RankNovelChapter 745: Brenda found herself captivated by this bold approach-the rare ability to shatter norms and pioneer fresh perspectives. At that moment, she recognized something hauntingly familiar: the articulate conviction, the radiant self-assurance glowing in Rachel's eyes. It mirrored her youthful brilliance, that unshakable confidence she hadn't experienced in years.
Strangely, she'd rediscovered it in Rachel.

"How did you arrive at such forward-thinking ideas? A woman of your age should still be chasing romantic ideals, shouldn't she?" "Experience," Rachel responded, her tone pared down to essential honesty.
Brenda's head tilted upward, her gaze narrowing faintly as she searched for the unspoken truth behind that single syllable.
Rachel paused momentarily, gathering her thoughts before speaking with a composed yet honest tone. "I understand your surprise, but there's no need to hide it from you. If you had looked closer at my resume, you would have seen that I marked 'divorced' under marital status." Brenda, visibly taken aback, stared at her with wide eyes.

After a pause, Rachel composed herself and turned to Brenda, who was watching her expectantly. "I apologize. It seems I may have misremembered," she said, her voice steady but laced with a touch of uncertainty. "I thought I had written it, but it seems I was mistaken." Brenda accepted the explanation with professional grace. The omission made practical sense-why would any candidate voluntarily disclose such personal information?
