Chapter 205: Recruiting In Japan
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Audrey was thrilled to see her brother, Jordan, but she had to pretend that she didn’t know him in Victoria’s presence.
However, after not seeing him for such a long time, she couldn’t bring herself to pretend like he was invisible. Hence, as soon as she came forth, she cued Jordan a little.
Victoria hurriedly introduced, “Oh, he’s my boyfriend, Jordan Steele. He’s very young, isn’t he? Haha.”
Audrey shook her head and said, “He’s indeed young, but his looks are average. He’s somewhat not worthy of you, Miss Clarke.”
‘Audrey you mischievous girl…’
Audrey and Jordan were half-siblings who shared the same father. Since their age difference was slight, they often played with each other when they were kids. Hence, they were pretty close to each other.
However, in the last three years, Jordan has been almost out of touch with her. He would occasionally chat with his sister and show her some concern.
Jordan didn’t expect Audrey to mock him as soon as they met.
Jordan replied hostilely, “You’re not that good-looking yourself!”
Anyway, they were born to the same father, so if she said he was ugly, it meant that she was ugly too.
Victoria never thought that the two of them would insult each other as soon as they met, so she was so frightened that she turned pale and sat up straight immediately.
“Calm down! Calm down! Let’s not argue. Jordan, simmer down. Miss Audrey, it seems a little inappropriate for you to bluntly make such comments about my boyfriend’s looks, isn’t it?”
It appeared to Victoria that this young woman in her early twenties was too insensible to say it out loud, even if she thought Jordan was ugly.
Besides, Jordan wasn’t ugly either.
Audrey laughed and said, “Look how nervous you’re getting. I was just teasing your boyfriend on purpose. I know he’s very dashing. Hey hunk, my apologies.”
Audrey took the initiative to admit her mistake to Jordan.
Glad to hear that, Victoria patted Jordan’s shoulder and said, “Miss Audrey has apologized to you.”
“Hmph!”
Jordan turned his head to the side arrogantly.
Victoria didn’t realize that it was an act staged by the siblings. Perhaps because there were too many people around her who wanted to find trouble with Jordan, she was paranoid and worried all the time.
Victoria walked to the side and asked, “Miss Audrey, you called at such a late hour. Do you have any important instructions for me?”
Audrey nodded and asked, “You’re in Tokyo now, right?”
Victoria nodded and asked, “Yes, my boyfriend and I are here to watch the Olympic games. Can I report to work in a few days?”
Audrey said, “Yes, that’s fine. It just so happens that I have a job for you to complete in Japan.”
“Please go ahead, Miss Audrey.”
“We have to recruit a new group of couriers from Japan for our company.”
“Huh?”
Victoria was confused as to why Audrey wanted to recruit people from Japan.
Everyone knows that the labor isn’t that expensive in the country, but hiring foreign labor would be relatively high.
Besides, Japan was a developed country where wages were relatively high. Even an elderly bus driver would typically make several thousand a month.
It was rare for people from Japan to go to the U.S. to work low-level jobs.
