Rewriting My Heart's Fate novel Chapter 408

"Especially what?" Kevin and I asked in unison.

"Especially you, Evelyn." Lianne looked at me and smiled cryptically.

"Me?" I pointed at myself. I was utterly bewildered.

"Exactly. The professor was deeply impressed by the unique design concepts and aesthetic vision in your portfolio," Lianne continued.

My eyes widened as a wave of indescribable excitement surged within me. To be recognized by such a renowned industry figure was an incredible honor.

"Wow." I clenched my fists in exhilaration.

"It's absolutely true," Lianne said, grinning. "But it seems like the professor's compliment has rubbed someone the wrong way."

"Who?" I asked, puzzled.

Lianne sighed. "Who else? Carlos."

Of course. Carlos Miles, another top student in our department, was also my rival.

He had always been critical of my design philosophy. He accused me of being overly unconventional and straying too far from mainstream aesthetics.

"He just can't stand seeing someone else succeed," Kevin muttered.

"But… I've heard he's not easy to deal with. What if he causes trouble for us?" Lianne asked.

"Forget about him," I replied. "Let's focus on doing our best."

He scanned the room until his gaze landed on me. His lips curled into a smug, taunting smile.

"Evelyn. I heard you're living it up overseas and even caught the eye of the new visiting professor."
