“You’d better pray that what you sald is true? 

Violet’s breath deepened, her eyes tinged with antagonism. 

She gave Patrick a cold look and walked straight away. 

Stiletto heels clicked against the floor, leaving a piercing sound, revealing Violet’s extreme uneasiness. 

This time, Patrick did not stop h 

her from leaving. He watched her retreating figure with a smile that held a chilling intent. 

His curved lips took on a hint of malicious amusement. 

He acted like a cat toying with a mouse, watching it scurry about

And he could extend his claws at any moment to 

By the time Patrick returned to the interview room, the interview had already been underway 

Sophia at in the main seat, her posture relaxed yet exuding the air of a queen. 

The three executives beside her were like backdrops, daring not to say a word. 

Only Sophia’s clear and pleasant voice echoed in the room. “Your foundation is good, but your design lacks novelty. It’s too old–fashioned and doesn’t meet the needs of Roscente Group.” 

It did sound like something an interviewer would say. 

Patrick raised an eyebrow, putting on a bewitching smile, as he sauntered towards Sophia. “Sophia, I had no idea you were so knowledgeable about design. You’re full of surprises. 

He spoke as he stopped by Sophia’s side, bending slightly to examine the materials she held. 

Three design drafts were spread out on the table, along with the interviewer’s personal information. 

His gaze swept over the design drafts. “They are all quiir impressive. The aesthetic is spot–on, and the designs themselves are very trendy. If they were to be produced, they would be a hit. This candidate is very talented.” 

His fingers landed on the design drafts. It seemed he was seriously giving his opinion. 

But as his hand fell on the designs, his body almost pressed against Sophia’s 

“Patrick” 

Sophia’s voice was cold and devoid of emotion as she glanced sideways at him. 

Patrick quickly moved away, shrugged, and stepped back. “Sophis, I just want to provide you with professional advice. Although you are the chief examiner, I have to issue advice, don’t [ After all, we have the same goal. 

He emphasized the word “professional” with every breath, implying Sophia’s lack of professionalism and suggesting that her seemingly insightful comment was nothing but a facade, 

Patrick’s eyes drifted to the side, landing on a pile of inte 

of interview materials, which he then shuffled through with his hand. 

He found there were already five interviewees materials piled there, 

He asked in surprise. “Are all of them rejected? 

“Yes. You got a problem with that? Sophia replied without raising her head, 

“I wouldn’t dare. You’re the chief examiner. You can decide everything Patrick shrugged. “But I 

Shouldn’t you at least wait for me to return before starting the interviews? 

Sophia leaned back slowly, looking at Patrick playfully. “Repeat what you just said.” 

You’re the chief examiner. You can decide everything? 

“But I am the manager of the clothing department

Patrick’s face changed instantly as he recalled his own words. 

Sophia added. “So, whether you are here or not does not matter 

Patrick wanted to say something but then stopped, his brows furrowing with anger. 

This was a d 

was a direct provocation. 

His face hardened as he stared at Sophia with a gloomy gaze. 

After a few seconds, he suppressed all this hostility 

y and feigned a smile. “Sophia, since you’re my senior, I can do nothing about it. You can have fun Anyway, Lukas will clean up the mess for you.” 

Sophia’s brow furrowed. 

She pursed her bright red lips slightly and did not speak again. Then she turned her glance to the three senior executives sitting on the other side of the interview table. 

They all averted their eyes, pretending not to see the conflict between her and Patrick. 

Since she started the interview, they never glanced at the interviewees information and left everything to her. 

Sophia didn’t care what they thought of her or how they viewed her. She only needed to complete the task Lukas had assigned her. 

But after hearing Patrick’s words, she realized she had forgotten one thing 

She represented Lukas.
