Chapter 289

These past few days had been particularly exhausting.

Three days passed before the results of the Innovate Group advertisement came out, leaving Stephanie anxious and waiting. As soon as she returned to her room at 402 from her trip, she collapsed into bed, her mind a chaotic mess, filled with a sense of wanting to escape.

She wondered. Who exactly is Lucy? What if I can’t land the Innovate Group ad? Why did she make me participate in the ad audition? And why was I told to stay away from Vincent!

These questions and more tormented her mind, turning into nightmares that felt like endless mazes with no way out.

She jolted awake, lying flat on her bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
