Chapter 16
And yesterday, she provoked him during that terrible encounter. He must be itching to give her a good scolding.
Brian swept his gaze over everyone, then paused at Rosalyn. His eyes lingered for a beat or two.
“The meeting starts now.”
It was Edwin’s cue to preside over the meeting.
“Hello, everyone. | am Edwin Byrd, Mr. Hughes’ assistant. From today onward, S.W. Studio will be under Hughes Group, and...”
Rosalyn kept her head down and listened as Edwin rambled on and on. Apparently, the operations would continue as they
always did, and their salaries would be bumped up in accordance to the policies of Hughes Group.
‘She knew that Brian was filthy rich, of course, but why did he squander half a billion just to buy her studio?
“As the newest member of Hughes Group, your first project shall be the decoration of the Technology Center. Rosalynn Fuller will
take charge of the operation.” @
Rosalynn’s head jerked up at the mention of her name, and she gaped at Edwin in surprise.
“Me?”
“Yes,” Edwin replied without batting an eye.
“Are you perhaps mistaken? Why are you making Rosalyn the head of this project? She is just an assistant designer.”
This came from Giselle Powell, the director of the design department. She had a stony expression and a straightforward manner.
Edwin looked at Brian and waited for the boss’s response.
Brian, in turn, glanced at Rosalynn.
“Keegan has specifically recommended Rosalynn to me. He said that she is a rare genius in the world of design. Why, do you
have any problems with her taking charge of the project?”
“But—”
“Are you trying to question my decision?”
Brian raised an eyebrow at Giselle. His tone was dry, but it carried a hint of challenge.
Scared out of her wits, Giselle shut her mouth and ducked her head.
“Does anyone else have a problem? If not, this meeting is adjourned.”
Brian stood up and turned to Rosalynn. “Come to my office.”
