"What are you doing here? Don't tell me you're here for the interview too?" Lydia said, eyeing Flora from head to toe with a dismissive sneer. "Do you really think just anyone can waltz into Rose's Studio? Do you even know the first thing about fashion design?"
Flora, a med student, dabbling in fashion design? Unlikely.
"What's up with Lydia? Why's she so harsh on that girl?"
"Lydia's always had a bit of an attitude. It's because that girl's a nobody. I don't recognize her; she must be some rookie designer with the guts to try for Rose's Studio."
A few designers watched the scene unfold, choosing to stay out of it.
After all, Lydia had some recognition in the fashion world, whereas Flora was a complete unknown to them.
However, some candid designers decided to stick up for Flora.
"Come on, Lydia. We're all women here. Do you really need to be so nasty?"
"What, you got a problem with me?"
Lydia, her temper flaring, sneered again, "Well, you'd better hope you don't get into Rose's Studio, or you'll be seeing me every day. But with your average skills, I doubt you'll be joining me there anyway."
"Flora, just leave. I don't want you here. You're a med student; you have no place here. Today’s a big day for me, so I'll let it slide for now, but after today, you’ll see."
"Don't let her get to you, Lydia," her friend chimed in. "You're about to be a designer at Rose's Studio. She's not even in your league. Don't stoop to her level."
Flora watched the whole scene, finding it quite entertaining.
It was like watching a circus act.
Satisfied, she pulled out her phone and made a call, "Howell, get over here."
Her voice wasn't quiet.
Everyone heard it.
The way they looked at Flora changed instantly.
The name Howell carried serious clout in the fashion industry, second only to Rose.
Rose was rarely seen, and Howell ran the show at Rose's Studio.
