Chapter 16 You Are Fired
ine froze. She gritted her teeth and red at the two other interviewers.
It seemed that Garrett had already investigated this matter thoroughly, and he was dead serious
about the consequences. There was no way she could save herself with a few measly lies.
But the Larson Group discarded dozens, if not hundreds, of hopeful applicants every day.
She really couldn''t see what was so special about J. Why would a powerful man like Garrett go
out of his way to personally handle something so trivial?
At this point, ine decided to face the situation head-on. She lifted her chin, her eyes burning with
resentment and defiance. "I have no evidence. I only heard the rumors. I disliked her on the spot
and didn''t want her to work in thepany, and that''s why I said that she has a moral issue."
The amiable expression on Garrett''s face disappeared, turning cold. "You made a subjective
conjecture about another person based on rumors, and because of your personal feelings, you
ndered and insisted on eliminating a perfectly capable applicant. In doing so, you almost cost the
company apetent employee. It is obvious that you are unfit for a position in the Human
Resources Department. The only person of moral issues here is you. ine Sellers, you are fired."
A tense silence descended over the room.
All the color drained from ine''s ce. "I''m so sorry, Mr. Harding!" she immediately begged. "I
know I was wrong. I''ve realized my mistakes. It was all my fault. Please, I''ve been working for the
Larson Group since I graduated from university. Please, I beg you, let me go this once. If only for
the sake of my years of hard work in thepany."
Her desperation was written all over her face.
The Larson Group was a leading enterprise in the field of design, after all. It hadn''t been easy for
her to get into thepany in the first ce. She had even bragged about it to everyone she knew.
More importantly, if word got out that she had been fired by the Larson Group, she might not be able
tond a job in the industry again.
ine''s career would be ruined for good.
Unfortunately for her, Garrett didn''t care. He ignored her and turned to his assistant. "Call security
and have them take ine Sellers out of the building."
A small ruckus ensued. Only when the guards had dragged ine away did the meeting room fall
into another silence.
Garrett''s eyes darted toward J. Finally, he could observe this clever and talented woman at his
leisure.
"Miss Lind," he said kindly, "you may continue your application process if you like. I have read your
resume. You meet the requirements that the Larson Group has set for new graduates."
J gaped at him for a few seconds. When she finally came back to her senses, all she could
manage was a thoughtless nod. "I see. Okay. Thank you."
She couldn''t wrap her head around it. Thankfully, Garrett spoke again, or she would have remained
there, dazed and lost.
"Thank you again foring today," he said, shing her a smile. "I have another meeting, so I will
be leaving first."
He got to his feet and the rest of the men followed suit. Garrett was at the door when he suddenly
turned and winked at J. He appeared to be interested in her. "It''s been a pleasure meeting you,
Miss Lind. I look forward to seeing you again."
Once they had left, the female interviewer with chestnut hair came over and patted J on the
shoulder. "Great job, Miss Lind!" And then she left before J could say anything. Now all by
herself, J gripped the armrests of her chair, as if to ground herself and make sure that
everything was real.
When she stood up a whileter, she felt like she was stepping on clouds, weightless and free.

She was just as confused as she had been when she had first arrived, if not more so. What the
heck had just happened? Why did her failed interview draw so much attention, and from the VP of
thepany, no less?
