That answer was way more solid than all those flashy but empty words.
The applicantâs voice sounded somewhat familiar like heâd heard it somewhere before Quinton looked up, his pupils dilating in an instant. Isnât this Ellinor?!
Ellinor smiled at him, relaxed and natural.
Quinton came back to his senses and recalled Ellinor being somewhat disrespectful to the key members of the company, which left a bad taste in his mouth.
âMs Mendoza, what are you doing here?â
âApplying for a job!â
Quinton frowned even more. âYouâre applying to be the Executive Secretary to the CEO?â
Ellinor nodded confidently. âYes!â
Quinton didnât like Ellinor and suspected she had ulterior motives. He said coldly, Iâm sorry, but the CEO probably wouldnât want you to be his Executive Secretary. You can leave now Next!â
Ellinor didnât move and kept smiling. âHow do you know the CEO wouldnât want me as his secretary?
Quinton was about to speak, but Ellinor beat him to the punch, âAre you guessing?â
Quinton was speechless.
âSo the company isnât very strict about recruitment? Can interviewers decide applicantsâ fate based on subjective guesses about the bossâs preferences rather than evaluating the applicantsâ abilities?â
Quinton found Ellinor quite difficult to deal with, âSo what do you suggest?â
Ellinor sat up straight, âI hope you can take a serious look at my CV and evaluate whether Iâm qualified to join your company. If not, please give me a valid reason for my rejection.â
Unable to refute, Quinton lowered his head to look at her CV. She was highly educated and had worked for many topâtier companies.
Her education and work experience were impeccable. There was really nothing you could fault her for based on her CV!
So Quinton raised his head and asked her again, âWhy did you say you wanted to apply for this position?â
Ellinor didnât change her answer, âBecause the pay is good!â
Quinton sneered, âYour goal is so vulgar. We donât need people like you in our company!â
Ellinor raised an eyebrow, not backing down, âThen why are you working for this company? Isnât it for the money? Or are you here for love? You must be deeply in love with the CEO then!â
After being teased like this, Quinton turned green with anger, âWhat kind of attitude is this? What nonsense are you talking about?â
âHave you ever heard the saying, âLife is like a mirror. What you give is what you get. If I have no manners, it shows that youâre no better!â
âYou!â Quinton couldnât continue arguing with her and was getting impatient. He told her to leave directly. âYour personality isnât a good fit for this job. You can leave now Let the next person in!â
Ellinor didnât care, âIâm the last one. Interviewer, you donât have another choice; stop picking and choosing. How long are you going to wait to find a suitable secretary for your boss? Just choose me!â
Quinton stared at her speechlessly. He really wanted to call security to escort this shameless woman out, but then he remembered that she used to be Theoâs wife, and he had to consider the Blanchet family After some thought, Quinton stood up and left the room to call Balfour.
In the CEOâs office of the Howard Group.
Balfour was checking his emails on the computer. He picked up the phone casually, heard Quintonâs report, and froze, âEllinor is applying?â
âYes, she refuses to leave no matter what. It seems like she wonât give up until she gets this job opportunity! Boss, Iâve never seen such a shameless applicant!â
âBring her to my office.â
âYes, boss!â
