Chapter 26 Cornering The Newbie

The other interns working with Christina were amazed when they saw her designs, but their surprise quickly gave way to jealousy.

One of the designers went over to look out of curiosity and found Christina’s work to be rather creative. and appealing to young women, albeit not quite the company’s style.

Still, that level of design was above the mark for a rookie.

Standing in the crowd, Christina did not receive any applause. Instead, what she got were meaningful looks from a few people. It went without saying that having Gina stick her design up on the noticeboard was an invitation to disaster, for the shot always hit the bird that poked its head out first.

Because of what happened, all the interns who joined the company with Christina took her as their biggest competitor.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel had unprecedentedly left Christina uninterrupted for the first week since she started the internship so she could focus on work, given her hectic schedule.

On one occasion, Christina was almost running late for work and would have to clock in late if she missed the elevator, so she rushed toward the elevator, holding a carton of milk she had just bought.

“Wait up!”

Despite her cry, the female intern at the elevator door quickly pressed the “close” button, leaving Christina behind.

As the doors closed between them, Christina’s steps slowed down in disappointment. She felt ostracized when she noticed the smug expression on the woman’s face.

She recalled how Team A had strict rules about tardiness: anyone who turned up late for work twice would not receive any bonus.

At the thought, she swirled the milk still in her mouth as she came to terms with the finality of the situation, but the elevator door suddenly opened again.

“What are you waiting for?” a man voiced with slightly arched brows.

The man who opened the door had a closely-cut suit that fit his tall build perfectly and exuded a regal aura that bespelled Christina momentarily.

Still, the latter quickly snapped back to her senses and ran into the elevator as though a ray of light had shone down into the darkness for her. Thank you!”

The man glanced at her employee ID from the corner of his eyes and simply grunted curtly in

response.

Christina then stole a glimpse at the man’s ID clipped to his suit: Yosef Gunther-leader of Team B.

This name was no stranger to Christina, for even back at school, she had heard a lot about the designer who had won multiple international awards.

She did not expect to run into someone she had admired in the elevator-let alone work at the same

company as him. Christina felt that it must be the luckiest day of her life.

On a closer look, Yosef had a head of shoulder-length hair and a pair of enchanting upturned eyes. He was a total dreamboat with a high nose bridge and sculpted jaw that could charm just about anyone. To top that up, his six-foot-tall physique meant he could pull off any outfit and catch the spotlight effortlessly on the runway.

Their short-lived meeting came to an end when the elevator door opened again.

Christina headed to her office and was able to clock in just in time before work.

Just as she thought the day would unfold uneventfully, trouble set in when she arrived at a drenched office table with all the documents she had printed out soaked with water.
