Scars Of A Broken Bond

Shirley laughed. “This is not a novel.”

“You’ll know when you get in.”

As her classmate spoke, Shirley walked into the meeting room and glanced at the man sitting in the center without even realizing it.

Shirley was taken aback when she caught sight of him. She quickly turned away, feeling flustered. After composing herself, she politely introduced herself with a quick bow.

Sergio frowned. He recognized Shirley almost immediately. She was the woman who almost got hit by his car while she was picking up her mobile phone on the road.

As other interviewers posed their questions one by one, Shirley skillfully answered them with ease. Her preparation was apparent and her responses were smooth.

Now, it was Sergio’s turn. He looked down at the resume in his hand and asked “What are your thoughts on office relationships?”

Shirley was stunned. “Is office romance allowed in the company?”

“Of course not.” Sergio looked at Shirley and said in a low voice, “I’m just asking your opinion on it.”

“I am willing to follow the company’s guidelines and policies if I am hired. I understand that the company does not permit certain actions, and I will not intentionally violate those rules,” Shirley answered seriously.

Sergio’s gaze lingered on her for a moment before he let out a low chuckle. “Well, if you have no further inquiries, you may leave now.”

Shirley pursed her Lips and wondered why he was laughing.

She exited the meeting room with a sense of unease. Her classmate was standing outside, eagerly waiting for her. “How did it go?”

“I don’t know. I’m not sure,” Shirley confided.

“The interviewer in the middle is indeed handsome, isn’t he?” the classmate murmured, a mischievous twinkle in her eyes. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“You are not sensible enough.”

The classmate chuckled and said, “Actually, he looks kind of familiar.

I think he’s the attractive guy who almost hit you the other day.”

“Really? I didn’t notice.”

The pair exited the Blakely Group’s building, deep in conversation.

Her classmate asked casually, “Shirley, why did you change your style recently? You are always wearing loose clothes these days.”

Shirley was stunned. She smiled and said, “I’ve gained weight recently, so I have to hide it.”

“Even if you gain weight, you still look slim.”

It was precisely because Shirley was slim and constantly on a diet that made it difficult for people to notice that she was pregnant.
