Chapter 11: Interview. After returning home, Janet began applying for a job. After the conversation with her adoptive parents that morning, Janet understood she couldn’t rely on the money they had. promised to give her. Janet had majored in design. She had graduated this year with flying colors. She was a popular face in the university because of. her outstanding design talent. She was supposed to apply for a job like her classmates earlier this year. However, her application was delayed because she had been looking after Hannah. The old maid was ill, and taking care of her was more important to her. After sorting out her portfolio and resume, she sent them to reputable companies, Considering Janet was a gold medalist and. had received several accolades, she received interview calls in a few days. "Oh my God! This is unbelievable!". She clamped her mouth with excitement and stared at the computer, A black invitation was flashing on the screen. It was an. interview invitation from the Larson Group. Everyone revered the design department of the Larson Group. Fashion and jewelry design were just one of the many industries the Larson Group was engaged in. They were a pioneer in dealing with multiple domains in the country. Their operations expanded all over the world. Brandon Larson, the CEO of the Larson Group, was a legend in the industry. He was young, talented, and the sole reason for the. Larson Group's success. However, the man was an enigma. He had barely appeared in front of the public. People practically knew nothing about him. Only the senior executives of the Larson Group knew what he looked like. Other people had little knowledge about him. Janet, too, was curious to know about him

Apart from the interview invitation, the company had also sent an examination paper. Janet had to finish it before attending the interview. A frown lined Janet's forehead as she read the questions: none of them were from the books she had read. They were all tricky que stions that even design experts couldn't answer. However, the Larson Group required m ore for their staff and manpower than the other companies in the industry. That was why Jane t wanted to join the Larson Group. It would offe r her the ide al experience. After finishing the e xamination, Janet left for the Larson Group. Her eyes widened as she l ooked at a silver building towering into the clouds. The translucent glass at the door reflected Janet’s slender figure. The receptionist gave Janet a brief intr oduction handbook of the Larson Group an d asked her to wait in the waiting area. The building had s ilver, black, and white shiny walls. Fashionable men and women decked up in sleek outfi ts walked past each other. Meanwhile, a handsome man, sur rounded by several people, wal ked into the private elevator. Janet’s eyes narro wed; she felt the m an looked familiar. However, before she cou ld get a closer look, s omeone called her name. It was Janet's turn to attend the interview. Aman and two women dressed in formal clothes were seated o n the other side of the desk. “Our interviewer Elaine Sellers has graduated from the same university as yours. You two are schoolmates. The woman on the left had straig ht chestnut hair. She picked up Janet's r esume and cast a curiou s look at her colleague. Elaine regained her composure and looked at Janet. "What a coincidence! I was indeed Miss Lin d’s senior in school," she said flatly Jan et's eyes fell on the woman in the middle. She soon rememb ered they shared a strange past. One of the senior schoolmates had a crush on Janet. However, Elaine l iked him. Therefore, she hated Jan et for it and even cause d trouble for her later. Janet had no interes t in the man, so she didn’t care about it. After graduation, they al l parted ways, and Janet n ever saw Elaine until now

Elaine pursed her ruddy li ps and nodded. "Miss Lind, you have an impressive resume. But I don’t think you'd be the right fit h ere because we are looking for experienced . candidates. Where is th e examination paper we sent to you earlier?” . Janet took the examination paper from her bag and ga ve it to the interviewers. The male interviewe r took it. His brows knitted together as he f lipped the pages. "Well, Elaine, did you send t he wrong examination paper to her? This one is not for new . It turned out that Elaine had purposefully sent the wrong examination paper to Janet a long with the interview invitation, thinking . she would ba ck out from t he interview. Janet knew that El aine’s sweet smile was just a facade. The woman had always tried ru ining her life. Elaine smiled and said, "If Miss Lin d is capable enough, she would have been able to crack the examination. "You are right, Miss S ellers. Please see how I've fared,"said Janet. "Well done! In fact, this examination paper is only for candidates with mo re than three years’ work experience. The other two in terviewers looked at Janet in awe. Elaine didn’t utter a word. She stared at t he examination paper, shaking her head in e xasperation. She couldn't believe that Janet . had clear ed the ex amination. Even some senior designers found it difficult to answer the quest ions, yet Janet had got it right. The other two interviewers asked Janet a few more questions, and she effortlessly answered them. After Janet left, the two interviewers could n't stop praising her. "She is a young, insight ful designer. Our company needs someone like her. Elaine threw Janet’s resu me aside, her eyes blazin g with anger and disgust. "She is not r ight for the Larson Group!"
