Chapter 823

“Are we to be tested?”

“why were we not forewarned?”

Surveying the examination papers, bewilderment etched its mark on their expressions. Unanticipated

tests loomed before them, casting doubt on their level of preparedness.

“In this test’s crucible, the pinnacle trio shall find apprenticeship within the Thomas Group.”

Seriousness resonated in Marcus’s tone; his presence was a steadfast sentinel upon the stage.

“Three slots, you jest? Did a quota unmentioned emerge?”

As the examination papers fluttered into each other’s hands, discourse ceased, and the room fell silent.

Questions multiplied, and anxiety for completion gnawed at each soul.

An hour’s passage bore witness to the cessation of scribbles, with every script surrendered to Marcus‘

evaluation. Suspense gripped the air as students awaited their fate, hopes pinned upon securing the

coveted Thomas Group positions.

“Verily, the labyrinthine queries thwarted my completion, Leaving one unresolved.”

“You faltered at a singular query? Alas, I left two unanswered.” “Inconceivable, dear friends. Such a

spectacle befits those who failed to exert due diligence.” Kaya’s retort, laced with levity, aimed a

teasing glance at the conversing duo.

Tongues lashed back in silent but somber acknowledgment of their shortcomings. Kaya’’s claim held a

kernel of truth-her diligent persistence set her apart.

With an impassive countenance, Marcus proceeded to assess the papers.

A particular script halted his perusal, his scrutiny aligning with the name inscribed atop. His gaze lifted,

embracing the quietly engrossed Millie.

Minutes unfurled their wings, and Marcus, having concluded his evaluations, embarked upon the score

tabulation.

“It’s done? So swift?

“The celerity befits the Thomas Group’s president.”

In swift sequence, scores found their allocation.

“By the heavens, my nerves are aflutter.”

“As are mine. The outcome is imminent.”

A score report, sudden and conspicuous, beckoned all gazes. Millie, her eyes cast upon the screen,

exhaled in solace.

“Behold, Millie attains perfection and ascends the summit.”

“The exam’s intricacies and her mastery are wondrous to behold.”
