With a palpable sense of relief, Linsey settled into the designated interview location. Around her, a crowd had already begun to assemble outside.

“Have you heard? I overheard that the CEO of CR Corporation might grace today’s interview,” murmured someone close to Linsey, their voice barely a whisper.

Another candidate nearby couldn’t hide their astonishment.

“Really? If that’s the case, we definitely need to treat this interview with the utmost…”

Linsey’s curiosity was piqued.

The CEO of CR Corporation? Could this really be the mysterious founder who single-handedly catapulted CR Corporation to its pinnacle? Her knowledge of him was confined to the snippets she had found online; she had never encountered him face-to-face.

Suddenly, a voice cut through the mounting anticipation.

“He’s arrived; he’s here! The CEO of CR Corporation has just walked in!”

As a few employees passed by, they offered their respectful greetings to a man who had just entered.

“Good morning, Mr. Wade.”

Driven by an irresistible urge, Linsey craned her neck, managing to glimpse the man at the center of everyone’s attention. A group had formed a tight circle around him as he advanced.

Catching a clear view of his face, Linsey stood frozen, utterly taken aback.

Linsey’s eyes flew open, shock etching her face.

Nearby, encircled by a bustling crowd, stood none other than Dustin—the same man who had recently tangled with her in a car accident!

What a staggering coincidence!

She wrestled with her rising emotions, striving to keep her face impassive.

Subtly, she angled her head to the side, carefully avoiding Dustin’s gaze to escape his notice.

The last thing she expected was to see him here.

Observing how the CR Corporation’s executives deferred to him, she had no doubts left—Dustin was the mysterious founder.

Accepting this twisted reality was challenging. She clenched her jaw, her mind replaying their abrasive encounter on the street.

His carefree tone and brash demeanor had skirted the edges of disrespect…

The mysterious founder of CR Corporation had once been her inspiration, the very reason she had aspired to excel in design. Was it conceivable that her inspiration was as arrogant as Dustin?

As Linsey pondered this, a group of executives stepped up to Dustin, their voices tinged with respect.

“Mr. Wade, if you would follow us, please.”

Dustin gave a slight nod and followed the group, oblivious to Linsey, who was tucked away in a shadowy corner.

From her vantage point, Linsey watched them disappear into the distance. She let out a soft sigh of relief, her face etched with a mix of emotions that were hard to decipher.

As soon as the group left, the crowd waiting for the interview picked up their conversations again.

“You see that man? That’s Dustin Wade, the acting CEO of CR Corporation. The founder’s a no-show; it’s always Mr. Wade who shows up at these major events.”

“Mr. Wade is not only strikingly handsome, but his aura is absolutely commanding. Even from afar, his presence is distinctly imposing.”
