Chapter 1383: Bathroom break!
Patricia tapped her foot on the floor, fidgeting with her fingers as she glanced around uneasily. It wasn’t nervousness or anxiety that made her restless — after two hours of waiting, her bladder felt like it was about to burst.
The number of people in the room had already halved, and she didn’t want to risk missing her turn when her name was called. So, despite her growing discomfort, she kept her eyes glued to the door, hoping she wouldn’t be summoned just yet.
Her eyes lit up when the door opened, revealing the person calling names. The moment her name wasn’t announced, she sprang from her seat and rushed to the bathroom.
Relief flooded her body as soon as she stepped into a toilet cubicle.
’Gosh... this journey is like a rollercoaster ride,’ she thought with a grin as she finally relieved herself. ’Well, if I impress everyone, this will all be worth it.’
As Patricia went about her business, she heard voices outside.
"Gosh, why is this taking so long?" a woman’s voice echoed through the restroom. "It’s been three hours since I got here. I came in early to get first in line, but still..."
"I know, right?" another woman chimed in, frustration lacing her tone. "Even people who arrived after me got called in first. Wasn’t this supposed to be first come, first served?"
"Look on the bright side!" a third voice interjected, noticeably more upbeat than the others. "The best always comes last. Besides, if the interviews are still going, it means they haven’t chosen anyone yet. Otherwise, they wouldn’t waste everyone’s time."
Patricia rolled her eyes as she wiped herself clean. She had overheard too many conversations like this to care anymore. While she agreed with some of what they were saying, she wasn’t interested in making friends.
To her, all these girls were enemies.
They were her competition.
