Lucy Sawyer was completely out of her depth, barely understanding a word of Winona's presentation.
Seeing all the heavyweight experts in the room staring at Winona with rapt attention, Lucy was secretly in awe. *She's fully committing to the bit! That speech was ridiculously technical—her sugar daddy must have paid a fortune to have someone write it for her.*
And that intense, scholarly aura? It was incredibly convincing. She must have rehearsed in front of a mirror for weeks.
Lucy realized her own "academic" persona was way too flimsy. She needed to take notes from Winona.
When Winona wrapped up her presentation, she offered a humble, polite bow to the audience and walked off the stage with effortless poise.
Lucy leaned over the second Winona sat down, whispering conspiratorially, "Okay, Winona, you are seriously talented. Your acting is flawless. You have to tell me, who did you buy that speech from? How much did it cost?"
Winona gave her a polite smile but said absolutely nothing.
Lucy didn't take the silence personally. She figured Winona was just playing coy because they had just met. Once they became best friends, Winona would definitely spill her secrets.
As soon as the seminar wrapped, several top-tier industry veterans immediately flocked to Winona, eager to exchange contact information. Hearing that she had established a new lab in the Capital, they peppered her with questions about her current research direction.
Winona easily held her own, discussing complex methodologies with them. Her insights were so forward-thinking and innovative that the veterans were left thoroughly impressed.
Standing on the fringes, Lucy watched Winona effortlessly charm a circle of brilliant men, radiating undeniable confidence. The jealousy clawed at her throat.
*She definitely has a PR team styling her,* Lucy thought bitterly. *There's no way someone her age actually knows all this stuff.*
