Hazel looked at the direction of the camera, paused for a while and said, "I don't really have any hobbies. I just like to make money and spend it. The biggest requirement I have for my boss is that he has a strong focus. If he does not, then everything is out of the question."
"So, do you mean that your former boss does not have good focus?"
Jayson asked her.
"I worked at Easton Company for six years. It would be a lie to say that I don't have any feelings for the company, but my boss did not only have feelings for the company but also for me as well. I heard that the President of Skyton Corporation, Skylar, has good focus and stays calm in any conditions. Furthermore, he has a wife who has been in a loving relationship with him for more than ten years. For his wife, he did not even hesitate to turn against the third son of the Watson Group."
Hazel said word by word.
Her words left Jayson in much surprise.
What Hazel was talking about, in particular the point about Coralie, was something most people didn't know about. If there was someone among them who knew about it, it would only be Jayson.
"I'm not going to hire her."
Skylar instructed Jayson from the other end of his earpiece.
Hearing this, Jayson knew that Hazel thought that she was quite smart, but she had accidentally upset Skylar. Jayson figured that Hazel had said too much when he received the instructions from Skylar; he hated being investigated by others the most.
"Madam Meyer, I'm very sorry that we can't hire you."
Jayson informed her immediately.
Among the three interviewers, only Jayson was wearing the earpiece. When he said that, Dominic and Lorraine were very much surprised.
"Assistant Lowell, don't you think we should discuss it a little more?"
"Assistant Lowell, I feel like you're giving an inappropriate statement."
Both of them tried to persuade Jayson Lowell.
"This is President Holland's direct order."
Jayson said frankly.
"Not going to hire me? Why? I am much better than the other two, aren't I? Don't tell me that it's just because of my gender?"
Hazel was filled with much confidence when she came, however, she didn't expect Skylar to turn her down!
"Madam Meyer, you're an excellent person. I'm sure there are many companies out there who would want to hire you."
Jayson said politely.
Hazel was even more annoyed. "No! I want to meet President Holland. Why can't he hire me? If you don't give me a legitimate reason, I'll sue you for gender discrimination."
With her strong personality, she was even more angry when she heard Jayson's words.
"Madam Meyer, please rethink about the last question that you've answered. As a professional manager, you..."
"Let her come over."
Jayson wanted to tell Hazel that she had crossed the line. As a professional manager, she knew too much and had said too much.
Whether it was a secretary or a manager, the most important thing was not to speak up too much. She was too eager to express herself and while she was smart, her confidence caused her to make mistakes.
"Madam Meyer, please come with me."
Obeying Skylar's order, Jayson took Hazel to the President's office.
As soon as he left with Hazel, Dominic and Lorraine also followed along. They began a discussion while making their way there.
"I think that although Hazel is a female manager, it seems that she is the most suitable choice for Skyton Corporation now. For the sake of Skyton Corporation's future development, I'd like to ask you to persuade President Holland."
As a secretary, Lorraine had no rights to interfere with Skylar's decision.
Dominic was different. He was older than Skylar and he was also the company's CFO, so his words carried some weight in it. If Dominic spoke up, it was likely that there would be a change to the situation.
"Yes, I agree. I didn't expect that we would be able to get such a suitable person in such a short period of time. I'll persuade him."
Dominic shared the same opinion with Lorraine.
For the sake of the company's future, Hazel Meyer was undoubtedly the best choice.
"By the way, Director West, what about the wife whom Hazel said that President Holland was with for more than a decade? Does President Holland have a wife? Is it Coralie Chariott?"
If it was possible for Skylar to have a wife who was with him for more than ten years, that person would most likely be Coralie.
Lorraine was very interested in rumors about Skylar. She was always around Skylar, the indifferent, expressionless Prince Charming every day, and she had some wishful thinking towards him.
