Chapter 1306: A Blessing in Disguise?
"Melody Quinn, why did you leave your last job? You only worked for three years and your performance was quite good," the examiner asked.The interview was in progress and was nearing its end.
Meanwhile, Cecilia Dunn was still waiting in the restroom.
She didn’t burst into tears of joy when she finally got the menstrual pad. She was completely devastated; the delivery guy had sent word saying he was stuck in traffic!!
Today’s interview is definitely a bust! Because half an hour has already passed!
When she came out of the restroom, she checked and fortunately, her pants weren’t stained; otherwise, she’d really have to calculate her mental stress.
Suppressing the discomfort in her abdomen, she hurried to the interview hall, only to find that the interview had already ended.
Except for the four examiners sitting at the long table organizing documents and quietly discussing something, not a soul among the other candidates was in sight!
Everyone was gone!
"Hello..." she cautiously knocked on the open door and stepped inside, "Excuse me, is the interview... over?"
It was obvious, but she still wanted to ask because she was unwilling to accept it.
Everyone looked up at her together, who is this?
Cecilia met their gaze and gave an awkward smile.
One of the examiners asked, "You are...?"
"Sir, I’m Cecilia Dunn." The girl stopped, stating her name.
Another examiner glanced down at the list with scratched-off names, coldly saying, "You can even be late for an interview? And late for so long? Do you think a good company would hire you?"
"..." She explained with great embarrassment, "Sir, I wasn’t late, I just encountered a sudden situation. I suddenly got my period, I... I only realized it after I got through the door and then went to find a restroom."
Just then, the young and handsome Simon walked in, seeing the place empty, realized the interview was over. He was frustrated; did he come late too?
"Assistant Simon." Someone got up and handed over the documents, "These are the hiring lists, I’ve already told them to come and start work tomorrow morning."
"Mm." He reached out to take it, "I forgot to tell you, we need to hire one more person today. The President’s Office needs an assistant."
"Ah?" The female supervisor was startled, "We didn’t receive any notice on this side."
"I know," Simon said, "I came late." Then he turned his gaze to Cecilia Dunn, "What’s with her? Who is she?"
She looked like she was here for an interview.
"She was late when her name was called and only came after the interview ended," someone reported truthfully.
Simon turned to her, and Cecilia, awkwardly lowered her gaze, "..." Faced with such an awkward situation, should she explain to the handsome guy?
"Why were you late?" Simon scrutinized her and spoke calmly.
This might be her only chance.
So Cecilia took a deep breath, bit her lip, and bravely looked up, "I wasn’t late in the morning, I came up with the group, but then I suddenly got my period, so I went to the restroom. The delivery guy for the pad was held up on the road, causing..."
"Alright, it’s you then." Simon could sense her embarrassment and didn’t want to embarrass her; besides, the President’s Office indeed needed someone.
Cecilia suddenly looked up!
No interview needed??
Not even a single question?? Hired directly??
"Don’t celebrate too soon," Simon said, "You’ll start with a one-week probation. If you can’t handle it, the company won’t sign you."
"Okay, okay, okay." Cecilia was stunned but very happy.
