    Cornelia felt like she just wanted to disappear off the face of the earth She buried her face in her pillow,


    squealing in embarrassment.


    Cornelia got a grip on herself and dialed Tahlia. The call was picked up almost immediately Cornelia


    said, “Tahlia, I want you toe with me somewhere.”


    Tahlia responded, “I have something to discuss with you. I’vended a job at The Hartley Group”


    Cornelia was surprised, “Weren’t you supposed to work with Bri? Why did you apply to The Hartley


    Group?”


    Tahlia exined, “I saw they were hiringst night and just sent my resume on a whim. Everyone


    knows Hartley Group’s hiring process is cutthroat with most applicants getting the boot. I didn’t hold my


    breath. This morning, I got a call from their HR department for an interview at 10. They just skimmed


    through my resume, asked some basic questions, then told me I was hired”


    Knowing howpetitive The Hartley Group was and how high their sries were, it was a shock to


    Cornelia that Tahlia got in after just one round of interviews. It must have been her exceptional skills


    that caught their eye.


    Thinking about how ba da ss her sister was, Comelia was thrilled, “I knew you were talented, but not


    this talented. I had to go through several rounds of gruelling interviews and tests, scoring top marks


    each time, before I got hired”


    Tahlia remarked, “I also find it too good to be true. I suspect they may have given me preferential


    treatment because we share the same surname.”


    Corneliaughed, “I’m just an assistant at The Hartley Group. It’s a big deal if someone even praises


    me to my face, let alone pay special attention to me. You got this job on your own merit. It has nothing


    to do with me.”


    Tahlia replied, “Who said it has nothing to do with you? The person who interviewed me even


    mentioned you. He said it’s no big deal if I don’t know the ropes of secretarial work, you can teach me.”


    Cornelia was stunned, “Did you tell the interviewer that you’re my sister?”


    Tahlia replied, “No. They said the only open position was in the secretarial department and


    rmended I start there. They said I can transfer to the financial department when a vacancy opens


    up.”


    It was strange that a person with no background in secretarial work was ced in the executive


    secretarial department. Cornelia asked, “So, have you joined the secretarial department?”


    Tahlia replied, “I haven’t decided yet. I told them I’d discuss it with my family first. Do you think I should


    take this job? Do you think, I can handle secretarial work?”


    Cornelia answered, “You’re a top graduate from a prestigious university, and basic secretarial work


    would be a piece of cake for you. The question is whether you’re interested in the job and if you want to


    give it a shot.”


    Tahlia said, “I want to try. I want to get my foot in the door at The Hartley Group and wait for the right


    opportunity to transfer to the department I like.”


    Cornelia replied, “If that’s what you want, then go for it. If you have any questions, just ask me. After


    years of secretarial work and now being an executive assistant, I know the ropes.”


    Tahlia said, “Cornelia,”


    Cornelia replied, “Yes?”


    Tahlia said, “I’m going to goplete the hiring process now.”


    Cornelia replied, “Alright. Once you’re done, meet me at Ma llon. I’m nning to grab a coffee with


    ir.”


    Tahlia said, “I don’t want to see her. Can I sk ip?”


    Cornelia answered, “Of course, you have the right to say no.”Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
