Chapter: 26
Ariana approached the bodyguard with a mix of eagerness and curiosity.
“Excuse me, may I ask who that person in the wheelchair was?" she inquired with a polite tone.
The bodyguard, with a stern look, scrutinized her from head to toe before responding, "That's our CEO, Mr. Fredrick. But I'm afraid he is unavailable to meet anyone at the moment due to an injury."
Not wanting to be misunderstood, Ariana quickly presented the documents in her hand.
“No, I'm not here to see Mr. Fredrick. I have an interview," she explained, flashing her interview notice.
The bodyguard examined the document carefully and shook his head.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, but you're on the wrong floor. The interview is on the 66th floor. This floor is exclusively for the CEO's use."
Ariana was taken aback and perused the interview notice carefully. To her dismay, the document showed that the interview was indeed scheduled on the 66th floor.
Ariana couldn't believe her mistake and felt a flush of embarrassment wash over her face.
She quickly apologized and hurried away from the exclusive floor, kicking herself for mistaking Theodore for the CEO of the BRD Group.
After all, Theodore was the leader of the Anderson Group, and it was foolish of her to assume he had anything to do with the BRD Group.
Thankfully, Ariana arrived at the correct floor just in time for the interview.
The competition for the role of assistant was fierce, and the interviewers’ questions were sharp and demanding. But Ariana remained poised and composed, answering each query with confidence and conviction.
Although some interviewers had reservations about her educational background, the chief interviewer in the center of the panel appeared impressed by her responses, expressing his admiration without any attempt to conceal it.
This impeccably-dressed man, with a countenance that exuded charm, not only oozed handsomeness but was also cordial and friendly toward Ariana.
“Ms. Edwards has left us impressed with her performance in the interview. I believe her undeniable intelligence can make up for her lack of a graduation certificate," the chief interviewer declared, his statement prompting the other interviewers to ease their attitudes toward Ariana.
Grateful for the man's kind words, Ariana gazed at him appreciatively But the chief interviewer's teasing tone made Ariana's cheeks flush with embarrassment as he queried, "I noticed on your resume that you are married, Ms. Edwards. Such a young bride you are, indeed.”
Ariana, sensing the unexpected shift in the chief interviewer's mood, murmured, "Yes."
"You must have found your true love," he commented with a sigh, prompting another inquiry.
"May I ask what your husband does?"
