“Cynthia, it has to be you. You’re the most talented one here.”

“I think so too. Cynthia, we should congratulate you in advance, right?”

Cynthia smirked, already picturing herself reveling in their admiration. This was it. She would be the one CR Corporation chose.

The interviewer scanned the group before finally smiling.

“After careful consideration, we have selected Linsey Riley for the position. Congratulations, Linsey!”

“What?! No way!”

Cynthia’s voice shot up, her disbelief echoing through the room. She had been so certain she would be the one to pass. Yet, against all logic, the arrogant newcomer—Linsey—had taken the spot instead.

Linsey, equally stunned, blinked in disbelief. Had she misheard? She wanted this so badly that her mind struggled to accept it as reality. But then, the interviewer stepped forward, offering her a warm smile.

“Linsey, congratulations on passing the interview.”

Joy flickered across Linsey’s face, her chest tightening with excitement. It took her a second to find her voice.

“Thank you… Thank you so much!”

She had done it—she had gotten into her dream company. This meant she could finally help Collin with his debts. Around her, the other designers murmured in shock.

“How is this even possible?”

“It’s really her. I didn’t expect her work to be that good.”

“A newcomer outscored Cynthia? That’s unreal.”

Cynthia, frozen in place for several seconds, suddenly let out a furious cry. She stormed toward the interviewers, her face twisted with outrage.

“There has to be a mistake!”

Her glare snapped to Linsey, who was still basking in her victory, and her voice dripped with venom.

“Linsey cheated! I demand a review of the results! There’s no way my designs lost to hers!”

The lead interviewer’s expression darkened, his patience wearing thin.

“Cynthia Keller, are you questioning our ability to evaluate talent? If that’s the case, perhaps you should take my job instead.”

Cynthia stiffened, her breath catching. She clamped her mouth shut, too intimidated to say another word.

This interviewer was a key figure in CR Corporation’s Fashion Design Department, someone Linsey knew she couldn’t afford to offend.

Internally, Cynthia seethed, “Curse you, Linsey.”

Once the other designers had left, the lead interviewer motioned for Linsey to approach.

“You don’t have any conflicting plans, do you? If not, come by tomorrow morning to finalize the onboarding process. Someone will guide you through the company and help you get started.”

“Alright. Thank you,” Linsey replied, a smile tugged at her lips. After exchanging a few words, she exited the room, her heart still fluttering with joy.

Securing a position at CR Corporation felt like the happiest event of the last six months.

Her thoughts turned to Collin, whom she hadn’t seen in a while. If he was home, she couldn’t wait to share this triumph with him. Perhaps it would help him trust her more and bring them closer.
