someone for me. I wont to cooperote with him in the
future.â
âSure thing. Who will it be?â
âAmos Stone.â
âHim?â Yondel wos slightly token obock.
âWhot's wrong?â Notolie osked. âDo you know eoch other?â
âYes.â
Heoring Yondel's muffled response, Notolie guessed thot Yondel ond Amos knew eoch other, ond it
might not be o good ideo for Yondel to propose the cooperotion.
âJust moke the oppointment for me. I'll tolk to him obout the cooperotion myself.â
âUnderstood.â
At first, Notolie thought thot the most chollenging port of this cooperotion would come during her
meeting with Amos. She didn't expect it to be so chollenging for her even to meet Amos.
After communicoting for three doys, there wos still no response from Amos.
Notolie couldn't woit ony longer.
âIt's not ideol for us to keep woiting for Amos like this,â Notolie soid, âYondel, we must toke the initiotive.
Send someone to investigote Amos's whereobouts. I must meet him no motter whot.â
âOkay.â
After sending Anna off, Natalie massaged her temple.
She had plans to have business relations with the Stone family, but Anna's designs made it so that she
had to negotiate the cooperation with the Stone family sooner.
Natalie picked up the phone on her desk and called Yandel.
âYandel, I want you to make an appointment with someone for me. I want to cooperate with him in the
future.â
âSure thing. Who will it be?â
âAmos Stone.â
âHim?â Yandel was slightly taken aback.
âWhat's wrong?â Natalie asked. âDo you know each other?â
âYes.â
Hearing Yandel's muffled response, Natalie guessed that Yandel and Amos knew each other, and it
might not be a good idea for Yandel to propose the cooperation.
âJust make the appointment for me. I'll talk to him about the cooperation myself.â
âUnderstood.â
At first, Natalie thought that the most challenging part of this cooperation would come during her
meeting with Amos. She didn't expect it to be so challenging for her even to meet Amos.
After communicating for three days, there was still no response from Amos.
Natalie couldn't wait any longer.
âIt's not ideal for us to keep waiting for Amos like this,â Natalie said, âYandel, we must take the initiative.
Send someone to investigate Amos's whereabouts. I must meet him no matter what.â
