Chapter 86
The Audit Department''s swanky digs on the top floor were all set up, with Wyatt having already moved
in. Every day, new job seekers wereing in to interview, some with master''s degrees, others with
PhDs, all with strong education backgrounds.
Cordelia took her bilingual resume and paid Wyatt''s office a visit.
Wyatt was now forty-something. He was a friendly and humble guy with some seriousnguage skills,
so he and Cordelia had no troublemunicating.
"Ms. Haselwood, you can submit your resume directly to the HR department. I''m still new here and
don''t know the staff all that well." Wyatt said.
"To be honest with you, Mr. Wyatt, I''ve already submitted my resume, but the HR department bounced
it back. But I really want to work in auditing. I was a top graduate at school, got schrships every
year, passed three CPA exams, and am currently working in the Finance Department. Just have a look
at my resume." Cordelia said while exuding a cool and collected aura.
Wyatt gave her a nod and started perusing her resume. Cordelia was one of the few people who had
brought in a resume in German, which impressed Wyatt.
"Ms. Haselwood, do you speak German?" Wyatt asked Cordelia.
"Oh, no, I don''t."
"Then your resume..."
"My husband tranted it for me." Cordelia reluctantly answered, careful not to mention Ronan''s name
to avoid any misunderstandings.
"You''re married?"
"Yes, just recently."
"So when are you guys nning to have children? I know it''s a sensitive question. Sorry, Ms.
Haselwood. I don''t mean to offend, but it''s important for the job interview." Wyatt said with a shrug.
Cordelia got it.
Women often get asked this question during job interviews.
Wyatt had already said that it was a necessary question for the job interview, so Cordelia didn''t feel
ufortable. She simply answered. "I probably won''t have any ns to have children in the next five
years."
Considering Barney looked pretty fit, it would be no biggie for him to live another five years. If she were
to have children, she''d probably have to wait until after divorcing Ronan and finding a new boyfriend.
That was way too far off. She probably wouldn''t have kids within the next ten years.
Wyatt thought for a moment. "Alright, Ms. Haselwood,e for a written test on Friday, and I''ll keep
your resume."
Cordelia was thrilled. She was right in guessing that the higher-ups were easier to deal with than the
grunts.
She didn''t let Ronan know about her applying to Wyatt. On one hand, she didn''t want to use his
connections; on the other hand, she didn''t want him to interfere.
Just as Cordelia was applying to Wyatt, Jordan was preparing a transfer request form for Ronan to
sign, applying for Cordelia to be sent to Lumos za as a field ountant and team leader.
Ronan frowned at the form. "You want to send her to the field office?"
"Yes, I just didn''t want to make the decision myself in case it would affect the two of you meeting."

Jordan said, trying to kiss up to his boss.
"We barely see each other at thepany anyway." Ronan leaned back in his chair.
"What?" Jordan didn''t catch that.
"You go talk to her about it. I have no objections." Ronan handed the form back to Jordan.
When Jordan returned to his office, he gave Cordelia the task of going to work at Lumos za for a
month.
"But I just submitted an application to the Audit Department"
"Don''t worry, it would be great if you could go to the Audit Department. But even if you can''t, being sent
out to work for a month is a good opportunity, you could get a promotion when youe back to the
Finance Department. Even if you went to the Audit Department, you''d just be an assistant." Jordan
whispered to Cordelia, sounding like he really wanted her to stay.
But what he really wanted was for Cordelia to stay in the Finance Department and not go to the Audit
Department.
