Lenora was well aware of the growing power of the internet, as more and more people were venturing into the realm of social media.
Some people created engaging and informing videos, making money through views and advertising revenue. Others made videos with the goal of showcasing the allure of their professions, using the internet to drum up business for themselves. Lenora thought to herself that she probably fell into the latter category even though she had never made a video before.
After understanding the customer's needs, Lenora discussed the details with the customer and provided a
quote.
The students studying abroad were generally from affluent families and were there primarily because of Lenora. They immediately agreed, paid the deposit, and scheduled a photoshoot for the following weekend.
Lenora spent some time searching online for job listings at photography studios. After careful
consideration, she selected a few that appealed to her-including one that owned by a friend of Ezekiel- and submitted her resume.
By the time everything was done, it was nearing midnight. Lenora had freshened up and then decided to
rest.
The following day, without any plans to go out, Lenora decided to sleep until she naturally woke up.
Unexpectedly, a sudden ring of the phone jolted her awake from her sleep.
When she opened her groggy eyes, she was greeted by a jarring ray of sunlight slipping through the gap in the curtains and landing upon pillow.
Lenora stretched lazily, turning over to pick up her phone and glanced at the time. It was a little past eight in the morning.
The incoming call displayed a local number that was unfamiliar.
Yawning, Lenora answered the call, "Hello! Who is this?"
A male voice came through the phone. "May I speak with Ms. Fay, please?"
"Speaking."
"This is Caitlan Photography; I'm the manager here. You can call me Alan. I've had a chance to review your resume and I must say, I'm quite impressed. I would like to sincerely invite you for an interview at our studio. When would you be available?" Lenora instantly perked up, sitting upright on the bed. "I'm quite free. I can go for an interview at any time."
"How about... two o'clock this afternoon?"

"Sure."
"Alright, the studio's address is... Remember to arrive on time"
"Alright."
After ending the call, Lenora quickly searched the address given by Alan on the map. She confirmed that it was a proper commercial office building and not some suspicious secluded spot, which put her mind at ease.
She lingered in bed for a while longer before finally getting up to freshen up, preparing herself for the afternoon interview.
While having breakfast, Lenora received a response from another photography studio, which extended an invitation for an interview as well.
She wasn't sure when the afternoon interview would end, so she scheduled the interview at the second studio for the following morning.
In the afternoon, when Lenora was en route to Caitlan Photography by taxi, she received an interview invitation from a third studio. This studio happened to be owned by a friend of Ezekiel. The interview was scheduled for the following afternoon. Lenora arrived at Caitlan Photography five minutes early. She explained her purpose to the receptionist, who then directed her to wait in an office.
Lenora subtly scanned the surroundings of the studio; it was exquisitely decorated and seemed quite decent.
Having sat in the office for a couple of minutes, a young foreigner entered the room. He appeared to be in his thirties and carried himself with an air of elegance.
"Hello, I'm Fay."
"Hello, I'm Alan."
The two exchanged a handshake. With a smile, Alan gestured invitingly. "Please, have a seat."
Following that, Alan proceeded to ask questions about Lenora's previous job, works, and style that piqued her interest.
The two of them conversed casually, showing no sense of formality.
"I believe I have a pretty good understanding of your abilities now," he said. "Is there anything you would like to know about the studio?"
Lenora posed a question about an issue that concerned her, to which Alan responded accordingly.
Roughly an hour passed, and the interview was concluded.
Alan agreed to inform Lenora of the interview results three days later.
Thereafter, Lenora stepped out of the office building, letting out a sigh.

She felt that the interview had gone relatively smoothly
During the second interview, Lenora didn't find it as easy as the first one,
The person conducting the interview at this studio was niddle-aged. There was always a scrutinizing look in his eyes when he looked at her, and he even brought up racial issues during their conversation. Lenora wished for a more open and friendly work environment. She didn't expect to be treated like a friend, but at the very least, she hoped not to be discriminated against.
Therefore, regardless of whether this studio decided to hire her or not, she had already dismissed the idea of working there.
In the afternoon, Lenora attended her third job interview.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
The photography studio owned by Ezekiel's friend was named Saleel Photography. It was situated in a storefront located in the heart of the city.
From a distance, Lenora spotted the sign for Saleel Photography.
The exterior wall of the storefront was made of glass, providing an immediate glimpse into its interior.
Beyond the Epean style decor, Lenora also noticed a few plastic mannequins placed near the window. Some were dressed in moderns outfits, while a few were clad in traditional Clusian attire.
It seemed that this photography studio also offered a clothing rental service.
The interviewer was a woman named Lilliane, a local.
Perhaps due to the studio owner being Clusian, Lilliane was very friendly toward Lenora. The interview process went incredibly smoothly.
After it ended, Lilliane personally escorted Lenora to the door.
At that moment, a man and a woman, both with Aplothian features, emerged from the photo-selection room, engaged in light-hearted banter.
The woman caught a glimpse of Lenora up ahead, suddenly finding the latter vaguely familiar. She took a closer look and a realization struck her, triggering a hostile glint in her eyes.
She tilted her chin in Lenora's direction and asked the man beside her, "Wesley, what is she here for?"
The man named Wesley appeared to be in his thirties and was dressed in a suit.
Upon hearing this, he looked up at Lenora. He didn't recognize her, but when he saw Liliane standing next to her, he understood. "She must be here interviewing for the position of a photographer." "Oh..." The woman looked at Lenora, a thoughtful flicker igniting in the depths of her eyes.
"What's wrong? Do you know her?"
"I don't," the woman said.
However, I do hold a grudge against her. I hadn't expected to run into this country bumpkin of all places.

The memory of her initial humiliation still burned within her. The way she was chastised by the manager and chased out of the store by the sales assistant was a huge blow to her dignity, Moreover, she remembered the smug look on Leonora and her friend's face back then. Despite the fact that several months had passed, the woman still couldn't
quell the flames of indignation in her heart..
She was determined to put Leonora in her place.
Wesley noticed something was off, but seeing the woman claim that she didn't know Leonora, he didn't press further,
If Lenora had turned around, she would have certainly recognized the woman.
A few months ago, Lenora and Sophia were on a flight to Archulea when they encountered a woman who was being unreasonable. The latter insisted on swapping seats with her, even going as far as to mock her.
Later on, at Queen Valkyrie Building
in Sloummont, Lenora and Sophia ran into the woman again. This time, a disagreement arose over a wristwatch. In the end, the situation was resolved when the manager escorted the woman out.
However, Lenora did not turn around.
After bidding farewell to Lilliane, she then spent the day wandering around the nearby area, not returning home until the evening.
For the next two days, Lenora passed the time with leisure activities while waiting for the results of her job interviews.
Before long, she received news.
As expected, she passed the interviews at Caitlan Photography and Saleel Photography but failed the one at the second company.
After comparing the workplaces, job responsibilities, and salary of the two companies, Lenora ultimately chose to work for Saleel Photography.
One of the reasons why Lenora chose Saleel Photography was because a portion of its clientele were of Clusian descent. The studio also offered a project that involved photoshoots in traditional Clusian. costumes, an experience that many locals were keen to try.
