A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 25

"Mr. Victor, thank you, but maybe that is not such a good idea..." Emily spoke in a cautious tone," I would prefer to have an advance on my salary, if you will allow it."

"It is company policy to give an employee a salary advance for only two months at most. If I make an exception for you, the other employees will follow suit," Victor denied Emily's request firmly and suggested," Besides, once your advance salary runs out, you will not earn a penny for the next five months. Since your father is in urgent need of money, he can't just lay in bed and wait."

"Mr. Victor..."

"I will lend you the money you need, from my personal account. You may repay it with your salary in the future," he continued. Victor appreciated Emily's talent; he was willing to consider her situation and grant her a favor.

Emily felt a little embarrassed, but she nodded in agreement to Victor's suggestion. She was grateful for Victor's consideration and generosity, as she expressed her gratitude," Thank you for being so kind to me, Mr. Victor," she continued," I will work very hard to repay your kindness."

Even after hanging up the phone, Emily's head was still floating in the clouds. In a short time, not only did she acquire the money she needed for her father's treatment, but she also found a new job. Furthermore, she finally got a chance to work for her respected idol.

The next morning, Emily went to LA Jewelry Company to register, but when she stepped into the company gate, she was astonished.

Emily knew that the LA Jewelry Company was a newly established company, so she was expecting to see a newly decorated office, but what she did not expect was that the company had only two employees —Victor's assistant Linda and Emily. There were only three people in the company, including Victor.

"Mr. Victor, where are my other colleagues?" Emily asked hesitantly.

Victor sat behind his office desk, calm and collected, slowly stirring his coffee," It's just the three of us."

His words left Emily speechless.

'I wonder if he set this company up just for fun...' Emily thought.

"Linda has been my assistant for many years, and you are the first employee of this company," Victor cast a glance at Emily," You should be honored to be here."

"Yes, it is my honor to be here," nodded Emily. Then she asked," So, what would my duties be?"

"Everything, including the recruitment of other employees."

"What?" Emily shook her head," I'm afraid I can't do all of that by myself."

Emily was of the impression that Victor had hired her because of her talent as a jewelry designer, even though she couldn't hold a candle to him. Moreover, she had no previous experience of qualifications in human resources. What if she screwed up?

Victor, however, was very determined," I am offering you this high-paying job not to have you stay idle. If you don't know how to do the work, try to learn, and give it your best."

Emily nodded at Victor's words of encouragement, as if she had suddenly, found more confidence and energy," I will, Mr. Victor."

It was a really busy and productive day. With the assistance of Linda and guidance from Victor, Emily finally got her mind in shape. However, since there were only three of them dealing with all business, Emily was exhausted from being swamped with work the entire day.

When she got off from work at night, she found that the money Victor promised to lend to her, 660, 000 in total, had already been transferred into her bank account.

Emily stared at the number on the screen in silence, with a massive lump in her throat and tears in her eyes. She quickly transferred the money to her mother.

'Mr. Victor is really warm-hearted and generous, ' she thought.

In the CEO's Office of Gu Consortium

Jacob sullenly looked at the man sitting before him and enjoying a cup of tea leisurely. "Victor, I wasn't aware that you liked meddling in other people's business."

Jacob was more disgruntled when he learned that Victor had hired Emily, offered her a high salary and even lent her money. He felt like Victor had stolen his lovely pet from him.

The little rabbit had already set one foot in his trap, just a few more steps and she would have become Jacob's prey.
