Chapter 358:
When the briefing concluded, the whispers began.
“Did you hear? Apparently, one of the new interns is the CEO’s daughter p>
“No way!” Another leaned in, their tone dripping with curiosity.
“My friend in HR told me the same thing. It has to be Bella, right? She’s got the Harris name p>
“Exactly. We’d better be careful around her. You don’t want to step on the CEO’s toes by upsetting his daughter p>
“Good to know. Thanks for the heads-up. I’ll make sure to be extra polite p>
The rumor spread like wildfire, winding through the office until it became an unspoken truth.
Before long, whispers had already painted Bella as untouchable. Everyone was savvy enough to handle the situation, offering Bella practiced smiles and polite nods. Meanwhile, Vida had wasted no time assigning the newcomers to their new mentor.
“You’ll both be working under Lynn Lancaster here, our chief designer p>
After the morning briefing concluded, Lynn finally made her entrance into the office. The room seemed to shift as she walked in, her presence commanding immediate attention.
Dressed to perfection, Lynn exuded confidence. Her voluminous chestnut waves framed a face adorned with striking red lips and bold makeup.
A creatively draped blouse paired with tailored black wide-legged pants gave her an effortless elegance, and the luxury-brand handbag slung over her shoulder sealed her image as the epitome of a city fashionista.
Her sharp gaze fell on Yelena and Bella. She appraised them quickly, her expression unreadable but tinged with indifference. “So, you two are my new interns p>

Bella stepped forward, flashing her signature bright smile. “Yes, Miss Lancaster. I’m Bella Harris. I’m so excited to learn from you p>
Yelena followed with a calm, composed tone. “Hello, I’m Yelena Roberts. Pleased to meet you p>
Lynn studied them for another moment before speaking, her words clipped but authoritative. “I’m very strict. Whatever tasks I assign you, I expect them to be done quickly and perfectly. Understood p>
“Understood,” the two girls replied in unison.
With that, an assistant named Tessa Sandoval took over, leading Bella and Yelena on a tour of the office. Tessa showed them their desks, outlined their duties, and introduced them to the work environment.
Yelena moved through the office with quiet observation, her gaze lingering on the organized chaos of the creative team. She couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride as she took in the bustling energy. This was her father’s company—polished, efficient, and thriving. She couldn’t let anything ruin her family legacy.
Bella, meanwhile, played the part of the eager intern, making friends, nodding, and smiling at every introduction.
Later that morning, Bella had already charmed her way into the hearts of the entire design department. She even surprised everyone by treating the team to Starbucks. A gesture that was met with delighted murmurs and applause, her colleagues quick to heap praise on her thoughtfulness.
The team found themselves pleasantly surprised by how approachable the boss’ daughter turned out to be.
Bella basked in their gratitude. She knew exactly what she was doing. The rumors about her being the CEO’s daughter were practically a gift, one she neither confirmed nor denied.
Why should she? After all, she was indeed part of the Harris family, even if not by blood.
Yelena, however, kept her distance. She watched the scene unfold with detached curiosity, choosing not to correct the misconceptions swirling around Bella. It was easier this way. Bella could have her little moment; Yelena had more pressing matters to focus on.
