Diana's lips twitched at Eleanor's words. She forced a smile and said, "Running a business isn't charity. Of course, the owners have to consider their own interests.
"How about this? If you're worried about Bailee being mistreated, why don't you have her work at my husband's company?
"They're currently looking for sales executives. The base salary isn't high, but if she performs well, she could easily make about 5,000 dollars a month with commissions."
"What?" Eleanor's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Are you kidding me, Diana? You want Bailee to work at your small company as a sales executive? That's just going to ruin her future!" Eleanor exclaimed in protest, and even Bailee's face twisted in disgust.
"Aunt Diana, no offense, but your company is way too small. It's not even located in the central business district. There's no class at all!
"If I work there, my peers will laugh at me. Besides, 'sales executive' might sound fancy, but it's still just a salesperson. I'm a jewelry designer and an artist. How could I stoop to such a low-level job?
"Even if you offered me 10,000 dollars a month, I wouldn't lower myself to take such a degrading position," Bailee said disdainfully.
Eleanor nodded in agreement. "That's right. Bailee is meant for big things, not to be stuck in some tiny company like Henderson Group."
Diana's expression darkened as she listened to their harsh words. Since when did Henderson Group become a "tiny" company?
While the Henderson family might not compare to the top-tier families in Riverdale, it was still a leading family among the middle class.
Henderson Group usually had strict hiring standards. If Bailee weren't her niece, with her unrealistic ambitions and lack of real skill, she wouldn't even have made it past the first round of interviews.
