Chapter: 47
"No need, I've brought everything I need. Kaitlin, we're now colleagues."
"Welcome to Oasis Studio," Kaitlin said, offering her hand with a warm smile.
Their handshake lent the moment a formal touch.
With Quintin now part of the team, the development of new jewelry designs accelerated.
Near the close of the day, Phoebe received an unexpected call from the Hewitt Group, proposing a collaboration with Oasis Studio.
It was a significant opportunity, yet Phoebe hesitated to accept right away.
Aware of the history between Kaitlin and Alan, she quickly shared the news with her friend.
"The Hewitt Group?" Kaitlin said, frowning.
"Yes, Alan's assistant contacted me directly. He insisted there were no stipulations and that we could dictate the terms. What's your take on this?"
Kaitlin scoffed, “It seems Alan really cares for Lilliana. He's aware she sparked this scandal and now he's attempting to hush us with money."
Phoebe, feeling a surge of indignation, retorted, “Then I'll just reject their offer!"
"That's right. Reject them. I have no intention of dealing with the Hewitt Group. If we agree to this, we're bound to encounter Alan again, and I'm not about to let Lilliana get away with her actions so easily," Kaitlin declared.
She reached a consensus with Phoebe who quickly dispatched a rejection notice to the Hewitt Group.
The announcement of the Oasis Studio's new jewelry release was set, and, by sheer coincidence, it fell on the same day as the launch of Lilliana's studio's latest collection.
Kaitlin decided against altering the date. The two studios launching new jewelry simultaneously would amplify public scrutiny and hasten Lilliana's professional decline.
Three Drops stirred significant excitement online, with many looking forward to the Oasis Jewelry.
On the day of the launch, the public scrutinized and compared the offerings from both brands.
The well-established Lilliana Jewelry was expected to garner substantial backing.
Yet, when compared to the fresh Oasis Jewelry, the disparity was evident.
"This is Lilliana Jewelry's new collection? After all that buildup, this is all there is?"
“It's an eyesore."
"I had high hopes, but next to Kay's creations, the difference is jarring."
“Let's not drag Kay into this, thank you."
Oasis Jewelry quickly became a smash hit, generating significant profits for the Oasis Studio.
