Lucas remembered that HR was holding an interview. He assumed that this was the resume of someone who had failed to pass.
Just as he was about to toss the resume in the bin, he was suddenly stopped in his tracks.
“Hold on.”
Upon hearing the familiar name on the resume, Joseph furrowed his brows and reached out to
take it from Lucas.
At the top floor of the building, the HR manager nervously handed over a stack of interviewee information forms to the CEO’s assistant. Lucas took them and pushed open the door to the office. The HR manager strained to get a look but did not manage to see anything and left disappointed.
“Find out more about this person named Chloe Johnson,” Joseph ordered emotionlessly.
“Right away, sir,” Lucas replied, and within ten minutes, he had found Chloe’s information. ” Mr. Joseph, here’s her information. She was rejected in the first round.”
“Given her qualifications, that shouldn’t have happened,” Joseph said as he laid the previously crumpled resume flat on his desk.
“She has level C2 proficiency in Estrenian. It’s impossible for her to fail the written test!”
Lucas exclaimed.
Those who passed the C2 examination were generally over thirty years old, but Chloe looked no more than twenty–four. This young talent was exactly what Fairlight needed right now.
Joseph tapped his fingers rhythmically on the desk, sinking deep into his thoughts. He found himself pondering if such a coincidence could actually occur in this world.
There were individuals who might never cross paths their entire lives. Yet, in just four short days, he had met Chloe, married her, and now she was attending a job interview at his company.
‘Does she really not have any ulterior motives?‘
Lucas had been observing Joseph closely, but could not quite figure out his boss’s thoughts. He carefully suggested, “Mr. Johnson, should we investigate this further?”
“Yes,” Joseph interlaced his fingers and placed them on his chest, pausing for a moment before saying, “Also find out why she didn’t pass the written test.”
At four in the afternoon, Lucas had completed both tasks.
“There’s nothing wrong with Ms. Chloe’s background. She’s the daughter of a small company owner in Aesper. However, her deceased mother’s background is a bit strange. I can’t find anything about her prior to her marriage.” Lucas hesitated before continuing, “As for why she didn’t pass the written test today, it’s a bit complicated…”
Joseph looked up and said, “Go on.”
Lucas recounted the conflict that had occurred between Chloe and William earlier in the afternoon, as well as the fact that Melody was William’s niece.

“Taking advantage of his power, William brought in five of his relatives into headquarters and arranged for them relatively easy positions. This time, there was only one vacancy for the Estrenian translator
position. After disqualifying Ms. Chloe, Wiliam informed the remaining qualified candidates in the same way that they didn’t pass the interview. In the end, only Melody made it through, and HR has already confirmed that she’ll be starting work at Fairlight starting tomorrow.”
Lucas explained the situation while observing Joseph’s reaction.
Fairlight’s headquarters had been overseas for the past few years, with only one branch located in Aesper. After Joseph took over the Aesper branch, he focused on projects within the country. Last month, the branch merged with headquarters.
William was one of the old employees of the Aesper branch.
“Tell him to pack his things and get out,” Joseph ordered coldly as he stood up.
“What about his relatives?” Lucas asked.
“Fire them all as well.” Joseph walked to the floor–to–ceiling window that overlooked the bustling traffic below, his eyes radiating a dark light.
“Notify HR that all interviewees who did not pass today will be given another chance.”
Lucas complied but he could not help but wonder. Joseph had always been impartial but had now broken the rules for this woman named Chloe. What was their relationship?
