Jason Hawthorne suddenly spoke, "Are you very nervous?"
Laura Quincy jolted, "Absolutely not! We’re not familiar with each other, so there’s really nothing to say! Oh! Right, you can stop at the Aurelia Road intersection up ahead."
Jason Hawthorne glanced at her, "I wonder which company Miss Quincy is interviewing for and what position?"
Laura Quincy didn’t think her job was any secret, so she replied honestly, "’Xavier Group’ is hiring a French translator, and I just happened to submit my resu, so I’m going to give it a try."
Jason Hawthorne’s expression darkened, Xavier Group?
"Oh? It turns out Miss Quincy works as a translator? Coincidentally, our ’Aegis Group’ translation departnt is also hiring. I wonder if Miss Quincy is interested?"
Jason Hawthorne, despite being extrely frustrated and wishing to directly snatch Laura Quincy away, patiently and courteously made the offer.
Laura Quincy looked at him in disbelief, Aegis Group?
A few days ago, she was on a business trip to Port Sovereign and heard Little Kim ntion it, but she didn’t think much of it. It seems he is the head of ’Aegis Group’, Fourth Young Master Hawthorne...
OMG! Such a prominent figure is best not provoked!
First, there’s a huge disparity between her and his identity; they’re not from the sa world.
Second, no matter how courteous and polite he acts, he’s not her type! She’s not interested in marrying into a wealthy family and becoming a stepmom to soone else’s kid, even if the little brat is quite likable.
Finally, considering the above two points is already enough to rule out any possibility between her and him!
"Thank you, Mr. Hawthorne, for your kindness. I’m just a small translator, and I’ve already promised to attend the interview at ’Xavier Group’. One must be faithful to their commitnts!"
Laura Quincy politely declined his offer.
No matter what, even if ’Xavier Group’ doesn’t hire her, she won’t go for an interview at ’Aegis Group’. Just thinking about seeing this man every day at the company sends chills down her spine...
Such a high-ranking aristocrat is not soone an ordinary civilian like her can idolize. Most importantly, even if he acts genteel, she still senses his... danger.
Since Heaven has given her a second chance at life, she’s of course going to stay far away from this dangerous man!
Hearing her refusal, Jason Hawthorne was a bit disappointed but not discouraged. He pulled out a business card and handed it to her, "Here’s my business card. Miss Quincy can call anyti if she changes her mind."
With his warmth, Laura Quincy was at a loss whether to take it or not...
Just as she was hesitating, the car suddenly braked sharply...
Being slightly turned to the side, Laura Quincy unexpectedly fell into Jason Hawthorne’s arms, and suddenly, a wave of masculine scent overwheld her...
She awkwardly reached out to push him away but realized the thin shirt couldn’t hide the strong beating of his muscular chest...
In that mont, she was startled and quickly retracted her hand.
It was just too ambiguous!
She didn’t like it at all!
"Sorry!"
"Are you okay?"
Jason Hawthorne’s right hand naturally rested on Laura Quincy’s waist, his deep magnetic voice filled with concern.
Laura Quincy suddenly looked up and t the man’s deep, obsidian-like eyes, which startled her, making her eyelid twitch. For heaven’s sake! She couldn’t take it anymore!
Hurriedly pushing him away, she sat up straight, "I’m fine."
Jason Hawthorne then noticed he’d overdone it, "Glad you’re okay, since this is my car. I don’t want my friends getting hurt because of it."
Laura Quincy stiffly pulled a smile, "Mr. Hawthorne, you exaggerate; it was just a brake."
Jason Hawthorne gave her a glance, his expression returning to its original calm.
Two minutes later, they reached the destination. As soon as the car stopped, Laura Quincy couldn’t wait to get out, as if there was a big Tiger in the car ready to devour her at any mont...
Watching her leave in such a hurry, Jason Hawthorne felt sowhat hurt.
Whereas Laura Quincy secretly prayed she wouldn’t et this dangerous man ever again!
’Xavier Group’ was even grander and more impressive than Laura Quincy imagined. She tidied up her appearance and confidently walked to the reception desk and asked, "Hello, I was notified by phone to co for an interview. Could you tell which floor I should go to?"
The receptionist glanced at her, "Up the stairs and to the right, there’s a conference room."
Laura Quincy gave her a polite smile, "Thank you."
Although she forgot what happened to her over the last six years, she discovered her personal resu on her computer. Seeing that she once stayed in the ’Aegis Group’ translation departnt group three for over half a year, she was truly shocked.
Could that be when things started with that dangerous man...?
As she climbed the stairs, she shook her head, forcing herself not to ponder the past. Starting fresh is the right path!
Unbeknownst to her, thinking too deeply, she bumped into soone at the corner of the stairs...
"Sorry!"
The other party’s hands held a stack of docunts which unexpectedly flew out.
Laura Quincy quickly bent down to help pick up the papers, apologizing politely, feeling infinitely remorseful...
She noticed the docunts were all legal materials of sorts...
"It’s alright."
Suddenly, a rich, elegant male voice ca from above, sounding familiar to Laura Quincy, yet she didn’t take notice and continued focusing on gathering the papers, avoiding reading their content.
After all, peeking without permission is impolite.
As she reached for the paper furthest away, her fingers unexpectedly t with a pair of clean, slender n’s hands...
Ugh...
She couldn’t help but raise her gaze, only to imdiately lock eyes with the person.
"Xavier?"
For Laura Quincy, it was sowhat unexpected to find him here, while Jonah Xavier’s eyes showed less surprise and more joy.
To him, seeing her early in the morning was the biggest delight!
Jonah Xavier curved his lips into a shallow smile, "What a coincidence! Is your health better now?"
Laura Quincy, once shocked, found her voice again, "I’m very good! Are you working here too?"
Jonah Xavier took great interest in her use of "too," implying she was working here as well?
"No, I’m just involved in collaborations with the company."
"Oh... You’re a lawyer, right? You must have dealings with many companies."
"Yes, and you’re here for..."
"I’m here for an interview."
"But you..."
Laura Quincy understood his aning; just a few days ago she was on a business trip to Port Sovereign, and today she appears at ’Xavier Group’, inviting curiosity...
"My previous job was basically part-ti; I didn’t have to clock in nine to five every day. Additionally, I saw online that ’Xavier Group’ was hiring a part-ti French translator, so I decided to give it a shot."
Jonah Xavier thoughtfully nodded, got it.
"Then hurry up! Best of luck with your interview."
"Thanks!"
After bidding farewell to Jonah Xavier, Laura Quincy quickly proceeded to the conference room on the second floor, only to find many people waiting for interviews at the door.
No wonder; a grand company like ’Xavier Group’ would certainly attract crowds trying to get in.
