Maisie mumbled, “I’m sure that’s what you’re thinking.”
Nolan buried his head onto her shoulder and chuckled. “So, I’m that kind of person to you, Zee.”
Before Maisie could come around to her senses, Nolan scooped her up from the floor, and the smile in
his eyes deepened.” I’ve decided. Starting from tomorrow. I’ll be the kind of person you want me to be.”
Maisie’s voice erupted from upstairs.” Nolan! How could you set me up again!?”
The next day, at Soul…
“Sigh, did Ms. Vanderbilt not come to the office again today?” ‘Well, Ms. Vanderbilt has been rather busy
for the past six months since she returned from the branch in Stoslo. She has to rest.” Naomi was having
her lunch in the staff restaurant when she overheard the conversation of the three female staff members
across the table. Most of the people were eating in a group of two or more. They were all chatting and
laughing, but she was alone.
When the few female employees who used to take the initiative to ask her out saw her, they nodded at
her before going to sit down elsewhere.
Naomi lowered her head and listened to the people around her talking about things. For example, she
did not know the most trending game. She did not know what Amazon was, and she was clueless about
the latest movies. She even did not know what G.O.A.T. meant at all.
When they were talking about celebrities, she couldn’t recognize the name of the idols or groups that
came out of their mouths.
She pulled out the smartphone that her father had bought for her. She still hadn’t gotten used to it yet as
she searched for their names online.
“Naomi.” Lucy’s voice rang out and made her jump in fright.
She kept her phone away and smiled at her. “Yes?”
“I just want to tell you that you’re coming with me to source some materials after lunch,” Lucy said as she
patted her shoulder.
Smiling, she nodded. “Okay.”
After finishing her meal, Lucy was already waiting for her at the entrance. There was a purchase list in
her hand as she said. Initially, it was Ms. Vanderbilt who should go out and source for the materials. But
since you’re an official designer now, you should also be familiar with the sourcing of materials.”
She took over the purchase list from Lucy and nodded. “Sure.”
Lucy brought her to the suppliers in her car. Usually, it would be Maisie who came with her. After all
things would go very bad if she was not familiar with the market and couldn’t distinguish the texture and
color, so Maisie usually picked the material herself.
This was Naomi’s first time coming out to buy the materials. Luckily, she could differentiate the colors
and texture. After selecting the materials, they signed the order with the supplier and confirmed the
delivery date before they left.
Lucy got into the car, and when she was putting on her seat belt, she smiled and said, “You’re a quick
learner. Are all jewelry designers particularly sensitive with these materials?”
Naomi smiled and replied, “I guess so. Besides, I do some research and look for some information on
the Internet when I’m free.”
“I see. You’re already very gifted, but you’re still hardworking. I can see why Ms.
Vanderbilt has so many expectations of you,” Lucy said as she started the car.
Naomi chuckled but did not reply.
However, Lucy was talking. She kept talking to Naomi throughout the entire journey, and Naomi had no
other choice but to reply to her.
Suddenly, Lucy said, “You’re rather mysterious, actually.” Naomi was stunned. “Me?” “Yeah. You seem
like you’re keeping a lot of things inside of you. You refuse to share your feelings or your thoughts with
others, so they can’t understand you and have some misconceptions about you.” 1/2

“Misconceptions?” Naomi lowered her head. After a short while, she opened her mouth and said, ‘I just
don’t know what to talk about.”
“You can talk about anything!” Lucy laughed. “You need to blend into the large group, and only then can
you make more friends. By the way, where are your friends?
