Enchanted By His Charm

Professor Tim shook his head helplessly and felt sorrowful.

Blair was smart, and he asked, "It seems that the police have posted a request to you."

Irish sniffled, "The police have put it on record, but they need a psychological assessment report on the criminal."

"If I were you, I would not do it," Cheska frowned, "He is such an inhumane person. Even if others hurt him, he should respect other people's lives and not kill others. Doctor Irish, you'd better be careful."

Irish sighed, "It is our work."

Professor Tim nodded, "You are right. Sometimes there is no difference between psychologists and doctors. What we give are facts, irrelevant to one's identities and backgrounds."

After the case, Irish persuaded Bernert to receive medical treatment in the hospital. Having known the state of his illness, he finally agreed after a long silence. Irish could finally be relieved. However, as she was hesitating to tell Joseph what happened, she accidentally discovered that Bernert was dismissed by Joseph!

Lilith told her this news. At the time, she was taking medicine, and then she drove to the Runestone Group directly. However, she was then told that Bernert had come back to work, but he made a mistake while cutting a diamond and damaged the perfectness of the original stone. Joseph came back from the business trip and was extremely enraged. He not only requested Bernert compensate for the original stone's value but also dismissed him later. Irish wanted to defend Bernert since she knew his situation well. However, Lilith stopped her and said prudently, "Joseph is not in the office, he went to the cutting center directly after landing."

Irish sneered, "So he went to see whether Bernert had stolen the diamond?"

"Definitely not. Do not think of him as so bad. Bernert caused damage to the original stone, and it is necessary to deal with the client. So he went to the cutting center to cut the diamond personally."

"Ah?"

"Joseph is the only person other than Bernert who can cut the diamond with blue flames," Lilith said with great pride.

Irish remembered that Joseph and Bernert learned from the same master because Joseph's company started its business mining diamonds. He had been sent to learn how to grind humble stones into priceless diamonds since he was a child. There were only a few cooperative and trustworthy diamond cutters in this business, and Joseph's father thought further ahead, sending his son to learn to be a master diamond cutter for his own company.

Joseph made it, unfortunately, but the company of his family no longer existed.

The cutting and grinding center of the Runestone Group was just a general term. In fact, it included several departments, and not all its staff were cutters. They were drillers, scribers, polishers, and cutters. A lot of the diamonds that had just been mined without gloss looked as common as quartz. It was only through the concerted efforts of all staff that the sparkling diamonds that made the Runestone Group famous could be created.

When she saw Joseph, he was starting the sawing work of an original diamond. Because he had not changed his clothes after he got off the plane, he wore a simple white shirt with black trousers, the simplest and most formal dress, but he was different from the workers here.

He did not see Irish because he was concentrating on monitoring each step of the process.

Through the glass, Irish did not come forward, watching the man's every move. His face looked so charming and handsome due to the concentration he was focusing on, so a simple white shirt set him off, different and handsome. But, not surprisingly, his eyes were a bit bloodshot, and his eyebrows showed slight tiredness. She was aware of his religious devotion to work.

For any original diamond, there are three processes that are essential, which are marking, faceting, and polishing. The position and angle of the facet produced by a finely cut diamond are accurately and carefully calculated to give the diamond the greatest brilliance.

Irish knew more or less about the process of drilling and grinding, which was the result of a few days and nights of reviewing examination material. The reason she knew was not to end up being a good grinder but for a good bonus.

It was heard that the marking process of Joseph's original diamond was over three months, and it was also cut for more than three months. It could be seen that the drilling sample would become a diamond in a big carat ring or necklace. Perhaps because of that, when Bernert made a mistake, it ignited Joseph's anger. Otherwise, an ordinary diamond that only took a few minutes to mark was not worth getting angry over. Thinking about this, and especially seeing that Joseph did it in person, Irish started to worry about Bernert's future and wondered what would happen to him.

Diamonds are the hardest material in the world, so they can only be cut by other diamonds. The most demanding job of peeling and polishing ultimately fell into the hands of Joseph.

In this process, it was the most important part of the diamond formation. For several hours, Joseph sat next to the cast-iron disc coated with diamond powder and lubricating oil, concentrating on grinding the diamond facets. Only the most accurate grinding would display the brilliance of the most valuable diamonds. Therefore, every bright diamond contained the endless wisdom of the cutter, and it was this second life that the cutter gave to the diamond.

Irish finally understood the reason for the formation of Joseph's character.

He could sit down for a few hours to shape a diamond, from the darkest stone to the most priceless diamond, which was a very painstaking task.

A little neglect would ruin the future of a beautiful diamond. It was because he knew that, and had been exposed to it since childhood, that an unkind, demanding personality formed from his work.

Because of this, people were not allowed to make mistakes, even small errors were not permitted.

When the work came to an end, Joseph pushed through the door, and it hit Irish gently. At such a close distance, she saw the spreading fatigue in his eyes.

"Why are you here?" He was a little surprised that he hadn't expected her arrival.
