Goodbye, My Love

Vickie chuckled, which stunned her colleagues, who couldn’t understand why she was Laughing at that.

“Graduated with honors from Presal Institute of Art…”

Vickie found this hard to believe.

Presal Institute of Art was a top foreign school. How could Loraine afford to school there? Besides, didn’t she drop out of junior high school? She must be lying.

Vickie became happier that she had something on Loraine.

She almost clapped her hands in excitement as she thought of humiliating Loraine Later on.

With a complacent expression, she cleared her throat and said, “I hate to say this, Miss Torres. But after looking at your resume, I must say that you are not qualified to work in Universe Group.”

Loraine frowned.

“Why am I not qualified? Attached to my resume is a collection of designs I have worked on in the past. Not to brag, but I think they make me more than qualified for the role. I wouldn’t have gotten an invite for this interview if I wasn’t qualified.”

Vickie snorted at those words.

She was of the notion that Loraine’s designs were fake since her educational background was fake. She didn’t even bother looking at them.

On second thought, she figured that she could humiliate Loraine more.

“I see. Since you are so confident, I have to test you.”

Under the astonished gazes of her colleagues, Vickie threw a document to Loraine.

“I hope you are not all mouth. This is a chance to prove yourself.”

Loraine took the document confidently.

It was a project of a coastal resort. The question read, “Due to the warm weather in recent years, the rising sea level rapidly erodes the island area. The resort project has been unable to forge ahead…”

Loraine thought for a while before giving an answer.

“The resort can be built around the island. Wooden stilts can be used on the reef covered by the sea, extending from the shore to the surface of the water, forming a fence with wooden connection blocks. On the fence, sheds can curve around the coast. French windows should be included in the design. In this way, tourists can enjoy the beautiful view of the sea. For long-term development, we should consider the ecological system of the island. Through studying the impact of local climate on the ecological system, we can reduce the use of fossil materials and establish environment-friendly facilities for sustainable tourism.”

“Bravo! That’s a great idea!”

“Yeah. Why didn’t we think of it?”

The two other interviewers, who had been silent, concurred with Loraine as soon as she finished speaking. They looked at her as if they found a treasure of inestimable value.

One of them uttered excitedly, “You are hired, Miss Torres. When can you start?”
