Ella sat with hes back to Alexia, hey hall cascading down her back as she fiddled with her manicured nails,
For some reason, Alestatel like the man’s back looked strangely familiar,
i didn’t dwell on it. Instead, she asked, “Excuse me, are you Ms. Ella? I’m here to submit my resume for the architecture competition.” Ella looked up, and the moment then eyes met, they both froze.
I was hes! The won who had mocked Alexia in the restroom, the one in the floral dress.
Illa recognized her and sneered “Well, you’ve got some nerve showing up here.”
