The Wrong Woman

Imogen was sitting in the corner of a convenience store. She suddenly received a phone call while eating a cheap fast food meal.

The person on the other end said, "Hello, Ms. Kingsley. I'm the HR manager from Star Enterprise. Our aerospace R&D department would like to offer you a position. Would you…"

Before the caller could finish, Imogen hung up. She put down her phone and muttered to herself, "Are scammers so clueless nowadays? They don't even do a background check before trying to scam people?"

She continued eating.

The phone rang again.

Imogen sighed deeply. She picked up the call and put the phone to her ear. She said impatiently, "Star Enterprise, right?"

"Yes, Ms. Kingsley. Why did you hang up? I wasn't finished speaking."

"If you're going to scam people, at least be believable. I never applied for a position in Star Enterprise. Also, with my qualifications, I wouldn't even be qualified. You're telling me the aerospace R&D department wants to hire me? Even a fool wouldn't buy that."

The HR manager also found it ridiculous, but the information on the document was indeed written like that.

Although Imogen didn't believe it, they still had to follow the order.

"Ms. Kingsley, if you think I'm a scammer, you can come to our headquarters for an interview. Star Enterprise is a well-known company and it's not something you can fake."

Imogen was so stunned that her fork slipped from her hands. She sat there in disbelief for several seconds.

She cleared her throat before asking, "Are you really the HR manager of Star Enterprise?"

"Yes."

"The aerospace R&D department wants to hire me?"

"Yes."

Imogen was dumbfounded!Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

It felt like she had been struck by an unexpected bolt of luck. The surprise that she got seemed unreal, and it was unbelievable.

Her mind went blank as it didn't feel real.

Although Star Enterprise was a private enterprise, it had developed rapidly in recent years and was a rising star in the internet industry. Its aerospace division was especially impressive.

The company had recruited talents that even the National Space Agency had lost.

Just a couple of years ago, Star Enterprise had successfully built an unmanned transport spaceship that the space agency had struggled with, and the government eventually requisitioned it. 

This showed how impressive the aerospace R&D department was.

"When are you available?" the HR manager asked.

Imogen gulped. After sitting up straight, she replied earnestly, "I'm available anytime."

"Is 9:00 am tomorrow okay?"

"Yes, that works."

"Alright, Mr. Kingsley. See you tomorrow at 9:00 am at the HR department of Star Enterprise."

"Sure, I'll be there on time."

After hanging up, Imogen put down her phone and pinched her cheek hard.

The pain made her yelp. As she rubbed her sore cheek, she muttered to herself, "Oh my god, I'm not dreaming, am I?" 

She covered her face as she contemplated.

Why? Why would Star Enterprise reach out to her?

A nobody with no qualifications, no connections, and no achievements. The world must be crazy.

Imogen carried her bag and quickly walked out of the convenience store. She was both excited and overwhelmed.

As she walked into the subway, her phone suddenly rang.

She took out the phone and glanced at the caller ID. When she saw it was Ethan, she was stunned for a few seconds.

In the past, she felt happy and excited every time when Ethan gave her a call. But now, all she felt was indifference or perhaps a bit annoyed. 

It seemed she had truly moved on from him.
