Upon hearing this, Nadia didn't ask any further questions and accepted Lily's transfer request. "I'll notify you
once a decision is made. In the meantime, you can find something to do "okay" Lily left Nadia's office and
retumed to her desk, where she helped Queenie with se
sLasks.
Just before lunch, Nadia sent her a message informing her that Mr. Devereux wanted to speak with her.
Lily handed the completed documents to Queenie and made her way to the top flour to meet Terence. By the
tshe arrived, Terence had just hung up his coat.
Terence, it's not even lunchtyet," Lily said, closing the door behind her as she entered. "It's not really the
right tto discuss my design for the competition during working hours." "Let's talk about your transfer
request," Terence replied, his tired demeanor showing the lingering effects of the cold air outside

The HR department hadn't approved her request but had sought his approval instead. When he heard about it,
he immediately abandoned his work and rushed back
"lI want a proper reason."
Lily hadn't expected the issue to have reached him so quickly. "Because, originally, it was you who gavethe
chance to join Lupier
Terence was surprised she knew about this.
"Thank you for helping"
Betore she could finish, he interrupted her. "Lily, listen carefully. I'm not helping you I'm just giving you a fair
chance. Of all the people who interviewed, you were the most outstanding
"The company had already decided to hire you intemally. | just made sure they stuck with their original decision."
Falmess. The word echoed in Lily's mind, bringing with it a wave of bittemess.
She had never experienced taimess in her life. Growing up, she thought her parents would always be impartial,
but she soon realized their decisions always favored Hayden
She had hoped that when she married and started her own family, she could be a fair parent, giving her children
the justice she never had. But she never anticipated that her manage would turn out to be so unjust. She had
long since given up on expecting falmess. Yet, she didn't expect Terence to be the one to give her a taste of
fairness.
"Seize every opportunity. That's how you repayfor the taimess I've given you," Terence continued,
Terence thought Lily would face many more injustices in her future. As long as Sarah was around, talmess would
remain out of reach Although he had only spoken to Sarah once on the phone, Terence was sure that she was
someone who didn't follow the rules.
Lily realized that sometimes words couldn't fully express what she was feeling. She had to admit Terence was
right.
Nevertheless, she insisted, "I'll try my best and compete seriously, but when it comes to work, | want to decide
for myself."
Nadia already had her reservations about Lily, and that opinion couldn't be changed. Staying in the company and
facing more doubts and challenges would only cause more trouble for Terence.

In fact, the fairness Terence had offered her would be seen as an unfair advantage by others.
"Alright." Terence said, not pressing the matter further.
As an assistant designer, it was difficult to shine with the designer's shadow looming over. Returning to the
design industry was an essential step for her to continue learning and staying up-to-date with trends. What
would truly allow her to shine was participating in competitions across the country.
"It's off work time. How about | take you downstairs for dianer?" Terence suggested.
Lily knew a new restaurant had opened downstairs, and Queenie had recommended it several times for its great
food.
Since she was about to transfer away from headquarters, she wasn't worried about anyone noticing her
closeness to Terence.
Terence smiled faintly, taking off the coat he had just hung up. "Don't worry, | won't steal your bill today,"
"Let's go," Lily said, leaving the office. They both took the elevator downstairs, catching curious glances from
those around them. The one gaze Lily couldn't ignore was Hazel's. She stood just outside the entrance of tapier,
watching them.
