Mandy had been sitting on the chair, so Joey had no idea how tall she was. But when she stood up, Joey was surprised to find that Mandy was even taller than herself, though she was five feet six inches.
It was estimated that Mandy was at least five feet nine inches tall.
Besides, she was very thin, which made her look even taller, but not in an uncomfortable way. All in all, she was a slender tall young woman.
Joey paused for a second and then quickly stood up, reaching out her right hand to shake hers and saying happily, “Thank you, Mandy. I’ll do my best.”
Mandy nodded with a smile and sat down, saying, “Don't be overjoyed. The administrative director doesn’t get paid as well as the president’s secretary.”
“I know. Salary isn’t an issue. I just hope I could work in a fair and healthy environment.”Joey replied.
She had worked as the administrative director at the Walter group before, thus she knew roughly how much she would be paid. But as she had just said, she just wanted the work environment to be friendly and healthy enough to allow her to focus on hard work, instead of living in constant fear of a domineering boss who would bully and molest her anytime, like what John Walter had done.
Mandy nodded with satisfaction, “All right. You can start working at eight o’clock tomorrow morning. Next!”
Joey thanked her again. When she was about to leave the office to make way for the next interviewee, she hesitated at the door and turned around to ask another question because she was too curious, “Mandy, may I know why you decided to give me the job?”
It was apparent that Mandy hadn’t taken her very seriously at the beginning. Joey wondered why she had changed her mind, because it seemed that Mandy had suddenly decided to give her the job without asking much about her previous job. Joey was very confused.
Mandy smiled and shrugged, “It’s simple. I want my subordinate to be honest, confident and moral. You’re the perfect candidate.”
Joey blinked in shock. She hadn’t said much, and Mandy had seen through her in such a short time. What a sharp and sophisticated woman!
Joey thought it was truly unbelievable, which had escaped Mandy. She smiled confidently, “Why are you staring at me? Am I wrong?”
“Of course not!”
Joey was very impressed.
