Love At The Wrong Table

“Hehe. You have nothing to say for yourself now, right?”

Beatrix smiled gleefully. Just as she was about to teach

him a lesson, Emmanuel said calmly, “This isn’t a

candlelight dinner. I’m only treating her to a meal to

thank her.”

“Huh? Thank her?” Beatrix was surprised.

That never crossed Beatrix’s mind. “I was the one who

helped you that night. You should be treating me

instead. Why are you treating her to a meal? Is it

because you like her? In what way am I not better than

Claudette?” she asked, riled up.

She even puffed her chest when she finished her

sentence.

Emmanuel was at a loss for words. Ms. Beatrix is really

an active person. Her personality’s the complete

opposite of that icy woman. Mm… I’m sure they’re not

related by blood.

“Ms. Beatrix, you’ve misunderstood the situation. I’m not

thanking her because of that. She was the one who

helped my mother get the ward back.”

That was when Emmanuel told her what happened at

the hospital.

At the same time, he found the situation odd. Why is

she asking weird questions during a job interview?

“I see…” Beatrix stroked her chin.

Mackenzie must be feeling upset because of this

matter. I wonder if there’ll be any changes to her mood

if I tell her the truth.

“Yes. If you don’t mind, I can treat you to a meal to

thank you too.”

“Really?”

“Yes, but I can only treat you to a normal meal

because I’m low on funds,” Emmanuel explained

frankly, his cheeks blushing.

“All right. I’ll hire you because of this meal. You can

come to work from tomorrow onward and become my

errand boy,” informed Beatrix while clapping.

“Huh?‘

Just like that?

Emmanuel froze for a few seconds before saying,

“Thank you, Ms. Beatrix.”

Seeing him stepping out of the room, Alessandra

hurried over and asked, “Manny, how did the interview

go?”

Since Emmanuel was the first to get interviewed, many

interviewees eyed him nervously.

“Haha! He must’ve failed! I’ve never heard of a high

school graduate getting hired at Terence Group,”

Jacob mocked.

“Exactly. All the employees at Terence Group are highly

educated people.”

“This position requires an individual to have professional knowledge. They’ll never hire him.”

A few youngsters discussed softly by the side.

Ignoring them, Emmanuel answered, “Mom, I got the

job. I’ll start working tomorrow, so you really don’t have

to work.”

“What?”

The youngsters‘ eyes almost popped out of their heads

in astonishment. One of them even dropped their

glasses.

He got hired?

A young lady quickly approached and asked softly, “What did they ask during the interview?”

It was apparent that she wanted to join Terence Group

and have a promising career plan.

“The questions are a little odd. Are you sure you want to hear them?” Emmanuel asked sincerely. He was not

a petty person.

“Yes, please. Thank you, mister.”

The young lady clasped her hands together with an

expectant look on her face.

Even Jacob and the others pricked up their ears.

“Have you ever had any affairs?”

“Huh?”

The first question caught the young lady by surprise.

Regardless, Emmanuel had already expected that

reaction from her. After all, that was his first reaction,

too. Unfazed by her response, he continued, “Have you

ever had a candlelight dinner with someone of the.

opposite gender?” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“What?” Jacob shrieked.

What kind of questions are these? What do they have

to do with the position?

Ignoring their reactions, Emmanuel continued with the

last question, “The interviewer also asked in what way

is she not better than Ms. Claudette Lenoir.”

Jacob almost screamed, and the young lady was

speechless.

Even the other interviewees around them were

dumbfounded. What kind of interview is this?

However, Emmanuel appeared honest. He did not look

like he was lying.

Of course, Emmanuel did not care if they believed him

or not. He simply wished them luck and left with

Alessandra.
