Before she could finish , Lily cut her off . " I'm not not divorcing him . I just ... I'll wait until he's dealt with Henry first . " Yulia , on the police station steps , halted mid - step . Then she broke into a bright smile . " Squeezing Jared dry ? Okay . You're forgiven ! " But Lily didn't feel victorious . If anything , her anxiety deepened . Jared wasn't the type of man to be " squeezed " without consequence . He'd retaliate . Sooner or later . And then it hit her - Blue Corp ! She'd completely forgotten about the interview . It had already been a full day . No follow - up . No reminder . Panicking , she scrolled for the contact number and dialed . It picked up quickly . She apologized immediately . " I'm sorry , I was supposed to- " " Ms. Lily , " the woman on the line said gently , " Mr. Sue just got back to the country and has been busy . Would you be able to come in this morning at nine ? " Lily nearly melted in relief . " Yes ! Thank you ! " It was just before eight . She'd make it . The only problem ? She didn't have any business attire here at Jared's .

" Ms. Lily , no need to be nervous ," Chase said with a polite smile , as if they were complete strangers . " Please , have a seat . " He pulled out the main chair and sat down . The others followed suit . The interview began . Lily's resume wasn't complicated - her career path was easy to summarize at a glance . They went around the room , asking standard questions about her design philosophy , inspirations , and technical skills . Chase , too , played his part with professional detachment . Lily answered fluidly at first . But when the final interviewer asked about current design trends and how she'd compare this year's popular styles with last year's , she faltered .
