The formerly cold and distant Alice reached out her hand to Lolita, who felt that Alice had accepted it.
-You accept me because we are no longer competing for the same position?
Alice was thinking about this too. Although they had been rivals before, she had no reason not to accept Lolita.
It was just that Lolita’s enthusiasm scared her a little.
Ever since Diana had set her up many times, she had found it difficult to meet and trust a stranger.
Especially at such a critical time.
Alice didn’t know if her trip abroad would be discovered, and she didn’t know if Lolita was being instructed by anyone.
Lolita didn’t force her to answer and said with a smile, -It doesn’t matter, I don’t mind this. I’ve been working abroad for a long time, but I have very few friends, probably because I’m not good enough. But you talked to me the other day, so I think you’re a good person.
Alice was speechless.
Lolita thought she was a good person just because she talked to Lolita?
This girl was too simple.
-Anyway, thank you. The elevator is coming, let’s go.
Alice and Lolita entered the elevator when it dinged again and the two froze for a moment before looking at each other and laughing together.
They both laughed as they exited the elevator, completely ignoring the way the people inside were looking at them.
It took them a moment to stop laughing.
For a moment, they seemed much closer.
They didn’t take another elevator, but waited in place for it to return.
This time there were very few people in the elevator, and once Lolita had pressed the button for her floor, she asked, -Are you going to work now?
-I think so,” Alice nodded.
Lolita looked at her enviously, -That’s good, I knew you’d get the job after your interview.
If it hadn’t been for the fact that Alice’s interview lasted ten minutes, maybe Lolita wouldn’t have applied for another position.
After all, the salary of a secretary’s assistant was higher than that of a regular employee.
It was the money she needed most.
But she was not as good at her job as the others and had to be resigned to her fate.
Alice didn’t answer, smiling. Then, after saying goodbye to Alice, Lolita left, and Alice went straight to the office.
-Hello, I’m here to check in, I’m the assistant secretary.
The receptionist looked at her and pointed to an address, -There is the secretary’s office.
Alice saw the secretary’s office, said thank you and left.
The receptionist looked at her back and sat back down.
Alice knocked on the door of the secretary’s office.
-Come in,” a middle-aged woman said.
Alice walked in and saw one of the interviewers sitting at her desk.
She was the older woman, who had put on some weight, dressed plainly, wore glasses and was already a mother.
-Hello,” Alice greeted her.
-Come here.
The woman smiled at her.
Alice sat down on the sofa in front of her and took the contract the woman handed her, -You have a three month trial period and if you don’t perform well during this period, your salary will be the same as a normal employee’s. But if you excel and are regular after that, your salary will be the same as a normal employee. But if you excel and are regular after three months, you will be paid the same as a regular employee for those three months.
Alice nodded.
-Any other questions?
Alice shook her head, but felt it wasn’t right.
She was here to work, so she couldn’t let anyone know she was here for Kennedy, otherwise they might fire her before she finished her tests, and then her efforts would be in vain.
Although she was willing to work here for a long time, Alice was a little worried when she found out about the three-month probationary period.
She was already more than two months pregnant and could show her pregnancy in three months.
And then…
Alice frowned at the thought.
-You seem to have something else to ask me,” the woman looked at her and asked,
Alice came to her senses and nodded.
-Do I get paid every month until I have a permanent position? -Alice said, smiling shyly, “I have to pay the rent for the apartment, so….
-Haha, I understand. Don’t worry, we will pay you your full salary the first month after you are regularized, isn’t it a surprise?
-Great, no wonder there were so many interviewees.
The woman shook her head in amazement, -Do you think they do it for the company’s profits?
Alice knew, of course, that they weren’t, that they were all here for Kennedy.
But she couldn’t say that, so she nodded her head.
-No, the profits at the Carlos Group are not that exaggerated. After all, the interviewees had pretty much the same expectations. But the young women who have recently come for interviews all have the same purpose.
-What purpose?
The woman smiled enigmatically and, without answering.
-You’ll find out. By the way, if you have no other questions, sign this contract,” she stood up and said. Work hard for the next three months, and you can call me Giuliana Pinion.
Alice read the contract carefully and, after confirming it, signed it and handed it to the woman.
-Sure, thank you.
