"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 recommended this time. Also, this is the third time this week that the young master sent you some 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 recommended first. I want to talk to them."
"Miss?"
"You heard me. I want to know why he recommended me these people."
"Understood then I shall lead them to the — "
"Patio. I want to have my tea while talking to them and please give me some strawberry cookies."
"Understood."
After the butler left, she immediately went to the patio to wait for the first applicant. Right now, she was actually curious why Alfons would recommend 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 name is Louise Knight. Twenty-five this year." He smiled at her, his blue eyes met 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 become 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 time."
"And you wanted to become my assistant?" Louise Knight. How could she forget this name? 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 time, Louise became one of her trusted subordinates. She used to call him Ese and think that she was so lucky to have a handsome 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 met someone like that.
In this timeline, 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 mean 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 some 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 time.
"Yes, I was able to come 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 someone's family before they even check their resume."
That is true. Why would those rich families employ someone from an unknown origin when they could train their own people, someone that would die for them?
"How many languages do you know?" she asked.
"Two."
"Sorry but my qualification this time is five languages. I need someone who could read and write at least five different languages."
She looked at the man's dumbstruck expression. Did he expect that his handsome feature would make her agree? Seeing the smile on his face stiffened, she added, "Plus you are not that good with math. I wanted someone smarter than me. 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 symmetrical and his left eye was a bit smaller than the right. Eh? What was she thinking? "Ah yes… you are someone recommended 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 me as one of your staff?"
"Of course! I trust my brother. Since he recommended you, then… you must be someone 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 me."
"No need. In fact… I am the one that should thank you for giving me this opportunity to pay my brother back."
"Pay him back?"
"I mean… I didn't want to become a burden anymore. So I decided to start paying my brother back for all the things that he did to me in the past. Of course, treating his friends well is just one of these payments."
