hapter 145: You Must Attend the Engagement Banquet

Elissa and I thought about it for a while but couldn't fi

figure out who would do such a good deed.

"Forget it, let's not think about it. Business is business, and having orders is a good thing"

Elissa was more optimistic and stretched lazily while talking, "Someone's coming for an Interview soon. Get ready. Want to join me for the interview?" I agreed.

There were too many things to handle with the new company opening, and with just Elissa and me, even working around the clock wasn't enough. Hiring was an urgent matter,

aring the interviews, Elissa was in charge of asking questions, and 1 was just there to observe and then make decisions with her afterward.

The first few candidates seemed fine to me, but I couldn't pinpoint exactly what was good about them.

Then, a girl walked in, bowed slightly, sat down obediently, and introduced herself, "Hello, my name is Avery Hammer."

Looking at Avery Hammer's innocent demeanor, I felt she looked Damiliar.

When Avery spoke, she occasionally glanced at me with her bright, wet eyes.

Elissa found it amusing and asked Avery. "Do you knoir our Ms. Royston, or do you just think she's too pretty?"

"Ms. Royston..."

Avery smiled shyly and cautiously asked, "Have you been to Eason's concert!

As soon as Avery asked, I instantly remembered!

I smiled pleasantly, "So it's you!"

The girl who waited with me for Christopher at the concert entrance, Avery.

Avery stood up quickly, her eyes curved into crescents, nodding frantically, "Yes, it's me, sister!"

Elissa raised an eyebrow curiously, "Where did you replace such a good little sister?"

Before I could explain, Avery happily started talking to Elissa, "It was at Eason's concert last time. I didn't have a ticket, and sister and her friend gave me their extra ticket!" "That sounds like something she would do."

Elissa commented, interrupting Avery before she could continue, "I see on your resume that you're applying for the assistant to the design director?"

Currently, my main focus was still on design, and I needed an assistant who understood design, so the job posting was for the assistant to the design

director

"Yes!"

Avery had the unique clarity and naivety of a college student, which was quite endearing. "I'm a fashion design major at Jacquar University, and I'm just starting my internship this year. I had some delays over the past few months, so I'm starting now"

I decided on the spot, "You're hired."

Avery had a good vibe, and at the concert last time, she showed kindness to a stranger like me, which suggested she was a good person.

After what happened with Connie, I felt that character was more important than professional skills.

"Really?"

Avery had just sat down, and upon hearing this, she stood up excitedly again, almost knocking over her chair.

Elissa and I couldn't help but laugh.

Elissa also liked Avery and smiled,

"Sister

gave me a ticket, and I think she's a good person..."

Avery said without any hesitation, "Also, my brother suggested I come to your company...

As Avery spoke, she suddenly covered her mouth.

I frowned, "Your brother?"

"Yes!""

Avery smiled at me obediently, afraid I wouldn't want her anymore, and quickly added, "My brother saw your job posting and thought your company was great."

I nodded without thinking too much, "The company officially opens next Monday, You can start t

After arranging things with Avery, Elissa and I finished the interviews and finalized a few more candidates. The rest could be hired gradually

In the afternoon, while I was focused on designing new spring styles, I heard arguing outside

One voice was very familiar to me, and the other wasn't exactly unfamiliar either.

you! Designing

I had just opened the door and hadn't stepped out yet when I heard Elissa say, "Don't you understand? I said we wont do business with yo clothes for you would dirty Hope's hands!" Kimberly sneered arrogantly, "Well, I'm telling you, you will do it whether you want to or not."

Only Kimberly could be so overbearing.

"I won't do it. What are you going to do about it?

Flissa wasn't afraid of Kimberly and shrugged, "Maybe you should call the police. Oh right, you'd need the animal control unit to catch you. Don't call the cups, though; it would be a waste of police resources."

Elissa never

never last when it came to insults,

Kimberly was furious, gritting her teeth. "Are you sure

e you won't do it? Fine, then I'll make sure your company closes on its opening da

"Til do it"

g day....

I stepped out

Kimberly was forcing me to make this engagement dress to make me give up

up on Christopher and humiliate me.

But I had already moved on.

In the countless moments of disappointment and breakdown, I had once thought Christopher was the light in my darkness.

But now I knew he wasn't

Now, as long as Kimberly was willing to pay, why should I refuse money?

Moreover, as Kimberly said, if she wanted to oppose me, Elevatejoy would struggle to survive.

The RF Group likely wouldn't offend such a deeply rooted family for a small company like ours.

Kimberly, dressed in the latest limited edition, smirked at me, "You know how to adapt. Your good friend here doesn't have your flexibility!"

I smiled slightly. "She just never learned animal language, so she's not good at dealing with people like you."

It took Kimberly a moment to realize I was calling her a dog, following up on Elissa's earlier comment.

Kimberly closed her eyes briefly and let out a mocking laugh, "People like you, who will serve me your whole life, can only replace joy in your words!"

1 clenched my fist.

I had to admit, life not only requires being born into the right family but also meeting the right people.

Kimberly may have been born into a lesser family, but she encountered the Harris family, a family that others couldn't match even after generations. That was Kimberly's ability too.

I didn't take Kimberly into the office but sat down in the common area, "Tell me, what style of dress do you w

"I'm telling you, my requirements are not easy to meet. Also, on the day of my engagement with Christopher, you must be present to ensure my dress is perfect..."

As Kimberly was speaking, she received a call and answered it with a grievance, "Mother, you're downstairs. I'm already at their lousy company. You have no idea how sharp-tongued Hope Royston is; she and her friend both insulted me!'

Elissa and I rolled our eyes simultaneously.

Ellissa gritted her teeth, "Why y did you take this order?"

"To make sure our hard work doesn't go to waste and to keep Elevatejoy alive."

I shrugged resignedly, "It's okay. Once she gets engaged, she should leave
