Badum. Badum.
Diamond’s heart couldn’t help but excitedly race when she saw the envelope. Envelopes do tend to carry something meaningful. She was excited to see what it was.
Regina didn’t keep Diamond guessing for a long time as she pushed the envelope towards Diamond, saying, "I have been given this chance to pass this envelope to you. It’s from the club." And dint share much after that.
Diamond accepted the envelope and pursed her lips when she saw the logo on the envelope. It looked pretty with all the waves and the sun which was about to set. It made her feel as if she was seeing the ocean.
"Thank you for delivering it."
"It’s not a problem. Just doing my duty."
"Do you know what might be inside?"
"Since you haven’t participated in the initiation ceremony yet. I think that it has all the information that you need to know, as well as the temporary membership card you can use before you receive a formal one," Regina generously shared.
"Okay. That makes sense. I guess I will see what’s really in there later. Do you know where we are meeting this year?" Diamond asked curiously.
"The places always differ. I guess we should be receiving the location around July somewhere there to give us time to prepare for the travels," Regina doubtfully responded. After all, the location wasn’t known until the other half of the year.
Diamond accepted that reason and chatted with Regina for a bit more.
The two exchanged business cards and promised to work with each other in the future. Once the talks were done, Regina respectfully sent off Diamond and left her in the safe hands of her security team.
Regina watched smilingly as Diamond left the floor before she entered the office with Gio tailing her.
"How did it go?"
"Better than I expected. It’s not that scary talking to her. Such a lovely young girl!" Regina couldn’t help but praise Diamond.
Gio wasn’t expecting that. He looked astonished at Regina briefly before calming himself down.
"Then that’s good."
"Um. Withdraw the men. If she finds out, I am afraid that I might lose more than I can manage," Regina instructed Gio, recalling the spies she had placed around Diamond.
"I will do so, and Agatha?" Gio asked.
Regina tapped the desk rhythmically as she thought about the young girl, who was very good and a good seedling.
"Just let nature take its course. Let her choose what she wants. Also, send her an incentive. She had worked hard," Regina responded seriously.
"I will have that arranged."
Regina nodded as she looked at Gio and said, ’Also, check the auction item list and make sure that everything is perfect. We can’t afford any mistakes."
"That will be taken care of as well."
She was very glad to hear that and couldn’t help but think about Diamond’s a capable assistant. Who was that person?
That suddenly became a mystery that Regina would spend years trying to figure out, but to no avail.

Meanwhile, Diamond, after parting with Regina, returned to her suite filled with excitement at what she was about to see.
When she got to her room, she locked it and skipped to the bedroom, where she kicked off her heels and jumped on the bed without removing the expensive gown that left a lot of people in awe.
"Let’s see what we have here!" she mused as she tore off the envelope and revealed what was inside.
There was a small book, a well-crafted and designed card, which she believed was the temporary card and an invitation card.
She started with the invitation card.
[Dear Diamond Perry
It is with great pleasure that the Oasis Club administration, alongside the numerous sisters that have been with us for a long time, hereby invite you officially to attend the inauguration ceremony of not just you, but a few sisters as well.

’Are all temporary cards this good?’ she couldn’t help but doubt as she looked at the card, which seemed as if diamonds and crystals had been added to it.
