The Boost Julian Gave Claire Bennett

It was her first time facing such a formidable senior executive. It would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous, but what she was even more curious about was why Mr. Sterling had called her up here. Could it be because of Claire Bennett taking over at Maison Verne? He wasn't going to make Claire Bennett quit, was he?

Molly Lee entered the conference room full of worry.

Wes Mercer was already seated in the middle. When he saw Molly Lee come in, he looked toward the seat in front of him. "Assistant Lee, have a seat."

Molly Lee sat down timidly. "Mr. Sterling, why did you call me up here?"

Wes Mercer handed the two files in his hand to Molly Lee and said, "Miss Song is managing Maison Verne now, but all the designers have left. There'll definitely be no way to compete with Nia after this. These are two top-ranked designers in the industry. Get in touch with them and have them come work at Maison Verne."

"I've already discussed salary and related matters with them. They've agreed to come, but they'll need to wait one month."

Hearing Wes Mercer's words, Molly Lee was so shocked her jaw nearly dropped!

This blatant backdoor arrangement stunned her too much. Wasn't this basically like being hungry and having someone feed you straight into your mouth?

She suspiciously took the files in her hands, and when she saw the names on them, she sucked in another sharp breath!

Riley Ross? Yvonne Parker??

These two were currently among the very best jewelry designers in the industry. Many classic bestselling designs at present had come from their hands. She had never expected Mr. Sterling to poach them into Maison Verne!

Wasn't the cheat code Mr. Sterling was giving Claire Bennett way too overpowered?

Molly Lee's little face flushed red with excitement, and the corners of her mouth were almost impossible to keep down. She quickly said, "Mr. Sterling! Thank you. I'll go tell Manager Song this good news right away!"

After saying that, Molly Lee got up and wanted to leave.

"Wait!"

Before she even reached the door, Wes Mercer called her back.

Molly Lee turned around in confusion and asked, "Mr. Sterling, do you have any other instructions?"

Wes Mercer instructed, "You absolutely can't let Miss Song know I helped find them. If she asks, just say these two came to us on their own, got it?"

Molly Lee agreed through gritted teeth. "...Uh... okay, got it!"

Under normal circumstances, the odds of jewelry designers like these coming to them on their own were practically zero.

Even Molly Lee felt this excuse was full of holes, but aside from explaining it this way, there didn't seem to be any other option.

...

Molly Lee returned to Maison Verne with the files, her heart uneasy.

At this moment, Maison Verne's design department was extremely quiet. Even the slightest sound could be infinitely amplified. Claire Bennett was sitting alone in front of her computer, doing something unknown, her expression extremely focused and serious.

"Manager Song." Molly Lee walked over, looked at the computer screen, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Without even raising her head, Claire Bennett said, "I'm contacting a designer I know well. She's exceptionally talented, but she ran into some setbacks before."

Thinking of what had happened before, Claire Bennett's eyes darkened heavily again.

Claire Bennett finished drafting an email and sent it, and only then did she let out a sigh of relief.

She looked at Molly Lee and asked, "How did the designer information I told you to investigate turn out?"

Molly Lee quickly handed the two files in her hands to Claire Bennett and said, "Manager Song, while I was looking for candidates, these two designers heard about your name, so they came to me on their own and said they wanted to join our Maison Verne. Take a look at their information..."

After saying that, Molly Lee felt especially guilty.

She was afraid Claire Bennett would notice something, but fortunately Claire Bennett simply took the files and began reading them, not seeming suspicious.

A moment later, Claire Bennett frowned and said, "Riley Ross and Yvonne Parker? Are you sure the two of them are coming?"

From what she knew, these two designers were extremely outstanding, and they had already built up considerable achievements at their current companies. If they jumped ship, that would mean giving up everything they had worked so hard for and starting over.

Even though Maison Verne was backed by Sterling International, it still wasn't exactly the first choice for designers in the industry.

Claire Bennett felt a little puzzled. Why would these two suddenly switch jobs?

Molly Lee gave a stiff smile and said, "Manager Song, you're Queen! Maybe they came because they heard of your reputation."

Was that so?

Claire Bennett still found it a little hard to believe. Although she did have some reputation, it probably wasn't to that extent. Still, having people join was a good thing for her.

Very quickly, Claire Bennett tossed everything out of her mind.

...

All the designers followed Hazel Lewis to Nia's office floor.

This place had originally been prepared by Sterling International for market expansion, but now it was being given directly to Nia as office space.

The surrounding environment was almost twice the size of Maison Verne, and it was decorated with great elegance and luxury. Quite a few people gasped in amazement as soon as they came in.

"Wow! Nia's office is huge!"

"If it weren't for Manager Lewis, we probably wouldn't have had this kind of opportunity."

"Yeah, Manager Lewis really is our savior!"
