“My apologies, Sir, but we cannot approve your application.”
“Why not?”
“Your qualification within the Petroleum Chamber of Commerce isn’t high enough for us to approve it…”
Nathalia found her explanation ridiculous.
“If my qualification isn’t high enough, then why don’t you tell me what qualification I need to get the approval?”
The receptionist seemed too well prepared to counter Nathalia’s fury.
She pulled out a document and handed it to Boneng. “This is a detailed document of all our Chamber’s members. I believe you’ll find your answer once you look through it.”
Nathalia took over the document and quickly realized what was going on.
His name was there, but next to it was the label “ordinary member”. Everyone else, however, was labeled “senior member”.
Nathalia clearly remembered that there was no such thing as a “senior member” before today.
“What’s this supposed to mean?” Nathalia asked lowly.
“We have the corresponding copies of our newest regulations. If you have any questions, perhaps you will find your answer there…” The pretty receptionist replied smoothly and with practiced ease.
Nathalia did not have to ask to know that she was placed here to deal with him. Therefore, Nathalia knew that there was no need to continue reading the document in his hands.
He would not find the answer he was looking for anyway.
Instead, Nathalia turned to ask her, “Then tell me, how does one become a senior member?”
