Nora quickened her pace,

She reached the door of the office building faster than she expected.

There, waiting by the entrance, was Leo,

ide Starline Studios:

Inside the office of the well known studio, named Starline Studios, a crowd of coworkers had gathered by the

windows.

They whispered excitedly as they watched Nora and Leo walk in together..

One of them asked, “Who is that wo

woman lagging our general manager? Is she his girlfriend?”

Another voice replied. Oh my god, did you see her face? It is so beautiful, like a moonlight goddess descending

to Earth.”

A third person added. “And it seems like she is the new employee who is going to be hired today.”

Everyone was chattering in excitement ext

except for one man who sat grimly at his workstation.

A coworker nudged him and said. “Drew, aren’t you coming over to see her?”

Drew shook his head slowly, his face set in displeasure. He had a serious look in his eyes.

Linda, being Drew’s old schoolmate, had been introduced to the company through Drew when she wanted to join

She had soon replied to the message, saying:

He had been surprised to hear Linda say that Leo did not need her for personal reasons.

In that moment, Drew realized the truth.

The information that he had gathered suggested that Leo had gone so far as to give Linda the position that was

meant for her in order t his lover to enter the company

Drew’s expression turned sour as he understood what had happened

He felt that this decision was unfair to Linda, who had worked hard to earn her reputation

“Yes,” Leo admitted with a start. “I will explain more about that later.”

Drew’s eyes narrowed as he looked directly at Nora

“Linda just earned her doctorate this

year and is already making a nfor herself in the design world. If Ms. Nora was able to push her aside to

enter the company, then her personal ability must be extraordinary, right?”

In his mind, he had already decided that Nora was Leo’s new lover. He recalled how Linda had mentioned over

the text that Leo was not hiring her fo personal reasons.
