Did Janice trust Audrey's skills that much?
"I saw the piece you made when you applied," Janice said without even looking up. "What's the matter? Don't you believe in yourself?"
"Of course, I do!"
Audrey was 33 now and had been a seamstress since she was 19.
Though she had never entered any competitions, her skills were solid enough that Onley Group had relied on her for years to ensure quality control. That alone spoke volumes about her expertise.
In Janice's eyes, Audrey's craftsmanship was even better than that of Proper Stitch Group's seamstress supervisors. And with talent like that? Anyone would want to recruit her.
Yet despite her skill, Audrey had remained completely unknown all these years.
Onley Group had deliberately kept her in the shadows, afraid that if people discovered her abilities, she'd be poached by competitors. She had all this talent, yet no one knew her name. Who wouldn't feel frustrated in her shoes?
"To be honest, I'm planning to send you to this year's Summer Tournament."
Audrey nearly dropped her fork. "Me?"
She was stunned.
She had only been working here for less than a month and hadn't even showcased any work yet. How could Janice just randomly pick her for such a big competition?
"I'm not going to enter myself. I need to train talented people. And I think you have incredible skills. If you focus on your craft, winning an award is only a matter of time."
Janice finally looked up, her gaze warm and encouraging. It was almost overwhelming.
Audrey swallowed nervously.
Janice was so sincere—so trusting. But Audrey was a spy. How could she compete?
If Louis found out…
Janice took a sip of water and then glanced at her. "Don't you want to make a name for yourself? Have the whole world know who you are?"
