Rick had been by Terrence Sterling’s side for many years, and with Meredith’s resignation, he began to notice a change in Terrence’s demeanor towards her.


    Upon learning that Terrence Sterling had ousted Fiona from Thornfield Gardens, Rick’s suspicions were confirmed.


    Mr. Sterling had feelings for Miss Florrick.


    As a subordinate, Rick could only specte and dare not ask.


    ncing at the remaining resumes in Meredith’s hands, Rick inquired, “How did the interview go?”


    “It… doesn’t look promising,” Meredith shrugged, not giving up. “I’ll look over them again, Mr. Shepard, I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving.”


    “Alright,” Rick didn’t stop Meredith. Mr. Sterling had only asked him to keep an eye on her, not to make her stay.


    Meredith nodded and walked away.


    Unbeknownst to them, their conversation was witnessed by Kyle Royce, the head of the HR department.


    Kyle Royce knew Rick; after all, he was a prominent figure by Terrence Sterling’s side, well-known in their circle.


    Pondering to himself, Kyle wondered about the woman he just saw chatting with Rick. Who was she and how did she know Mr. Shepard? They seemed quite familiar.


    Watching Rick head towards the elevator, Kyle entered the interview room and asked the interviewer, “The woman who just left the interview, what’s her name? The one with long hair, quite beautiful. Let me see her resume.”


    Amongst all who hade in so far, Meredith was the only woman.


    The interviewer retrieved Meredith’s resume from the rejected pile and presented it to Kyle. “Mr. Royce, are you referring to this girl named Meredith Florrick?”


    At a nce, Kyle recognized her from the photo on the resume. “Yes, that’s her. Keep her.”


    The interviewer was surprised, “Mr. Royce, does this woman have some significant background?”


    Kyle exined, “I saw her chatting with Mr. Shepard earlier, Mr. Terrence Sterling’s secretary. It seemed like they had an unusual rtionship, and they mentioned Mr. Sterling. With her connections, it wouldn’t hurt to keep her.”


    “Alright, understood, Mr. Royce,” the interviewer nodded. “I’ll call Meredith immediately to start next Monday.”


    The position in this recruitment was already internally decided, with only one spot avable for external candidates.


    Meredith’s chances of getting the job were nearly impossible.


    Terrence Sterling had asked Rick to keep an eye on Meredith, fearing that if he found out about Rick’s actions inadvertently helping Meredith get the job, he might deduct Rick’s year-end bonus.


    …


    Just as Meredith exited the Falconer Holdings’ gate, she received a call informing her that she had passed the interview. “Miss Sterling, are you avable toplete the onboarding procedures next Monday?”


    Meredith was almost incredulous; she was certain she wouldn’t get the job.


    “Okay, thank you, no problem,” Meredith was incredibly excited.


    After hanging up, Meredith immediately texted Justin to share her joy.


    As she sent the message, a woman suddenly rushed out from the side, identally bumping into her, causing her phone to fall to the ground.


    Before Meredith could pick up her shattered screen phone, she heard a sharp voice.


    “Watch where you’re going, will you?” The woman was particrly arrogantly and bitingly added, “You’ve hurt me.”


    Meredith was speechless; she hadn’t even moved, how could she have bumped into anyone?


    Picking up her broken phone, Meredith looked at the woman in front of her. “Miss, you’re the one who bumped into me, my phone…”


    The woman, d in designer clothes, tall and beautiful, interrupted her with a phone call. “I’m almost there, watch him, don’t let him leave,” then hurriedly went inside, appearing to be in a rush.


    “Hey, my phone…” Meredith wanted to argue with the woman.


    The fresh graduate girl who had chatted with her earlier stopped her. “Meredith, that’s Joy Chaucer, her mother is the CEO of Falconer Holdings. It’s better to let it go.”


    She’s Bianca’s daughter?


    Meredith was surprised; she admired Bianca Chaucer, how could she have an unreasonable daughter like Joy Chaucer?N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.


    Of course, she was relieved that Joy Chaucer had urgent matters to attend to; otherwise, she would have been the one to suffer.


    She was just an ordinary person, and such an heiress like Joy Chaucer would surelye out on top.
