Hailey headed for Alex in her heels. Never did she expect that Hannah would stop her in her tracks. In
fact, Hailey did not know the reception manager at all since she had just taken over City salon. With a
slight
frown on her face, she immediately asked, âWhat do you need from me?â Actually, Hannah had been
waiting to meet Hailey. That was because after the change of ownership at City Salon, Jackie Luden,
who was initially in charge of the
salon, left.
On the other hand, Hailey was the owner of Belle Blossom, she was too occupied to take charge of
both establishments. Apparently, she wanted to hire a capable general manager to manage City Salon.
For Hannah, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So, she had to take initiative and offer herself for
the
position.
At this moment, after seeing Hailey taking initiative to ask her, Hannah quickly said, âWell, I heard that
City
Salon is looking for a general manager to manage its daily operations. I feel that I have the confidence
and the
capability to take on the position of general manager, leading the growth of City Salon as the best
beauty salon
in California.â
Hailey was surprised by the sudden interruption. Her expression hardened. Such a presumptuous
woman, who was she?
If City Salon became the best in California, what about her Belle Blossom?
âWho are you?â
Hailey asked.
ââ¦â Hannahâs expression froze, as if she had received a critical hit of 30,000 damage. She replied in a
slightly
emotional manner, âI, Hannah Nancy, am the reception manager of City Salon.
I was once Jackie Lundelâs
most capable assistant. I believe I absolutely have the capability to succeed in the role of general
manager!â
âI see, you can leave now.â
âDoes that mean you agree to it, Miss Lawson?â Hailey felt a bit annoyed, she raised her eyebrows and
said, âWhen did I agree to it? Miss Nancy, right? The
general manager is decided after the discussion among the board of directors.
It is not established by mere talk, do you understand?â Hannah could feel the irritation in Haileyâs voice.
However, things had been going smoothly for her lately. Ever since her college life, she had been
successful in every endeavor and became a princess like presence
with her pretty looks and willingness to get off her high horse, to even please men. Everywhere she
went, she was the star of the show. Even Jackie treated her like a treasure and saw her as his woman.
Therefore, she could do as she pleased in the salon. Haileyâs reply was brushed off as Hannah
persisted.
âWhy do we still need the board of directors to decide on
such matters, Miss Lawson? I am currently the highest ranked employee in City Salon, I can lead and
give the
orders at once. Based on our current situation, I promise that we can increase the salonâs profit by ten
percent
in a year.â
Genuinely infuriated by Hannahâs statement, Hailey retorted, âAre you done?
What even is ten percent?!
With the addition of Lush Cosmeticsâs products, we were able to increase our sales by ten times these
past few
days. Our annual plan is to increase our profit gained by a thousand percent, or even ten thousand
percent!
You actually promised a ten percent increase in profit?
It just showed your mediocrity and incapability. Get
out of my way.â Her response put Hannah in an awkward position. Her face was as pale as a sheet as
she instinctively took a
few steps back. Hailey grunted before approaching Alex. Hannah was suddenly surprised. She realized
that Hailey was in a crummy mood.
If her intention to hire Alex as a security guard without her
permission were to be discovered, it would definitely tarnish her image, putting the position of the
general
manager further away from her reach. Hannah rushed forward and said hurriedly, âThis man right here
came to apply for the position of security
guard, Miss Lawson. I was just about to kick him out after realizing that he is unsuited for the job.â
Surprised, Hailey said, âHe came here to apply for the position of security guard?
And, you even want to boot
him out?â
âExactly! Our City Salon is an upscale establishment. Of course, we canât allow unworthy personnel to
come
in!â Hannah then said to Alex, âWhy donât you leave now, your application is rejected.â Alex was on the
verge of laughing as he said, âDidnât you just say that you can let me stay here?
You also promised to help me apply for decent benefits, and said that I could always carry your shoes
once I become a
security guard here.â
âWhen did I say it? Stop spewing nonsense, you are not worthy of carrying my shoes! Donât forget that
your
father is a corrupted criminal and a traitor!
We will never take in the son of a traitor, begone!â Alexâs expression turned stone-cold instantly.
Smack!
Hailey immediately smacked Hannah on the face. Puzzled by Haileyâs outburst, Hannah shouted, âWhy
did you hit me, Miss Lawson?â Hailey responded angrily, âBecause you were arrogant, rude, and
insulted your boss!â
âBut I did not insult you!â
