“The driver accidentally spilled his drink on me,” Diana explained. “Let's go.” She brushed off the incident.

Charlotte lowered her head thoughtfully. After a moment, she said, “You should brace yourself.”
“For what?” Diana asked, puzzled.
Charlotte said, “Just a hunch. I'll explain later. Let's head back first.”
When they returned to the car, everyone else was already there. Ethan had stopped fiddling with his camera and
now sat with his eyes closed.
Charlotte pulled out her phone, acting as if nothing had happened.
Back at the magazine office, they gathered in the familiar conference room.

Brittany smiled, “I trust you've all brought back something good. Let's see your work.”
Ethan gestured toward Charlotte. “She’s the junior here. Let her go first.”
* Charlotte rolled her eyes and opened her camera bag. But the moment she looked inside, her expression
shifted. “Why is everything soaked?”

Charlotte's face was grim. “My camera got water damage, and all the photos are ruined.”
Emily was quick to jump in. “How could you be so careless? Do you realize the importance of this shoot? Failing
to protect your equipment shows a lack of professionalism. How can we trust you with a magazine cover? What if
you let the photos slip? The consequences would be disastrous!”
Emily turned to Brittany. “Let's stick with Ethan. We've worked with him, and his performance is always reliable.”
Brittany frowned, clearly troubled by the situation. She glanced at Charlotte with a hint of regret. “Charlene,
even after five years, | still have high hopes for your work. Unfortunately, you didn’t pass this trial.”
Charlotte's expression was grim. But she suppressed her emotions and said evenly, “Then may | stay and view
Ethan's
works?”
Emily responded immediately, “We're not hiring you, so you have no reason to be here. Please leave.”
Charlotte's eyes darkened, her calm expression turning cold. “On the way back, my agent and | went to the
restroom, leaving my camera in the car. Now it's waterlogged. Shouldn't | bet allowed to suspect anyone who
was in the car? Could someone have damaged my camera on purpose?”
Emily sneered, “Do you have any proof?”
Charlotte replied, “No, but | could always call the police. They're good at finding evidence. By the way, my
camera is worth 700

Emily's expression faltered. She looked at Charlotte coldly.
The tension in the room thickened.

Charlotte shifted the topic. “All | want is to see Ethan’s work. Once I've seen it, I'll leave. I'll accept the damage
to my camera. Is that really too much to ask?” Her gaze swept the room as she spoke, landing on Ethan.
Ethan said didactically, “Go ahead and take a look. You're still young, and you have a long road ahead.” Then, he
transferred the photos from his camera to his phone and projected them onto the large screen.
The thwas nature. Ethan had photographed tigers. While the tigers appeared fierce in their wild state, the
ones in captivity lacked their primal edge, exuding a languid, almost lethargic air. Even though Ethan had chosen
specific angles to emphasize their strength, something was missing.
The photos were passable at best.
Charlotte raised an eyebrow and let out a dismissive “That's it?”
