Jay felt like he just heard a tremendous joke, his cold and handsome face freezing on the spot.
'Rose, a top student at First Academy?
'She should take a good look at herself in the mirror before spewing such nonsense. Each and every student from First Academy is an outstanding person.
'How could she lie to Jenson like that?' 1
"Jenson," Jay spoke in a level voice, "even if she's a First Academy graduate, her professional knowledge and proficiency cannot meet the requirements to become a Grand Asia employee. Daddy can't admit her exceptionally because it’ll be unfair to other candidates."
Jay was appalled by Rose’s shameless lies, but he still felt reluctant to outright defame Rose in front of" Jenson".
It was his way of protecting his son-he did not want t o be the one to shatter the beautiful image of Mommy i n his heart.
Baby Robbie was very confident in Mommy's ability. H e persevered and begged Jay, "Daddy, believe me. Rose is really good. Please let her work at your company? Pretty please?"
Jay was befuddled. "Jenson" had never begged him
for anything. It was such a rare event, and there was s o much sincerity in his plea, that Jay could not bring himself to reject his son's fragile heart.
He thought for a while before he finally conceded. " Alright. Daddy will give her a call tomorrow and invite her to apply for the company, how does that sound?"
Baby Robbie cheered happily, "Woohoo!"
Jay murmured to himself thoughtfully, 'Even if I smacked the job advertisement right on top of her face, would she be bold enough to apply?’
To prevent "Jenson" from being disappointed, Jay deliberately lowered his expectation first.
"Jenson, Daddy can only give her the chance to apply for Grand Asia. Whether or not she can land a spot Grand Asia will all depend on her performance. If she does not pass the stages, don't be too disappointed. Daddy can make an arrangement for her to work in m y friend's company, okay?"
