Teams Two and Three had no choice but to take whatever was left after Vanessa made her picks.
Enrica never expected her to extend an invitation, especially to a newcomer like herself.
Vanessa smiled at her reaction. She had a sharp, androgynous look–short hair, sleek makeup, and acrisp outfit that gave off a strong, professional vibe.
“I’ve had my eye on you for a while I wanted you on my team from the start, but I lost out to Mr. Boum,” she explained.
Enrica wasn’t sure if she was just being polite, but either way, Vanessa had personally extended the offer and even praised her. She had no reason to refuse
“Thank you for believing in me, Ms. Hanson.
Vanessa seemed pleased with her response. After a brief pause, she casually added, “Colin was pursuing you before, wasn’t he?
Enrica was taken aback. “You could tell?”
Vanessa seitled “ll be honest with you, every woman in this company who’s from Evernorth has been pursued by him. Myself included ”

Enrica was stunned. She had always thought of Colin as mild–mannered and friendly. She never imagined he had such ulterior motives.
Vanessa continued, “Everyone in the company knows about his little game. The only ones who don’t are the new interns like you, which is why you became his
“And as for Emily? Their relationship has been complicated for a while. At first, he was interested in her because she had an Evernorth residency permit.
“But once be found out she was broke and living in a cramped shared housing complex, he lost interest and tried to dump her. The problem was that Emily fell for him. That’s how things spiraled into this mess.
Enrica exhaled, a deep sense of regret settling in “Poor Emily..
Vanessa gave her a serious look “I’m telling you this so you don’t dwell on it. Neither Emily nor colinhas anything to do with you anymore. The best thing you can do is focus on your work and move on.”
Enrica could tell Vagessa was looking out for her and quickly nodded. “I understand, Ms. Hanson
“Good. Now, pack up your things and pick a desk in Team One’s area.” With that, Vanessa turned and walked away
Wasting no time, Enrica gathered her belongings and moved over to Team One’s section, choosing an empty desk.
Vanessa called the team together and introduced her.
“This is Enrica Schubert. She was being groomed as Team Three’s star player, and she even signed multiple deals while still in her internship. From now on, she part of our team. Make sure to leam from her.”

Her new teammates welcomed her warmly, throwing out a few ligh
Embarrassed, Enric quickly waved her hands. “I just got lucky, that’s all”
Back in Team Three, everything had felt scattered and disorganized But here, the atmosphere was much more cohesive. She already liked it better.

He had been struggling for three days straight. At this point, he looked completely drained–his face unshaven, dark clacles under his eyes, a lacry from his sal

Cole didn’t look much better, but excitement flickered in his exhausted eyes. “It’s true! Mr. Robertson’s assistant just contacted me. He’ll call us as soon as his meeting is over!”
