After making plans with Oliver, Josefina clocked out and left the office building, but before she could even reach the exit, her path was intercepted by Holly.

"Ms. Josefina, I've got something I need to discuss with you," Holly said, her voice tinged with urgency.

Josefina, clutching her purse and noting the deserted hallway, realized Holly must have waited a while. She replied with a gentle smile, "Holly, if you needed to talk, you could've just popped by my office. No need to wait out here for so long."

"Ms. Josefina, I didn't want to disturb you when you were swamped with work. And since it's after hours, I figured I'd catch you on your way out."

"What's on your mind?" Josefina inquired, curious.

Holly hesitated before blurting out, "Ms. Josefina, about that design competition - could I possibly tag along with you? I'd love to broaden my horizons, and I'm sure it'd inspire my own work." Josefina was taken aback, wondering how Holly knew she'd only picked Alex to attend the competition. Alex was tight-lipped. He wouldn't spill the beans on a whim.

Before Josefina could voice her thoughts, Holly continued, "I know I'm not on Alex's level, and I can't represent the company in the contest. I just want to soak in the experience, that's all. Please, Ms. Josefina, could you take me with you?"

The sincerity in Holly's eyes made it hard for Josefina to refuse. "Alright, you can come along when the time comes."
