Chapter 1355
Karen had her eyes glued on Langston, but Jeffrey was dead set on his daughter not falling for any guy, especially not someone like Langston. Handsome and smart, that just made Jeffrey even more worried!
"Stop teasing Jeffrey, he's losing sleep over this."
"Ignore him! If it were up to him, my daughter would stay single forever. He's just scared of karma because of his own past mistakes. Serves him right."
Dorothy and Karen continued their small talk, but before they could finish, HR from the company came looking for Dorothy.
Reluctantly, she ended the call and looked up, "What's up?"
"Ms. Sanchez, you mentioned wanting to hire an assistant. We just interviewed a candidate, and I think they're quite promising. Would you like to take a look?" "Sure."
Dorothy took the resume handed to her.
The resume was impressive, to say the least.
But...
Such a stellar resume for an assistant position? Even if it was to work directly under Dorothy, Trust-E Investments was still a small fish in a big pond!
"Did you ask why they only want to be an assistant? Did they specifically apply for this position?"
The HR head nodded, "Yes! I did probe to see if they were interested in working on project management, but they insisted on being Ms. Sanchez's assistant." Dorothy pondered for a moment, then decided, "Get them in here. I want to talk to them."
"Of course."
As the HR head left, Dorothy dove back into her work until a knock sounded at her office door.
"Come in."
She set aside her pen, smiling as a young woman entered, "Perdita?"
"Yep." Perdita nodded, her confidence not shaken by her young age or the corporate environment, clearly someone who had been around the block, "Ms. Sanchez, hello."
"I saw your resume, and I think being my assistant might not fully utilize your skills. Haven't you considered working in project management? The pay is better."
Perdita was straightforward with her response.
"Ms. Sanchez, I'm not working for
the salary; I'm here to gain experiences! I've heard your story, starting as an assistant and working your way up to founding Trust-E Investments. I want to learn from you."
QUMS
Her reasoning was clear and logical, "Plus, Trust-E's willingness to let newcomers shadow on projects shows the company's progressive attitude. I'm sure you're great at mentoring!" This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
In the end, Dorothy agreed to take Perdita on as her assistant.
It wasn't the flattery that convinced her but the genuine need for a capable person by her side, not just any rookie.
She interviewed Perdita mainly out
of concern not to waste her
potential since project management indeed pays more. But it seemed
Perdita wasn't in it for the money but rather for the learning opportunity.
Just as the workday ended, Dorothy received a call from Everett.
"Finished for the day?"
"Yeah." She began tidying her desk, ready to leave the office, then paused, "You're here?"
"Smart guess, come on down, lobby."
Dorothy quickly gathered her things and rushed downstairs.
As the elevator doors slid open, her eyes searched for Everett but landed on Perdita first-
