Olivia trailed behind Dick in the corridor, holding up the long Bohemian dress with her both hands carefully. Dick strode forward at a fast pace while Olivia took small steps, trying hard to catch up with him.
Looking at herself, she found that the dress was still too long for her even though she was wearing high-heel shoes.
While Dick's wife looked so graceful in the same dress. They were really a perfect match. "Ouch!" Distracted by her thoughts, Olivia didn't realize that he stopped abruptly and bumped into him. She looked around and asked, "Sir, the human resources department is on this floor. Why did you call the elevator?"
Just then, the elevator dinged and Dick entered it. Seeing her standing there gawking at him with her bright eyes, he said, "If you want to work here, get in."
Olivia was hesitant as she was still wondering what his plan was. But the elevator wasn't going to wait for her. She quickly slipped in and murmured glumly, "If you don't get me a job today, I'll keep pestering you."
Dick snorted and ignored her warning. The elevator stopped on the fifteenth floor.
He walked to the innermost room. The secretary seated at a desk outside the room stood up and said, "Mr. Dick, the morning meeting will begin in fifteen minutes."
He nodded in acknowledgment and pushed the door open. Olivia smiled at the beautiful secretary and waved at her amicably. However, the secretary responded with a frosty stare and continued to work.
Olivia shrugged. The secretary was just like her boss. Well, one thing was for sure, he definitely held a high position at this company. Olivia was about to enter the office when she noticed the sign on the door, which said 'President'.
Her head was buzzing suddenly. What were the odds! She recalled his photos in the magazine interview.
"You still have twelve minutes. Close the door." 'Is she awake?' Dick wondered. He was starting to get testy.
She was stumped. Now she didn't know what to do. She quickly closed the door and stood in front of his table with an idiotic smile.
Dick put away his documents and looked up at her. Thirty seconds had passed. Her smile was very pleasant, but she was just standing there dumbly. He asked, "Don't you know why you are here?"
"Oh, yes! I'm sorry." It was not until then that Olivia came to her senses. She hastily opened her bag, took out her resume, and placed it in front of him neatly.
Dick read her resume carefully. Only the sound of him turning the pages could be heard in the room. Olivia could not help but feel nervous, as there was no emotion on his face.
"Miss Olivia, you used to be the assistant to the manager in our company's branch office. Why did you quit? Besides, your boss has written an impressive letter of recommendation for you," Dick asked, raising his eyes.
