During Emerald's junior year, she was looking for an internship. She had several companies in mind, but Ivy pulled the "big sister" card and convinced her to join her company.
Emerald was shocked to discover after signing the contract that Ivy wasn't just any employee—she was actually the president of a renowned global brand, and she had made Emerald her assistant!
Emerald quickly adapted to the job and became a vital part of several successful series. Ivy wanted Emerald to become the chief designer, but Emerald declined. When Ivy found out that Emerald had left the design industry to become a kindergarten teacher, she was furious and even called her an idiot.
They parted on bad terms, but Ivy still sent gifts every Christmas and New Year.
Emerald had often thought about what it would be like to see Ivy again, expecting Ivy to tease her about her decision or criticize her for wasting her talent. Instead, Ivy suddenly pulled her into a tight hug.
