So much for not looking down on her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna was so angry that her chest rose and fell sharply.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gritting her teeth, she snapped, \u201cEven if the outside world is as brutal as it wants, it\u2019s my choice to be there! What\u2019s wrong with wanting to earn some money with my own abilities? I\u2019d willingly put up with it even if I don\u2019t make a lot per month and have to sleep on the streets!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWith your own abilities?\u201d Clayton looked down at her from above, a somewhat condescending look in his eyes. \u201cWithout the Hale or Winger family, do you really think you can land a good job?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJust you wait!\u201d Sienna spun around angrily and strode off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Having witnessed the entire argument between them, Rowan offered a word of advice. \u201cMr. Hale, Mrs. Hale just wants to prove she\u2019s not useless. If you\u2019d said something nicer, she would\u2019ve let it pass.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton stared coldly at Sienna\u2019s retreating figure. \u201cShe\u2019s just had it too easy for too long. Once she\u2019s had a taste of hardship,\u00a0<\/p>\n
she\u2019ll come back.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He instructed Rowan, \u201cGo check which company she\u2019s interviewing with today. See if it\u2019s legitimate. Given how stupid and stubborn she is, she may be scammed without even realizing it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rowan silently ranted inwardly, \u201cIf you\u2019d just told Mrs. Hale that you were worried about her being scammed, she wouldn\u2019t have stormed off so angrily.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At 2:00 pm, Sienna arrived right on time and noticed that the waiting area only had half as many applicants as last time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A young woman with her hair tied in a ponytail and dressed in a simple but professional outfit leaned over to talk to Sienna.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She whispered, \u201cAre you nervous? I heard that out of the 20 of us, only three will be chosen.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna smiled slightly and played along. \u201cYeah, I\u2019m nervous.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
If she couldn\u2019t find a decent job, Clayton would absolutely belittle her endlessly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The young woman introduced herself again. \u201cI\u2019m Zoe Watt. We met briefly last time, but you probably don\u2019t remember me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna took a closer look and found that she did seem vaguely familiar, so she nodded politely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lowering her voice like she was whispering secrets, Zoe added, \u201cI heard the difficulty\u2019s gone up this round. Four interviewers will take turns asking questions that test our professional skills from every aspect. Ms. Sanderson has veto power. Whether we get in or not mostly depends on her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As she spoke, the HR representative pushed the door open and called, \u201cSienna, you\u2019re up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Inside the conference room, the atmosphere was solemn. Four interviewers sat behind a long table, with Neriah in the center. She was dressed in a sharp black suit that day.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The questions were indeed far trickier than last time. Sienna handled most of them smoothly, but she stumbled on a few highly specialized ones.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the end, Neriah asked a novel question. \u201cIn spatial design, how do you think emotion should be expressed through materials and lighting?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A hint of excitement flashed across Sienna\u2019s eyes. She had read about this in Neriah\u2019s book, \u201cEmotional Expression in Spatial Design\u201c, just yesterday. Drawing on the theories and insights from the book, she added her own view and spoke confidently and at length.\u00a0<\/p>\n
V CLOSE\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 54\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
After listening to Sienna, Neriah nodded thoughtfully.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once the interview ended, the HR representative asked her to wait outside for the final results.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Sienna sat in the waiting area, she scrolled through her phone to pass the time. Trending topics popped up, and right at the top was \u201c#MelodyFosterTheWhiteSwan\u201c.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She clicked in and saw that every post was a photo of Melody in her stage makeup. Dressed in a pure white ballet costume with her makeup done flawlessly, she had been crowned online as \u201cthe most beautiful Wynter\u201c.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The comment section was full of praise for her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat tearful smile in the fire scene made me cry on the spot. This is textbook\u2013level acting. There\u2019s hope for the entertainment industry!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve seen three versions of \u2018The White Swan.\u2018 A certain idol played Wynter poorly. Melody is the real swan. Even every strand of hair was acting.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI saw the live performance. I have no more regrets in this life. She\u2019s breathtakingly beautiful in person, and her figure is insanely good!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cA friend of mine works at the theater. He said a mysterious admirer rushed backstage to give her 999 white roses. Melody is just too charming.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe won\u2019t get many chances to see her in theater anymore. How sad. I\u2019m all in for \u2018The Chronicle of Fallen Stars!\u2018 Production team, hurry up and release the character stills!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
