Natalie forced a smile, unsure of how to respond to Dolores’ excessive praise. “Thank you very much. I appreciate it. But I still have a lot of hard work ahead of me,” she replied.
Laughing, Dolores patted Natalie on the shoulder. “No need to be so modest, Natalie!”
Natalie couldn’t help but notice Dolores’ overly familiar behavior. They had only known each other for two days, yet Dolores acted as if they were old friends. Clearing her throat, Natalie politely asked, “Was there something specific you wanted to discuss? If not, I should get back to work.”
Dolores smiled and suggested, “How about we grab some coffee? I just woke up from a nap, and I still feel a bit dizzy.”
Natalie saw no harm in that and followed Dolores into the tea room. As they found themselves alone, Dolores suddenly looked at Natalie with a serious exp**ssion.
“Natalie, you’ve been working here for quite some time, right?” Dolores asked, seeking confirmation.
Natalie focused on making coffee and didn’t look up. “Yes, it’s been almost a year. Why do you ask? Is something going on?”
“Mr. Wesley mentioned that we’re in charge of interviewing applicants, and I have a friend who’s eager to work here. We graduated from the same design school. I can’t bear to say no to him… Can you help me out?” Dolores requested, hoping for Natalie’s assistance.
Natalie tilted her head to the side, pondering the situation. “Well, if he’s your friend, I suppose there shouldn’t be an issue as long as he meets the required professional skills. However, we already have numerous applicants at this stage. Let’s see if he stands out among them.”
Dolores’ smile faded, and she exclaimed, “Oh my gosh! Doesn’t Natalie understand what I mean? I meant we don’t need to consider other candidates if we choose her friend directly!” She spoke slowly, winking at Natalie with a flattering smile.
This made Natalie extremely uncomfortable. She had always valued her work, and it was the first time she faced such an ethical dilemma. “Let’s see how his interview goes first,” Natalie replied, deliberately giving Dolores a vague answer.
The interview began promptly at three in the afternoon. Dolores wore a disappointed exp**ssion throughout the process, while Natalie maintained her professionalism. If Dolores’ friend truly possessed exceptional talent, they would be welcomed without skipping the interview process. Natalie couldn’t help but feel that Dolores was underestimating her own design capabilities.
