I’m Someone Else

The beautiful receptionist was about to speak when the woman in a suit came strutting out of her office haughtily with her brother in tow.

“Please give me a moment, Izzy. This man is here to interview for the job as well. Let me get his details first since Miss Pearson has specified that we need to hire the best candidate,” Molly Clark said with a smile.

Molly didn’t like Izzy’s nepotism, especially since Izzy made the decision for her as soon as she came in without even discussing it first. It was a little too domineering.
