Michelle Quinn returned to her apartment and placed the competition trophy in the display case, right next to a photo of her and Nina Walsh.
Five years ago, when she was transferred to the sales department, the design director, Diana, pulled some strings and had her moved to the worst-performing store.
After arriving at the store, she discovered that the clothes being sold didn't match the local customers' style at all, so she displayed clothes from another designer under the Lawson Group in the window.
That day, she had been planning to return to Crestfall, but because of a surprise inspection from Diana, she had to stay at her post.
When Diana saw that all the clothes she had designed were piled up in the stockroom, she flew into a rage. Abusing her authority, she ordered Michelle Quinn to move all the clothes out and iron them until they were perfectly smooth.
