Oh God!
Walking out of the office building, Susan was still in shock from what she just witnessed.
That was way too awkward for her to handle!
After regaining her composure, Susan sensed something fishy.
Why would Sheldon ask her to collect the documents from him if he had asked Lily out?
Susan pondered for a while and called Chance.
"Hey Chance, did Mr. Parsons ask you to collect any documents?"
"No," Chance sounded a little surprised. "Why did you ask?"
"Nothing," Susan answered and hung up the phone.
Chance did not receive a text, but she did. Clearly, someone wanted her to be unwelcomed.
Who would it be?
Sheldon Parsons?
No, it should not be him. There was no way he would want her to know anything about such an unreputable matter.
Then, it should be...
Lily Chainwest!
Susan finally figured it out.
It was most likely Lily’s doing.
Did Lily set her up so that Sheldon Parsons would get revenge on her?
Although she could kind of guess Lily’s goal, Susan still could not think of a solution on the spot.
After all, Sheldon had not done anything yet. What if h e did not even plan to do anything to her?
Susan scratched her head in frustration.
She just wanted to focus on interior design and took n o interest in everything else.
Whatever. She would just play it by ear.
Sheldon was quite reputable in his profession. If she kept quiet about what she saw, he probably would not make things difficult for a young and trivial designer, right?
Susan decided to act as though nothing happened and focused on her design instead.
When it was time, Susan sent her well-prepared draft t o Sheldon and waited patiently for the results to be announced.
The next day, Sheldon notified everyone to gather at the building.
After everyone arrived, Sheldon scanned the crowd, pulled out a name list, and stuck it to the wall, "The results are out. See it for yourselves."
Everyone gathered around the wall.
Susan wanted to check it out too. But, when Lily walked by, she whispered quietly, "Susan, when you see the results, don't go home crying for your mommy."
Susan’s heart dropped. Lily's confidence gave her an ominous feeling.
She knew herself well enough to know that she should have, at the very least, gotten into the top thirty, if not one of the top ten.
Would Sheldon actually disqualify her in the first round just because of personal reasons?
Just when Susan was feeling uncertain, she heard Chance’s voice, "Susan is disqualified for plagiarism? What happened! Mr. Parsons, could this be a misunderstanding?"
Plagiarism?
Susan’s heart skipped a beat. She walked past the crowd to look at the name list.
