Elliana quickly raised her palm and patted her own forehead, then gave Romina two big thumbs up. “That’s Romina for you. I admire you so much!”
Seeing her like this, Romina smiled softly. “Alright, what you owe others, you have to pay back sooner or later. Besides, I’m planning to take on some quartz work next. After three or five jobs, I’ll have the money back…”
Elliana’s eyes lit up. “You’re planning to take on jobs?”
“Yes.” Romina nodded firmly. “From now on, I’ll officially start taking orders under the name ‘Rosella.‘ And TikTok has been really popular these past few years, right? I’ll also record restoration videos and create a short video account to pave the way for my future.”
“That’s a great idea!” Elliana gave her another thumbs up. “With your quartz–making skills and your restoration abilities, you could go viral overnight!”
Romina stood up from the sofa. “You’re exaggerating.”
Seeing her head upstairs, Elliana followed. “I’m serious. If you become famous, it’ll be incredible…”
Romina listened to her words, but her steps never faltered.
The reason for taking orders under the name ‘Rosella‘ was simple: she really needed the money. The wellness clinic was a long–term project and couldn’t generate much wealth in the short term, but quartz carving and restoration could.
Now that she had Lina, life had become more stressful, and she had to plan for the future.
The next morning.
Joaquin had just entered the CEO’s office when Erick followed him in.
“Mr. Bowman, there’s something I don’t know if you’re aware of. I need to report it to you…”
Joaquin sat down in his office chair, looking up at him coldly. “Speak.”
Erick said, “Yesterday, Ms. Sandoval asked me for the company’s corporate account. I just checked with finance, and she transferred 500,000 to our account.”

The man’s hand, which was holding a document, suddenly paused for a moment.
He looked up at Erick. “Five hundred thousand?”

“Yes.” Erick nodded slightly, then asked tentatively, “Did Ms. Sandoval transfer part of the money for the car back to us?”
Joaquin tossed the document aside, leaned back in his chair, and rested his elbows on the armrests, say- ing nothing.
She had clearly said she would only transfer 200,000, but ended up sending him 500,000…
“Have finance return 300,000 to her immediately.”
“Yes, sir.”
Erick nodded quickly and then left the CEO’s office.
Ten minutes later.
“Ding-”
Romina’s phone suddenly chimed with a text notification.
After seeing off a patient, she glanced down at her phone. When she saw it was a deposit notification, her brows furrowed slightly.
She quickly swiped open the screen, and the message popped up.
It was a refund of 300,000 from Prima Group.
This was definitely that man’s doing.
Without his approval, there was no way the money would have been returned.
So, he really had taken her words to heart. She said 200,000, and he only accepted 200,000.
Romina hesitated for a moment, but finally stood up from the consultation desk. “Miguel, I need to go out for a bit. Please look after the wellness clinic.”
Miguel nodded quickly. “Alright.”
Romina picked up her car keys and drove straight to Prima Group.
She had heard of Prima Group more than once, but this was her first time coming here.

The towering building soared into the clouds; she had to look up to see the top.
Gritting her teeth, she walked inside anyway.
“Hello, I’d like to see Joaquin. Could you tell me which floor he’s on?”
After arriving at the front desk, Romina’s gaze fell on the straight–haired beauty in front of her.

The straight–haired beauty looked her up and down for a moment. “You want to see our CEO? Do you have an appointment?”
“Mm.” Romina nodded gently. “But I don’t have an appointment. I just came to see him because some- thing came up.”
The straight–haired beauty frowned slightly between her brows. “I don’t think you’re a client, are you? Our president doesn’t see anyone except clients. Who are you?”
Romina suddenly felt a bit awkward.
She and Jericho were about to get divorced. Bringing up her identity at this moment probably wasn’t ap- propriate.
Besides, the word ‘family member‘ was just too conspicuous.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally spoke in a calm tone, “I’m his friend.”
“I’m sorry, but there are too many women every day who try to approach our president using the excuse of being a ‘friend.‘ If you don’t have an appointment, I can’t let you go up. Why don’t you give our presi- dent a call instead!”
Last week, a financial magazine published a personal photo of Joaquin, and after its release, things got out of hand.
Every day, countless women tried to get close to him under the guise of being ‘friends.‘
