The minute Sheila heard this, she immediately jumped in, "Mr. Fang, she's looking for a job, right? Why doesn't she come work with me? I really need an assistant right now!"
Manager Fang seemed a bit troubled, "Well..."
After all, Ellinor was brought in by Collin. It seemed inappropriate to have her serve as a personal assistant.
"Sheila, I appreciate your thought. But it might not work because Ms. Mendoza is..."
"How much is the monthly salary for an assistant?" Ellinor cut off Manager Fang's words and asked.
Manager Fang was clearly surprised by Ellinor's question. He found this girl's behavior quite odd.
She was not interested in becoming an artist but was somewhat interested in becoming an artist's assistant?
Sheila glanced at Ellinor smugly, "As my assistant, the monthly salary is three to four thousand! Don't worry, I won't shortchange you!"
Hearing this price, Ellinor lost interest; she leaned back in her chair and said, "The pay is too low; I'm not doing it!"
She had seen through Sheila's concerns.
Sheila frowned, "You think three to four thousand is low? How much do you want then?"
Ellinor yawned, casually raising a finger, "Ten thousand!"
Sheila acted like she had heard a joke. She rolled her eyes and scoffed, "Ten thousand? You want a ten thousand salary for being an assistant. In your dreams!"
Ellinor ignored her, turned to Manager Fang, and asked, "Manager Fang, did you say I could sign up to become an artist earlier? I'm guessing an artist's salary should be pretty high, right?"
Manager Fang, seeing her interest in becoming an artist, immediately smiled, "Of course! You'll not only earn a salary but also a high percentage of the income."
Ellinor looked excited, "That sounds great, then I'll..."
Seeing this, Sheila started to get anxious, "Alright, ten thousand a month, come be my assistant!"
Ellinor looked at Sheila, smiling, "Can I get an advance on my first month's salary?"
