Joaquin handed the phone back to him: “Contact her immediately and send my pendant over.”
Erick nodded quickly: “Alright.”
After Joaquin left, Erick swiftly opened the messaging app and sent a text to ‘Rosella.‘
“Ding-”
While Romina was treating a patient, her phone, placed to the side, chimed with a message notification.
She recognized it as the notification for the secondary SIM card.
After seeing the patient out, she picked up her phone and, upon reading the message, was momentarily stunned.
The message was from Erick.
“Ms. Rosella, I saw the video you posted on TikTok and wanted to ask if you have time recently? Would you be able to help our CEO repair a pendant?”
What was meant to come would come eventually; there was no way to avoid it.
But after the transaction, if they discovered that the account number for payment belonged to her, her identity would be exposed.
At this critical moment, she did not want them to know too much about her.
But if she refused payment, it would only arouse more suspicion.
Especially Joaquin.
He was so meticulous that if she repaired the quartz for him without accepting payment, he would definitely investigate thoroughly.
After thinking it over, she realized there was indeed a suitable condition she could exchange with them.

Romina quickly typed a line on her phone and sent it to him.
She also sent a photo via MMS at the same time.
At this moment, in the President’s Office of Prima Group.
When Erick walked in holding his phone, his expression was particularly grave.
Joaquin glanced up at him and said indifferently, “Why do you look like that? She still doesn’t have time to repair it?”
“She replied to my message, Mr. Bowman…” Erick hesitated, “This is really not something I can decide. You should take a look yourself.”
Seeing the look on his face, Joaquin’s expression suddenly darkened.
Erick handed over the phone, and naturally, he saw the message on it.
“I can help your CEO repair the quartz pendant, but I don’t need any payment. I only hope you can help me retrieve this set of quartz hairpins.”
“Currently, this set of quartz hairpins is in the hands of the famous actress Nadine. It’s said that in a couple of days, she will take them to the Antique Appraisal Show. As long as you agree to help me get the hairpins back, we can work together.”
Below the message was an MMS, which contained a photo.
When Joaquin saw the quartz hairpins, his brows relaxed slightly.
Although he didn’t know much about quartz hairpins, just by looking at the pair in the photo, he could tell they were rare treasures, definitely made from top–quality quartz.
“Mr. Bowman, I just checked. Nadine’s schedule has been released, and in a few days, she will indeed attend an Antique Appraisal Show. Once the items are on the show, it won’t be easy to get them back…”
After a brief pause, Erick continued, “Should we ask Ms. Rosella about the story behind these quartz hairpins? Otherwise, how can we help her get them back?”
Joaquin put down the phone: “I’ll handle the rest with her directly. You just need to agree to her terms.”
“Mr. Bowman, are you really going to work with her?”

Erick looked at him in disbelief, his eyes filled with astonishment.
“Yes.”
The man’s voice was deep, his face showing little emotion.
“Alright, then I’ll reply to her now.
Erick had just taken a couple of steps when the man’s voice sounded again from behind: “How has Sir Bowman’s condition been these past two days? Has Romina gone to do a follow–up?”
“I’ve heard his health has improved a lot. Ms. Sandoval goes regularly for check–ups, and tomorrow happens to be the day she visits Sir Bowman. She’ll probably go in the evening.”
Joaquin nodded thoughtfully: “Alright, I understand. Go ahead and get back to work.”
Erick nodded lightly and then walked out.
By evening, Elliana had already finished cooking and was waiting for Romina to come home.
“It smells so good! What delicious food did you make tonight?”
As soon as Romina walked in, she caught a faint aroma of food.
“Auntie Romina, Auntie Elliana made braised eggplant for us tonight!”
Hearing the commotion at the door, Lina quickly ran over to her, wrapped her arms around Romina’s leg, and gave her a sweet smile.
“Wow, is it the braised eggplant I love?”
“Yes!”
Elliana called her over: “You got back just in time. The soup is ready, and we’re about to eat.”
“Okay.”
As dinner was coming to an end, Lina finished eating and went to the balcony to play with her toys.
Romina and Elliana began talking about her agreement to repair Joaquin’s quartz pendant.
