Joanne answered, “Last night, I heard Claire say that she and Joe were kicked out of the Wilson family. She must be looking for a new job since she can’t stay at her family’s company any longer.”
Jerry snorted. “George, last night, that loser was so cocky and pompous, causing me and Joanne to be beaten up by those crooks. You must take revenge on our behalf!”
George replied contemptuously, “I’ve always found Joe the loser very annoying and irritating, and now his wife wants to work here? Dream on!”
He stood up, spruced up his coat, and said flatly, “Just wait and see. I’ll reject Claire’s application and kick her out of here!”
Joanne and Jerry plastered a condescending smirk on their faces that said ‘Keep on your pretentious act, losers!’.
George walked out of his office and went directly to the conference room where the interview was being conducted.
Meanwhile, in the conference room, three interviewers were talking to Claire right then.
“Hi, Mr. Harris.”
The three interviewers stood up and bowed to George when he walked into the conference room.
George put on a surprised look when he saw Claire and exclaimed, “Oh, hey! Claire! Why are you here?”
Claire was equally surprised. “Hi, George. Long time no see.”
George nodded with a smile. “Yes, it’s been a while.”
Then, he turned to the three interviewers and said, “You can go out now. I’ll handle this interview.”
“Um, Mr. Harris, I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
“Why? Are you saying that I can’t even conduct an interview?”
“Okay, Mr. Harris!”
George Harris was the senior executive in the company. The interviewers didn’t dare to disobey his order, so they quickly left the room.
Claire was very puzzled at what had just happened. What was George trying to do? Did he want to accept her application under the counter since he knew her?
“Claire, I came as soon as I heard that you were attending the interview today.”
George spoke as he eyed Claire coyly. She was so beautiful and elegant, and her body was so hot. She was so much better than those women on the dating app!
It was a pity that she chose Joe the loser as her husband!
Claire didn’t know that George was up to no good, and so, she hurriedly said upon his politeness, “George, you are too welcome.”
George pasted on a pretentiously kind smile. Taking Claire’s resume from the table, he flipped through it casually and said in a depressing tone, “Claire, I’m so sorry but from what I see in your resume, your qualifications don’t meet our requirements, regardless of skills or experience. You do not fit our demand.”
Then, he sighed and continued, “Well, I’m sorry, Claire. You’ve failed the interview. I suggest you try another company. Good luck!”
Claire was taken aback by his harsh rejection and hurriedly said, “But I’ve been working at the management department at the Wilson Group for so many years! I’m certain that my professionalism fits the criteria that your company has stated.”
George shook his head and said firmly. “Oh, no. Your so-called qualifications and experiences are simply because you are part of the Wilson family. Now that you’ve been kicked out of the family, you’re fundamentally a nobody!”
“Alright, then.” Claire looked down dejectedly, a layer of gloom hovering under her eyes. She finally knew George’s intention of interrupting her interview—he was waging a personal vendetta against her.
She was infuriated by George’s unprofessionalism. Knowing full well that she didn’t stand a chance of being accepted by Spikeworth Corps, she withdrew her smile and walked out of the room in distress.
Behind her, George grinned triumphantly and muttered, “Don’t you ever dream of getting into Spikeworth for as long as I’m here!”
Joe was in the lounge area, waiting. He was a little surprised when he saw Claire walking out of the elevator with an aggrieved expression. He went to her swiftly and asked, “Darling, what’s wrong? How was the interview? Not good?”
Tears drenching her reddened eyes, Claire spilled out everything that had happened during the interview.
Joe was enraged and irritated after listening to her story.
George was such a dick! He never dared to go after him with malicious attempts but he dared to bully his wife?! How dare he!
Taking out his phone, his fingers danced around the virtual keyboard as he typed a message. “George Harris of Spikeworth is pretty powerful, huh? He dares to bully my wife. Mr. White, how are you going to solve it?” He sent it directly to Zeke.
Meanwhile, Zeke was waiting for Joe in the lobby downstairs with his bodyguard. When he received the message, he stared blankly at it first, and soon, the expression on his face was replaced by an extremely shocked gape!
Damn it! He was trying desperately to fawn on Joe, and this George something had gone out of his way and offended Joe’s wife! He had a death wish, didn’t he!?
Enraged, Zeke spoke to his assistant without hesitation. “Gather all of Spikeworth’s board of directors right now!”
Spikeworth Corps was a subsidiary company of the White family, hence, Zeke’s existence in the company was as majestic as the emperor.
When the board of directors heard that Zeke White was here and wanted to see them, they hurriedly went over to greet him.
As the head of the White family, no one dared to upset Zeke. If he disbanded Spikeworth for any reason at all, all of them would be jobless!
George was not one of the directors, so he didn’t know how much trouble he had caused. After driving Claire away, he returned to his office, sitting on his chair and smoking a cigar with a smug smile.
After hearing that George had kicked Claire out, Jerry and Joanne were extremely thrilled. They surrounded him and praised him. “Boss, all you need is one remark and Claire is kicked out of your company! You’re so awesome!”
“True that! George is a senior executive of Spikeworth. George, you are the most successful among us!”
Joanne and Jerry touted George in the hope that if they could be on good terms with him, they would at least be guaranteed a bright future, not to mention being rich and powerful.
George said smugly, “I’ve always found Joe disgusting and irritating since college. Now that his wife wants to apply for Spikeworth? Dream on!”
Joanne giggled. “Ah, George, you should have taken a video just now! I want to see how sad Claire looked after being rejected!”
George laughed. “Haha, she almost cried! Oh my God, it was so funny!”
Jerry quickly asked, “What about Joe? Did he come with her?”
“I don’t know. I didn’t see him,” George snorted coldly. “If that loser dares to step foot here, I’ll fucking break his leg!
Joanne kept on flattering George, “Wow, you’re the best! Joe seems so little and transparent compared to you!”
George laughed triumphantly. “Just wait and see. When I join the board of directors, these people will look up and worship me!”
Jerry asked in surprise, “George, are you going to be one of the directors?”
“Almost,” George said with a smug smile. “It’s under process. If everything goes smoothly, I’ll be promoted in a few months!”
“Wow, that is so great!” Jerry gave him a thumbs up and exclaimed, “George, please don’t forget your buddy when you’re the director!”
George nodded. “Of course! Don’t worry, I’ll look out for you.”
In the middle of the conversation, there was a loud bang, and the door of George’s office was kicked open violently.
