Gabrielle already felt like she were friends with Melissa the first time they met. She liked her a lot. Even though Melissa had made it to the top of the industry, she wasn't arrogant at all.
Instead, she was very easy-going, making Gabrielle admire her all the more.
"Are you here by yourself, Ms. Glyn?" Gabrielle asked curiously.
"No, I came here with my team yesterday after we finished a meeting with our customer. I decided to stay by the seaside for a few days. I didn't expect to run into you here, Gabrielle." Melissa tightly held Gabrielle's hand and smiled.
"Neither did I, Ms. Glyn. In that case... can I invite you to dinner?" Gabrielle offered excitedly.
"How long will you be staying here?" Melissa took a quick glance at Westley, who was standing a few meters away from them.
Because of the history between the Walker and Morris family, Melissa understood why Westley was aloof towards her.
But she really liked Gabrielle, the daughter-in-law of the Morris family. They got along quite well, like mother and daughter.
Mother and daughter?
She thought of the bitter past. If nothing had happened to her daughter, she would be the same age as Gabrielle now.
Sadly, there was still no news about her daughter's whereabouts. The Walker family had already given up searching for her a long time ago.
"We planned on staying for a few days as well, Ms. Glyn. We never got to go on a honeymoon after we got married. So this time, we thought we could do it in Thailand," Gabrielle explained.
She didn't want to lie to Melissa, but she couldn't reveal the real reason why they were in Bangkok either.
"I see. There's going to be a jewelry exhibition coming up, Gabrielle. I'm an invited guest. Do you want to come with me?" Melissa asked.
Gabrielle was ecstatic about the invitation. "Really, Ms. Glyn? Can I?"
Gabrielle couldn't contain herself. It was a great opportunity for students like her. She wouldn't pass up an opportunity to keep learning about jewelry design.
If Melissa was invited to be there, it meant that the exhibition was going to be spectacular.
Newcomers wouldn't usually be able to participate in such grand events. The qualifications to get invited were really strict.
"Of course. I'm really happy we met here today. It's not just a coincidence you're also here. It was meant to be. So, will you come?" Melissa asked with a smile.
"Of course, Ms. Glyn! I want to go with you. Thank you for giving me this chance." Gabrielle hugged Melissa tightly.
"Don't thank me, dear. It was God who gave you this chance. I want you to have fun and learn a lot at the exhibition, alright? It will be very helpful to you." Melissa chuckled gently, patting her on the back.
"I sincerely thank you, Ms. Glyn. I will learn as much as I can and I won't fail you." Gabrielle promised.
"Do it for yourself, my dear. Do what you love most. You don't need any validation from me. I only wish the best for you." Melissa cheered her on.
Gabrielle was smiling happily like a child.
This was the reason why Melissa liked Gabrielle so much. She was simple and pure. Her passion for jewelry design was admirab
le and she was diligent and hardworking.
Melissa saw the potential in Gabrielle and believed she could just be the future of the jewelry design industry.
Every time she would look at Gabrielle, it reminded her of her old self. Her enthusiasm for jewelry design and eagerness to learn.
