The next candidate to walk in was a young woman with a sharp bob cut and a sweet, doll–like face.
Her outfit leaned more toward a commanding, professional style, and paired with her tall frame, easily over five foot seven, she carried an undeniable air of presence.
At first glance, Aurora’s eyes lit up.
Even Megan couldn’t hide her excitement, pinching Aurora’s arm under the table as if to say she liked this one instantly.
Aurora shot her a calm–down look.
A strong first impression was one thing, but if her professional skills didn’t match up, everything else would be meaningless.
Looks were plentiful in the world; competence was what truly mattered.
The short–haired woman stepped confidently in front of the panel.
With just one glance, she seemed to know exactly who the real decision–maker was.
Her voice was clear and steady as she introduced herself. “Hello, my name is Hannah Lane. I graduated from Harker University, with a major in e–commerce.”
Aurora’s heart skipped. She hadn’t expected her small, newly founded studio to attract a graduate from Harker, one of the top five universities in the country.
Even Ian’s brow twitched slightly before he voiced the obvious question that was also on Aurora’s
mind.
“With a degree from Harker, don’t you think joining such a new studio like ours might be beneath your talents?”
It was a fair point. For a place so young, drawing someone of that caliber felt almost unreal.
But Hannah only smiled, unbothered, as though she had heard the question a hundred times already.
“You’re not the first to ask me that,” she replied evenly. “I’ve interviewed with many companies already,”
Ian tried again, softening the angle of his question. “Then why choose us in the end? Or is it that you weren’t satisfied with the other companies?”
His tone was careful, but the curiosity behind it was plain.
After all, it was usually companies that chose employees, not the other way around.

Technically it was supposed to be a two–way choice, but in the current market, things rarely worked.
that way.
So, when a young woman with such strong academic credentials showed up at their small studio, after already interviewing at bigger firms, it was only natural for them to be curious.
Hannah didn’t seem fazed by the question. Instead, she answered plainly, almost with a trace of dry.
humor.
“Because I come from a farming family.”
Even as she said it, she gave a small, ironic smile.
She had worked her way up from a remote town most people couldn’t even find on a map, only to be dismissed again and again once employers saw where she came from.
Aurora and the others exchanged startled glances. The idea that someone could be rejected purely because of their background struck them as absurd,
Wasn’t the whole point of working so hard to earn a place at a top university to prove oneself, contribute, and build a future?
Turning someone away over family origins seemed not only unfair, but ridiculous.
