Doreen quickly responded, “Yes, everything’s fine.


    ”


    Noticing Ste’s distress, Doreen tried to cheer her up.


    “Actually, the studio’s profits have doubled this month.


    ”


    She hoped this news would bring a smile to Ste’s face.


    Ste felt a little better after hearing this news, her heavy heart lightening slightly.


    She managed a smile, her voice gentle yet resolute.


    “That’s great news.


    Your hard work hasn’t gone unnoticed.


    Everyone will receive a bonus this month.


    ”


    “Thank you on behalf of the team.


    ” Doreen smiled gratefully.


    “If there’s nothing else, feel free to head back to the studio,”


    Ste said kindly.


    While Fernando looked for other embroiderers, Ste nned to contact the designers she


    knew to find a suitable match.


    As Doreen packed up to leave, she couldn’t resist asking, “Are you looking for an embroiderer?”


    Ste recalled that Doreen had studied design too.


    Perhaps she had connections in that realm.


    Eagerly, Ste inquired, “Do you know any embroiderer who could lend us a hand?”


    Doreen offered a sheepish grin and replied, “I did incorporate some embroidery in my final project before graduation, but I’m hardly an expert.


    I never really mastered it.


    However, my professor is quite skilled.


    ”


    Ste’s spirits lifted at her words.


    “Could you share your professor’s contact information? We urgently need toplete a project, and Prosperity Group is prepared to offer a handsome fee for your professor’s services.


    ”


    “It’s really not about the money…” Doreen began, hesitating.N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    “My professor often travels during her downtime.


    I’m not sure if she’s in Seamarsh at the moment.


    ”


    Ste’s brow furrowed with concern, yet she persisted, “Could you try reaching out to her?”


    Doreen nodded, willing to assist.


    She quickly sent a message to her professor.


    With Ste’s guidance, she detailed the project.


    Her professor responded promptly, “That shouldn’t be too difficult.


    ”


    When Ste saw the message, her eyes sparkled like those of a drowning man spotting a lifeline.


    She grasped Doreen’s hand, her voice tinged with urgency.


    “Please find out where your professor is.


    If she can help with this issue, I’ll head over right now.


    ”


    Doreen nodded, quickly messaging her professor for the address.


    Once she got a response, she looked up at Ste, her expression hopeful.


    “She’s willing to help, but she might not be back in Seamarsh until tonight.


    ”


    “That’s perfectly fine!” Ste’s reply came with a burst of enthusiasm.


    “I can wait.


    As evening drew near, Doreen received confirmation that her professor had returned.


    Without dy, she escorted Ste to meet her.
