Mrs. Marsh's Revealed Identities novel (Jennifer and Ivan) novel Chapter 1306

Chapter 1306 Is This a Blessing in Disguise?

"Carole, why did you leave your previous job? You were there for three years and your performance was outstanding," the main examiner queried.
The interview process was in full swing and nearing its conclusion. Meanwhile, Saskia Holt was still in the restroom, waiting. When she finally received her much-needed sanitary pad, she didn't cry tears of joy, she simply broke down - the delivery guy had just told her he was caught in a traffic jam.
Half an hour had passed. Her interview was undoubtedly over.
Emerging from the restroom, she checked herself over. At least her pants were clean, she thought, or else she might have really broken down. Masking her discomfort, she quickened her pace towards the interview hall, only to find the process had already concluded.
All of her peers were gone, leaving only the four main examiners, huddled around the long table, quietly discussing the paperwork.
"Hello..." She knocked tentatively on the open door, taking a step inside. "Excuse me, has the interview... ended?"
It was an obvious question, but she couldn't help but ask, her disappointment heavy in her voice.
The examiners all looked up at her, their expressions questioning.
Meeting their gaze, Saskia offered a sheepish smile.
One of the examiners asked, "Who are you?"
"I am Saskia Holt," she said, standing firm and stating her name.
Another examiner glanced down at the name list, her name crossed out. "You even managed to be late for the interview? And so late? Do you think a reputable company would hire you?"
She tried to explain, embarrassment coloring her words, "I was not late, I had an unexpected issue. I started menstruating suddenly and I... I only realized once I stepped through this door and had to find a restroom."
At this moment, the handsome and young Kevin walked in. Seeing that the room was empty and the interview process had concluded, he looked a little disappointed. Had he arrived too late?
"Kevin, special assistant." Someone stood and handed him some documents. "These are the names of those who have passed our interviews. I have informed them to come to work tomorrow morning."
"Okay," he said, taking the documents. "I forgot to mention, we need to hire one more person. The president's office needs an assistant."
The female director looked surprised. "We didn't receive any notification about this."
"I know," Kevin replied. "I came late." He then turned his attention to Saskia. "What's her story? Who is she?"
"She was late for her interview. She only came after it was over," someone reported honestly.
Kevin turned to Saskia, who was now looking at the floor in embarrassment. "Why were you late?" he asked, assessing her.
Seeing this as her only opportunity, Saskia steeled herself and looked up at him. "I didn't arrive late this morning. I came with the group, but I started menstruating suddenly and had to go to the restroom. The delivery was delayed and..."
"Alright, you're hired," Kevin interrupted, sparing her any further embarrassment. He could sense her discomfort and didn't want to add to it, especially since they needed additional help in the president's office.
Saskia looked up in surprise.
Was she hired without an interview?
No questions asked? Hired directly??
"Don't celebrate just yet," Kevin added. "You'll be on probation for a week. If you can't satisfy us, the company won't sign you."
"Okay, okay, okay," Saskia said, still a bit dazed, but very happy.
