Chapter 154:

“Ensure there are no mistakes,” Kyla said, taking a sip of her red wine.

“Absolutely,” the man answered before discreetly leaving.

Unbeknownst to Sadie, Kyla was plotting against her.

The next day, Sadie reviewed the job applications with a furrowed brow, finding it challenging to locate suitable candidates.

“Oh well,” she sighed, rubbing her forehead. “It looks like I’ll have to wait a bit longer.”

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

“Come in, please.”

The door opened, and a well-dressed young man entered, his confidence evident.

“Hello, Miss Hudson. My name is Byrum Smith, and I’m here to apply for the designer position.”

Sadie looked up, assessing the newcomer who presented himself neatly and efficiently.

“Mr. Smith, please have a seat.”

Byrum sat down and handed over his résumé and portfolio.

“Miss Hudson, I’ve heard much about you. You’re quite renowned in the design circles of Cairhienen.”

Sadie offered a faint smile, taking the documents to review them closely.

Byrum’s work was bold, innovative, and practical, making a strong impression.

“Your work is quite impressive,” Sadie said, setting down the portfolio, her voice tinged with admiration.

“Thank you, Miss Hudson.”

“I’m looking for someone who can independently complete design projects and who takes responsibility seriously.” Sadie outlined her needs clearly.

“No problem. I can handle that,” Byrum responded confidently. “Additionally, I bring stable client resources.”

He reached into his bag, pulling out a document. “These are some of my recent collaborative projects. Please have a look.”

Sadie took the document and quickly scanned it, her expression showing a hint of surprise.

Byrum’s client list was impressive, featuring several well-known brands.

“Miss Hudson, I have one request,” Byrum said, his tone earnest. “I hope we can finalize the contract soon.”

Sadie looked up, meeting his gaze, her instincts slightly uneasy.

Byrum’s credentials were compelling, and she recognized his potential.

Yet, something about his eagerness felt unsettling.

After a brief pause, Sadie made her decision.

“Alright, I agree, but with a one-month probation period. Your salary will be as discussed, but we’ll hold off on signing the contract until the probation is complete,” she stated firmly.

Byrum’s expression tightened slightly.

“Miss Hudson, I assure you of my sincerity.”

“And I respect that, Mr. Smith,” Sadie replied. “But in business, precautions are necessary. If you accept these terms, start tomorrow at nine.”

Byrum masked his irritation and nodded with a forced smile. “No problem. I look forward to our collaboration.”

After he left the office, Byrum’s smile faded.

He quickly pulled out his phone and dialed a number, his voice betraying his tension.
