Chapter 397 A Compulsory Offer
When they came in, the three interviewers behind the desk stood up and asked at one voice,"Good
morning, Mr. Xi. Is there anything we can do for you?"
Marlon waved his hand at them to sit down and then turned to Rachel.
"Where is your resume?" he asked while he stretched out his hand.
"Here it is," Rachel replied reluctantly.
She took her resume out of her bag and handed it over to Marlon.
Marlon took it from her and gave it to the interviewers. Then he walked to a corner and pulled a chair to
sit with his legs crossed.
The three of them gathered around to go through Rachel's resume, but they all frowned and looked at
each other in speechless despair.
It was too common for them. Compared with the ones they had just interviewed, there was nothing in it
that could catch their attention
Most people that they interviewed graduated from well-known universities and had worked at large
companies for their experience.
"Why don't you ask questions? The resume can't talk, but people can. Ask her, if you have any
questions for her!" Marlon suggested. His eyebrows were lifted when he saw the reaction of the three.
The interviewer at left sat straight and coughed. He, then, asked the first question to Rachel.
"Your name is Rachel Ruan, right? I saw the photo on your resume. It seems that you look different
from the photo here."
Rachel lowered her head and tried hard to hold her smile. She put the hair at the back of her ears and
replied,"Oh, that. I believe that everyone wants to look prettier at their resume. Although I'm not good
looking, I can bear hardships and stand hard works."
The interviewer nodded and continued,"Based on your resume, you had been working at a sales
company for three years, but I didn't see the name of that company. Could you tell me which company
was it?"
Rachel hesitated for a moment and replied,"It, it's a small company. I don't think you're aware of it even
if I tell you the name. Besides, it had been closed two years ago."
"Okay, then do you have any other working experiences besides that?" the interviewer in the middle
asked.
As Rachel wondered what she should say and where she should start, Marlon interrupted again,"Don't
focus on work experiences. They don't speak about talents! Focus on her skills. Ask more important
questions!"
The interviewer paused for a moment and asked,"Do you have any other special skills, Ms. Ruan? We
got several positions that we need to fill in. We would like to know which one is more suitable to you."
Since Mr. Xi referred her himself, it was a must that they give her a job. However, they had to consider
which position they should give her and how to make Mr. Xi satisfied.
Rachel kept quiet for a moment and thought of what she could say to get the job. She felt that she
couldn't let Marlon be out of her sight. Then she replied,"I used to work as chief of the sales group and I
ran my own company later." Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
"Really? Why didn't you write it in your resume?" the interviewer at right asked. The work experiences
she just mentioned were important in finding a new job. But they found it strange that she didn't include
them in her resume.
Marlon interrupted them again,"Why? Can't she keep a low profile? I think we're good here. Just give
her an offer. As for her position, let's discuss it later. I believe we can find a better position for her."
The three interviewers nodded and said,"Right, right, we agree with you!"
"Okay, then you got an offer here. Please come to work three days from now!"
one interviewer said.
Rachel stood up and made a bow to them, saying,"Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I'll make
sure to work hard in return!"
The offer to her was more compulsory than fair and reasonable, yet she had no choice but to accept it.
It appeared to her that Marlon was not only good at exchanging his spare phone into cash but also
skilled at securing advantages through his influence to get her a job.
Rachel then left the interview room, and Marlon followed her.
"Hey there! Why are you walking so fast? Shouldn't you invite me to lunch since I've found a job for
you?" he said aloud from her back.
Rachel only stopped after she walked out of the building. "Yes, I should show my gratitude and invite
you to have lunch with me. However, I have no money on me today and can't afford any lunch."
"Can't afford? Okay, here is my idea. I'll buy our lunch today. You can return it to me when you receive
your salary next month!" Marlon said. He took out his key, walked to his car parked by the road, opened
its door and said to Rachel,"Come on! What are you waiting for?"
Rachel sighed and thought that she'd better go and have lunch with him because she didn't have
anything to eat in her place.
Besides, Marlon would be her boss soon. So she should try her best to get along with him. She
thought, the better she knew him, the better it would be for her future work.
They arrived at an exceptional looking restaurant by the side of the North Sea.
The view around was great. People could hear the sound of waves nearby as well as the sound of
seagulls from time to time. If they closed their eyes, they would feel as if they were on a boat in the
sea. But they only found that they were sitting at a small restaurant at the beach.
"Try this fish! It tastes delicious and only has a few thorns. Girls usually love it! Trust me!"
Marlon said while placing a portion of the fish on her plate.
"Thank you. Just enjoy yourself. I can help myself with the food," Rachel said. She politely refused him
to pick up more dishes for her.
She could tell that Marlon was very used to bringing girls to the restaurant because he could say the
name of each dish without even looking at the menu.
What was more, he could describe the taste of each dish to her. This actually helped her decide on
what to order. With him simply describing the food, Rachel could tell which dish she liked and which
she didn't.
Rachel tasted the fish he recommended. To her surprise, it was indeed great. Although North Sea City
was modest in size, the food and view there were unique and extraordinary.
She wondered how came she had never discovered the existence of such an amazing place before?
"Don't bury yourself in the plate right in front of you! Try the other two dishes. The sashimi tastes good,
here!" Marlon said as he put a piece of sashimi on her plate.
Rachel raised her head and wanted to say thank you to him, but somebody suddenly swiped the
sashimi to the ground together with the plate, which broke into pieces.
Along with the noise, a woman started yelling.
"Bitch! Where are you from? Bitch! Why are you seducing my fiancé? Are you tired of living?" the
woman shouted and slapped Rachel on the face. Rachel felt her face burning with pain.
She glared at the woman and noticed that she was the one who kicked Marlon out of her car the other
day.
"There must be some misunderstanding! I have nothing to do with him. Look ……" Rachel tried to
explain.
Marlon, who sat opposite to Rachel, jumped on his feet instantly and shouted with knotted
eyebrows,"Eve, what are you doing?! Do you think I have slept with every single woman standing with
me? It's your dirty thoughts, not me!"
"Can you tell me? Am I wrong? Marlon, don't you remember what I've seen in the hotel last time? What
were you doing in bed with that woman? Do I look like blind to you?" Eve contradicted him, and then
she turned to Rachel. Looking at her from head to toe, Eve snorted,"Aren't you after his money? Tell
me!
Oh, poor women like you! If you lack money, why don't you work hard for it instead of chasing after a
rich man? I don't know what you and your kind are doing in this world for!"
"You can think whatever you like! But I've nothing to do with him, as I told you just now. Believe or not,
it's your own business! I have nothing to do with that!" Rachel finished her words and took a deep
breath. She knew it was hard for Eve to listen to her explanation at the moment. So she took her bag
from the chair, turned around and headed out of the restaurant.
"Rachel, wait!" Marlon shouted from behind. There was nothing but the sea outside. He knew that it
was a long way to the city. Rachel had no car or money to spare. It was impossible for her to walk
back.
Seeing him call Rachel back, Eve smiled coldly and grabbed Marlon's collar, asking,"She told me that
she had nothing to do with you, then why are you calling her name? Marlon, Marlon, how could I be so
blind to stay in love with you?"
Marlon got pissed off. He wiped her hand off, replying,"That's right, I'm an asshole! Okay?! I don't
deserve your love! You've never treated me as your fiancé. I felt just like a toy of yours. Is this just
because your family is more powerful than mine? Do you think I'll ever take the wealth of your family?
Let me tell you now, no, never! If I'm so worthless in your eyes, then we can break up for good. Let's
call off our engagement now!"
Then he pushed Eve aside and headed to the staircase.
