Elaine gingerly got to her feet, her fear showing on her face.She hadn’t expected to cause such a commotion, all because she had rejected an applicant.

Who was this woman, anyway? As far as anyone could tell, Natalie was clearly a nobody.

More than a dozen heads turned to Elaine, waiting for her response.

“I—I,” she stammered.

“I heard it from the others.When she was in university, she had sex with a-no, with several male students, and… In any case, they said that she is not innocent and sweet as it appears.She-“.

“Think carefully before you speak,”

Garrett interrupted, his tone sharp.

“Who did you hear it from? Give us the names of your informants, of the people involved, as well as the time and place of these incidents prove these claims.We must clear this matter up once and for all.I don’t want to find out later on that you were judging potential candidates for the company based on hearsay.

It’s easy enough to investigate whether you are telling the truth or not.You will have to take responsibility for every word you say today.I don’t think I have to remind you, Elaine, that there’s a fine line between gossip and slander.It can easily turn into a legal matter entirely.

In addition to that, you failed your duties as an interviewer by treating Miss Quinn with bias.You know very well that it’s against the company’s rules to let the newly-graduated applicants take the advanced examination meant for professional designers with years of experiences.”

Elaine froze.She gritted her teeth and glared at the two other interviewers.

It seemed that Garrett had already investigated this matter thoroughly, and he was dead serious about the consequences.

There was no way she could save herself with a few measly lies.

But the Larson Group discarded dozens, if not hundreds, of hopeful applicants every day.

She really couldn’t see what was so special about Natalie.

Why would a powerful man like Garrett go out of his way to personally handle something so trivial? At this point, Elaine decided to face the situation head-on.
