Chapter 43
Anastasia turned to look at the newcomer.
It was none other than Hermanâs secretary, Nelson.
She didnât know him, but he knew her
This was Nelsonâs first time meeting Anastasia, the wife of his boss.
The male interviewer who had just insulted Anastasia was all smiles. âNelson, what brings you here? Any directives from Mr. Salstrom?â
âJust checking things out.â Nelson replied, without mentioning that this was an order from his boss. He deliberately walked up to the interview table and glanced at Anastasiaâs designs.
Despite being a man and not particularly interested in jewelry, Nelson found himself intrigued by Anastasiaâs designs. He felt a sudden urge to see the finished prece
Seeing Nelson looking at Anastasiaâs designs, the male interviewer laughed. âNelson, thereâs been a mistake from HR. I was about to ask this candidate to leave Thereâs no way Elysian Technologies would hire a high school graduate.â
Hearing this, Nelson was glad he had arrived just in time, or else the wife of the CEO of Elysian Technologies would have been driven away by these fools.
Anastasia wouldnât stand for the insult. âIf your company doesnât hire high school graduates, then you should have put it in your requirements. Please return my designsâ
Seeing her crumpled resume in the trash, Nelson immediately understood that Anastasia had been wronged.
âMs Jewell, I apologize for the inappropriate behavior of our staff. If Elysian Technologies posted this job ad, no one is allowed to disregard that. Iâve seen your designs and theyâre excellent. Our company values not only education, but also ability Nelson handed back her designs and asked, âWhat was your initial intention in designing jewelry?â
The secretary to the CEO of Elysian Technologies was apologizing to a candidate?
Everyone was shocked and started speculating about Anastasiaâs background.
Nelsonâs sincerity left a good impression on Anastasia.
âI want everyone to wear the jewelry I design. Emotions that canât be expressed in words can be conveyed through designs. Itâs about sharing love, capturing precious moments and making sure lovers end up together.â
âGood,â Nelson nodded âMs. Jewell, please wait for our callâ
Anastasia was a bit confused. Was she being turned down?
In her past interviews, she was also asked to wait for a call, but the call never came.
Being asked to wait for a call was the most polite way of rejection.
Anastasia didnât argue further. She picked up her designs and resume and walked out.
As soon as she left, Nelson turned to the male interviewer âGo to HR and quit your job. Donât bother coming in tomorrow.â
The male interviewer turned pale. âNelson, why?â
Was it because of Anastasia, a high school graduate?
Could it be that Anastasia has some powerful connections?
âYouâre in charge of recruiting talent for the company. If you judge candidates based on your personal bias, how can you find the right people?â Nelson said. âIf youâre unfit for this role, you should step aside.â
Nelson didnât have the authority to fire employees, but he knew Hermanâs temperament well. Could someone who insulted the wife of the CEO of Elysian Technologies stay in the company?
The male interviewer didnât figure out Anastasiaâs background until he was fired. He had offended a woman of importance.
But Anastasia had left after the interview and had no idea about what happened next.
She didnât have high hopes for getting the job..
When she got home around four in the afternoon, Anastasia went to the market to buy groceries.
As she got out of the elevator, she saw Katelyn leading a moving crew into the nextâdoor apartment
Curious, Anastasia asked, âMs Katelyn, what are you doing?â
âAna, youâre backâ Katelyn smiled at Anastasia. âI bought the apartment next door. From now on, Iâll be your neighbor. Are you happy about that, Ana?â
A condo here would cost at least a million dollars, yet she bought one so easily?
Did she do it just to be her neighbor?
âMs. Katelyn, are you serious?â Anastasia was taken aback. âYou really bought the condo next door?â
âYes.â Katelyn chuckled. âNow I can come chat with you when Iâm bored. Also, I can cook. Let me know if thereâs anything you want to eat and Iâll prepare it for you. You wonât have to work so hardâ
Katelynâs main goal in moving here was to facilitate the relationship between Anastasia and Herman. As the future motherâin-law, she wanted to make sure they would have a baby soon.
