Chapter 61:
Into this scene of focused anticipation walked Zoey, her elegant presence in a black shirt dress commanding immediate respect from the interview team.
The head of the team quickly approached her, deference in his voice as he introduced Ellie.
“Miss Sawyer, this is Ellie Gordon,” he announced.
Ellie, slightly confused but ever polite, nodded her greeting. “Hi, nice to meet you p>
Zoey, wasting no time, directed firmly, “You, come with me p>
Ellie, taken aback, replied, “But I’m in the middle of an interview p>
The head of the interview team interjected promptly, “Miss Gordon, your work is complete. Please feel free to accompany Miss Sawyer. We will inform you of any further steps via text p>
Ellie offered her thanks and reluctantly followed Zoey out, her mind swirling with questions.
“Miss Gordon, I’m Zoey Sawyer, secretary-general to the CEO. He’s requested to see you,” Zoey explained as they approached the elevator.
Ellie, feeling a twinge of discomfort in her knee and a growing sense of unease, responded, “I don’t believe I’m acquainted with your CEO. May I know why he wishes to meet me p>
Zoey’s response was brief and to the point. “That’s something you’ll need to discuss with the CEO himself p>
The elevator ascended smoothly to the thirty-eighth floor.
Zoey ushered Ellie into the CEO’s office, saying, “Miss Gordon, our boss is caught up in an unexpected meeting. Please make yourself comfortable and wait here p>
The vast office lay empty.
The enigmatic nature of GT Group’s CEO was intriguing to the outside world, as he remained a figure rarely seen even by the financial elite.
Ellie expressed her gratitude to Zoey and settled onto the plush sofa.
She had wrapped up her second interview swiftly, and it hadn’t been long before a message arrived, informing her of the final round scheduled in three days.
As Ellie was pondering over the interview, the office door swung open, and a man’s voice rang out, discussing an upcoming energy deal.
Ellie rose to greet what she assumed would be the elusive president of GT Group. However, the sight of the man entering left her rooted to the spot.
“Kaiden?” she murmured.
Kaiden halted mid-stride, his gaze snapping towards the reception area. He accepted a file from an aide and dismissed him curtly.
“Leave p>
The financial director, poised to discuss crucial details, hesitated but was quickly silenced by Kaiden’s icy glare.
He nodded. “Yes, Mr. Thorpe p>
Kaiden was known for his meticulous and diligent work ethic. What could have possibly made him show such a sudden disinterest in his duties?
As the financial director left, he happened to catch a glimpse of a striking woman standing in the reception area out of the corner of his eye.
Her beauty was undeniable, with bright eyes and rosy cheeks that captured attention.
He thought about the way she addressed Kaiden, and the familiarity between them. Could she be his girlfriend?
