“Mr. Kowalski, if you are planning to force me to work with somebody like that, then I refuse to work here any longer! Tori threatened in a fit of rage. She had been hired by Atticus at a high cost, so she was confident that he had to humor her to a certain extent.
“Tori, I don’t mean to criticize you, but do you really think I call the shots in the company? So what if you refuse to work with us? With his abilities, it would not take much effort for Mr. Quarles to hire ten others who are more famous than you. You should think about the possible consequences of offending Mr. Quarles. Take this advice as a kind warning from me. After saying that, Atticus hung up.
At this moment, Tori’s expression became darker than before. She even felt a trace of panic entering her heart. If I no longer work in this company… Having offended her previous employer, she could no longer return to her former position. What’s more, there was always great competition for her current position. If she failed to dominate her position, then she would really have nowhere else to go.
A hint of resentment toward Josephine flashed through the depths of her eyes. It was Josephine who had pushed her into such a miserable predicament.
When Wren saw Josephine returning to her seat, she couldn’t help exclaiming in astonishment, “Why are you back so quickly? Is the interview over?”
“Tori was the only one to interview me, so I found the whole interview session to be a waste of my time, Josephine bluntly explained. “Why was she alone? Don’t tell me… Does she have the final say over the results of the interview?”
“Who cares? In any case, I refuse to be interviewed by her. I will ask Mr. Kowalski to arrange for somebody else to interview me instead. Having said that, Josephine turned on her computer and resumed working.
“Joey, why do you need somebody else to interview you? You could just ask Mr. Quarles to sign your interview form! Wouldn’t that solve all your problems?”
“Really?” Her eyes suddenly lit up at those words. “Of course! Which department will dare to reject you if you have Mr. Quarles’ signature on your interview form? You could join any department you like!” She gave the idea some thought for a moment. “Alright, I’ll follow your advice and ask him to sign the form for me tonight.”
“That’s the way!” Then, Wren leaned over and whispered, “Joey, considering our friendship, I hope you don’t forget about me once you’ve become part of the rich and wealthy! I’m not asking you for much. It’s enough if you add another 300 to my base salary once you become the lady boss of the company!”
Josephine burst into laughter. “What is that? If I really became the lady boss of the company, I’ll be the first to recommend you for the team leader position as soon as the position becomes vacant!”
Wren was so moved by Josephine’s declaration that she immediately threw herself at the other woman and hugged her tightly. ‘My darling Joey, I love you so much!”
At this moment, Josephine’s phone rang. She glanced at the screen and hastily answered the call. “Hello, Mr. Cooke,” ‘Miss Jacobson, please don’t forget about our interview session this afternoon! I specially made time for you, after all.”
“Of course! I will be at the clubhouse on time,” she said. After ending the call, she invited Wren out for lunch together. Since she had an interview in the afternoon, she decided against inviting Ethan out for lunch. Nevertheless, she sent him a message to inform him about her interview appointment in the afternoon.
“Okay. Be safe! Ethan replied. She responded to the message, then went to the canteen with Wren for lunch. Along the way, she received many looks from various people. Some of them even took the initiative to greet her, which made her feel very awkward and embarrassed. That was because most of them were from different departments and she did not know any of them.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and it was soon 2.00PM. Josephine was just about to leave for the interview with her colleague when she received a phone call from one of Dane’s assistants. According to the assistant, Dane had urgent matters to deal with and could not attend the interview today. The interview could only take place the next day. In addition, the assistant invited her to the clubhouse to discuss the topics of their interview tomorrow. When Josephine heard the assistant’s voice. and realized that the assistant was female, she suggested that their meeting take place at a cafe instead. Unfortunately, the female assistant insisted on meeting at the clubhouse.
The truth was that Josephine did not like that kind of gloomy and smoky place. “There’s no helping it. I am working and can’t leave my position. Miss Jacobson, it’s best if you come over!” the female assistant insisted.
Josephine went to her team leader for instructions. Even her team leader seemed puzzled by the fact that Dane had chosen such roundabout interview procedures.
“In any case, they are a large private company. If there are any topics that they wish to avoid in advance, then we have to follow their wishes and avoid those topics so as not to reveal the secrets of their industry.” “Mr. Fox, are you saying that I should discuss the interview questions with his assistant in advance? Josephine asked.
