Chapter 49
“Who’s Emmanuel Lowe?” the office lady asked.
“That’s me!” Emmanuel hurriedly raised his hand.“Come in for your final interview.” With that said, the office lady left, and Emmanuelhurried after her.Jacob and the others were totally shock.There were so many people waiting there, yet theperson in charge picked Emmanuel to be the first to gothrough the final interview.Even Emmanuel himself was puzzled.He walked down a corridor and entered a bright office.The moment he saw the beautiful woman sitting at thedesk, he exclaimed, “Ms. Beatrix, it’s you?”Beatrix had her hair tied into a double ponytail andwore a high schooler’s uniform. She looked just like ahigh schooler.“You’re here! Come on. Have a seat,” Beatrix greeted,though she looked unfriendly like a devil in disguise.She knew all about his dinner with Claudette last night.How bold of him! He already has a gorgeous wife, yet he has the guts to flirt with other women. How insolent! What happened last time was a misunderstanding, but there’s no way Claudette is his relative this time. I’m going to teach him a lesson on Mackenzie’s behalf!Emmanuel found her a little scary, but he still sat downcalmly and asked, “Ms. Beatrix, are you the one hiring?”He had always suspected Beatrix was Mackenzie’sboss. Otherwise, it made no sense that the formerknew him.“Of course!” Beatrix lifted her head slightly.Truth was, Mackenzie let Beatrix handle some projectsthat were running stably. One of them included theconstruction project with Cloud Construction that wasabout to complete.She had been a management trainee for some time. And now, she finally had the opportunity to be incharge of some projects. Naturally, she was excited.Never did she expect Emmanuel would apply for thejob she just put up.This is interesting.“Be honest and I’ll be lenient. Have you ever had anyaffairs?”“Huh?”Emmanuel’s lips twitched as he stared at Beatrix, whowas questioning him, her arms on her hips.Why does it feel like this woman’s interrogating me?It took him a while to ask, “Is this question a part of theinterview?”“Yes.”Beatrix was clearly not destined to be a qualifiedinterviewer. She threatened him, “You’ll pass theinterview if you’re honest. Tell me a single lie and you’llbe disqualified.”She even made a slicing motion with her hands.“No!” Emmanuel answered resolutely.Beatrix was taken aback, and she studied his facialexpression.With her level of intelligence and ability to identify lies,she could tell he was not lying. He was not blushing,nor did he do any subconscious moves to conceal thetruth. In fact, he looked incredibly calm.Does that mean he and Claudette haven’t slept witheach other yet?The more she thought about it, the more it made sense. Claudette was a daughter of a wealthy family. There’s no way she’ll let someone take advantage of5/7her so easily.“Have you ever had a candlelight dinner with anotherwoman without your wife’s knowledge?”With her hands pressed on the table, Beatrix stood upand glared daggers at him.Emmanuel could not help but frown, wondering whyBeatrix’s questions were so weird. Is she out of hermind?Moreover, she was behaving weirdly as well.“Answer me, or I’ll disqualify you.”“No.”“What? No?” Beatrix was shocked. How is he able to lie so naturally?Could his previous answer be a lie, too? Wow, this isimpressive. I’m going to expose you!“What’s this, then?”Beatrix opened her Instagram account and showedhim Claudette’s picture.Sure enough, there was a change in Emmanuel’sexpression.
