Giving in to Her Rebellious Streak Chapter 17

Chapter 17  Yasmin entered the president’s office in a state of confusion. The secretary said, “Please wait here for a moment, Ms. Starr. Mr. Burke will be with you in a short while.”  Yasmin said, “Okay.”  Ten minutes later, someone opened the office door. A tall figure walked in. Yasmin smelled a faint minty scent and turned around to see a tall, handsome man behind her. It was Ivan, the man who’d helped pick up her drafts earlier.  “It’s you?” She was surprised.  Ivan smiled. “What a small world.”  Yasmin immediately realized who he was. She asked politely, “Are you Mr. Burke?”  “Yep.” Ivan walked over to the couch and sat down, looking like he wanted to have a proper talk with her. “Please have a seat, Ms. Starr.”  Yasmin returned to her senses. She sat down and handed him her drafts. Ivan took some time to go through them. Then, he praised, “You’re very talented, Ms. Starr.”  He smiled. “I’m sure you’re aware that our company is looking into setting up a line that focuses on affordable luxury.”  “Yes.” It was what she was here for.  “I think your designs suit our new line perfectly. Would you be interested in working with us, Ms. Starr?”  Yasmin was pleasantly surprised. She was more than interested, of course. With NAS Group’s investment, her designs could reach places she never would’ve imagined. She’d be a player in the international landscape. She couldn’t help thinking that it had happened too easily,  though.  The fact that her dream could come true in such a short time made her feel like she was  dreaming.  At her hesitance, Ivan asked, “What’s wrong? Don’t you have faith in your capabilities, Ms. Starr?”  “I just think it’s very surreal,” Yasmin said truthfully.  Ivan smiled faintly. “You don’t have anything to worry about. You’re more than good  +15 BONUS  enough for the job. If you don’t have any issues, we can start negotiating the terms of the collaboration.”  Yasmin said cautiously, “I’m gonna need to discuss this with my business partner, Mr. Burke.  She didn’t dare to agree immediately. There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. He couldn’t possibly be thinking of making her sleep her way to the top, could he?  Ivan seemed to have read her mind. He smiled and said, “Rest assured, Ms. Starr, that we’re a proper company. We don’t pull underhanded tricks.”  Yasmin smiled awkwardly. To dispel her doubts, Ivan continued, “How about I show you around the company?”  1  “Okay.” It was a good idea. She could take the opportunity to understand NAS Group.  And so,  Ivan and his secretary brought Yasmin around the company. They even invited her to watch one of the company’s internal fashion shows.  “We’re actually preparing for an upcoming fashion show, so you came at the right time, Ms. Starr. You can check it out to get a feel of what our company’s like.” Ivan took her to the 45th floor.  People were bustling around when they arrived, getting ready for the show. Giselle stood on the catwalk. She wore a white evening gown as she chatted with the staff.  Yasmin was a little confused. What was she doing here?  “That’s Giselle O’Shea, a renowned pianist in Merania. She’s here as a special guest. She’s the opening performance for the fashion show.” Ivan cleared her confusion.  Yasmin nodded. “I see.” Π  Giselle had already seen her and smiled while greeting her. “What are you doing here, Yasmin?”  “I came to discuss a collaboration with NAS Group,” Yasmin said politely.  sac  Giselle nodded. Her gaze landed on Ivan. It was filled with something unfathomable. “Did you come here with Ivan?”  Ivan? The fact that Giselle could address him with such familiarity meant that they probably knew each other.
