Interview call.

Eon Luxe.

One of the largest fashion houses of Emery as well as the country. It was a fashion brand under the umbrella of the parent company, RGE — one of the largest business conglomerates in the country, operating in different parts of the world.

Alongside many offline stores, it had several offices across the country and the head office was in Emery.

Eon Luxe was a luxury designer brand renowned for its exquisite craftsmanship and opulent materials. Each product they made — every stitch, every design, and every material was flawless and probably the best quality raw materials one could get.

Being in touch with the fashion industry since her first year of college for almost seven years, Chloe knew the value of the position of senior designer at Eon Luxe.

It was almost every design student's dream to work in this fashion house. It was considered a remarkable breakthrough in any designer's career!

And that meant - getting a job there, wouldn't be easy for her at all! But given her experiences and extremely good results, Chloe might still have... A little chance!

Chloe spent the whole evening in her room — creating her resume, applying to different companies, and sending emails. She finally made up her mind; she'd move to Emery. But for that, first, she had to secure a job there. And Eon Luxe was her — first priority.

After shutting down the laptop, she lay down in bed. Amidst all the bad things that happened to her in the last few days, this opportunity meant a lot to her. Maybe, it was the starting point of something! Maybe — a new life was waiting for her!

....

After that, almost fifteen days had passed. To Chloe, the days seemed to pass so quickly! She started focusing on herself again, ignoring everything that was happening around her.

In the meantime, the news of the marriage of Clara and Carl was announced to the public. As assumed, this news made its place in the headlines on the very first day of almost all the news agencies in the city!

Mrs. Miller really lived up to her words. As soon as their marriage was confirmed, she made sure to conceal the news of Chloe's engagement day. All the media agencies went a tight lip for that incident. In a few days, Chloe became somewhat non-existent!

Well, she was grateful to her for doing this. It indeed helped her and her reputation.

The wedding was arranged to take place in a month. Although they wanted to bring forward the date, it was not possible ultimately. After all, it was gonna be a big fat wedding, with many important figures across the city and beyond invited. So, they couldn't arrange it all of a sudden.

But amongst all, one thing really surprised Chloe — that was Clara's behavior. Since when the wedding was fixed, her attitude changed drastically!

She got busy with wedding planning, shopping, spa treatments, and salon visits so enthusiastically, as if, for her, it was not a marriage of convenience but a dream that came true!

But again, Chloe didn't think much about it. A wedding is actually meant to be a 'once in a lifetime' event, and everyone has the right to enjoy it on their own. She is literally no one to judge anybody at all!

....

Today, when Chloe opened her laptop, she almost jumped!

In two to three days after sending all the applications, she got some offers accepted. She was somehow sure that she'd get an offer for sure. But the post of senior designer in Eon Luxe — she kept it as a bird's eye. It was almost fifteen days since she didn't get a reply from them, and she almost started losing hope.

But today, as she opened the mailbox, there was a mail from the coveted fashion house — the call for an interview!

She couldn't suppress the joy! Though it was just an interview call letter, it still! Over the years, she had seen so many designers of her company applying there and getting their resumes rejected. Standing at that place, an interview letter itself was a form of victory to her!

She quickly picked up his cell phone and texted Jessica,

"I'm coming to Emery next week, see you."

....

"Chase, do me a favor!"

He was getting ready for the office when suddenly he heard Chloe's voice with a knock on his door.

"Chloe! come in."

He replied while wearing the watch.

Chloe entered the room. Hesitating a bit, she asked.

"Can you send me to the airport? The house car is gone for servicing."

Sometimes she curses herself, why she didn't learn to drive!

Since childhood, she had developed such a habit of traveling in Chase's car and their house car that she never felt the need to learn to drive.

And now, she was actually dependent on them.

"I have to learn to drive before I move to Emery."

She decided in her mind.

"Now where are you going?"

Chase asked.

Coming back from Las Vegas, she hadn't stepped out of the house since then. Now suddenly, she was going again somewhere!

He wondered.

"Emery. I have an interview scheduled today, with them"

Chloe replied.

"Emery! But — "

He was going to ask something more, and suddenly Clara appeared at the door.

"Brother, can you please drop me at the Grands? My friends are coming over, and my car isn't back yet from the service center."

Her car! Oh, so that was the reason the garage was empty! Both the cars are at the service center today.

Chloe thought.

The Grands!

Chase thought for one second. It is near to his office, but totally the opposite of the airport way.

"Okay, get in the car. Chloe has a flight in a while. After dropping her at the airport, I'll drop you off."

Clara was busy looking at her phone. Hearing his words, she looked up. Chloe also looked at her at the same time. As her eyes met Clara's, she felt something unusual. For a fraction of a second, what flickered in her eyes! Was it anger, or

... Jealousy!
