Chapter 390
Jessica pursed her lips.
“It was my idea,” Leslie suddenly said.
Cynthia looked at Leslie in disbelief. “Are you saying that we’re looking for female employees? But isn’t it our company’s rule…”
Leslie then spoke in a serious tone, saying, “Rules are meant to be flexible. Besides, Jessica and Maria at the front desk are doing a great job. They’re professional,
comprehensive, and they handle client interactions more meticulously than men. They save us a lot of unnecessary trouble.
“Not to mention, they also handle office affairs promptly. So, we can’t generalize. And besides, you’re a woman too.”
Upon hearing this, Cynthia’s feet hurt as if she were stepping on nails.
After all, everyone was aware that her presence in the company was out of ordinary too.
Initially, when they hired Jessica and Maria for the front desk, she could still reassure herself that they were just nobodies. Besides, they weren’t involved in internal matters so it wasn’t anything serious. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
But now, Leslie had shattered her special presence and pride bit by bit.
Cynthia knew that this all had to be related to Aurelia, and as she thought of this, she clenched her fists and turned to smile at Leslie. “You’re right. I’ll go for the interviews
then.”
“Daniel will join you for the interviews. Make sure to choose wisely,” Leslie calmly said.
Cynthia’s heart skipped a beat, but she still nodded in response. “Okay:”
With that, Cynthia went out to meet the candidates.
However, she caught Jessica and Maria chatting as she left.
Jessica was excited as she said, “You won’t believe it, but Mr. Synder just praised the two
of us.”
Maria clicked her tongue. “I didn’t expect that. Mr. Synder changed his temper after getting married. We’ve been here for so long, and he can’t even remember my name correctly. Yet, he praised us. It seems like Ms. Simmons is indeed amazing.”
“Yeah, definitely. Did you notice the big bump on his forehead this morning? A cautious person like him
wouldn’t just bump into things so clumsily, right?”
“Now that you mention it, they really are a perfect match.”
Jessica and Maria were chatting and laughing, but they immediately stopped and looked up when they heard some deliberately loud footsteps behind them.
“Ms. Whitlock.”
“The company hired you to work, not to chat,” Cynthia scolded.
“We understand.” Jessica and Marla exchanged glances but didn’t dare to say anything. Instead, they simply lowered their heads and started tidying up the things on the table. After that, Cynthia headed to the meeting room for the interviews with Daniel.
As she observed each confident and beautiful woman, Cynthia’s emotions became inexplicably complex. And despite her efforts to find flaws in the female applicants, Daniel still selected three women in the end.
Cynthia couldn’t find any fault in their resumés either. So, she could only assess their performance during the trial period.
Aurelia stayed at the hospital until the afternoon. Then, she headed to the IN Magazine Publisher.
To her surprise, she was personally greeted by Lucia.
“Welcome, Ms. Simmons.”
“Ms. Lawson, I’m a little surprised by the attention. But don’t worry, I’l take this interview very seriously,” Aurelia assured.
“I trust you. Come, I’ll take you to the makeup room.” Lucia gestured, inviting Aurelia to follow her.
“Okay, thank you.” So, Aurelia followed Lucia to the makeup room, and the makeup artist did her makeup while she discussed the process with Lucia.
However, as the makeup artist lifted Aurelia’s hair, she noticed the slightly red bump on Aurelia’s forehead. “Ms. Simmons, what happened to your forehead?”
Aurelia raised her hand to touch her forehead. Then, she remembered about accidentally bumping heads with Leslie and blushed slightly.
Lucia, being a woman, immediately grasped Aurelia’s embarrassment and gave a faint
smile.
“It’s obvious that you and Mr. Synder are very affectionate, but I’m curious about your relationship dynamic. It doesn’t seem like the traditional one of one partner being dominant over the other, nor does it seem like both of you hold equal control. The vibe between you two is quite subtle.”
“Huh?” Aurelia was startled and puzzled by Lucia’s description. “Really? But we’re just an ordinary couple.”
Lucia enthusiastically waved her hand. “Well, I work for a women’s magazine. So, I’ve seen all types of couples, from celebrity pairs to intellectuals. I have a knack for sensing the dynamics between them.”
“What’s our vibe then?” Aurelia curiously asked.
