Rose nodded. "Yes, it was me." She offered him a charming and rather pompous smile. 1
"Very well." Jay's lips curled into a smile as well, although the emotion it contained was hard to determine. "Come with me."
As Rose left with the president, she could hear the interviewers mutter solemn prayers for her, "Miss, you better start praying for yourself!"
Rose could not help but feel a tinge of regret. Although she could argue that he personally said that she could hack anyone's computer within the headquarters, there was no guarantee that he would not give her trouble for it!
Jay brought Rose to his private office. He sat down on the luxurious black leather sofa and examined the woman in front of him with his hawk-like eyes, observing sharply from above.
Rose's makeup was natural, refined, fresh, and professional. It was also a little elegant and that caught Jay off guard for the slightest of moments.
'I didn't expect the woman from the boonies to clean u p so well... If I must say, she looks quite pleasing,' he thought.
Rose looked at Jay tentatively, not having a single clue as to what was going to happen to her.
She thought that she should at least take the initiative. "Sir Ares, I was told that I could hack into any computer in the headquarters. I had no idea that you were in a meeting. I've done nothing wrong. You can't fault me for merely following orders." 1
Jay straightened his back. He was a highly principled person who valued commitment. Although he was not happy with the result, Rose's ability gave him no reason to reject her.
Jay held out the various position tags toward Rose. " You can have any of these positions. Make your choice." 1
Rose felt as if she had won five million dollars in a lottery. She was so stunned that she forgot how to reach her hand out.
After holding up the tags for quite some time, Jay unceremoniously tossed the tags on the table. He really had no patience when he had to deal with her.
Finally returning to her senses, Rose hastily picked up a position tag to take a better look. When she saw that the position offered was that of the president's assistant, she glanced at the man opposite her with a pang of guilt in her heart.
Jenson's helpless and pitiful face swam into her mind. 'If I become his assistant, I’ll have more chances to see Jenson.’
