Chapter 77 A Perfect Opportunity.

Naomi was a signed actress under Starplay Entertainment and my original choice for the spokesperson.
As a rising star, Naomi had been making waves recently.
Her aura perfectly matched the theme of “Tee and Fire”
I had planned to let her take on this role, but then Annie happened.
Sure, Caden said, raising an eyebrow. “I trust your judgment.”
I nodded, then turned to Jasper. Jasper, would you mind lending us Naomi for a few days?”
“No problem.” Jasper agreed immediately and called Naomi right away.
After hanging up. Jasper looked at me. “Naomi will be here in half an hour. We should still make it in time to shoot the ad*
Thanks,” I said, patting Jasper’s shoulder with a smile.
Half an hour later. Naomi arrived right on time.
“Mr. Sullivan, is this real? Is Eclipse Group really considering me as a spokesperson?” Naomi asked in disbelief.
Jasper smiled faintly and said, “Why would I lie to you? You’re already here.”
“I didn’t mean it like that. It’s just… working with Eclipse Group is so sudden. It’s amazing,” she said, her excitement barely contained.
“Do your best, Jasper instructed firmly. “Don’t embarrass the company.”
“I’ll give it my all,” Naomi replied seriously.
*Send someone to Loe Studio to order a replacement diamond button, Caden instructed Yale.
Naomi’s figure was similar to Annie’s, so the custom–made dress designed for Annie should fit Naomi perfectly–except that the dress was missing a button.
Yale nodded and was about to contact Loe Studio when I stopped him.
“No need for that. Give me five minutes, and we’ll be ready to shoot.”
Everyone, including Caden, looked at me in confusion.
Under their astonished gazes, I picked up the dress and used scissors to remove the entire row of buttons from the back. Then, I rearranged them, threaded the needle swiftly, and sewed them on precisely.
My deft skills left everyone in the room stunned.

The dress was a Loe Studio creation, and unless one had absolute confidence in their abilities, who would dare cut off the buttons and reattach them?
True to her word, Rosaline finished in exactly live minutes. The nine buttons were perfectly aligned, with no trace of alteration.
“All done,” she said and put away the needle and thread into a nearby toolbox.
I walked overand asked quietly, “You know how to do this?”
Rosaline organized the tools, then turned back with a playful smile. “Did you forget I’m from Frostmoore? Growing up in the countryside, you have to learn a few skills to survive.”
She handed the dress to Naomi. “Go try it on.”
Naomi took the dress to the fitting room. When she emerged, it fit her perfectly, and she looked even more stunning than Annie had.
Rosaline’s decision was spot on. Naomi was undeniably the better choice.
With everything ready. Rosaline turned to the photographer. “Alright, we can start the shoot.”
Naomi seemed a bit nervous shooting her first major ad, her movements stiff and unpracticed.
Rosaline stopped the shoot a few times to guide her personally.
“Relax, don’t be nervous,” Rosaline said patiently, guiding Naomi with a gentle tone. “Just treat it like a regular practice session.”
I watched Rosaline work with such focus and care from the side. My fiancée truly was a woman of many talents.
Grandpa wasn’t wrong. I needed to take my time to uncover all of Rosaline’s strengths.
Fate is such a cruel thing. If it weren’t for Tessa, perhaps I could have developed something real with Rosaline.
The thought of Tessa sent a pang of melancholy through my heart.
I’d been searching for her for so many years, but my efforts had all been in vain.
Tessa, where are you now?
Rosaline’s POV:
Naomi was a quick learner. She gradually relaxed and met my expectations after a few tries.
“Good. Keep it up.” I said, smiling with satisfaction.
The shoot wrapped up two hours later.
Naomi sighed in relief and looked at me with gratitude. “Thank you for teaching me so much.”
1 offered a faint smile. “It’s my job.
“Be sure to arrive here by 9 am, tomorrow.” I reminded laster and Naomi. “We’ll be shooting on site

“Rosaline, are you free for dinner tonight? I can bring you those documents we discussed. His tone carried a subtle hint of anticipation.
Just as I was about to respond, Caden strode over and wrapped an arm around my waist. His deep voice rang out decisively. “She’s not free”
The intimate gesture, especially in front of Jasper, made me incredibly uncomfortable.
Was Caden marking his territory?:
But I wasn’t even his. What right did he have to decide for me?
Besides, Jasper’s dinner invitation was for business,
Jasper looked hurt as he turned silently and left.
Jasper…“I called after him, wanting to explain, but Caden’s grip tightened, holding me back.
1 glared at him in annoyance. Let go of me,”
“What’s the rush? Can’t wait to run off with Jasper?” Caden asked with a stormy expression. “What does that have to do with you?” I retorted, breaking free from his hold. “Stay out of my business from now on.”
Without waiting for a response, I turned on my heel and walked away, leaving Caden standing there, with his icy gaze fixed on my back.
