The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

As soon as Janet sat down at her desk, Gerda swiveled her chair around to face Janet. “Did you hear the news? The annual intermediate designer evaluation is about to begin. Everyone’s been running around like headless chickens trying to prepare for it. By the way, why’d you go on leave again yesterday?”

“Something urgent came up at home.” After taking a sip of water, Janet glanced around at the bustling office. “It seems everyone’s excited.”

“Of course everyone’s excited. This is a good chance to be promoted. Besides, the fall-winter fashion week is approaching. Everyone is secretly competing with each other.” Then, Gerda leaned over and whispered in her ear, “There are only three positions. All the new designers are itching to get a spot. I know of two who have been working here for a while now, and they both have performed excellently. I just know that they’ll get the promotion—but as for the third position, it’s hard to say who will get it.”

“Kaya?” Janet blinked at her colleague questioningly.
