"Alright. Are you getting off work now?" Melvin checked the time and asked.N?velDrama.Org content rights.


    Avery hummed in response.


    Elliot had just texted her, reminding her to go home.


    "Is there anything else you wish to discuss?" She asked.


    "Nothing much. Maybe just a chat... If you are in a hurry, you should go! It''s not important..." Melvin smiled.


    Curious, she asked, "what is it? Go ahead! Elliot''s isn''ting to pick me up today so I''m in no hurry!"


    "Oh. Why isn''t heing? Busy?"


    "I told him not to." She studied Melvin''s face and guessed, "is that something you want from me? Money, or something else..."


    "Pfftt!" He let augh escape. "It''s really nothing important... I''m just curious as to why you chose Juliet Sutton to be your assistant. I''ve seen her resume and there isn''t anything special about her. I met her in person this morning as well and she seemed pretty shy. Can someone like that handle the job?"


    Relieved, Avery said, "so that''s what this is all about! SHe''s not as shy as you think. After talking to her, I think she''s pretty organized with her speech, so she should be able to handle it."


    "What makes you decide to hire her? I want to know what you were thinking, because she''s the only one you interviewed and you decided to take her right away. I''ve nced through all the resume human resources submitted and any one of the candidates would be more talented than Ms. Sutton."


    Melvin wanted to know what Avery''s values and perspectives were; with Avery back to work, they would need to spend a lot of time together so he felt that it was best for him to know her better.


    "First of all, I''ve read through her resume. Apart from the fact that she has no experience, she''s quite talented," Avery exined. "Besides that, I felt like she''s very easy to talk to..."


    "President Tate, you are an


    approachable person, so you would


    find anyone easy to talk to. I''ve never heard of you fighting with anyone nor have I heard anyone saying anything bad about you." Melvin shrugged. "There has to be some other reason that you are hiring her, right?"


    Avery flushed. "Alright, I''lle clean! It''s because she''s from Ylore. Don''t ask me why. I just feel like doing it."


    Satisfied with her answer, Melvin said, "okay. I get it. But will you keep her here if she''s not fit for the job?"


    "I don''t think that would happen." Avery smiled confidently.


    "Alright, then! Let''s see what she can do!"


    During dinner, Elliot noticed that she remained in a dazed state and ced a piece of meat on her te. "What are you thinking about? Focus on your food, or your stomach might have trouble digesting it."


    "Right before kgot off work, my vice


    .ne


    president came and asked me why I decided to hire Juliet Sutton. He was too persistent so I told him the truth." Avery ced the piece of meat into her mouth and drawled, "I''m being too emotional, am I? I feel like he is doubting my ability."


    Elliot had not expected her to be so troubled over such small matters.


    "She''s just an assistant. Even if she couldn''t do a single thing right, it won''t affect the overall operation of thepany," he said. "If you regret it, just fail her after the probation and hire another person who''s more experienced."
