Chapter 260: Control Freak Jerk
The judges then approached the girl who had sabotaged Natalie’s table. "Miss Kara, we are truly disappointed by your performance. Your work resembled that of an amateur who had no idea what they were doing. I wonder how you even qualified for this competition. You’ve shown no respect for the workspace or the process of creation. You need to work harder, or you might as well leave this field altogether."
Hearing this, Kara’s expression shifted, and she stammered, "I am sorry." Internally, she was panicking. Have I just ruined my own career? So many people are watching this. What if I don’t get a job in the perfume industry? My dream of working for a good company... what will happen now?
Her gaze shifted to Briena, who was deliberately ignoring her. This bitch, she made me do it by offering me money, Kara thought angrily.
Yet she couldn’t reveal the truth. Exposing Briena, meant she would risk her being banned from the perfume industry forever and would make things even harder for herself. While Briena being rich would escape the situation.
The first round was over, and the next was scheduled for the following day.
As Natalie was leaving, she crossed paths with Briena in the corridor outside the waiting room.
"After coming in fifth place and barely escaping elimination, do you seriously think you have a chance of winning this competition?" Briena mocked. "This time, as always, I’m going to win."
Natalie remained unfazed as she replied, "Coming in fifth place is certainly better than paying someone to mess up the chemicals of other participants."
Briena was momentarily taken aback but quickly recovered. She glanced around and said, "Stop making things up. Do you think I’ll fall for that and say something I shouldn’t, only for you to record it?"
Natalie couldn’t help but smirk. She gently patted Briena’s cheek. "Little sister, you’ve finally grown a few brain cells inside that empty skull of yours, but you’re still far from being smart."
Briena angrily shrugged her hand off, but Natalie immediately grabbed her wrist in a tight grip, making Briena wince in pain. "I’m not a fan of your voice to record it anymore," Natalie said, pulling Briena closer. Then she leaned in and whispered in her ear, her tone dangerously low and menacing.
