Chapter 184 She's So Bloody Full Of Herself
Cynthia's response was a light, arrogant chuckle. "Why the rush?" she scoffed,
her expression oozing superiority. "With my talent, landing this deal will be a piece of cake. Why should I break a sweat like the rest of you?"
Her eyes flickered towards Linsey, a thinly veiled insult hanging in the air. "Someone," she continued, her voice dripping
with disdain, "might have gotten away with their shoddy
work and fooled clients in the past. But not this time."
A smug smirk played on Cynthia's lips as she picked up her coffee and sauntered
out of the office, leaving a trail of simmering resentment in her wake.
Linsey couldn't help but frown as she observed the triumphant smirk plastered across Cynthia's face.
Why was Cynthia so confident? It was as if she already knew Kylee would pick her design.
Cynthia's arrogant display didn't sit well with the other colleagues either.
One of them rolled her eyes dramatically. "God, I can't stand her," she muttered under her breath. "She's so bloody full of herself. Does being the spoiled daughter of the Keller family make her royalty or something?"
"Shhh, keep it down! What if she hears you?"
"Yeah, just focus on your own work," another chimed in. "She's got connections; we've got nothing."
A brief silence descended upon the office, punctuated only by the clicking of keyboards and the rustling of papers.
Suddenly, a colleague gasped. “Oh shit, I just remembered something!"
"What?" The others leaned in, curiosity piqued.
"The Keller family and the Russell family are related!" the colleague blurted out. "Kylee comes from money, and if you think about it, she's probably Cynthia's cousin!"
"What?!" another exclaimed in disbelief. "They're related? So that's why Cynthia's so smug! Does she seriously think Kylee
will just hand her the project because they're family?"
"Ugh, this is such bullshit!"
"This is ridiculous. What's the point of even trying? This whole thing is rigged in Cynthia's favor."
Disappointment washed over the group.
"Does Coen know about this?" someone asked.
"Probably," another replied with a sigh. "But why the hell would Coen make us compete if it's already a done deal?"
"Ugh, what a waste of time and energy. I actually thought I had a shot, but now..." 0.0%

But not everyone was convinced. Doubts lingered in the air.
"I don't know about that. I'm a huge Kylee fan, and I've never heard her mention
any connection to the Keller family."
"So you're saying... Kylee might not even know Cynthia?"
"Exactly! Maybe they're just distantly related or something. It's not like they're besties."
"That actually gives me a bit of hope. What if Kylee doesn't give a damn about Cynthia? We might still be in the running!"
Linsey tuned out the chatter and focused on her work. Their gossip and speculation were irrelevant to her.
She believed that whether she was chosen or not wasn't the most important thing. What truly mattered was putting her
best foot forward.
Linsey immersed herself in her research, working diligently until the end of the
day. When it was finally time to clock out,
she headed back to Vista Villa, as usual.
As she neared the villa's entrance, a sleek, unfamiliar car caught her eye.
Linsey recognized the car instantly-it wasn't Collin's.
If she recalled correctly, it was a limited-edition model, the kind favored by the ultra-wealthy.
Clearly, Collin had an important guest.
Linsey was about to inquire about the visitor when a sharp, haughty voice cut through the air.
"Just who do you think you are, barging into Collin's villa like you own the place?"noveldrama
Linsey whirled around, her eyes widening in surprise.
Standing before her, radiating an air of arrogance, was none other than Kylee, the famous actress.
