Melanie Taylor didn’t care about Finn Taylor’s personal life, and that was why she had only just found out about the latter’s divorce. “Sis, what do you think that piece of trash will think if I manage to woo that woman?”

Melanie Taylor immediately retorted him, “You better not play around. This isn’t South-East Asia. You don’t have any elders protecting you.”

Levi Taylor was used to doing as he pleased in South-East Asia. After all, there was nothing anyone could do to him.

However, this wasn’t South-East Asia. Who knew what would happen to him if he were to fool around here?

“Don’t worry, Sis. I don’t like to force myself onto others. I’ll win over her heart and then her body. That’s how I roll.”

Melanie Taylor wasn’t going to interfere in her brother’s affairs as long as he knew his limits and didn’t do anything against the law. Besides, nobody could escape her brother’s grasp once they caught his eye.

…

Michelle Yeller and Josie Meyer arrived at the Larson Corporation. What shocked them was that they were led to the CEO—David Sullivan’s office after reporting their names.

It was the CEO of the company who personally conducted their interview.

That naturally puzzled Michelle Yeller, but her best friend simply thought that they were exceptional talents whom the company wanted to cultivate.

“I have just one question. The Larson Corporation is facing an unprecedented crisis, so many companies have sent corporate spies over to try to take a share of the pie. How can you convince me that you guys aren’t spies?” David Sullivan asked an acute question.

An average candidate wouldn’t have been able to answer this question and might’ve even left immediately after hearing the question. It was no different from doubting one’s loyalty. In that case, it was best not to work there.

However, Josie Meyer was different. She felt that she was being questioned exactly because she was a talent they wanted to groom. “I’m sorry, but I think your company is in such a bad state that there’s no need for any spies to come here.”

Her answer rendered her interviewer speechless. ‘Who would tell the CEO of a company during an interview that the company sucks? Aren’t you asking for a beating?’

Michelle Yeller was trembling inwardly, but to her surprise, the CEO said, “Congratulations. You’re both hired.”

‘Am I hearing things? This… Hired? Wasn’t Josie insulting them earlier? But they’re still hiring us?’ What the young girl didn’t know was that David Sullivan had no way to reject them. Finn Taylor had called him earlier and had even instructed him on the designations for the two young ladies.

“You’re Josie Meyer, right? You’re quite eloquent, so I’ll send you to the public relations department to be the secretary of the manager there. As for you, Michelle Yeller… You look rather obedient. I’m sure you know of Yvette Larson—our previous chairman and the only daughter of our current chairmen. You’ll be her secretary.”

‘Why am I being sent to the public relations department while Michelle gets to stay in the chairman’s office? Do I look like someone who will give myself up for the company’s sake?’ Needless to say, Josie Meyer was indignant. “I refuse. I’m not going to the public relations department.”

David Sullivan chuckled. “That’s not for you to decide. You can either go to the public relations department or leave.”

He pointed at the door. There was no way he was going to compromise, even if Finn Taylor turned up. If he didn’t even have the authority to make this decision as a CEO, the company would be doomed.

“I…” Josie Meyer clenched her fist, feeling injustice. Yet, there was nothing she could do.

She couldn’t possibly leave the company. The Larson Corporation was her chance of turning her life around!

“Fine, I’ll go to the public relations department. Will that do?” She stood up and asked, “How do I get there?”

The CEO turned to the man beside him. “Ken, bring the newcomers around the company and introduce them to everyone.”

He then left and returned to his office to call his boss. “Mr. Taylor, the two ladies have been hired.”

“How’s it going? Is Josie Meyer difficult to deal with?”

“She isn’t just difficult to deal with. She’s a whole character. I asked her why she was here at our company and how I could be sure that she wasn’t a spy. Guess what she said?”

“I’m sure I won’t be able to guess the answer, but it must’ve been sharp.”

“Yes, she said that the Larson Corporation is trash and that nobody would bother sending any spies here.”

Finn Taylor burst out into laughter upon hearing that. “Find them later and tell them about their salaries. Josie Meyer will be paid 700 dollars a month, while Michelle Yeller will be paid 1,200 dollars a month.”

“Huh?” David Sullivan was confused. ‘Although Michelle Yeller works in the chairman’s office, they are still secretaries all the same. Logically speaking, their salaries should be similar too. Why does Finn Taylor have to differentiate them?’

However, David Sullivan kept his questions to himself since it was the latter’s company after all. He had the final say as to how much he wanted to pay his employees.

As David Sullivan walked out of the office, Ken happened to be walking past with the two new hires. “Mr. Sullivan.”

“Oh, are you guys about done looking around the place?”

Michelle Yeller was polite. “Yes, we’re about done, Mr. Sullivan.”

“Alright, I’ll tell you guys about your salaries. Josie Meyer, you’ll be paid 700 dollars. Michelle Yeller, you’ll be paid 1,200 dollars.”

Josie Meyer was clearly agitated after hearing that. “We’re both secretaries. Why is my salary so much lower than hers?”

Typically, David Sullivan wouldn’t answer such questions. However, he faced Josie Meyer head-on. “We were only going to hire one new employee at 1,500 dollars a month. This young lady is more suitable for the job than you, but we need manpower now. Therefore, we decided to keep you. The sum of both of your salaries already exceeds our original budget.”

David Sullivan made it clear that he had no intention of hiring her in the first place.

Josie Meyer was rendered speechless, but she couldn’t possibly resign from the job. “Fine, 700 dollars it is. Can I ask if there’s a chance for me to be promoted and get a salary raise if I do well?”

David Sullivan nodded. “Of course. Everyone has an equal chance of being promoted as long as they perform well.”

That was all Josie Meyer needed to hear.. She believed that she was perfect after all.
