Ivy Holden and Jensen Morrison met up with Desmond Draper, and from there, they went directly to a jade processing factory under the Sterling Group.
This was a jade carving workshop registered under AURA Jewelry. It had been around for a long time and was once a leader in the industry, but a recent decline in orders had left the place all but deserted.
Desmond Draper led Ivy Holden and Jensen Morrison inside, sighing. "Sigh! Young Miss, this way, please. Back when President Zimmers was here, this place was bustling with activity. Business has been bad these past few years, and all the apprentices have quit. Only a few of us old-timers are left, too stubborn to leave, just loafing around and waiting to die."
"Don't say that, sir. The fact that you masters have stayed is the greatest support you could give me. With you here, I'm not afraid of anything," Ivy Holden said, her eyes scanning the entire place.
