Kash believed this would peak Curt's curiosity, and when the old man did find out the newcomer's name, it would leave a more lasting impression.

However, Curt had just accepted Maria as his student. In his opinion,

Kash's recommendation was certainly not on par with Maria.

With this in mind, he didn't bother to ask any more questions. Curt lost interest almost as soon as Kash confirmed the candidate was his student.

"Oh, I see. Put the materials on the table. I'll read them later when I have time," Curt said casually.

“What? This..."

Kash was stunned. He was ready to introduce Vivian the moment Curt asked about her, but he had now missed the small window of opportunity. His plan backfired and now he couldn't say a word.

He had no choice, but to place Vivian's file and application form on the table. It seemed that Curt wasn't interested in reading them right now.

Well... Vivian's final evaluation is at risk. I'm afraid it will take a long time to get the results. Kash thought.

Concerned about this, Kash suddenly saw another application to join the Writers’ Association on the corner of Curt's desk.

He could feel his heart starting to beat faster. He was curious about who else applied, and for a more senior position.

Joining the Writers' Association was a difficult, competitive process that only writers with the highest potential could be recommended to join. And there would be harsh evaluation work.

Kash had evaluated Vivian's application in the preliminary assessment. However, as he was only a two-star writer, he was not qualified to review the application of a five-star writer.

“Mr. Willows, is this another candidate's application to join the Writers’ Association?" Kash asked with an innocent, but curious tone while pointing at the material on Curt's desk.

“What? Oh, this is..

Curt was about to say “yes.”

But on second thought, he realized that his top student was going to be a five-star writer. There was no point in responding to Kash's question since he was not qualified enough to even evaluate such an application.

Coming to this conclusion, Curt waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's none of your business. Don't ask any more questions. Focus on your own responsibilities."

Curt's response immediately solidified the answer for Kash. It must be the other candidate's application waiting for finally evaluation, but it was a pity that he wasn't allowed to review it.

As he left the building, Vivian caught Kash's eye. She was eager to find out what happened with her assessment.

“Mr. Debenham, are there any issues with my file and application?"

In fact, Vivian really wanted to know if she had passed the final evaluation.

If everything went well, she was ready to tweet about it. Recently, the news that Polly, Vivian's secret identity as an online writer, submitted an application to be a one-star writer attracted a lot of attention on Twitter.

She was eager to publicly announce that she would officially become a member at the Sheffield Writers' Association too.
