The internship is for 3 months and there will be an interview after the internship which you have to clear to get the job.
X is also a young graduate who has been selected for the internship. You and X have been assigned projects to work during the internship. X is smart and hardworking; she can easily finish the project. As it isn’t your area of expertise you are struggling to finish it. You had expected that the internship would involve training, but the company is expecting you to work on your own. You have asked X for help but she isn’t friendly and doesn’t help you. After a lot of struggles and help from others at the office, you have completed the project. Three months pass by; you are not confident of getting the job as X is your competitor.

Now you just have to attend the interview and not worry about clearing it. You meet X that evening, she says that she badly wants the job as her family is struggling financially.
