Yvonne Xander harrumphed, and said, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll complain to the chairman about how you all mistreated me?”Charlotte’s eyes widened in disbelief. What the hell was she up to? She looked at Manager Harper pitifully as if to say, ‘Dear manager, help me out please!’Manager Harper had been working for Marriott International for two decades. He had dealt with all sorts of situations. He gestured with his eyes to comfort Charlotte and signaled her to step aside.“How may I help you, Miss?” Manager Harper leaned against the chair as he asked Yvonne.Yvonne stood there and scoffed, “The chairman told me to look for you and to give me a decent position in this company.”She disrespected him blatantly as he was merely a human resource manager.Manager Harper turned around and glanced at Charlotte.Charlotte immediately said, “She claims to be the younger sister of the chairman’s driver, Monique.”Manager Harper was aware of Monique. The staff from the chairman’s office
Manager Harper was stunned. He was aware that the chairman went out a few days ago but he did not know that he went to their house. Was he there to visit her parents?If Chairman Moore was planning to get engaged, why was there no news about it?Could it be that the chairman did not want others to know? After all, he had a child with her. Was this the reason why the chairman told Yvonne to look for him without notifying him in advance?Rumors were spreading like wildfire in the company. Judging from the photos, he was almost certain that some parts of her story were partially true.Manager Harper chuckled. “Miss Xander, do you have a resume? Or can you briefly introduce yourself?”Yvonne did bring along her resume. She took out the resume that she had prepared earlier from her bag and handed it over to him.Manager Harper ordered Charlotte, “Hurry up and make Miss Xander some coffee.”Charlotte reluctantly stomped off.She had no choice since Yvonne was so well-connected.Char
Manager Harper squinted and thought, ‘Of course not, a janitor would suit you best.’He paused slightly and smiled. “Miss Xander, these are the only jobs that have openings right now. Why don’t you choose them yourself?”Manager Harper handed the application forms to her and said, “These are the ones under my supervision. I would need to negotiate with the respective departments for other jobs. Anything above this executive-level would require the chairman’s permission.”Yvonne humphed and snatched the job forms from him. Her eyes widened instantly as she read the forms. “Sales assistant, planning assistant, public relations assistant, customer service executive...”Yvonne was displeased with the choices presented to her. “That’s all?”Manager Harper nodded and smiled politely. “That’s all we can offer.”Yvonne frowned. Manager Harper had mentioned that these were the only jobs that he could offer as the others would require negotiation with the respective departments. Negotiatio
Monique had no clue that an impending storm was waiting for her at the office.A queue of waiters entered with the ordered dishes. They saw a hunky man wearing a striped shirt. The refracted lights accentuated his chiseled features, thick eyebrows, prominent nose, and his sexy lips.The woman sitting across him was kissing his hand while he tousled her soft locks affectionately.The view was so intimate that they were flustered just by watching them.Monique immediately retracted herself when she saw someone approaching.However, it was too late to take back their impression of her for being so forward. All of them knew that he was Henry Moore—chairman of Marriott International, since he was a VIP customer there. He was the man of many girl’s dreams.Their fantasies shattered when they saw their intimate interaction.However, no one dared to react in front of the chairman.“Your meal is served,” the waiter said while he stole a glance at the girl beside him.The woman had no m
Looking at Monique’s stuffed cheeks, Henry frowned. “Eat slowly, don’t choke on your food.”Monique had picked up a huge piece of meat and was about to devour it, but she stopped and stared at the charming man sitting across her.Her grandfather used to say the exact words when she stuffed her face with spaghetti. ‘Eat slowly… Don’t choke on your food.’In actual fact, Monique was not that crazy about food. She just thought that her actions would deter him since she assumed that men would not be attracted to a glutton.No matter how expensive her clothes were, it would always appear sloppy on her.She was not fit to be a lover.She was unequipped in many areas. She disliked the restrictive feeling of luxurious clothes, the looming fear of getting something on it, and worrying that she might fall anytime while walking in heels.She was also not a fan of ordering so much food that would eventually end up in the trash.She hopes that the man in front of her would get sick and tire
‘Miss Xander, I’m begging you, stop talking to me please,’ thought Shaun.Otherwise, Henry Moore would definitely banish him.He answered shakily, “Nothing, nothing. I’ve eaten. You guys please continue.”He turned around and greeted Henry respectfully, “Young Master Moore, if there’s nothing else, I’ll excuse myself.”Shaun’s face was pale, and his body trembled while he met with the chairman’s frosty glare.“Get lost,” Henry said in an incredibly icy voice with a dark expression.Shaun almost tripped on the way out of the room. He scrambled down the stairs and collapsed onto the ground.Monique was stunned. She turned around to look at Henry, wondering why the man had gotten so angry…They were just conversing normally as friends. Not only that, the amount of food they ordered was impossible to finish—it was just too wasteful.Shaun’s ashen-face flashed across her mind. Was he not feeling well?She stared at him and asked concernedly, “What’s wrong with assistant Stone? Is
Monique exclaimed in shock, “Confiscated?!”She stared at Henry in disbelief. Was he out of his mind? Who gave him the right to take her things?All of her identity documents were in that bag, how could he take them away just like that?Henry looked at her horrified expression and wondered why she was dissatisfied even when he treated her so well.Henry looked at her and said casually, “I’ve bought you so many bags today. Aren’t those enough? You also have a new phone. Why do you need your old one?”Monique glared at the man in front of her. This was just ridiculous!It was his way of telling her ‘out with the old, in with the new’.She decided to endure. ‘They were just documents’, she told herself.She tightened her grip around the new phone. She wanted to smash it on Henry’s head. That brat!However, she could only imagine it in her mind.She stared at him with her big, round eyes. “Have you transferred my SIM card?”“Nope, my contact, Mandy’s, and Mrs. Lawson’s phone num
Even though Monique had doubts that Henry would buy her a house, she still had her hopes up. After all, that was what people usually bought for their lovers. With the fortune Henry had, it was not entirely impossible for him to get her a house of her own.She also saw the bunch of keys that Shaun brought along with the phone.It would be great if he did. Moore manor was located outside the city and it was quite a distance from their workplace. Mrs. Lawson treated her very well, but the other servants in the house viewed her differently even though they were friendly and respectful on the surface, which made her feel uneasy.Monique was used to living alone. She was uncomfortable being in the same living space with so many people.Also, this place was very near to Angel’s kindergarten, which made it more convenient to send her to school. She got down from the car quietly and raised her head to stare at the residence as a flash of light flickered in her eyes.Henry remained seated i
