Chapter 96
The car stopped in front of Taylor Jewelry. Kennedy and Maisie got out together and walked
toward the main entrance.
Taylor Jewelry was the biggest jewelry company in Zlokova, with its subsidiaries being in the top 10 in the country. Anyone who would want to be at the top of the industry would have to b e in a partnership with them.
A lot of the materials used by Taylor were monopolized. The rough diamonds and opals used could not be found anywhere else, but not everyone could become the best supplier for rough stones because of the requirements on price and quality.
Kennedy went to the front desk to inform the staff of their arrival. When their identity was confirmed, they were brought into the VIP lounge.
There were two people in the VIP lounge who seemed to be from other companies. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
“Please take a seat. We’ll get to you shortly.”
Kennedy and Maisie walked to the couch on the other side and took their seats when the staff left.
The woman sitting across the room was applying lipstick while looking at a mirror. She stared at Kennedy and Maisie for a split second, put her lipstick away while smiling, and said, “You’re here to work with Taylor too. Where are you from?”
Kennedy politely nodded and smiled. “We’re from Soul Jewelry Studio.”
“Soul Jewelry Studio?”
The woman looked at the man next to her, rolled her eyes, and laughed. “I’ve never heard of such a company.”
Maisie picked up the cup to drink some water, her lashes fluttering.
The woman got up and walked toward them, “Taylor is the biggest jewelry company in Zlokova. How would you even dream of working with them when no one knows about you?”
“La Perla Group has never heard of this Soul Jewelry Studio that you mentioned. Did you lie your way into this?”
La Perla?
Maisie frowned. La Perla meant pearl, a jewelry company that was as famous as Hailey & Co., but she didn’t expect them to be interested in partnering with Taylor.
“Just because you‘ve never heard of us doesn’t mean that we don’t exist.” Maisie put down her cup and asked lazily, “But are you from La Perla?”
The woman crossed her arms. “Have you not heard of me before? My name is Pearl Santiago La Perla belongs to my family.”
Kennedy frowned. “You are Antonio Santiago’s daughter?”
Pearl looked toward him. “You know my father?”
“No.” Even if he did know him, he wouldn’t want to admit to it anymore.
Pearl stared at them. “I guessed as much. My father is a famous man in the industry. How would someone like you know him?”
After a while, a neatly dressed woman came in and checked the documents in her hands, “M s. Santiago, please come with me.”. Seeing that she had been given a slot, Pearl smiled at them. “I’m sorry, La Perla definitely has a bigger chance of working with Taylor.”
Pearl arrogantly left the VIP room. Maisie turned to look at Kennedy and said, “Uncle Kennedy, why do I have a feeling that this lady isn’t her father’s favorite?”
Maisie wasn’t part of the jewelry business in Zlokova, but she knew a thing or two.
The chairman of La Perla, Antonio Santiago, was indeed famous in the business, but he was famous for being humble, charming, and being able to have a great relationship with pretty much everyone in the circle.
