Chapter 5 That’s Impossible
“Xander, are you free tonight? My dad would like to—” “I’m busy. You can leave if there’s nothing else.” Sofia’s expression paled slightly. At first, she thought he would be nicer to her because she found a spy, but she did not anticipate his continuous cold shoulder. Feeling wronged, she went over to tug on his sleeve. “It’s just dinner…” The potent scent on her made Xander frown, and he mercilessly threw the resume at her. “Don’t make me repeat myself.” He was awfully sensitive to smell and could recognize others through their scent. Top perfumers like him were most afraid to smell the vigorous fragrance on others, and Sofia was like a walking incense stick. Of course, she was the vile kind, which made his stomach churn. She turned pale and grim interchangeably. Ultimately, she could not stand the strange gazes from Jonathan and the others and left. She had done what she came to do, anyway. There was still time, and she had to capture his heart! Noticing his boss’ bad mood, the human resources manager felt like leaving. “Mr. Youngblood, I’ll reject that spy immediately!” “Come back here.” Xander put out his cigarette and narrowed his eyes before instructing lazily, “Inform her that she’s hired.” “Pardon?” The human resources manager was surprised, while Jonathan was stunned, his imagination running wild. “She’s a spy, isn’t she? So, it’s better if we place her under our noses. You have to know your enemies well to beat them. I’m interested to see what kind of plan Kellan Quinlan has in store for us!” The human resources manager immediately flattered him. “No wonder you’re the company president, Mr. Youngblood. You’re so attentive!” Frustrated, Xander frowned. “Stop with the nonsense and get out.” He checked the resume again, and his fingers accidentally swept across the woman’s face. She had long black hair and snow-white cheeks, which reminded him of a lily in the mountains. While raising an eyebrow, he thought she looked pretty, but it was a shame that she was Kellan’s lover. … Thinking that Yolanda had no chance of entering Cloudscent Enterprise, Sofia was in high spirits despite being rejected. Her high heels clattered against the ground as she arrogantly made her way toward Yolanda’s apartment. When Yolanda heard the doorbell and opened the door, her mood immediately changed from surprise to displeasure. “How did you find me?” “I heard you applied for a position at Cloudscent Enterprise.” Sofia sized up Yolanda and scoffed when she noticed Yolanda’s entire outfit was cheaper than her shoes. “Someone like you doesn’t deserve to enter Cloudscent Enterprise. You don’t have the talent and educational background. Also, you slept with a married man and had his children!” When Sofia glanced at the children inside the room, her eyes had a hint of jealousy and hatred. “If I were you, I would’ve dug a hole to hide in and dare not return!” Yolanda’s expression turned slightly pale, but since her children were nearby, she endured her temper and quickly closed the door to block out Sofia’s voice, lest the children hear her nasty words. “What right do you have to judge me? And how dare you mention what happened back then!” “What right do I have to judge?” Sofia arrogantly looked at Yolanda and announced, “On the basis that I can get every company in Eldoria to boycott you.” Glancing coldly at the cocky woman, Yolanda retorted, “Why would you do that? Is it because you’re afraid you’ll get exposed for stealing the perfume I designed?” Her words poked at Sofia’s sore spot, and she barked, “You’d better bring your b*stard children and leave. No way are you going to earn a living in Eldoria!” Since she had already notified everyone, Yolanda could give up looking for a job in Eldoria because no one would hire her, no matter what job it was. “Are you sure? Sorry to disappoint you, though,” Yolanda sneered, “but I’ve gotten accepted into Cloudscent Enterprise. I’m starting next week.” At that moment, Sofia’s pupils contracted as she let out a silent scream before asking, “What did you just say?” How… How is that possible?!
