Julian Ward walked up to me, fixing his gaze on the girl. “Miss, I believe you don’t align with our company’s values. You’re not suitable for us; please seek opportunities elsewhere.”
“Who are you to send me away? My uncle is Manager Hank Walter from Marketing. You think I’ll just leave? You’ll need to consult him first.”
She was clearly furious, threatening to leverage connections as if it would intimidate him. If only she realized how high above her he was.
Julian frowned slightly. “Call Mr. Walter and have him pick up his niece. Inform HR to process her termination.”
“Understood, Mr. Ward.”
With that, the group left without a backward glance, leaving the girl pale and bewildered. A staff member gently led her away, explaining, “He’s our president and the chairman’s son. Please wait here for your uncle and don’t disrupt others’ interviews…”
Later, the interview went surprisingly smoothly for me.
To my surprise, I received a call from HR after getting home. I had successfully joined The Ward Group as a new member of the secretarial office.
Later, I asked Assistant Bryce why I got hired. He said it was probably because Mr. Ward appreciated my communication skills.
