“When is the press conference?” Anastasia asked.
“Next Saturday.” Larry replied dutifully.
“I’ll be there,” she promised with a nod.
He beamed as he added, “I’m sure the Bourgeois team will be happy to have you at the helm of the business.”
She smiled. “Well, in that case, I look forward to hearing more of your business strategies and having you show me the ropes, Vice President Young.”
While this was happening, Elliot was in his office at Presgrave Group, sifting through the documents piled up on his desk when he came across a resume. He opened the folder and frowned slightly. It was Lorelai’s resume, and she was applying not for an important position, but for an analyst job advertised by the finance department in one of his
subsidiaries in the country.
However, as it was against the rules to employ members of the Presgraves’ extended family, Elliot had no choice but to reject her job application. He decided that he would personally recommend her to some other company instead.
Seeing the number she had written at the very top of her resume, he grabbed his phone and called her.
“Hello?” Lorelai greeted on the other line.
“Hey, Lorelai, it’s Elliot here. I just saw your resume and I believe an analyst job is far beneath your capabilities,” he said in a gravelly tone.
Lorelai said earnestly, “Elliot, if you’ve read my resume, you would know that I don’t care about the job as much as I do about getting into your company.”
“I can recommend you to another company that happens to be hiring, and I think you’d be a good fit for the job,” Elliot said firmly.
She paused for a few seconds before pressing, “I’m actually in the area right
now. Is it okay if I head to your office for a quick chat, Elliot? I don’t think I’ve ever seen it in person before.”
