“What did she say to you?”
The voice sounded so cold that it sent shivers down Susan's spine when she heard it.
She looked up at the person in response and went pale upon seeing who it was. “Ian? H-Has your class ended already? She didn't say anything in particular. Let's head back now that your class is over.”
Not wanting to worsen the situation, Susan tried to get out of there as quickly as possible.
However, Ian wasn't about to just let it slide like that. The look in his eyes grew cold when he saw that she refused to tell him the truth, and he walked off immediately after.
“Ian? Where are you going? Come back here!”
Susan was so frightened that she quickly ran after him and grabbed him by the arm. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“Let go of me!”
“I won't let go! It's fine, Ian! Don't go after her! She doesn't like me, to begin with, so it's normal for her to say some mean things once in a while! Please don't blow this out of proportion!” she pleaded while holding on to his arm as tightly as she could.
Ian paused and decided to not chase after Yasmin in the end. However, he still sent out a text upon heading out the front gate.
A few minutes later, Hayes Corporation's hiring manager came running out of the Human Resources Department.
“Who's in charge of recruitment for the internship program this year?”
“I am, Sir,” replied an elderly staff.
The hiring manager waved at the staff as he said, “Is there an applicant named Yasmin Snow from University of Pollerton? I want her name deleted from the system right away! Also, arrange for Susan Jadeson to be an intern in the Finance Department!”
“Yes, Sir!” the elderly staff replied and deleted Yasmin's name from the list immediately.
Being a huge company, it was only natural for Hayes Corporation to contribute to society. As such, the company would hire a bunch of interns during summer vacation every year. On top of that, it was also a way for the company to discover more talents among the youth and possibly recruit them into the company in the future.
Yasmin's application went through a bunch of screening tests before finally being approved, so it was truly a shame that she got disqualified like that.
The atmosphere in the apartment was as peaceful as usual that night.
“Ian, Timothy, I made us some soup! Come help yourselves in the kitchen!” Susan called out to them as she tidied up the kitchen counter and took her apron off.
“Aren't you going to have some too, Susan?” Timothy asked when he saw her leaving the kitchen.
“You two go on ahead. I still have some revision to do,” Susan replied before hurrying off to her bedroom.
Ian saw Timothy helping himself to the soup when he entered the kitchen.
“Ah, there you are! Here, have some soup!” Timothy said while pointing at the bowl of soup prepared for him.
“Where's your sister?” Ian asked while sitting down at the table.
“She's doing some revision. She missed out on quite a lot in the past two days, and she has a test coming up in a few days.”
Huh? Another test?
Ian stared blankly at him in confusion.
“Haven't you heard? She failed her exam the last time, so she did some digging and found out that there was an issue with the test questions. The university is letting her sit for the exam again,” Timothy explained when he saw Ian's clueless expression.
Little did he know, Ian was actually oblivious to the fact that Susan botched her exam.
“Actually, there is no need for her to take the exam,” Ian replied calmly.
“Huh? What do you mean? Are you saying that you can get her a position in your family's company?” Timothy looked up at him in surprise upon hearing that.
“Yes, that's right,” Ian mumbled as he carried on sipping on his soup.
Despite his best efforts to maintain a calm expression, Timothy's penetrating gaze caused him to feel awkward and unnatural.
Timothy was so touched that he gave Ian a few pats on the shoulder as he exclaimed, “Tsk, tsk, tsk... You sure are a considerate nephew, aren't you? It's too bad my sister probably wouldn't agree with your arrangement!”
Ian looked up at him immediately. “Why? Why won't she agree with it?”
“You may not know this, but she doesn't like relying on connections to get what she wants. Instead, she prefers to fight for what she wants and earn it all by herself. Honestly, you have no idea how annoying
that can get! She's always scored first in school every year!” Timothy got a little annoyed upon mentioning that.
Because of how excellent Susan was, their parents have always doubted his capabilities since he was a kid. The difference between him and Susan was so huge that they often joked about him being adopted.
Although Ian knew she wouldn't accept his kind offer, he didn't get mad at her because of it.q
