Benjamin then followed Suzzy to the upper floor until they reached a place with a door. "That's the meeting room, Master," she said.Benjamin nodded and said, "Okay, open it then."Suzzy nodded and opened the meeting room.Inside, a desk with six chairs was arranged, and four men and two women, all around the age of 50 to 60, occupied them, leaving one chair empty. At the high desk was a chair that looked distinguished from the rest.Benjamin also noticed his mom seated in an office chair with Ezra beside her, seemingly there to observe rather than actively participate in the meeting.The five people inside the room stood up together when they saw Suzzy and said, "Welcome, Manager Williams."Suzzy nodded for them to sit, which they did. She then walked towards Benjamin and said, "Master, that's your seat," pointing at the highest chair.The five individuals in the room exchanged glances, their initial shock evident in the raised eyebrows and slightly agape mouths. A subtle murmur of s
Evelyn nodded and looked at Ezra, saying, "Let's go out."Ezra nodded, and they walked out together. After they left, Benjamin turned to Suzzy and inquired, "So, about my friends, what plan do you have now?"Suzzy thought for a moment and replied, "Master, I'll send a message to the interview team to contact them. They'll be interviewed again, and this time, they'll be picked.”"Good, please do that. I'll take my leave. If anything comes up, contact me," Benjamin said, sharing his contact information with Suzzy before he walked out.Once Benjamin left, Suzzy sat down and dialed the number of the interviewing team. After a few rings, the call connected."Hello, Manager Suzzy," a man's voice came through."Yes, hello. I want you to do something. Two young men came for an interview and were rejected. Give them a call, tell them they have another chance, and when they get here, interview them and give them the job," Suzzy instructed.The man asked, "Which young men are those, Manager?""I
Few hours later, Matthew and his brother Austin arrived at the NexaSky interview room and were seated. The room exuded a professional atmosphere with neutral-colored walls and sleek, modern furniture.Seated across from Matthew and Austin were the interviewers, a man in a sharp suit and a woman in an elegant office suit. They exuded a sense of authority, and a table between them held the necessary documents and interview materials. The room was well-organised. Matthew, although aware of the gravity of the inquiry, responded with a composed demeanor, "Certainly, sir. In the realm of aircraft design, advancements are rapidly reshaping the industry. One notable innovation revolves around the integration of advanced materials, such as carbon composites, which enhances structural integrity while reducing overall weight. This not only contributes to fuel efficiency but also improves the overall performance and durability of aircraft.”As Matthew spoke, the man listened attentively, observ
"Of course, why will I joke with such a thing?" Matthew asked. "I've really gotten it with Austin," he confirmed."Wow!" Benjamin pretended to be more shocked. "This is great news, brothers. Congrats to you both."Matthew nodded and said, "This actually calls for a celebration. Where are you? Come because the three of us need to party well.""Ah, that's true, but sadly I'm on an errand. Tomorrow we have games at school. Why don't we meet then and have fun?" Benjamin suggested."That's true. We'll meet tomorrow then. Just take care of yourself," Benjamin said."Ok, brother," Matthew replied before hanging up.After the call, Evelyn looked at Benjamin and asked, "Who were you speaking to, son? Hope everything is alright?"Benjamin nodded and said, "Just some brothers' issue at school, nothing big."Evelyn nodded and didn't ask further. Soon, Benjamin arrived home, and getting inside, he threw himself on the bed, relaxing for about a minute before taking his phone out."Cordelia hasn't g
Evelyn smiled and said, "Come on, you both, let's go to the dining area," and took the lead.Benjamin looked at Cordelia and asked, "May we?"Cordelia nodded and whispered, "I think I like your mom; she's really cool even in just a few minutes of interaction."Benjamin replied, "You'll like her more," and they both walked into the dining area.The table was elegantly set with fine china, crystal glasses, and silverware. A rich array of food adorned the table, including fresh lobster, Wagyu beef, truffles, saffron-infused dishes, foie gras, imported caviar, artisanal cheeses, and exotic fruits like dragon fruit and passion fruit. The aroma of the delicacies wafted through the air, creating a tantalizing atmosphere.There were also carefully selected wines on the table, each cup meticulously placed. Additionally, to honor tradition, there was a pot of well-prepared jollof rice, showcasing a blend of flavors.The setting exudes luxury, and as Cordelia entered. Evelyn gracefully took her
Evelyn nodded, feeling a bit relieved that her son had a chance. She then asked, "What about relationships?”Cordelia shook her head and explained, "I remember when I was in Senior High, I liked someone, but that was all. It all stopped at once. I stopped liking the guy and didn't bother making him aware. Since then, I've never been in a relationship. I really don't want to be in one. I just want to live my peaceful life alone forever."Evelyn shook her head and advised, "My dear, you aren't a kid. You must create a family sometime. If I may ask, how old are you?""I'm 27, aunt," Cordelia replied."Oh, my son is 24, meaning you're three years older than him. Even if so, you both are a good match," Evelyn remarked.Benjamin was stunned hearing his mom say it straightforward. He raised his head and took a look at Benjamin.Cordelia raised her head, glancing at Benjamin before looking away and shaking her head, saying, "No, Auntie, you're wrong. Let's take an example. If I'm in a relatio
As the dance tutorial played on the TV, Benjamin led Cordelia through the following steps. They started with a simple sway to get in sync with the music. Benjamin then guided Cordelia through some basic footwork, twirls, and gentle spins, all following the instructions on the screen.As the dance progressed, Benjamin held Cordelia's hand, occasionally bringing her closer. Following a move from the tutorial, he gently placed his hand on her waist, and Cordelia blushed, feeling the warmth of the moment.Benjamin tried to lighten the atmosphere with conversation, attempting to draw Cordelia out of her shyness."You know, dancing is all about expressing yourself," he said with a reassuring smile. "Don't worry about the steps; just let go and enjoy the moment.”During a more intimate step, the tutorial suggested a closer embrace. Benjamin hesitated for a moment, looking into Cordelia's eyes, and then smoothly wrapped his arm around her waist, drawing her closer. Cordelia's heart raced, fee
As soon as they stepped outside, it began raining. It seemed like it was already drizzling, and then suddenly, it started raining heavily."Oh God, why now? I'll be so drenched," she said.The rain poured down heavily, turning the quiet night into a symphony of raindrops hitting the ground.The coldness of the rain mixed with the cool night air, seeping through any exposed skin and sending shivers down Cordelia's spine. "It's raining hard now; I think you can't leave," Benjamin said.Cordelia shook her head and said, "Let's try; I guess I can still leave."Benjamin nodded, and they both took a step.Boom! The thunder rumbled instantly. Praaw! The thunder kept rumbling."Oh my God," Cordelia screamed lightly and hugged Benjamin, "let's get inside; I'm afraid of these things," she said.Benjamin chuckled, and they both walked back inside.Getting inside, they both sat down. Cordelia looked worried, checking the time."Hey, I don't think you should leave. Why not spend the night with me
