Chapter 8 An Incompetent Beauty

  • The security guard hesitated upon hearing Zoey's name.
  • At the same time, Zoey raised her voice. "Roxana, why do you dress like this for an interview?"
  • Zoey was fuming. At this rate, she will fail on first impressions before she even has the chance to show her skills!
  • "I'm not scared. Why are you worried?" Roxana had a confident expression. I have had dealings with a certain perverted president here, so why should I worry about a minor interview?
  • "Argh, you're driving me crazy. I don't know how you manage to work in TE Group for so long." Zoey sighed and led Roxana toward the hall for her interview.
  • As they were heading there, a large group of people suddenly appeared before them. Zoey noticed something was off and immediately pushed Roxana behind her.
  • At this moment, all the staff in the lobby stood in two lines and bowed as they greeted, "Good morning, Mr. Jacquin."
  • Then, the lobby turned silent except for the sounds of approaching footsteps. Roxana could sense the cold sweat on Zoey's hand as she pushed Roxana behind her.
  • In the span of five years, Damien had become the president. He had grown more mature and gained even more authority.
  • As Roxana was engrossed in her thought, she suddenly heard the footsteps coming to a pause, and an intimidating male voice sounded, "Zoey, I want documents on the acquired companies."
  • Roxana could hear a slight tremble in Zoey's tone as she replied, "Yes, Mr. Jacquin. I'll get them ready as soon as possible."
  • "I want them now." His tone brood no argument. He gave Zoey a few more instructions before walking away.
  • Roxana glanced at his back profile. He was tall and had a good figure. As she was still observing, Damien suddenly turned around and looked at her with hawk-like eyes.
  • It was not her first time meeting his gaze. But somehow, she could not help but tremble for a brief moment.
  • He wore a black tailored suit and a tie with golden stripes. At the same time, his amazing form and well-defined face made him even more masculine than five years ago. His whole being exuded effortless charisma.
  • However, Roxana was unfamiliar with the coldness of his demeanor.
  • "Irrelevant people are forbidden from entering Jacquin Group." Damien did not look away from Roxana as he spoke but observed her closely.
  • He noticed her old-fashioned makeup and clothes. As Roxana expected, he could not recognize her.
  • On the other hand, Zoey became anxious and answered urgently, "Mr. Jacquin, she is not someone irrelevant. She's actually here to interview for the position in the business planning department."
  • Numerous people around them rolled their eyes as soon as they heard Zoey.
  • Jacquin Group had high requirements for their candidates. They had already eliminated many people during the first round of resume screening.
  • Thus, the interviews would be even stricter.
  • "You have failed from your appearance alone." Damien's cold words were like a death sentence to any chances Roxana would have.
  • The security guard heard Damien and came over immediately to chase Roxana out of the building.
  • Since the president had spoken, even Zoey would not be able to defend her.
  • "Mr. Jacquin, do you mean you are looking for a beautiful but incompetent person for this position?" Roxana smirked. She walked past Zoey toward Damien.
  • She also deliberately made her voice hoarse. Since she had changed her appearance and her name, she felt there was no need to worry about being discovered.
  • However, Zoey was shocked. Why has her voice suddenly become like this?
  • Meanwhile, Damien looked down and saw her eyes shining with confidence.
  • These eyes…
  • "If all you need is a beautiful person, I will withdraw from the interview. With my capabilities, I can make any company I join the biggest competitor to Jacquin Group."
