..“Hey, you. Aren’t you going to take your leave as well or are you just delaying the inevitable?” Mateo sneered at Landon.However, Landon just smiled back. “And why should I take my leave? I think you should be the one to do that.”“Oh?” Mateo spoke out with pride. “I’m sure you can hear the conversation from everyone. They all know I’m the male going to be chosen! Then she might be the female to get chosen.” He suddenly pointed at Aurora.“And, as for you, you have no place here. So you can as well take your leave.” Mateo’s was one of confidence.Everyone could tell Mateo was certain of what he was saying.“Don’t be so quick to count your luck,” Landon replied unfazed by his words. “You may very well be among the people that will go home with a sad face. The way you speak makes me want to see how embarrassing it would be if you don’t get chosen.”Mateo suddenly laughed like he had just heard a funny joke. “And why would I not get chosen? Look around. Is there any candidate in thi

..The familiar person in the interview room who had called out to Landon was a female of course.“Clarissa?” Landon replied, recognizing her.Everyone in the interview was piqued with curiosity when they noticed Clarissa and the new intern seemed to know each other.A guy dressed corporately suddenly asked. “Clarissa, do you two know each other?”A sneer suddenly appeared on Clarissa’s face as her gaze was still on Landon. “Yes Mark, I do. I just didn’t expect to see him here. He is my high school buddy.”“Oh wow,” Mike suddenly frowned. “You are not close to him are you?”Clarissa waved her hand casually and replied. “Hell no. I’m just shocked to see him here.”Before Mark could say another word she looked at Landon and questioned. “What are you doing here?”“I’m just here to do my internship,” Landon replied.Clarissa was indeed one of his old-time classmates. She was one of the people who were absent in their last high school reunion so Landon has not met her in so many years now

. . “What?” Mark was shocked when he heard Mr. Davis's harsh remark. “You heard me right. You and your sub-department should find a way to get that deal or you all are fired so for you all sakes I hope you get the deal.” Mr. Davis replied and then walked away as if the matter was not up for debate. Meanwhile, all the people in the office space were left terrified. “Sir Mark, are we really going to lose our job?” “Mr. Davis is just joking right?” “Sir Mark, Mr Davis can’t be serious right?” Mary and the rest of the fellow workers all started questioning Mark out of fright. However, Mark was just as terrified as them. “You all shut up let me think!” Mark did not know when he screamed due to frustration. The shock of the sudden order from Mr. Davis had really gotten him on edge. The reason why Mark was so frightened by Mr. Davis's threat was because he knew very well that Mr. Davis was not joking. When he was still new in the company he witnessed Mr. Davis fire a full sub-depa

. . “Oh, is that tears I’m seeing on your face?” Ashley asked as she folded her arms with a smile of disdain on her face. Landon was trying his best to not laugh at this moment. He could not believe his eyes. Mark was crying. Does he value his job so much? Landon laughed inwardly. Mark was an impulsive fellow. Only he just ruined his chances of keeping his job in check. “I’m truly sorry Madam Ashley. I was very stupid for my actions!” Mark begged. “Please reconsider your decision.” He was unwilling to lose his job. Mr. Davis had plainly stated that if he did not secure this deal he would lose his job. He had come to secure this deal with a heavy heart, but he never expected he would end up arguing with his savior. Ashley was chatting with Landon casually. This was what made him assume she was just a regular person. This was why he acted the way he acted. How was he supposed to know that Landon would be acquainted with an important person? “I am not a bitch again right?” Ashley as

..“How about I invite you to my place tomorrow?” Ashley asked with a smile.Landon smiled back at her and replied, “I would love to, but I can’t say yes for sure since I’ll be working tomorrow.”“Work? You think your boss will keep you from coming?” Ashley smirked, causing Landon to nod in agreement.“Then it’s settled. I’ll see you at my place tomorrow,” Ashley stated firmly.She then turned to Mark and said sternly, “Landon better be available tomorrow, whether he’s working or not. Am I clear?”Mark nodded, feeling very dissatisfied with the situation but knowing he had no choice. He understood the consequences of not doing as Ashley said. Since he couldn’t afford to lose his job, he had to agree to her terms for now.“Good,” Ashley said, and then she looked at Landon. “The problem has been sorted out now. We’ll meet at noon.”Landon smiled and replied, “No problem.”Landon and Ashley engaged in casual conversation for an hour, while Mark was told to sit alone elsewhere during tha
