Sharon didn't have time to go home and got changed. She rushed to the Jones Group and went to the front desk, gave her name, and said she was here for an interview. The secretary at the front desk politely showed her the way, but she was looking at Sharon in a rather strange way.
Sharon was so happy that she couldn't be bothered about her gaze. When she arrived at the human resource department and saw the other interviewees in their suits and dresses, she realized why the secretary stared at her that way.
She wore a T- shirt, shorts, and a pair of sneakers. She didn't look like an interviewee, but more like a deliveryman!
Her excitement slowly fell rock bottom. Needless to think, she would definitely be the first one to be eliminated.
She was in a bad mood at once.
The other interviewees also looked at her with disdain.
Sharon could only sigh.
Ten minutes later, she saw Troy who called her earlier. The manager looked at her from head to toe several times. Even when Sharon was embarrassed, Troy had not taken his eyes off her.
"Ahem."
Sharon cleared her throat and explained in a low voice, "Uh, I was in a hurry, so I didn't manage to spruce up my attire."
"It's okay, Miss Cruz. Please have a seat."
Troy waved his hand and muttered in his heart, "What's the relationship between this woman and the president? The president himself ordered me to make an exception and hire her."
In the morning, Troy was summoned to the president's office and was asked if he had received a job application from a junior year student by the name of Sharon Cruz. Troy checked on his computer and indeed, he found her application.
After that, the president did not say anything more than a simple order, "Hire her, but don't let her know that it's me who offers her the job."
Troy looked at the woman in front of him but found nothing remarkable about her. She was not even close in comparison to the other interviewees. He wondered what kind of relationship did she have with the president.
"Miss Cruz, are you from Big Valley University?"
Troy began the interview by asking a few simple questions. After that, Troy said with a smile, "Congratulations, Miss Cruz. You're officially hired and you will start your first day at the Jones Group tomorrow."
Sharon couldn't believe it. "1-1 made it?"
Troy smiled and nodded. "Yes."
