Chapter 79: Are You Short Of Money?


    The man frowned and seemed to be very dissatisfied. “What happened?”


    Jeremy immediately walked over and greeted him, “Mr. Roberts.”


    “Who was arguing here just now?” Tim asked.


    “This designer came here for an interview,” Jeremy said, pointing at Estelle. “She is Mr. Hans’...”


    Before he could say the word “ex-girlfriend”, Tim motioned him to stop talking.


    Tim looked Estelle up and down and asked suspiciously, “You’re here for an interview?”


    “Yes,” Estelle replied to him politely and stood straight. “I’m here to apply for the job as a designer.


    My name is Estelle.”


    Hearing her, Tim suddenly sneered. “You’re a designer? If you didn’t tell me, I thought you were


    here to apply for the job as a cleaner.”


    Jeremy immediately said, “Mr. Roberts, this designer, is Mr. Hans’ ex-girlfriend. Mr. Hans is a very


    important client for us, and he ced a big order. If she can join ourpany, we’ll be able to close


    the deal soon.”


    “I don’t care who she is,” Tim said coldly. “My principle of running thepany is to attract


    customers with excellent design, not relying on this kind of nepotism to make profits. She’s Mr.


    Hans’ ex-girlfriend, so what? Even if Mr. Hans’ current girlfriendes here to apply for a job but is


    notpetent enough, I will reject her immediately. I don’t need the so-called big order. I don’tck


    money.”


    “Mr. Roberts, listen to me, please. You are indeed a pir in the jewellery industry, but running a


    company requires professionalism and strategy. Recently, a lot of designers have designed fine


    jewellery, and many customers have been taken away. But If we lose such a big client like Mr. Hans,


    ourpany will suffer huge losses!” Jeremy said anxiously.


    However, Tim, who was proud and stubborn, didn’t listen to him at all. Instead, he looked at Estelle


    disgustedly and said, “You can go now. I don’t need an employee who tries to join mypany by


    improper means.”


    Jeremy still wanted to persuade him, “Mr. Roberts...”


    “Shut up!” Tim couldn’t stand it anymore and interrupted him. “No one can change my mind. Get her


    out of here. I’ll give you ten minutes. If she is still here ten minutester, you will be fired. Got it?”


    Hearing this, Jeremy didn’t dare to persuade him anymore.


    He sighed and said to Estelle, “Miss Hudson, I’m sorry. As you’ve heard, Mr. Roberts hates


    nepotism and attaches more importance to a designer’s professionalism. You may have to find


    another job.”


    “Wait a minute.” Estelle took a deep breath and said, “Mr. Roberts, I can understand your strict


    standard in recruiting designers and your strict rules in picking jewellery designs for your valued


    clients. But I have nothing to do with Mr. Hans now. Please give me a chance to work here. If you


    are not satisfied with my designs, I will leave immediately and never bother you again.”


    Hearing this, Tim raised his eyebrows and looked at her, “Your designs? Can you really design


    jewellery?”


    “Mr. Roberts, give me a chance, please,” Estelle pleaded sincerely.


    Tim still looked at her with his face full of dislike and distrust, “You are a designer, but you dress up


    like this. How can I believe that you can make beautiful jewellery designs? Gold, silver, and jade are


    not like cloth. If a cloth is broken, you just need to change a piece of cloth or cut it into another style.


    But if jade is not well designed, the whole piece of it will be destroyed.”


    Estelle looked down at her dress and was confused.


    ‘Didn’t Reba say that the boss of thepany doesn’t like beautiful women the most? I specially


    dressed myself up like this, but why is he still dissatisfied with my appearance?’


    “Mr. Roberts, my appearance has nothing to do with my design capability,” she responded.


    Tim chuckled and said, “You’re so persistent. Okay, I’ll give you a chance. Come here at nine


    o’clock tomorrow morning.”


    Hearing that, Estelle was pleasantly surprised. “Thank you, Mr. Roberts!”


    “There’s no need to thank me. I’m very strict. You should know that I have fired many top designers


    in this industry,” Tim warned her.


    “Yes, I’ve heard about it.” Estelle nodded.


    “You seem to be very confident in yourself, don’t you?”


    “No. But I need this job. I will try my best,” Estelle took a deep breath and said firmly.


    “You are short of money?” Tim asked.


    Estelle nodded and said in embarrassment, “Yes.”


    Tim looked at her faded old clothes and said, “I can see that.”


    “I’m sorry. I’ll be properly dressed tomorrow,” Estelle assured him.


    Tim said with a meaningful look, “I’m wondering if you will threaten the safety of the jade and gold in


    ourpany since youck money.”


    His words were a bit hurtful. However, Estelle didn’t take his words seriously and didn’t get angry.


    In her mind, jewellery design belonged to the art industry, and the designers were all artists. It was


    normal that an artist like Tim had an odd character. Besides, she could see that although Tim was


    difficult, he was a good designer.


    “Mr. Roberts, I’ll only be responsible for designing. Cutting jade and gold is the work of craftsmen.


    You don’t have to worry about it,” Estelle replied to him.


    Tim raised his eyebrows and said with a faint smile, “Can I believe you? You are quite funny. If you


    can’t meet my standard and can’t work as an efficient designer, I’ll consider hiring you as a cleaner


    here, for mercy’s sake.”

    ****


    Estelle arrived at Only Love Jewelrypany at half past eight the following day.


    She had changed her clothes, but they were just a little bit better than what she wore yesterday.


    She hadn’t bought new clothes for six years and had no new clothes.


    Thinking of Reba’s advice, Estelle didn’t dress up and especially put on her ck-framed


    sses before going out.


    Yesterday, although Tim showed his dislike for her shabby clothes, he still gave her a chance for an


    interview, which showed that Reba was right and Tim really didn’t like beautiful women.


    Seeing Estelleing, the receptionist directly took her upstairs to the previous meeting room.


    “Miss Hudson, Mr. Roberts said that the interview will be held here,” she said.


    “Thank you,” Estelle nodded and said. When she pushed the door open and walked into the


    meeting room, she saw at least twenty people in it.


    Tim was sitting in the innermost of the meeting room, and a manager called Bob was standing


    beside him. And next to them was arge screen disying a design drawing.


    Estelle said politely, “Good morning, Mr. Roberts. I am...”


    “I know who you are. You don’t have to tell me again. I’m not that old to forget it so soon,” Tim


    interrupted her and cut her words.


    The next moment, the others all turned their heads to look at her.


    Being stared at by so many people, Estelle was a little uneasy and even felt that the air in the


    meeting room had be thinner.


    She thought that Tim was in a meeting, so she said, “Mr. Roberts, I’ll go out first and wait for you


    outside.”


    “Wait.” Tim stopped her. “All the designers of ourpany are here today. Do you mind if we


    interview you together?”
