Chapter 721


    Really?


    He was just still enamored by her novelty.


    When you truly love someone, shouldn’t you want to spend your whole life with them?


    “Alright, enough jesting. The shipment of phones Leopold promised has been delivered. We at the


    Crawley Group are nning to capitalize on this coboration and get some publicity. We’re expecting


    some journalists today. Thssa, since you’re on duty, you’ll be the one to handle the interview. I want


    you tomunicate the advantages of the Crawley Group’s electronics to the world.”


    Thssa inquired curiously. “Wouldn’t Betty be a better fit?”


    She had only been at thepany for a few days and had taken quite a long break. She was not yet


    well-versed in the Crawley Group’s corporate culture. Betty likely knew the ins and outs of thepany


    much better than she did.


    It would be more reliable to have Betty represent the Crawley Group in the interview.


    “Betty is apanying me on a business trip today. I believe you can handle this, Thssa. Good


    luck.” Ethan gave Thssa an encouraging smile and nod before exiting the office.


    Betty passed by, also wishing her luck, before joining Ethan..


    From the look on Betty’s face, she was thrilled. She’d much rather apany Mr. Ethan on a business


    trip than represent the Crawley Group in an interview. It was a rare opportunity to spend time alone with


    Mr. Ethan.


    So, the responsibility of handling the interview fell on Thssa. She hastily turned on herputer and


    began diligently researching the Crawley Group’s corporate culture, as well as the details of their


    coboration with Leopold and the advantages of their electronic products, in great detail.


    Procrastination may be the thief of time, butst-minute preparations could sometimes save the day.


    In the afternoon, Thssa was busy memorizing the culture of the Crawley Group when someone


    knocked on the door. Without raising her head, she said, “Come in.”


    “Ms. Everhart, we’re journalists from Starhaven TV. We’ve scheduled an interview with you today.” A


    woman’s voice echoed in her ear.


    Thssa quickly turned around. “Ah, yes, the interview today…”

    Her words hung in the air as her gazended on the woman’s face. She was momentarily stunned.


    The journalist was none other than Charlotte Ravensong.


    It was Lysander’s fiancée, Charlotte.


    “Ms. Everhart, you seem rather surprised to see me.” Charlotte’s smile was forced and insincere.


    “We were supposed to interview Mr. Ethan, but he said you’d be handling it in his stead. So, shall we


    begin the interview?” With that, Charlotte signaled the cameraman behind her to start recording.


    Thssa quicklyposed herself and adopted a professional demeanor. She put aside all personal


    issues with Charlotte and focused on the task at hand.


    At first, Charlotte asked questions about the Crawley Group. Thssa was able to answer smoothly.


    She properly articted the group’s strengths and shared the sess story of their recent


    coboration with a start-up.

    After asking a few questions about the Crawley Group, Charlotte suddenly asked, “Ms. Everhart, would


    you say that nepotism exists within the Crawley Group? Is itmon for people to get ahead due to


    their connections?”


    Thssa maintained herposure and responded with a courteous smile. “The Crawley Group treats


    all people fairly.”


    “Really? It’smon knowledge that a bachelor’s degree is the minimum requirement for secretarial


    jobs in our industry. However, as far as I know, you don’t seem to have a college degree, Ms. Everhart.”


    Charlotte’s question seemed harmless on the surface, but her intent was clear,


    Thssa’s gaze hardened slightly. She could sense Charlotte’s underlying hostility, but she was adept


    at handling such situations.


    Her smile remained as she confidently responded. “You’re correct. I dropped out of college after my


    sophomore year and don’t have a degree. However, my work ability is outstanding. The Crawley Group


    is only the secondpany where I’ve held a secretarial position, the first being the Sinir Group.


    The industry values ability first and foremost, and credentialse second. A degree is just a piece of


    paper. There are many people who have degrees butck practical skills. Wouldn’t you agree, Ms.


    Ravensong?”


    With that rhetorical question, Thssa effectively turned the tables on Charlotte, suggesting that she


    might be one of those people who had degrees but


    Charlotte looked momentarily perturbed, but she quickly regained herposure and responded with a


    smile, “Is that so? Being as attractive as you are is a skill in itself. Isn’t it, Ms. Everhart?”
