There were a dozen resumes.They were all applying for the position of Elliot's assistant.Avery casually opened one of the resumes to have a look. The candidate's education and work experience were excellent.If this person were to hand in their resume to her, they would undoubtedly be able to continue straight to the interview.She opened another resume. After going through it, her feelings were the same as when she had looked through the first one.This candidate was as exceptional a lady as the first. If she wanted to be Avery's assistant, Avery would have barely had a reason to refuse.Avery guessed that the rest of the dozen resumes were also excellent. If they were not, Elliot would not have sent them to her.She was suddenly in a situation where she did not know whom to pick.She let her mind go blank for a while, then realized that she still could not sleep. She unlocked her phone and continued looking at the resumes.After going through the dozen resumes, her eyes we
By the time Avery fell asleep, Elliot was no longer sleepy.He turned around, picked up his phone, and unlocked it.He went through the resumes he had sent to Avery. He wanted to help her filter through the candidates once, to narrow down the list of possibilities.In fact, before he had sent her the resumes, he had already gone through them once, but not in detail.Of all the resumes, the one most memorable to him was the one who had the lowest education level.It was because her education level was the lowest that he had even remembered her name – Juliet Sutton.The requirements for the position of his assistant were written clearly. The first mandatory requirement was that their education level had to be beyond that of a bachelor's degree.However, Juliet only had a bachelor's degree. Also, she was a fresh graduate that was only graduating that year. She did not have any work experience at all. How did she have the confidence to send in her resume?The human resources depart
"It's only nine. You stayed up late last night, didn't you? You're not usually one to sleep in." Avery placed the cup of coffee down. "I drank your new coffee. While I was eating breakfast, someone sent it to you, so I got Mrs. Cooper to make me a cup.""I thought you didn't like coffee?" Elliot pulled back the sheets and slid out of bed. "Be careful. You might not be able to sleep tonight.""My head hurts a little. Especially after seeing the resumes that you sent me. I find them all excellent!" Avery said while sipping her coffee."Isn't there a candidate that is graduating with a bachelor's degree this year?" Elliot said. "She's a Ylorean. When the HR manager passed me her resume, he said that, if you hired her, she could make tea for you in the future."Avery could not help but smile. "I don't like drinking tea. Won't drinking tea affect my sleep too?""There are many types of tea. Not all tea will make you lose sleep, but I've never really studied the details before." Elliot
"Just decide on what you want and order first. When you're hungry, I'll send it over." Elliot had been busy the entire morning. He was already hungry."Okay, let me think," Avery said, then immediately felt too lazy to do so. "I'll have what you're having. Our taste is mostly the same.""You're just too lazy to think, right? What are you doing?" Judging by her tone, Elliot could tell that she was a little distracted.Avery picked up her cup of water and drank some to soothe her throat. "I didn't do much this morning. I was checking up on the tea culture of Ylore. I have never heard about it before. The tea culture in Ylore is quite famous.""Yes. The tea culture in Ylore is not only about drinking tea. There are tea performances, too. I've seen the performances, but I can't differentiate the tea." Elliot has seen a tea performance at Ylore before, but he had no interest in tea.Avery heard what he said and replied curtly, "You fooled around quite a lot back in the day, right?"El
"Alright. Someone from Tate Industries will get in touch with you if you're shortlisted for the next round. Please make yourself available for us to contact you." The HR manager could already tell how keen Juliet was to work at Tate Industries from her tone.The HR manager did not tell her that Avery wanted to interview her.That was because it was better for the hiring party to hold the power to take initiative.Besides, Juliet's resume was not outstanding. It would be very easy for Avery to hire someone with greater credentials."Alright, thank you!" Juliet thanked the HR manager once again.After her call, Juliet felt so excited that she lost her appetite.In truth, she had already been mentally prepared for the news that, with her qualifications, she would not be able to join the Sterling Group as the president's assistant. Unless she applied for an extremely ordinary position, then she would not have the opportunity to become part of the company.However, if it was an extre
Juliet did not expect to be invited for an interview so quickly. She panicked."I-I'm free. I'm afraid I might not be able to rush over there today. Can we do it tomorrow? I am available at any time." Juliet wanted to seize the opportunity. "If it really needs to be today, I can rush over right now, too, but I might need two hours."The HR manager looked at the time. Two hours from now would be right at the end of the day. "Then let's forget about the meeting today. Come over tomorrow." The HR manager did not dare ask Avery to stay behind. Elliot had come to pick her up yesterday evening. Everyone knew about that. "Would ten o'clock in the morning be a problem for you?""No. I'll be there on time."After the call, Juliet immediately unlocked her phone and looked for tickets to Avonsville for the next morning.It took about an hour or so by train to reach Avonsville. The earliest train the next day was at seven-thirty. If she were to take that train, she would be on time. However
"You could come to the office to look for me! You look silly standing next to the car." Avery smiled. "I thought you were trying to look cool. I was wondering since when you were such a show-off."Elliot said, "I was afraid that I would disrupt the office if I entered.""Everyone is off work. No one would care about being orderly. Furthermore, you're the big boss of Tate Industries. Why are you so afraid to come here?""This is your territory, so stop laughing at me.""Okay, I won't laugh at you anymore. But I'm serious. You don't have to pick me up every day after work. I can drive on my own, or get the bodyguard to send me." Avery leaned her head on his shoulder and lightly sighed. "There are so many things to do at the end of the year! All kinds of miscellaneous things. Year-end reports, parties, future work plans… Usually, when I'm not in the office, no one ever looks for me. Now that I'm back to work, everyone comes to report to me. I was afraid that I was not that important.
"Honey, I might be nervous because I've been out of the workforce for so long. I'll slowly get back in shape." Avery took a deep breath and quickly calmed herself down. "Right, Leah sent me a message today. She said that she has registered her marriage with George. They had it registered yesterday."Elliot asked, "Are they planning to have a wedding?""They haven't said anything about a wedding. She told me that George had to take a few days off because her parents are coming over. She and George have to spend time with her parents," Avery said with a smile. "Did George not tell you? He must be afraid of you."Elliot had not heard anything about this.He looked at his phone but did not see any messages or calls from George. Could George really be afraid of him? Whenever he spoke to George on the phone, George did not sound afraid of him."Since Leah told me about it, that's the same thing as telling you directly. You have to approve George's leave!" Avery said. "I never would have
