Chapter 14
The next day, Yunia didn’t wake up until the afternoon, groggily opening her eyes just as the room clock struck three.
Seeing the completely unfamiliar furnishings when she opened her eyes, she felt momentarily disoriented.
After a while, she finally realized-
She had arrived in a completely new country and had a completely new room.
It was midsummer, and the weather was considerably hotter than back home.[]
Thinking she still needed to prepare for the interview, Yunia decided to go out and explore.
By evening, Yunia returned home with bags full of purchases.
Besides the clothes she needed, Yunia had bought many daily necessities, gradually filling the previously empty wardrobe and kitchen.
Yunia also found the nearest Asian supermarket and followed a recipe to make herself a flavorful chicken stew.

The day of the interview arrived.[]
Yunia repeatedly adjusted her shirt collar in the mirror—the light orange chiffon blouse was specially chosen for the interview.]
She had been eating and sleeping well these past few days, and the shirt made her look particularly vibrant.[]
The location her aunt had sent showed Claude Design was located in a landmark office building in the city center. As she walked through the revolving door in her high heels, her palms were slightly damp with sweat.]
The interview room was on the 32nd floor, with floor–to–ceiling windows overlooking a massive glass curtain wall.
The lead interviewer, a woman, smiled warmly: “Ms. Bolden, please tell us about your design philosophy.”
Yunia immediately responded with her original ideas in an organized manner.
Before she finished speaking, the office door was suddenly pushed open, revealing a very familiar face.[]
It was Zayn from the airplane.[]
“CEO Zayn, this is today’s interviewee,” the interviewer stood up to introduce.
Zayn glanced at the resume on the table and nodded approvingly.[]
His gaze lingered on her face for a moment before he suddenly asked: “Do you have a boyfriend? Any plans to get married soon? I don’t want my future capable assistant dropping the ball at critical moments.“[]
Zayn’s words left the room silent

Yunia’s expression remained open and direct as she met his probing gaze behind his glasses: “No.“[]
“Good. Your qualifications are excellent, and you have enough experience. Name your salary–start tomorrow.“[]
Zayn dropped this statement and turned to leave.[]
The other interviewers exchanged glances, with the youngest colleagues whispering: “This is unprecedented, right? CEO Zayn has never done this before.“[]
Yunia herself wasn’t particularly excited. She continued talking with the interviewers and then went home.]
When her aunt called that evening, Yunia was crouched in the villa’s backyard watering the sunflowers.
“Yunia, congratulations on passing the interview!”
Her aunt’s laughter carried pride: “I heard the Ravenish family isn’t just dominant in aviation–they’re leaders in other industries too, and design has been a key focus of their rapid development in recent years. You should be able to learn a lot.“[]
Yunia agreed with this assessment.
The sound of birds taking flight came from the distance, and she suddenly realized that some stories had already ended behind her.
And a new chapter was beginning with the wind of this summer night.]
