Chapter 276 Is There Still Hope?
Glenn thought he was consoling me. The last thing he had expected was for me to hire him. He had been studying for the past few years, and he actually didn’t have many opportunities to amass practical experience.
The moment Glenn learned that I was working on a cross–province project, he agreed without a second thought. With that said, he stammered and asked if I could hire more people.
“My former roommate had also just quit his job and wanted to come back to his hometown. over here. How about you take a look at him as well?
“Also, a college junior of mine is looking for a job. She’s kind of silly, but she’s smart when it comes to work. She had just graduated from her master’s program.”
I gave Glenn a deliberate look. “Is she silly or smart?” The way he described her was more than enough to prove it.
Glenn scratched his head in embarrassment. “Do you think it’ll work?”
‘Sure. Let her attend the interview. Go ahead and tell me if more of your classmates suit the profile. I’m actually short of manpower, and it’s not just designers. I need clerks as well.”
I thought about my several offices and thought it’d be quite spooky if no one was there. Glenn was very grateful and told me that I could leave the recruitment to him. He knew some senior students who were looking for an internship, and all of them could come together.
I didn’t think I was going to wrap up the recruitment this fast. Actually, I felt a little dazed. When Glenn took me back to the hospital, he was still quite pumped.
“My professor told me that it was a pity you didn’t choose to study further. He said that you are gifted in this particular area. It’s just that you… Um…”
“I like slacking off.” I finished Glenn’s sentence. Leonard used to say that about me as well, but I honestly didn’t like studying. I managed to graduate from college because of my meager talents. With that said, that wasn’t what I was going to do now. Life was short, and I had much to learn.
“You can drop me here now. Don’t forget about what you promised me.” I patted Glenn’s shoulder, signaling to him that he may return now.
Glenn waved his phone. “Sure, Eva. We’ll keep in touch via WhatsApp.”
Now that I had finished a major task, I suddenly felt much more relaxed. If I had my own team, I could still make some significant milestones, even if I didn’t collaborate with Harmon Group.
When I turned around, I saw Leonard’s bodyguard wheeling him over. I paused briefly before I headed straight into the hospital.
Chappers There Still Hope?
“Where did you go, and what did you do?” Leonard asked coldly. There was even some anger in his tone. He used to act the same way when someone put their moves on me. Then, he’d start acting pitiful..
“I don’t have to report anything to you,” I responded in the same cold tone.
Leonard suddenly rose from the wheelchair and grabbed me while he swayed a little. “I–Is it Glenn? I didn’t get it wrong. Did I?
“Are you actually still keeping in touch with him? It has been so many years. Is he still after you?”
Good grief. Leonard couldn’t remember anything if his life depended on it. Now, however, he remembered Glenn, even though he had only seen him several times..
