Chapter 303
“This is your company?”
Liberty had no doubts that this was Duncan’s company after pulling herself out of the shock. The company’s name was Lewis & Co. after all.
Zachary mentioned that Mr. Lewis was an important client of his company. It never crossed Liberty’s mind that Duncan was the CEO of Lewis & Co.
Liberty was still in the working scene when Lewis & Co. was on the rise, so she knew what the company was made of. However, she had never connected the dots between Duncan and the CEO of Lewis & Co.
“Mr. Lewis, I don’t want to make a scene. I came for the interview, but your interviewer said the way I carry myself doesn’t befit the company’s image. I asked for the reason, and she answered that I’m too fat. She fat–shamed me. I was furious and put her down for that. She then called me a fat cow and told me to get lost.
“Lewis & Co. is one of the biggest companies here in Wiltspoon. I always thought the employees of your company would have class. I’m surprised to find otherwise.”
“Mr. Lewis, I…”
Ms. Chaplin came forward to explain, but she dared not breathe a word after Duncan gave her a look.
Duncan asked Liberty, “What position were you applying for?”
“Finance clerk. I have an impressive resume working as a
finance director before.”
Duncan took the resume from her and said, “Give me a
moment. I’ll give you an answer in a bit.”
He then said to his client apologetically, “Mr. Daniels, I need to attend to a matter. Can you wait for me at my VIP reception?”
Duncan gestured to the secretary to take Mr. Daniels upstairs.
He walked out of the office building and pulled out his phone to call his best friend. Duncan waited until his friend picked up before muttering, “Zachary, I ran into your sister–in–law again. She came for an interview in my company and had a spat with the interviewer. She was nearly kicked out by the security guards.”
Zachary was speechless.
His sister–in–law must be feeling upset now.
