Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 141

The company had a rule: every candidate had to be interviewed by their direct supervisor. Still, it was no secret that Theo and Evangeline had a unique connection. On paper, Evangeline was the head of the tech division, but everyone knew Theo had placed a wager on her—if she failed to deliver results within a month, she'd be out the door.

After some thought, the HR manager handed the stack of resumes to Theo. "Everyone's waiting outside for their interviews," he said.

Theo just grunted in acknowledgment and took the resumes into the interview room.

Watching Theo's proud stride, the HR manager couldn't deny his irritation—but what could he do? Theo had been with UME for years, and his technical skills were unmatched. Even Glenn, the company's star, couldn't do much about him.

Fifteen minutes later, Theo emerged from the interview room. He rifled through the stack of resumes and set one down in front of the HR manager.

"This one's good. Hire her."

The HR manager nodded and glanced at the name on the resume: Giselle.

When Giselle got the call from UME offering her the job, she was ecstatic. She hugged her phone and smothered it with kisses. Getting into UME meant she'd finally have a chance to meet Glenn in person.

Her mother, Hazel, stayed much calmer by comparison. "You're a star, honey," Hazel said, smiling. "Top of your class, always in the top three, and now you've landed a technical assistant position. Frankly, you're overqualified."

But UME was only hiring for entry-level roles at the moment. If Hazel hadn't wanted her daughter to get close to Glenn as soon as possible, she'd never have allowed Giselle to settle for this.

Giselle beamed, settling onto the couch next to her mother. "But Mom, you have no idea how tough it is to get into UME's tech division. I had to work really hard to pass that interview."

Hazel pinched her daughter's nose affectionately. "Just remember, sweetheart, your real mission at UME is to win Glenn over. The job itself doesn't matter—don't wear yourself out, okay?"
