Seymour absolutely despised anyone using special connections to enter his department.
The last time Lawrence shoved someone into the team, their clueless micromanaging had turned the entire division into a chaotic mess.
He was still cleaning up that disaster, and it gave him an endless headache.
So, when Landon had called to recommend someone, his initial reaction had been fierce resistance. But the moment he reviewed Melody's profile, his worries vanished.
Melody's resume was stellar. If she joined the project team, it would be a massive boost to the team.
Hearing she had arrived, he had hurried out to welcome her with genuine excitement.
He hadn't expected the higher-ups to shove yet another person into his department.
Seymour glanced at Seraphina's folder, curled his lip, took it, and began reading it right there in the hallway.
"A bachelor's degree?" Seymour's voice pitched up sharply.
At his words, everyone in the corridor turned to look at Seraphina.
Melody looked at Seraphina, the corners of her lips curling into a smile. "Actually, there's nothing wrong with a bachelor's degree. After all, Ms. Simmons is quite capable, isn't she?"
Seraphina completely ignored her.
Her silence only fed into the growing speculation among the staff fueled by Melody's subtle jab.
Regardless of the context, an undergraduate degree was simply too low a starting point for someone here.
In the Langford Group's Innovation & Strategy Division, the absolute bare minimum requirement was a master's degree.
There was also no shortage of PhDs.
As a mere bachelor's degree holder, Seraphina was a glaring outlier.
Seymour finished flipping through Seraphina's resume, his brow furrowing into a tight knot. "You haven't touched the industry in three years... and you only have a bachelor's degree..."
He looked up at her. "Ms. Simmons, I apologize, but I don't believe you are suited for..."
Seraphina arched an eyebrow. Lucian had said he already mentioned her onboarding to Seymour.
