“I … I need to tell you something.”

Dawn noticed her awkward expression and thought something serious had happened. “What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing serious but … “Janice took a deep breath, the look in her eyes shifting to a determined one.

She continued, “I found out a while back that Mr. Jackson is the boss of Dreammaker Studios and your fiancé. Ms. Greenwood told me not to say anything to you about it, so I didn’t. I just wanted to apologize, I’m sorry!”

Dawn had thought it was something more serious. “Don’t worry about it, it’s not a big deal.”

At the end of the day, it was all on Ethan.

Dawn had already forgiven the main culprit, so naturally, she wouldn’t hold it against anyone else.

Janice blinked. She couldn’t help herself and asked, “But I did try to take advantage of the situation. You’re not mad at me?”

“Take advantage? For what?”

“To get a promotion and a raise!” Janice answered.

Everything Janice had done so far was to get Ethan to notice her talent through Dawn.

Dawn really didn’t notice?

“I know. It’s alright,” Dawn spoke.

What?”

Dawn looked at Janice’s stunned expression and couldn’t help letting out a chuckle. “It’s completely normal for someone with talent to seek out opportunities. Besides, you didn’t do anything that hurt me. You merely used available resources. There’s nothing wrong with that.”

After all, that was how the world worked. Whoever had more resources would have more opportunities.

One couldn’t just follow the rules and expect a miracle to happen.

However, Dawn’s reaction surprised Janice.

Janice let out a sigh of relief and patted her chest. “I was so scared because I thought you would be angry. I didn’t sleep well last night because I was worrying about how I should apologize to you.”

Dawn tugged at her suitcase and signaled to Janice to walk ahead of her. “Even if I’m angry, I wouldn’t be angry at you. You’re just following instructions. You didn’t do anything wrong.”

Janice turned. Dawn was facing the hallway, the sunlight falling across her pretty features.

Honestly, Dawn would likely do very well as a celebrity due to her exceptional looks. She’d be a top–tier visual no matter where she went.

However, she wasn’t just a pretty face.

Dawn was young, talented, and had real substance.

Maybe it’s better to be her friend instead of trying to win over others.

Dawn noticed Janice staring and smiled, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” Janice shook her head, smiling widely before speaking again, “I’m just wondering when you and Mr. Jackson will be getting married.”

Dawn raised her eyebrows and didn’t answer.

She thought about the gift she had prepared for Ethan.

I guess it will happen soon.

After returning from the resort, everyone dove headfirst into work, and the entire design department was swamped.

As the lead designer, Dawn sometimes stayed overnight at the office to make sure everything was progressing smoothly, with no errors.

Ethan wished she wouldn’t work so hard, but he knew he couldn’t stop her. Ultimately, the only thing he could do was run around for her, making sure to send her food and drinks, and even throwing in some romantic surprises once in a while.

In the blink of an eye, they were almost halfway through January.

While Dawn was resting, she suddenly remembered that Ethan’s birthday was approaching.

She quickly called Aydin Willis, the craftsman whom she had previously contacted.

Aydin was eccentric, and Dawn had only been able to ask him to make the rings because they had briefly met when she was in college. Otherwise, she was sure he wouldn’t do it.

“Mr. Willis, are the rings done?”

Dawn could hear music from the other end of the line, mixed with other background noise. Aydin snorted quietly, “Of course. I did it personally. But seriously… your design is way too difficult. Carving out such a small piece of onyx and embedding it into platinum? That’s…”

Aydin trailed off, almost like he’d forgotten what he wanted to say.

Finally, he seemed to find the words, “Literally mission impossible!”

Dawn didn’t say anything.

She held her phone away from her ear for a while, waiting for Aydin to finish before holding it against her ear again. “That’s because I trust your skills. No one else will be able to achieve what I want.”

“Obviously!”

Aydin snorted with pride, “When are you coming to pick them up?”

“Tomorrow,” Dawn answered.

The next morning, after her morning meeting in the office, Dawn went to get the rings.

Dawn had gotten inspired after deciding to propose to Ethan on his birthday. As such, she had gotten these rings made.

She was ready to take their relationship to the next level.

She opened the ring box, revealing two intricate rings inside.

The piece was crafted entirely from platinum, with an additional high–quality onyx piece set
