Chapter 16
"Thank you so much. I can resume tomorrow!" Loraine replied with a smile.
Things weren't going the way Vickie had planned. Her face turned livid with embarrassment and fury.
"No way! I don't agree!"
The third interviewer frowned deeply.
"Vickie, what's wrong with you today? You asked her a question more difficult than it should be. Miss
Torres has proven that she's perfect for the job. Why are you still insisting that she shouldn't be hired?"
In the face of her colleagues' antagonism, Vickie said firmly, "I don't think this plan is her idea. Something tells me she stole it from somewhere. For your information, Loraine and I were once classmates. She liked to cheat doing tests. It was so bad that she got expelled from school. Her qualifications are all fake. I won't allow such a liar to work in Universe Group!"
Vickie sneered after she finished speaking. Her lie was just perfect since Loraine had dropped out of school. She felt that her colleagues wouldn't find out the truth even if they did a background check. The other two interviewers looked at Loraine with suspicion.
One of them put on a serious expression and said, "I'm sorry, Miss
Torres. The interview is over. You may leave now."
"Wait!" Just when Loraine was about to leave dejectedly, a low and pleasant male voice came from the door. "What a disgrace! It never crossed my mind that the interviewers could jump to conclusions without solid evidence. I'm highly disappointed!"
"Mr. Benton!"
ALL the interviewers sprang up to their feet as soon they saw their boss, Cayson Benton.
Cayson was a tall and handsome young man. A pair of gold-rimmed glasses sat on his nose. His jawline was well-sculpted. He usually had a gentle aura.
But now, he was frowning as he looked at Vickie.
"When did you all start depending on hearsay? Since Miss Torres was allegedly expelled from school for cheating, don't you think evidence should be provided?"
"Ermm..."
Vickie was short of words. She had lied, so she didn't know how to provide evidence.
Cayson sneered at her. "It seems you can't provide evidence because there's none. You are spreading untrue rumors to taint Miss Torres' image. How despicable!" Vickie's face turned pale.
"You are fired!" Cayson declared expressionlessly.
