The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call

Chapter 1604 The Lounge

With a bang, the woman's words were interrupted.

It wasn't just Melanie who came in. A distinguished-looking man, Edward Masons, followed her. He was wearing a white coat and gold-rimmed glasses.

"Ms. Johansson, this employee isn't suitable for work given her current mental state. You should let her go. I fear that she might hurt people," he said.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

"Sure, Dr. Masons. I'll go with your advice." Melanie seemed conflicted. "Please handle this gently--we're still colleagues, after all. We wouldn't want to ruin the company's reputation."

"Alright."

After that, security guards rushed in and forcefully dragged the woman out.

Melanie turned to the students, looking apologetic but saying casually, "I'm so sorry-none of us expected her to show up here. She used to work in Human Resources, too.

"After some things happened at home, she's been acting like this. She'd come in and tell the students nonsense, things like 'leave now' or 'don't come back.' It's been a real headache for us."

The students were skeptical, mainly because they were still terrified.

Melanie consoled them, saying, "Relax this won't happen again. Just calm down and focus on your preparations. Don't let this affect your next round of interviews, alright?"

"Don't worry, Ms. Johansson. We'll do our best!" Camila shouted.

Elsie, on the other hand, visibly tensed up. She recognized the woman from earlier that morning.

Just as she was still scared, another realization dawned on her. Everything happening in the lounge wouldn't go unnoticed-they were monitored.

So, when someone else asked her again, she simply shook her head and glanced at the surveillance cameras. Seeing her behave this way, Juniper muttered, "If you're that scared, why bother being an exchange student? Just listen to her and leave, then no one's stopping you. You're freaking us out, too."

Elsie indeed wanted to leave. Yet, like Eliana, she had someone to take care of at home. She couldn't just pass up this incredible opportunity.

She had heard how many students were sponsored to enter prestigious universities, which landed them great jobs later on. She wanted to be like them, too—she didn't want her father to worry anymore.

"I didn't say I want to leave. I just feel that something's off. Who exactly was that woman?"

"Why are you so curious about her? Eat up. The lady just now said that there'll be another round of interviews. That wouldn't even be the final one-more eliminations will come."

Even so, Elsie still couldn't put her mind at ease.

The five of them sat still in their seats. What happened just now would easily make anyone overthink. Yet, thinking of their future ahead of them, that uneasy feeling was nothing much.

Elsie noticed that only "Eliana" seemed oddly calm. Staying silent, she was gazing intently at a corner of the lounge.

Elsie approached her and asked, "You find this strange too, don't you?"

Knowing they were being monitored, Wynter could only put on an act. "Strange? Nope. Hasn't that lady already told us? It was just her colleague acting up."

"I thought you'd be on my side," Elsie muttered. "Look-you've eaten nothing at all."

Hearing Elsie's words, Wynter realized something. She quickly picked up a glass of fruit juice. "I'm just not

hungry. I'll see how it goes after the second interview."

"Alright, then."

Just as they were talking, there was a loud thud.

Out of the blue, Camila fainted, her head hitting the table as she collapsed. Juniper and Brielle soon followed.
