The assistant was very efficient, and by the next day had sent over the address of The Rhodes Family’s old ho.
It seed to be an ordinary neighborhood.
Ethan Grant squinted his eyes.
Oakhaven, hmm.
Coincidentally, in a few days he needed to go to Oakhaven to discuss cooperation and investnt with The Sterling Group.
Talia Rhodes, since you’re not coming to find , this ti I’ll co to find you.
...
Talia Rhodes submitted her resu to Senco Law Firm and quickly received a reply asking if she could co for an interview tomorrow.
Talia scheduled the interview ti with them and began to prepare for the interview tomorrow.
Senco was the top law firm in Oakhaven and also had a high reputation in the industry.
Gaining experience here for a few years would be highly beneficial to her future career.
At this mont, inside Senco Law Firm.
"Miss Hughes, that Talia Rhodes has scheduled an interview with ." Jane Young, the law firm supervisor, said respectfully while holding her phone.
"Very good. Offer her the salary she expects, make sure to keep her, and once she’s on board, give her so tough cases to handle. If done well, I’ll hand over so of the Jennings Group’s high-stake cases worth millions to your team."
Jane Young was elated and hurriedly replied, "Rest assured, I’ll definitely ’take care’ of this newcor."
In the hospital room.
Selina Hughes hung up the phone and held her mobile, a sinister smile tugging at her lips.
When Talia Rhodes called Adrian Jennings about looking for a job, she was sitting right beside Adrian Jennings.
She clearly heard Adrian Jennings recomnding Talia Rhodes go to Senco Law Firm.
From what Adrian Jennings ant, Talia Rhodes seed to want to submit her resu, go through interviews, and get employed through regular ans, not seeking any backdoor access. She even specially instructed Adrian Jennings not to inform the law firm in advance or expose her identity as the daughter of The Rhodes Family and future Young Madam of The Jennings Family.
Thinking of this, Selina Hughes sneered.
Talia Rhodes, oh Talia Rhodes, your self-righteousness will be your downfall.
That night, she imdiately contacted Jane Young, the supervisor of Senco.
In Oakhaven, every industry has to heed The Jennings Group’s influence.
Her identity as a daughter of The Jennings Family cos in handy.
Though she was only adopted, Mrs. Jennings had nurtured her like a biological daughter over these years, and Adrian Jennings also treated her like a real sister.
Over the years, she often carried the title of "Miss Jennings" at various business banquets, and outsiders did recognize her as Miss Jennings.
She had already investigated it.
Although Talia Rhodes is the daughter of The Rhodes Group, she doesn’t like socializing and rarely appears at upper-class social banquets.
She doesn’t like flaunting wealth on major social platforms; she’s always low-key.
So despite The Rhodes Group’s large-scale business, few outsiders have seen The Rhodes Group’s daughter.
Furthermore, the news of Talia Rhodes’s engagent to Adrian Jennings is still unknown to the public, currently only known among their circle of family and friends.
This conveniently allowed Selina Hughes to secretly play her tricks.
With a sinister look, Selina Hughes thought: Talia Rhodes, you’re forcing . Who told you to take Adrian away from ? He can only be mine.
...
The next day, Talia Rhodes woke up early, applied light makeup, and changed into a white blouse and black suit, the classic attire of a practicing lawyer.
Senco Law Firm was located near Oakhaven University, far from The Rhodes Family’s villa, about ten kiloters away, requiring more than an hour drive in rush hour traffic.
Talia rembered her freshman year’s birthday when her cousin Oscar Sterling had given her a well-decorated apartnt opposite Oakhaven University for easy study access, conveniently close to Senco Law Firm.
She pondered if she settled at Senco, she’d move into the apartnt, making commuting easier—living alone would be comfortable and free, avoiding Shawn Rhodes and Lillian Young, gaining peace.
Senco Law Firm.
Leading the interview for Talia was the HR and Jane Young, the supervisor of the litigation departnt.
Talia was a graduate from a prestigious university with three years of professional experience, fluently answering the few professional questions Jane Young asked her.
Jane Young clearly seed satisfied with her, offering salary terms as Talia expected, with a base salary of fifteen thousand plus attorney fee commission.
After the interview, Jane Young smiled and said, "Miss Rhodes, see you tomorrow."
Talia politely smiled back, saying, "See you tomorrow."
The interview was much easier than she had imagined.
She had thought the law firm would press down on salary terms, but unexpectedly it was so smooth.
After Talia left, Jane Young stood by the window, sighed, "Oh, what a pity. I quite admire Miss Rhodes."
...
On her first day at work, HR Charlotte Lewis introduced Talia to the colleagues and got her familiar with the environnt.
Senco Law Firm was large; she joined the headquarters, which had a business departnt, litigation departnt, non-litigation departnt, finance departnt, and human resources departnt.
The business departnt was responsible for handling business talks and cases outside.
The litigation departnt primarily consisted of lawyers and intern lawyers, specializing in litigation cases.
The non-litigation departnt mainly provided legal consultation, collection, contract review, and other non-litigation services for companies.
The finance and human resources departnts were like those in ordinary companies, managing finance and personnel.
Each departnt had a supervisor, and the litigation departnt’s supervisor was Jane Young, who interviewed Talia yesterday; she herself was also one of the firm’s practicing lawyers, in her thirties, sporting a neat short haircut, looking like a career woman powerhouse.
Senco headquarters had over twenty practicing lawyers; other than the supervisor, each office space was shared by two lawyers.
Talia Rhodes shared an office with a male lawyer in his forties.
Talia had just tidied up her workplace and sat down.
Supervisor Jane Young walked in and said sowhat apologetically, "Miss Rhodes, ideally each lawyer is paired with an intern lawyer as their assistant, but two intern lawyers completed their internships recently and have left for practice. So we haven’t recruited anyone for the vacant intern positions yet, so you currently won’t have an assistant. It might be a bit demanding for you."
Talia nodded, expressing her understanding, "It’s okay. I can complete the work independently."
"Alright then." Jane Young smiled and turned to leave.
The male lawyer across the other desk looked up from his computer, "Hello, I’m Timothy Palr. We’ll be colleagues from now on."
"Hello." Talia politely responded.
During the lunch break.
One male colleague from the law firm, under supervisor’s instructions, incited the group chat, asking the new colleagues to treat them to dinner after work.
The law firm had two new colleagues.
One was Talia Rhodes, who had just joined today.
The other was intern lawyer Claire Yorick, who joined two days ago.
Talia wasn’t very familiar with the law firm’s "culture."
Did they always have a tradition for new colleagues to treat als?
Talia asked the male colleague who shared her office.
The colleague inford her there wasn’t such a "tradition" before.
Talia looked at the ssage on her computer screen, pondering deeply.
