A cold glare

The five of them went through two other rounds of interviews. In the end, Whitney and Emmanuel Edward were considered for the position. The HR director looked at Whitney, at First, he wanted to call Seb to find out if he should continue to allow her to pass the stages of the interview, but Whitney performed well and passed using her ability.

"There was only one vacant post, Emmanuel had performed a little better than Whitney after all, he was a PhD holder, but The HR director did not dare to make the final decision, so he took the two performances result to the top floor.

" Special assistant Seb, " he called out respectfully when he got to the top floor. He did not dare go with the two of them. After all, not everyone could enter the top floor without permission.

"Mr Thomas, How is the interview?" Seb asked. At that time, Kevin was in his office working.

"These are the name of the two that performed best," Mr Thomas replied as he handed over a piece of paper.

Seb collected the paper and read the names. "How did miss Warmer perform?" Seb asked. Even if he saw her name written on the paper, he assumed that Mr Thomas Must have considered her because of the call from him.

"She did well," Mr Thomas passed her assessment record to him. Seb went through it patiently. He was surprised to see that she performed so well.

"let me have the assessment of the other," Seb said after going through that of Whitney. For a person that was yet to graduate, Seb was surprised at her performance but thinking that her father was also an intelligent man, he felt that it was expected. The problem was that Mr Warmer did not know how to be loyal and almost fooled the president.

After collecting the assessment of the two, he got up and walked over to Kevin's office. "you can return to your office. I will give you a call," Seb told Mr Thomas while Knocking on the door lightly. Me Thomas turned around and left. Although he was curious about Whitney, he did not dare to act interested when the devil was involved. Seb exhaled and waited patiently for a response.

"Come in," Kevin said. There was no expression on his face, and he continued to deal with the document before him. Seb walked in, got to the table and dropped the two files.

"These two performed best in the interview," Seb said. Kevin paused what he was doing and picked up the file. He went through Emmanuel's answer and the note from his interview.

After that, he picked up Whitney's answer sheets. The writing was very bold and beautiful. He was attracted to the beautiful character arrangement before reading the answer. Kevin found himself reading the answer seriously. He had Glace casually through the first report, but he read the second one. Kevin did not have the habit of reading their name before checking performance.

He felt that when he was blind to the person who wrote, he could give an objective judgment.

After reading her answer and the response of the interviewer about the person, he looked at the name that was written on the top corner of the first page. "Whitney Warmer," he read out.

"She wrote this?" Kevin was a bit surprised. Although he knew that she had outstanding results, he did not expect her to perform so well. He had called her for an interview because he wanted her to have a bad day.

This was also why she received a late notice, yet she performed well. This was a little above Kevin's expectations.

"Yes," Seb answered. No one would dare play tricks when the vacant position was on the top floor.

"Let her come up," Kevin said. His voice was void of any emotion.

"Sir??" Seb was shocked that he forgot the man before him would never repeat himself. He felt that his ears were playing tricks on him. He had followed Kevin since he decided to start Smart cooperation, and there has never been one female secretary in the headquarter.

Whenever a new secretary was employed, he would be presented with the list of those who performed satisfactorily. He was always the one who made the decision. This was not the first time a female performed better than the male, but to hear him choose her, Seb felt that his ears were playing tricks on him. Moreover, this was the daughter of a traitor, and Emmanuel's performance could be considered better than hers.

Kevin shot him a cold glare when he noticed he was standing still like a fool. Seb immediately rushed out of the office like a mouse been chased by a cat. He realised his mistake when he saw Kevin's cold glare. "I am not tired of living," Seb patted his chest and took a deep breath as soon as he got to his office.

Seb's office was the closest to the president's office. He did not share it with anyone else, considering the importance documented under his care. After calming down, he called Mr Thomas.

"bring Whitney Warmer up," He repeated Jebin's statement. After calming down, Seb realised that Kevin had asked to see Whitney. It did not mean that he was offering her the job.

"Sir..." Mr Thomas was also confused. He would have taken Whitney out of the process even when she performed well but thinking that Seb had specially called him to invite her for the interview, he sent her documents over.

"the president wants to see Whitney Warmer," Seb repeated himself and ended the call. He did not Blane Mr Thomas for being so surprised after all. He had also reacted a bit slowly.

Seventh floor.

"What did the special assistant say?" Mr Jerry asked. He was very curious about the situation.

"Bring the lady up," Mr Thomas answered.

"What?" Jerry asked. He guessed that someone with connections had helped Whitney get an interview. What he did not expect was for the president to pick her. "She got the job?" Jerry could not help but inquire.

"He did not say. He just asked her to come up," Mr Thomas replied. He was smart, he knew that nothing was certain yet from Seb's voice.

"Then I will take her up," Mr Jerry offered. He wanted to hang around and find out what was going on.

"I will go up myself. Go and invite Mr Emmanuel away. Tell him he will get a response from us later," Mr Thomas instructed. He wanted to find out the situation of things, after all, his daughter was a coursemate with Miss Warmer. If she had a good background, then he would have to warn his daughter to be more friendly and not cause problems for the family. Mr Thomas walked outside and invited Whitney.

Jerry followed behind him, he was unhappy that he was given the task of sending Emmanuel away. He did not think there was a need to be so polite with Emmanuel. What if he did not get the job? What would be the need to treat him so well?

When Emmanuel saw that Jerry personally told him to return first and that he would get a reply soon, he was very proud. His girlfriend told him that a woman was never allowed to work on the top floor. So he was confident that he would get the Job. He did not know who the man that invited Whitney away was, so he was burning with confidence as he left.

Whitney, on the other hand, broke out in cold sweat as she watched the elevator change numbers. She knew that with every new number, she was getting closer to seeing the devil. In all honesty, she was scared out of her wit.

Mr Thomas could not help but cast a glance at her. He was really curious about her relationship with the president.

If he could, he would also arrange for his daughter to work on the top floor.

*Ding, the Elevator arrived and stopped at the top floor.

Whitney felt her whole body become heavy after all, she knew that once she stepped out, she would enter the devil's territory. Wait, from the moment she stepped into Smart cooperation that morning, she was already in his territory. The realisation made her throat dry, and no matter how much she swallowed, the situation remained the same.

"Let go," Mr Thomas said as he stepped out of the elevator. Whitney did not know how she managed to pull herself out of the elevator. What welcomed her was the secretary's office.

There were about four or five men sitting around and doing their job. Whitney was not too such as she did not dare look around. They men unconsciously looked towards the elevator when they heard the foot steps.

They looked curious when they saw the HR director, after all his appearances this time means that their new colleague has been Choosen.

"Female?" someone could not help but voice out
