As Rita lay in bed and wrapped herself up completely in the blanket, she finally felt a hint of warmth.
"Con, Rita. More challenges await you tomorrow," she mumbled to herself.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe next morning, Rita got up as if nothing happened. After all, she had becused to the way things were in the family after enduring it for so many years. Moreover, not having to face those people day in and day out was already a rare joy.
However, her rare good mood did not last long. As soon as she arrived at the newspaper office, she was subjected to sembarrassing remarks from her nitpicking older colleagues.
"Oh wow, our little princess is here so early. But what's the point of that? She can't even manage to get an interview." "That's where you don't understand. Even though she can't secure an interview, she still needs to show the right attitude. Otherwise, why would the higher-ups keep her around? Just because she's a princess?" The two annoying male colleagues exchanged a smirk. Their voices alone made Rita want to puke. She took a deep breath and heavily dropped her bag.
"You're right. I didn't manage to secure an interview with Claire Bourne," she remarked casually, "but speople just have that much tto spend onwhen they haven't even finished their articles. I should thank them for their concern. Well, I can only pray that these people won't get confused and just copy someone else's article." The reporters in New Capital Times were hired based on their abilities. Rita was able to stay in the job, not because she was a Russell but mainly because she could write and interview with great empathy. As reporters, having empathy was not enough. The most important thing was to have rationality. Unfortunately, Rita's strengths were all overshadowed by her surname. Still, she firmly believed that as long as she could becstrong enough, everyone would one day acknowledge her exceptional qualities.
"Who are you insinuating against?" "Huh?" Rita widened her eyes innocently and turned. "Whoever feels targeted by my words, that's who I'm talking about. Don't tellyou think I'm talking about you. Ok con, you wouldn't really do something like that, would you? Tsk tsk you've been in this business for so long. How could you secretly use someone else's article? Oh, I get it. It's not called 'stealing' when it's something done by intellectuals. Isn't that right?" "Hmph, I've explained myself regarding that matter. It's up to you whether to believeor not!" Rita felt a sense of satisfaction seeing her colleague so infuriated but unable to vent his frustration. Who said she had to swallow her pride? She refused to do so.
Since she had not received a response from Claire yet, she could only patiently wait for her reply. She knew Claire's personality was level-headed, and it might backfire if she contacted her out of the blue.

A few seasoned male colleagues could not help but gather and gossip amongst themselves.
"Don't tellshe's capable of
securing the interview with Claire? Chase, Claire didn't even respond to you even though you tried to contact N her several times before. That stupid Rita will brag to us if she manages to contact her!" Chase Crawford scoffed. "It's just like you said. I've tried to contact Claire several times, but she didn't even bother to respond. Do you
really think she'll bother with a lowly intern then? I've been in this industry years, white she's only for so many in been in for a few months. You're underestimating me.
"Moreover, you've all heard of Claire's reputation. Every reporter is tired of her. No matter how much we tried, she refused to let any of us interview her. I've tried every trick in the book, but if she says no, she means no." X
