The man he had met in the elevator occupied a table bearing the name Delwyn Efrain as director of creative.
Gleg!
Kaili was shocked. Her body trembled. If possible, she wanted to find a hole to hide in. What did she say earlier? Why didn't she remember at all! Stupid! Kaili felt so stupid. How could she talk presumptuously to the interviewer! Not only that, even Kaili considered him the same as her, a job applicant!
Among the 4 interviewers, Delwyn Efrain was the only person who was not dressed formally. Instead of wearing a suit, he wore casual blue jeans that were slightly torn on both knees. His appearance, which did not reflect a typical employee, made Kaili think this man possibly had a high position in this company. That was why he didn't obey the rules.
Kaili lifted her eyes and just realized that the man was staring with a smile at her. It was as if the aura of arrogance that he had earlier had been left in the elevator.
Seeing him smile meaningfully, Kaili who was already nervous became even tenser.
One of the interviewers started asking questions and followed by the other interviewers. They gave a quite difficult question for the prospective employee. Everything was going well, except for Kaili. She answered with no enthusiasm. She didn't care whether the answer was right or wrong, good or bad. She felt like she had lost the opportunity. The memory of her presumptuous attitude made her feel sick.
What a fool. She even thought of the marketing director as someone who came for an interview, just like herself. Delwyn must have thought that Kaili's ability to recognize people was very bad!
After a while, all interviews had been completed. They immediately announced who was hired. Kaili had given up hope. She didn't dare to think about this job anymore. Unexpectedly, among the names announced, there was her name.
Kaili raised her face in surprise. She didn't dare to believe her ears. Was she accepted? It couldn't be ... She didn't say anything, but waiting for the next words.
"Congratulations to the prospective employees. You have given your best by answering the questions very well. Welcome and congratulations on joining our company. You can start working tomorrow. Come at 8 to report. There will be people taking care of you to a certain department. Do not be late!" said one of the interviewers earlier.
Kaili looked around. There were only 3 people out of 8 interviewees. It meant she was really the one who was accepted, right? But this was quite confusing. Kaili felt that she didn't answer the question properly. Even her enthusiasm had worn off. For interviewers, usually, would be able to read the gesture of every facial expression. Those who were nervous and did not look excited would definitely be kicked out. Then ... why was she?
Kaili bit her lip. When the interviewer allowed them to ask, Kaili ventured to say, "What is the most important point for being accepted to work here? Is it enough to only be able to answer questions well?"
After saying this, all eyes were on her. Kaili felt really stupid. Why should she say that? She was already accepted. Wasn't it a good thing? Then what else did she want? Kaili couldn't stop thinking about it.
Delwyn Efrain smiled widely till his fangs showed, "Why? Do you feel that during the interview, you made a mistake?"
The man's gaze was very calm. It did not look like he was holding anything out of the ordinary in his heart.
"... ..." Kaili was silent, did not dare to say. How could she possibly answer? She was a little nervous and unexcited because she had mistakenly assumed a marketing director as a job applicant, like herself.
"Miss Goh, is that right?"
Kaili saw him while nodding her head. "So, this is what applying for a job felt like ... Hufh," she said to herself.
"Are you doubting the way we accept employees? Is it very bad in your opinion?" He added a question that made Kaili even clumsier. This moment ... she wouldn't forget it!
"Eh, how could it be!" Kaili was caught up in a problem she created herself. She really was a fool!
"I need to clarify. We are very perfectionists in choosing employees who will join our company. Even though this is a small company, the employees we recruit don't come from small people nor have the qualifications. I have read your resume, someone who has the title Summa Cumlaude from N university. Even though you don't have any work experience, since you are alumni of the best university in this country, coupled with your graduation predicate, I personally recommend accepting you. I want to see, how someone as the best graduate, satisfies our company with their performance, and ..."
He glared at Kaili. His eyes were slightly folded, very small. His face was white and clean like a woman who did regular facial care.
But no matter what the appearance of this man in front of her, Kaili didn't care about it. She already had Dexter. It was enough for her. Handsome and beauty were relative, only a judging eye. Everyone had different meanings of beautiful and handsome. And for Kaili, Dexter was the most handsome in her heart and eyes. No debate! That was an absolute result!
Kaili was still waiting for the continuation of the man's words with a tense heart. Would this be the beginning of revenge like the fictional stories? Where a man would take revenge on the female lead for making her felt bad, like ... she did.
'But ... ah, no, no, no way! Am I as beautiful as a woman in a fictional story and am I worthy of being the main character?' thought Kaili.
After all, even if she was the female lead, Dexter would be the male lead. Kaili was only willing, in this life on earth or eternity, Dexter would be her man. If not Dexter, she would balk!
