** Harper **
"I may have … misspelled my name."
"…"
Harper stared at the girl, who she thought was quite smart based on the interview just a moment ago. Yet this was such a dumb lie that she had to reconsider the assessment.
"You misspelled your name?" she asked, not hiding the suspicion in her voice. Totally likely story, to misspell something you've been writing all your life and submit it on a job application without double checking!
At least all the myths surrounding the "scammer" finally made sense now. Because Emory Starling didn't exist in the first place. Because—
"Alright, alright, I'll be honest." The girl shrank a little when she faced Harper's stare. "I was doing it on purpose. I tried to hide my last name, which is Sterling, not Starling."
— because …
Oh.
"And before you ask, yes, it's the same Sterling from Sterling Trust. My father is the owner of your investment company."
… Oh.
