Chapter 971:

“Yes,” Gussie replied, nodding.

“I majored in computer engineering in college, but…”

Three years earlier, upon discovering that Harlee was the renowned head of Janessa Studio, Gussie had decided to pursue a double major and even chosen fashion design for her master’s degree.

However, Gussie kept this to herself, not wanting others to think she was currying favor.

After a brief moment, she simply said, “I have a deep passion for fashion design.”

Harlee nodded thoughtfully, a small smile forming on her lips.

“Would you consider applying for a different position?”

Gussie froze, baffled by Harlee’s suggestion. The onlookers exchanged curious glances, trying to make sense of the exchange.

“I believe Shadow Moon Group would be a better fit for you,” Harlee remarked nonchalantly.

The HR director was at a loss for words.

Harlee suggesting Gussie, a regular candidate, for a position at another company under the Sanderson Group was unexpected. The crowd collectively drew in a sharp breath. Shadow Moon Group was the country’s most elite fashion corporation, renowned for its unparalleled resources and exclusive team of top designers.

And now, Harlee was suggesting Gussie—a candidate they had looked down upon—should join Shadow Moon Group?

Gussie stood there, utterly floored. Shadow Moon Group represented the ultimate peak of her ambitions—a goal so lofty that she hadn’t even dared to dream about it. Yet, here was the industry’s icon, offering her a place. Was this even a decision to contemplate? She would stop at nothing to seize this opportunity.

Taken aback, Gussie stood frozen, her mouth agape, unable to utter a word.

Harlee quickly grasped Gussie’s silent consent behind that shocked expression.

“I will interpret your expression as a yes. Tomorrow, a representative from Shadow Moon Group will reach out to you. Prove your abilities to me. I bet you wouldn’t make me regret bringing you on board.”

Harlee’s decision wasn’t impulsive. She had seen a spark in Gussie’s design sketches that was absent in the work of other designers at Shadow Moon Group.

Gussie was a talent merely awaiting the right break. Under proper mentorship, she had all the makings of a future fashion icon.

Once Gussie’s matter was settled, Harlee turned her attention back to the HR director.

“Continue the recruitment drive.”

Harlee walked away without a backward glance, leaving unresolved the issue of the person sprawled on the floor and whether the interviews with the rumor-spreading candidates should proceed.

The HR director proved his competence, promptly addressing Kayla, who was still on the floor.

“Regarding the incident today with Miss Sanderson, seek legal advice and even sue her as you see fit.”

Kayla, absorbed in her grievances about Gussie’s acceptance at Shadow Moon Group, failed to realize her antagonizing Harlee had jeopardized her chances with the Sanderson Group.

Upon grasping the implications of the HR director’s words, Kayla was struck with shock. She didn’t need a lawyer to know she couldn’t sue Harlee. No lawyer would take on such a case, as their career in the legal world of Baythorn would be at risk.
