"Miss, these are the things that you need. We have a total of eight people who showed up for the interview including the two people that the young master recomnded this ti. Also, this is the third ti this week that the young master sent you so delicacies from the capital. I'm not sure how to handle them?"
"Let the applicants eat it," she answered. Despite all of her dramatics, Alfons didn't stop bothering her. Now, he is resorting to sending her delicacies and other gifts that are supposed to make her healthier.
"Alright." Mr. Jonathan nodded. "Then shall I call the first applicant?"
"Call the ones that my brother recomnded first. I want to talk to them."
"Miss?"
"You heard . I want to know why he recomnded these people."
"Understood then I shall lead them to the "
"Patio. I want to have my tea while talking to them and please give so strawberry cookies."
"Understood."
After the butler left, she imdiately went to the patio to wait for the first applicant. Right now, she was actually curious why Alfons would recomnd a few people that she knew from the past.
"Miss Sutton good morning."
The first one who arrived was a gentleman wearing a dark brown suit. He bowed at her before giving her a bow. "My na is Louise Knight. Twenty-five this year." He smiled at her, his blue eyes t hers.
"You are friends with my brother?" She eyed the man's tall stature. That's right, Louise has always been good-looking. Broad shoulders, six-foot, and hit body. He could easily beco a model if he wanted to.
"I am his senior. We were friends since he used to play basketball at the university too. I graduated two years ago. Despite this, I occasionally play with Alfons when I have free ti."
"And you wanted to beco my assistant?" Louise Knight. How could she forget this na? In her previous life, he worked as her driver. Back then, he didn't have any qualifications such as these. All he know was that he was her bodyguard, assigned by her very own brother who loved and cared for her.
Over ti, Louise beca one of her trusted subordinates. She used to call him Ese and think that she was so lucky to have a handso driver that would die to protect her and Luca. And yes, she had trusted the man with her life. But in the end he ultimately betrayed her. Humans and their greedy hearts.
It was human nature. She was just unlucky to have t soone like that.
In this tiline, she thought that she would not get close to this man again. After all, she was planning to decline Alfons' offer of a bodyguard in the near future.
So, why is he here now?
Does this an that her previous assumption about Alfons having his own secret group even before he graduated was true too? If that is the case, then she needed to make so changes to her original plans.
She actually thought that Alfons would only develop his network after graduating college. It turns out, she was wrong. But how? It must be because of her father.
Right.
There is no way that the dumb Alfons would be able to plan all this.
Or perhaps, she had underestimated him again?
She gritted her teeth as she thought of her latest actions. The acting was actually such a good choice this ti.
"Yes, I was able to co to the university because of scholarships. After I graduated, I thought of working for a good company but it turns out that the world is cruel and brute. Most people would value soone's family before they even check their resu."
That is true. Why would those rich families employ soone from an unknown origin when they could train their own people, soone that would die for them?
"How many languages do you know?" she asked.
"Two."
"Sorry but my qualification this ti is five languages. I need soone who could read and write at least five different languages."
She looked at the man's dumbstruck expression. Did he expect that his handso feature would make her agree? Seeing the smile on his face stiffened, she added, "Plus you are not that good with math. I wanted soone smarter than . At least, I don't have to explain everything and spoon-fed them with information. I'm sorry Mr. Knight but I don't think you have the qualifications to be my secretary."
There you go. The crack that she was waiting for.
She watched as the man's face changed. "But Miss"
"Yes?" She smiled at him. Looking at that face now, she actually thought that he wasn't as good-looking as she thought before. He definitely has good features but his face is not symtrical and his left eye was a bit smaller than the right. Eh? What was she thinking? "Ah yes you are soone recomnded by my brother. Hmmm what should I do. I don't want to make my brother worry. I am sure he did this because he wanted you to report everything to him, right?"
"Ah?"
"Oh!" She covered her mouth with her handkerchief. "Pardon my bold words. I was just speaking my mind. What I was trying to say is that I would not hire you as my secretary. But how about one of my staff?"
"Staff?"
"Yes. Didn't my brother tell you? I am going to work in Ren Aesthetics."
"So you are going to accept as one of your staff?"
"Of course! I trust my brother. Since he recomnded you, then you must be soone with outstanding abilities."
His face turned brighter. Amused, she smiled in return.
"Thank you, miss! I am so glad! Thank you so much for accepting ."
"No need. In fact I am the one that should thank you for giving this opportunity to pay my brother back."
"Pay him back?"
"I an I didn't want to beco a burden anymore. So I decided to start paying my brother back for all the things that he did to in the past. Of course, treating his friends well is just one of these paynts."
