In the end, it had all been a catastrophic failure. She had been caught red-handed.
"I'm not like you, Elaine! I have absolutely nothing left. I'm just a rookie!" Nicole sobbed.
"Enough with the crying," Elaine said, rubbing her temples in annoyance. "Relax. I promised you that as long as I had a place in this industry, you would too. I'm at Prism Creative Agency now, and they won't abandon me. Besides, Isabella Bennett ordered me to do this. She won't just leave me out to dry. Even if you lose your job at LUMEN Studio, you can just come work at Prism."
Elaine sneered. "I just got humiliated in front of everyone, and I'm not scared. What are you so worried about? My dignity was trampled into the dirt today. Do you think you have it worse than me? The only thing I didn't see coming was that Elena was Aurora. I still can't believe it."
The mere thought of it made Elaine's chest tighten with suffocating frustration.
Aurora had always been her idol, the designer she admired more than anyone else in the world. And yet, the person she practically worshipped had just dealt her a fatal blow.
"You're right. Elena was just an intern who joined the company at the same time as me. How could she be Aurora? It's mind-blowing. I was actually coworkers with the legendary Aurora..."
Nicole was equally in shock, but knowing the truth now did her no good. She had an industry titan sitting right next to her all this time, and instead of learning from her, she had spent her days looking down on her and mocking her.
"Now I get it. No wonder Sienna always favored Elena. They knew each other all along, and I was completely kept in the dark!" Elaine realized, suddenly piecing together all of Sienna's inexplicable decisions.
Sienna had even dropped subtle hints in the past, but Elaine had been too foolish to notice. She had convinced herself that Sienna's bias was just because of Claire. She couldn't have been more wrong.
Isabella's voice was like ice. "Is this your idea of a job well done? What did you promise me? You guaranteed it was foolproof, and look what happened! Not only are you a public disgrace, but you dragged the entire agency's reputation down with you. You're completely useless!"
Elaine touched her stinging cheek, feeling a deep sense of injustice. "I honestly didn't know Elena installed screen-recording software and set up a hidden camera on the computer. Who could have predicted she was that paranoid?"
"Idiot! I warned you that Elena was not someone to underestimate. Because of you, this agency is an absolute laughingstock. I need people who can deliver results, not pathetic excuses. There is no place for you here anymore. Pack your things and get the hell out."
Elaine's eyes widened in sheer disbelief. "What did you just say? You're firing me?"
Isabella crossed her arms and let out a cold laugh. "What else? You've just been blacklisted by the entire design industry. What possible value do you have left? I won't hire you, and no other company will touch you either. Why would I keep a piece of dead weight on my payroll?"
