The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 86

The Audit Department's swanky digs on the top floor were all set up, with Wyatt having already moved in. Every day, new job seekers were coming in to interview, some with master's degrees, others with PhDs, all with strong education backgrounds.

Cordelia took her bilingual resume and paid Wyatt's office a visit.

Wyatt was now forty-something. He was a friendly and humble guy with some serious language skills, so he and Cordelia had no trouble communicating.

"Ms. Haselwood, you can submit your resume directly to the HR department. I'm still new here and don't know the staff all that well." Wyatt said.

"To be honest with you, Mr. Wyatt, I've already submitted my resume, but the HR department bounced it back. But I really want to work in auditing. I was a top graduate at school, got scholarships every year, passed three CPA exams, and am currently working in the Finance Department. Just have a look at my resume." Cordelia said while exuding a cool and collected aura.

Wyatt gave her a nod and started perusing her resume. Cordelia was one of the few people who had brought in a resume in German, which impressed Wyatt.

"Ms. Haselwood, do you speak German?" Wyatt asked Cordelia.

"Oh, no, I don't."

"Then your resume..."

"My husband translated it for me." Cordelia reluctantly answered, careful not to mention Ronan's name to avoid any misunderstandings.

"You're married?"

"Yes, just recently."

"So when are you guys planning to have children? I know it's a sensitive question. Sorry, Ms. Haselwood. I don't mean to offend, but it's important for the job interview." Wyatt said with a shrug.

Cordelia got it.

Women often get asked this question during job interviews.

"We barely see each other at the company anyway." Ronan leaned back in his chair.

"What?" Jordan didn't catch that.

"You go talk to her about it. I have no objections." Ronan handed the form back to Jordan.

When Jordan returned to his office, he gave Cordelia the task of going to work at Lumos Plaza for a month.

"But I just submitted an application to the Audit Department"

"Don't worry, it would be great if you could go to the Audit Department. But even if you can't, being sent out to work for a month is a good opportunity, you could get a promotion when you come back to the Finance Department. Even if you went to the Audit Department, you'd just be an assistant." Jordan whispered to Cordelia, sounding like he really wanted her to stay.

But what he really wanted was for Cordelia to stay in the Finance Department and not go to the Audit Department.
