I’m Someone Else

Chapter 13

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.

“Why should I need to wait, Molly? Don’t tell me you plan on hiring a guy like him. Aren’t you worried that Miss Pearson might faint from the stench he’s giving off?”

“Sorry about this, but the role of Miss Pearson’s personal driver has already been filled. You don’t fit the requirements, since as the president’s driver, you’ll be following her around on business. In other words, the role requires someone who can represent the company, and your appearance will only degrade the company’s image.”

Izzy Lynch didn’t even bother to look at Thomas. She decided on Molly’s behalf right away.

Molly couldn’t help but study Thomas.

Izzy had a point. Not only was Thomas wearing cheap clothing, but his face was covered in stubble, and after sniffing the air with a slight frown, Izzy did detect an unsavory smell. His physical state didn’t fit the bill for the role of the president’s driver.

But it didn’t seem polite to be rejecting him just based on that, right? What if he was just in a rush and didn’t have time to clean up a bit?

“Izzy, we should still follow the company’s policies. Since he’s here, we can’t reject him without even giving him a proper interview, right?”

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.
