Love On Ice: Don’t Leave Me, My Charming Liar

Chapter 414: A delicate lucky charm tumbled from the envelope into her palm. Nyla pressed her hand to her mouth, tears spilling freely. Hayes had known everything, all along. "SKT Group's representative has arrived," Jackson announced, standing before Ethan's desk as Ethan carefully examined design samples from SKT Group. "Tell Lisbeth to handle this," Ethan instructed, his attention momentarily shifting to a gemstone ring that felt strangely familiar. The design... it reminded him of something. Could it be part of a set? He vividly recalled a particular piece of clothing designed by Nyla.

Was this simply a coincidence, or was it a signature style? "Check who at SKT Group designed this ring," Ethan ordered. Jackson hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement. "Understood." The negotiations between the two companies were viewed as merely preliminary. Neither side had yet engaged experts, and the talks seemed more like a procedural step than a serious attempt at forming a partnership. When Nyla was informed, she appeared unfazed. "Crestwave Group always approaches things this way," she said to Ellen, her secretary. "It's nothing to worry about.

Their terms aren't as favorable as Skycloud Group's, so we shouldn't proceed with them." Just then, her phone rang. It was Franklin. Nyla sighed. "Ella, where's your usual logical approach?" Franklin teased through the phone. Nyla replied, her expression serious, "Franklin, you know that remote monitoring isn't exactly the best approach." "I just wanted to ensure my employees are doing their jobs correctly. And it seems you have a bias against Crestwave Group," Franklin said casually. Nyla didn't contest his point.

She had no interest in collaborating with Crestwave Group, and even less so with Ethan. Therefore, she would much rather choose Skycloud Group over Crestwave.

They were Ulares' most resource-rich conglomerate-exactly what SKT Group needed. But Nyla's personal grievances led her to favor Skycloud Group. "I can't argue with that, Franklin," Nyla said. "Skycloud Group does have its merits." "Look, Ella, I'm all about the benefits. You know that by now.

We're in this for the profit, not the sentiment," Franklin reminded her. Nyla massaged her temples, feeling the onset of a headache. "Then why involve me in the negotiations if you've already decided?" "The situation in Ulares requires someone capable, and you're the ideal candidate," Franklin urged. "Franklin, if that's the case, then we should proceed with my recommendation," Nyla said, standing her ground. "Ella, personal feelings need to be set aside," Franklin insisted, then abruptly ended the call. . . .
