It was noon when Sharon got to the studio.She saw Tiffany bent over the counter, sighing again and
again.
Sharon walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Tiffany raised her head, looking at her blankly, "Nothing.I'm just tired."
"Wanna go back and rest? There's not much work today anyway.
"No.I'm just tired spiritually."
Sharon raised her eyebrows at these words.She took Tiffany to the pantry.
"Did Daniel go to see you yesterday?"
Tiffany nodded and let out another sigh.
"What did he say?"
"Nothing, just some words that made no sense at all.He kept asking me if I'm getting married.I asked if
he planned to cash-gift me, but he didn't say anything.What does he want!? If he’s not going to give me
money, then why does he care?"
"_…” Sharon was speechless, "And then?"
"And then I went home."
"How about your date? What's he like?"
"Pretty good.Much better than I expected.I liked talking to him.He even invited me to watch a movie
tonight"
"And you said yes?"
"He said we should give it a try.I think so too, so I agreed."
Sharon didn't speak more.She had wanted to give Daniel a push, but it didn't seem to work.....
But she wanted Tiffany to follow her heart anyway, so if she actually found the man decent, then why
not give it a try? Tiffany yawned and went to get coffee, "How about you? Didn't you two discuss the
Beale Group? What does he think?"
"The same as you"
Sharon smiled, leaning against the wall."
"See? You should just do what we.....what I told you.Leave the Beale Group, and this whole mess
be.Ya just need to enjoy your own life."
"Tiffany, I have made the decision"Tiffany answered while drinking the coffee she just made, "Great.Ya
won't regret....."
"I decided to go to the Beale Group."
Tiffany was so shocked that she almost spat out the coffee.
"What!?"
"I said--I decided to go to the Beale Group."
"But why? I thought I talked you out of it.Didn't....didn't that somebody also ask you not to go?"
Sharon looked outside the window and slowly replied, "I thought about it yesterday.It was complicated
and challenging, yes.And it will do me no good.I might even be used by those with sinister motives."
"Then why...."
"I was hesitant at the beginning.But I went to the Proctor Group and found out that even Jameson
Proctor was trying to help.....Why should I run away if he's fighting? I mean--I have more reasons than
he does to make a difference"
She couldn't remember-—Since when did everyone start to protect her and take care of her, trying to
keep her out of this storm? But many things were inevitable.She could only face them.
Right now, only a real Beale can resolve the situation and rebuild the group.
If he was unwilling, only she could do it.
Tiffany couldn't help but knit her brows, "But you are not in the wrong! It's all Tavis Beale and Natalia
Beale's fault!"
Sharon tossed her head.
"It's not about right or wrong or who's to blame.Too many people are involved already.If the situation
can't be controlled immediately, more people will get hurt."
Tiffany didn't know what else to say.
In fact, she had seen a lot of posts on Wechat Moments recently about company downsizing and even
close-down.
They are all related to the Beale Group.
"So when are you going?" Tiffany asked.
"Tomorrow."
"Fine.You don't have to worry about the studio.I will handle everything.But.....don't you have to prepare
for the Fashion Week as well?"
"Actually, I'm not so good at managing.Based on what I heard yesterday from those guys, my main
purpose was to make a statement by being present.Don't worry.I won't forget about Fashion Week."
After all, it was her dream.
Tiffany patted her on the shoulder, "Well then, go for it! I'm always here for ya!"
Sharon smiled, "I wish you could find your own happiness as well."
Tiffany shrugged at her nonchalantly, "Well, if I can make enough money, I'll just buy my happiness!"
"_....You got that from Jameson Proctor?"
"No, no, no.When Mr.Proctor talks about making money, he makes money.When I talk about it, I'm all
talk."
At noon, Sharon and Tiffany went out for lunch.
When they returned, the girl at the reception said, "Sharon, Tiffany--Daniel is here!"
“Is he actually gonna give me the cash gift?" thought Tiffany.
"And someone else as well."
"Who?"
"I don't know his name.He's with Daniel."
"Has he been here before?"
"He came once with Mr.Proctor a long time ago.I'm not sure.But it should be him."
Sharon knew who the person was.
"Alright.Are they in the lounge?"
"Yeah.They've been here for half an hour."
Sharon stood still with her head lowered.
"What's wrong? Who is it?" asked Tiffany quietly.
"Probably.....Patrick Matthias."
Tiffany got confused, "I thought he was one of Jameson Proctor's business partners.How come he's
with Daniel now? His business is quite extensive, huh?"
Sharon laughed, not knowing what to say.
Technically, she should go in right now to greet them.
But for some reason, her legs couldn't move.
Tiffany noticed her hesitation and said, "If you don't want to meet them, should I just ask them to
leave?"
Sharon shook her head, "No."
She took some time to bring herself back to composure.
Before she went in, she said to Tiffany, "Tiffany, would you please bring us some water"
"Yeah, sure."
