Chapter 59 “Erin! Is that you?!”

Darius and Erin both turned to the direction of the voice. Erin in particular was surprised when she heard her name. The voice of the person sounded very familiar to her. She wondered who the person who called her name was. Soon enough the person came into their line of sight. Erin face instantly morphed from one of surprise to irritation when she saw the person. It was none other than her college classmate, Vanessa Floyd.

Vanessa and Erin both attended a highly rated college in their district. Although it was a far cry from universities like Kingston University, which Darius attended, it was still a top university.

Vanessa and Erin were both regarded as the goddesses of their college. Not only were they incredibly beautiful, they were also very brilliant book wise, as they came out with top results after every exam.

However, despite being worshipped by both students and lecturers in the college alike, the two did not get along with each other. Vanessa most especially hated Erin passionately.

The reason was because she was always placed second to Erin. For someone with a very huge ego, she could not accept that she was placed second to Erin. She always thought she was better than Erin in everything, and therefore it was unacceptable for her to be second to her.

Her mindset sparked the beginning of an intense rivalry with Erin. The two had battled it out throughout their course of study in the university and much to Vanessa’s displeasure, Erin emerged on top every single time.

When they both graduated from college, they went their separate paths. As Vanessa’s father was part of the upper management in a top company, she didn’t have a hard time getting a job. That wasn’t the case for Erin however.

Vanessa was very happy when she heard that Erin hadn’t gotten a job. It proved that she was indeed superior to Erin. Even though her father had pulled some strings for her to get a job, she still started from the most basic rank available

Due to her brilliance, in just one year, she rose from a bottom office worker to become part of the upper management in the clothing company. Pleased with her work input and brilliant ideas which the company benefited greatly from, they transferred her to this branch to be the manager of the store. There were even talks of promoting her to be on the same level as her father in the company.

Erin was still out searching for a job. When she later got a job, Vanessa naturally knew about it. She didn’t place much interest in it because the company Erin chose to work for was a very shabby one. When the company rose to fame however, Vanessa felt threatened once again. Just as Erin was
