Glad to humor them; that's enough.
It's the first time they come here; this attitude was plenty!
Carol immediately beamed, "I knew you still cared about me. Even if you've climbed up the ladder, you won't forget your two nieces. So I'll take Zandra back and wait for your good news."
Marilyn casually nodded.
Carol left with Zandra, all smiled.
In the elevator downstairs, there were quite a few company employees. Upon seeing them, Carol began to brag, "Marilyn from the finance department is my baby sister. I'm here to visit her!"
Nobody knew how to respond, as nobody had asked her!
But to be Marilyn's relative, Mrs. Bishop was the future mother-in-law of the CEO.
Their faces turned flattering, and they began to compliment her, saying all sorts of nice things.
Carol was flying high from the praise; even Zandra started to have some unrealistic dreams.
Oh, God, if she could work at such a big company.
As the cousin of the CEO's wife, she'd definitely be flattered by all these elites, right?
Once they stepped out of the Skyline Corporation, Zandra looked seriously at her mom and said, "Mom, you must get on Marilyn's good side; have her arrange a job for me here."
"Huh? Isn't finding you a rich boyfriend more important?"
"Mom. Look at here, everyone in and out of here is a capable elite, probably earning millions a year. As long as I get a job here, with my abilities, not to mention my boyfriend, I can even find an exceptional one for Zola! Even if Stephanie doesn't help me in the future, I can live a life of luxury on my own! What I lack is an opportunity to work at a company like this!"
"Alright, let's go back and wait for her call. If this doesn't work, I'll come again! Look at these people, how they fawned over me. I've never been treated like this in my life!"
That's only because they were doing it for Marilyn's sake.
After sending this mother-daughter duo away, Marilyn breathed a sigh of relief.
She was about to get back to work when she received a call from Sebastian.
Marilyn picked up the phone, somewhat surprised.
All she heard was Sebastian saying, "Mrs. Bishop, did your relatives come to give you trouble?"
Marilyn gave a wry smile. "I guess they found out about my status and got some crazy ideas again, said they didn't take a penny from what I gave before and started talking about old times to get me to help them!"
"Did they give you a hard time?"
"Not really. They wouldn't dare provoke me anymore, but they asked me to arrange a job for Zandra in the company; I don't have that power!"
Sebastian raised an eyebrow. "So, what are you thinking? If it's just a job, I can arrange something."
