The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99 The Final Interview

"Hello, I'm here for an interview. I've already scheduled a time with the HR manager, Ms Romero." Harleen said as she approached the front desk.

"May I have your last name?" The busy receptionist looked up at Harleen.

"I'm Harleen Knight."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Two minutes later, the receptionist who had hung up the phone led Harleen to a small conference room on the eighth floor.

"Ms Knight, please wait here for Manager Romero."

"Thank you." Harleen nodded in response and took a seat.

After about five minutes, a woman in uniform walked in. She was under thirty years old with delicate features and light makeup that accentuated her already stunning figure wrapped tightly by her uniform.

"You must be Ms Knight?" The woman sat down across from Harleen and there was a surprised look on her face as she stared at Harleen's charming face.

"Yes!" Harleen stood up to greet her, "Manager Mona Romero? Thank you for giving me this opportunity to interview!"

"Don't mention it, Ms Knight," Mona nodded slightly, "I've reviewed your resume and it seems to match our company's marketing department manager's requirements. I called you here today to discuss some issues face-to-face."

"Okay." Harleen sat back down.

The two of them talked for about ten minutes before Mona stood up.

"Ms Knight, I'm pleased to inform you that your initial interview has passed. I will now take you to meet our company's vice president for a final interview."

"Thank you, Manager Romero!" Harleen's face lit up.

Five minutes later, the two arrived at the door of a large office on the thirty-eighth floor. Mona knocked on the door and led Harleen inside.

"Mr Blount, this is Ms Knight. I brought her here for your final interview." Mona said as she looked towards a young man sitting on the sofa drinking red wine.

As she spoke, she casually locked the office door behind her. To her, her previous meeting with Harleen was just going through the motions. When she received Harleen's resume yesterday and saw her photo, she handed it over to this young man without hesitation.

This was their usual process-he had instructed her that any woman who came in for an interview with good looks should be brought to him for a final review or "interview". It was just his way of selecting women he found interesting or attractive enough to pursue further relations with.

Before this moment, Mona had already brought in more than ten beautiful women for him to "interview." Almost all of them were coerced or threatened by him into doing things they didn't want to do right there in his office-but because Mona recorded everything and he paid them handsomely afterwards as hush money-most chose silence instead of speaking out against him even if some did try reporting him. Keith Blount's family connections always kept things quiet and safe from legal repercussions.

"Ms Knight, nice to meet you!" The young master pointed to the sofa opposite him. "Please have a seat!"

His eyes roamed over Harleen for a moment, with a hint of fervor in their depths. "No wonder she's known as Ozin's number one beauty, she truly was an unparalleled beauty." Keith thought to himself.

"Thank you, Mr Blount." Feeling the invasive gaze of the other party, Harleen furrowed her eyebrows slightly before sitting down on the sofa.

"You can call me Keith." He lit up a cigar and took a puff before continuing.

"I've heard of your name for quite some time and now seeing you in person today is even better than hearing about you. Compared to you, those so-called A-list celebrities aren't even worthy enough to tie your shoelaces!"

"Hmm?" Harleen was slightly taken aback by his words. "Do you know me?"
