A Graduation Gift
Chapter 37 From A Girl To A Young Woman
In the five-star ballroom, among the lively chatter, Cassandra, with her superb insights and ideas, unexpectedly closed a deal that few had expected would go through.
Even Rufus started to admire Cassandra. After coming out of the hotel, the woman still felt embarrassed about last night's fling. However, Instead of talking about it, they drove straight to the party.
"Miss Qin, you're indeed the most unique designer I have ever seen, and your ideas are refreshing. I had already given up the collaboration with Tang Group, but your insights have rekindled my desire to work with them,"
holding a glass of wine in his hand, the boss from the collaborating company did not hesitate to praise Cassandra and said.
Cassandra lowered her eyes, her face showing a light but sweet smile. She was not good at handling the elation of such an occasion.
"I'm flattered. Thank you for giving Tang Group another chance," she answered in her natural courteous manner. "I will do my best to carry through it."
With the echo of colliding wine glasses, the rising sound of a piano started to play in the ballroom. Turning away, Cassandra immediately met Rufus's gaze.
The throbbing of their hearts in that moment of glory was synchronized. They had finally completed a major task together.
Standing next to her, Rufus's face beamed with a satisfied smile, his eyes lighting up with appreciation.
This woman always looked confused in a lovely way. However, in the workplace, she looked calm, mature and intelligent, which surprised Rufus a lot.
"Mr. Luo, we look forward to a successful collaboration. Miss Qin is a really gifted, intelligent woman. I think you two are a match made in heaven,"
The boss again joked. In the process, he took note of Rufus and Cassandra's moment of interlocking gazes upon each other.
"Mr. Wang, we are not..."
Being praised like that made Cassandra somewhat uneasy. But before she could explain their relationships, Rufus interrupted, "Thank you, Mr. Wang, we also look forward to working with you."
