The others exchanged glances as well; Aurora’s words meant she wouldn’t speak favorably for them.
“Well then, we can only leave it to fate,” some said dejectedly. Although they were top students at school, entering a company was a different matter. They were up against the elite from various companies, who had gone through rigorous trials and selections, while they were still students, inevitably feeling less confident.
Aurora understood their feelings well. If it had been during her first few years of working, facing a company interview as an ordinary person, she too would have been worried about being eliminated.
“Don’t worry, as long as you have the strength, just stay calm during the interview and perform your best. Those people are indeed business elites, they have their strengths, but you also have your own advantages,” Aurora advised them like an elder.
“We don’t have much experience, and isn’t that what society values most?”
Leonard asked. A faint smile appeared on Aurora’s lips, “Experience is important, but besides that, there’s also the drive to strive. Most of those people are here just for better benefits than their previous companies, and over the years in society, they’ve become slick and sophisticated but have lost the momentum to push forward. As you see, this company is a young, new company, needing fresh blood and the vigor of youth, traits that the old hands may not possess.”
“So, we still have a chance?”
“Of course, the opportunity is equal for everyone; it’s up to you to seize it. I must go now; I have other matters to attend to,” Aurora said, enlightening them with just a few words.
“Good luck with your interview.”
“Thanks,” Aurora replied with a backward glance and a smile that dazzled everyone. After she left, it took a while for the group to recover.
“Oh my.”
“What?”
“If Aurora had lived in ancient times, she could definitely turn an emperor into a tyrant!”
“True, I used to think Gemma was the prettiest girl, but after seeing Aurora, I realized what true grace is. I want a wife who is independent, confident, and beautiful like her,” Leonard said, blinking.
“Pfft, you wish. How many women like Miss Montgomery exist in this world? Remember Ivy from before? She was the only daughter of the Montgomery family, living like a vase, all play and no substance. Do you think she has half the demeanor of Aurora? With such a good family background, stunning looks, and strong abilities like Aurora, how many can you find?”
“No wonder even Julian Barnet fell for her. I envy them; a rich man with a beautiful woman, it’s a match made in heaven!”
The group was full of praise. Ian caught up, “What are you guys doing here? Get ready; we’re about to go for the written test.”
“Guess who we just saw?”
“Who?”
“Aurora! She’s also here for the interview. Now I understand what women should be like; she literally walks with the wind.”
“Look how excited you all are,” Ian thought back to when he first learned Aurora was the CEO and was equally shocked.
“Why didn’t your girlfriend come with you? What were you talking about just now?”
Everyone’s attention shifted back to him.
“If you keep talking like this, I’m going to lose my temper; she’s not my girlfriend! I have nothing to do with her,” Ian said, feeling nauseated just thinking about Gemma’s flirtatious behavior earlier.
Does she think all men would like her body? The more she behaves like this, the more it proves how many men she has been with!
“Alright, we won’t mention it again. I don’t know if you’re just being moody. You used to be so in love, and now we can’t even talk about her,” everyone muttered.
“That was before I knew what kind of person she was!”
Ian felt disgusted thinking about how long he had been deceived by her.
“Let it go, we’re all brothers here. We stand by you. There are plenty of fish in the sea. Oh, if I could ever marry someone as perfect as Aurora, I’d die happy,” one of them said.
Ian slapped him on the back, “Stop daydreaming; she’s not someone we can even think about. Come on, let’s go.”
“Yes.”
Gemma, standing behind them, overheard their conversation and felt even more displeased. Aurora, Aurora-it was all about Aurora.
Ian’s growing coldness towards her must surely be because of that bitch Aurora! Gemma fumed, her face turning pale.
Today, there was a continuous stream of people coming for interviews. Aurora walked back to Julian, and as soon as they entered the elevator, he pinned her against the wall and kissed her deeply.
Aurora was startled by his sudden kiss. What is he doing?
“What’s wrong?”
Aurora pushed him away.
“I don’t like you smiling at other people. You don’t realize how seductive you are. Those young guys just now were all dumbstruck,” Julian said, sounding like a sulky child.
Aurora smiled helplessly, “So, you’re jealous? Over a few strangers?”
“Yes, I’m jealous. I didn’t realize your smile had such an effect. I almost wanted to gouge out their eyes,” Julian said, hugging her tightly in his gloom.
The elevator dinged and opened, “Well, my heart and I are both yours. Aren’t you reassured by that?”
“Yes, you’re so likable, I wish I could keep you in my pocket all the time,” Julian chuckled lightly.
“You, I don’t even know what to say to you anymore. Come on, let’s go to my office?”
Aurora led him out of the elevator.
They reached the top floor, where the corridor outside the elevator was entirely made of glass, offering a view of the floors below.
Asher had been very thoughtful; she wanted to stand above everyone else, so he had designed this layout specifically.
Aurora stepped onto the glass floor, feeling terrified as if she were suspended in the air. Seeing her fear, Julian quickly swept her into his arms.
“Silly girl, don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
“Who said I was scared? I’m just not used to it yet. Put me down, this is the office, and it wouldn’t look good if people saw us,” Aurora said, both embarrassed and anxious.
“Really?”
Julian suddenly put her down, and Aurora looked down to see a dense crowd below, as if she were about to fall.
Instinctively, she clutched at Julian’s shirt.
