Why would someone as outstanding as her choose them?
The teacher didn't quite understand what Camille meant but answered truthfully, "Yes, we did announce it. Many college students are wary of scams these days, and I was worried it might affect your recruitment, so I mentioned the company briefly. Is that okay?"
Camille shook her head and replied nonchalantly, "Of course, it's fine. I was just asking casually, don't take it to heart."
The topic wasn't pursued further, and Camille and Sienna expressed their gratitude to the teacher before suggesting that they needed to discuss things privately. With several excellent candidates, they found it challenging to make a decision.
After the teacher left the meeting room, Camille and Sienna both sighed silently.
Sienna looked at Camille and asked, "What do we do now?"
Camille pursed her lips, her expression turning somewhat distant, and said, "Honestly, she's a perfect fit for us, isn't she?"
"Yes, she really is."
"But why would she work so hard to join our company?" Camille was genuinely puzzled. If the teacher hadn't provided them with any information, she wouldn't be hesitating like this.
Camille sighed once again, and her expression grew more serious. After a moment of silent contemplation, she made a decision, saying, "Let's go with the male student, he's good too."
Camille didn't want to create unnecessary problems for herself, especially with all the recent events. She didn't want to complicate things further.
It wasn't that there was something wrong with Crystal. After all, they didn't know each other from the beginning, and Camille simply wanted to follow her instincts.
Sienna had no objections to Camille's decision. With their choice made, they instructed the teacher to inform the male student to come to the company the next morning for further discussions regarding compensation and benefits.
As for the other students' design sketches, they were returned, following the standard practice in the design industry.
Camille and Sienna were ready to leave the meeting room, but as they were about to head downstairs, they heard a voice behind them, "Miss Armstrong, Miss King."
It was Crystal.
She walked briskly toward them and stood in front of Camille and Sienna. She looked at them and said, "Miss Armstrong, Miss King, I hope I'm not being too forward."
Camille and Sienna exchanged a quick glance before Camille spoke, "Crystal? Is there something you'd like to discuss?"
Crystal was straightforward and asked, "I wanted to know why you didn't choose me. I believe my work is on par with the others, and Miss Armstrong seemed to like my style. Why did you ultimately select someone else?"
She didn't beat around the bush and directly expressed her doubts.
Sienna smiled and replied, "Your work is indeed excellent, but excellence doesn't necessarily mean it fits our requirements, does it?"
Crystal seemed somewhat incredulous but still looked at Camille and asked, "Is that what Miss Armstrong thinks too?"
"Crystal, your work and style are indeed impressive, and I genuinely liked them. However, you might not be the best fit for this collaboration, so I'm sorry," Camille replied in a calm tone.
Crystal pursed her lips, her expression visibly disappointed. However, she didn't insist and instead said softly, "I understand. I'm sorry for bothering you both. I didn't mean anything else; I just wanted to clarify things and remove any doubts I might have had."
Camille and Sienna expressed their understanding, and after watching Crystal turn and leave, they continued downstairs.
Once they were back in the car, Camille finally spoke up and asked Sienna, "Did we go too far with this?"
Sienna was puzzled by Camille's question and asked in return, "Why would you say that? Just because we didn't choose her? The right to choose is in our hands, and I believe it's perfectly fine to select whoever we feel is suitable, isn't it?"
After Sienna's persuasive words, Camille nodded in agreement. Yes, they had the right to choose, and others had the right to decline.
Their decision-making process was fair, and there was nothing unreasonable about it.
