Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 730

"Nothing," Elizabeth said quickly. She seemed to want to say something more, but she was interrupted by Dalores.

Dalores came over to Janet's side and said cheerily, "Hey, Janet, let me sit next to you, okay?" Janet smiled awkwardly, knowing that there was no polite way to refuse her.

Dalores plopped down next to her and struck up a conversation. "I've seen your works before. You're so talented. I'm sure you can become an independent designer in due time. Your family will support you for sure. I know the White family also has a lot of connections in the fashion industry. With your talent and your family's support, I'm sure you have a bright future ahead of you."

Janet forced a smile, not sure as to how she should react to Dalores's flattery. "Thank you so much. I still need to work harder though."

Giggling, Dalores slapped Janet on the shoulder lightheartedly. "No need to be so modest, Janet!"

Janet's eyes landed on Dalores's hand, which was on her shoulder. She couldn't help but feel that the woman was acting overly familiar with her. They had only known each other for two days, yet Dalores acted as though she had known her for years.

She coughed and asked politely, "Was there something you wanted to say to me? If not, I need to get back to work now."

Dalores grinned and asked, "How about we go get some coffee? I just took a nap, so I still feel a little groggy."

Janet didn't find anything wrong with this, so she followed Dalores to the tea room.

When the two were alone in the tea room, Dalores suddenly looked at Janet seriously. "Janet, you've been working here for a while now, right?"

Janet was focused on making coffee and didn't even look up at her. "Yes, it's been almost a year. Why? What's up?"

"Mr. Wesley told me that we're in charge of interviewing the applicants. I have a friend who's dying to work here. We graduated from the same design school. I can't really say no to him."

It quickly dawned on Janet that Dalores was trying to get her friend in through the back door.

She tilted her head to the side and thought for a moment. "Well, since he's your friend, then there shouldn't be a problem with his professional skills. But there are so many applicants this afternoon. Let's wait and see. If he's excellent enough, he'll stand out from the crowd."

Dalores's smile stiffened. Jesus Christ! Why didn't Janet understand?!

"I mean, we don't need to see the other applicants if we just choose him," she said slowly, winking at Janet with a flattering smile.
