Wrong Ride, Right Lover novel Chapter 285

With an underwhelming resume, Monique Xander managed to enter the planning department without any competency assessment.

She even came recommended by Manager Harper. Was the man blind? The woman was innocent-looking like a white lily. However, her beauty was average in comparison to the female population in Marriott International.

Monique felt her skin crawl when the manager’s hawk-like gaze fell on her.

Manager Hayley kept her anger at bay. Who was she to deny the chairman’s request? She asked, “Why do you want to join the planning department?”

“I want to learn something new. I know I’m inexperienced but I promise I’ll try my best.” Monique anxiously rubbed her hands.

It was daunting to stand before the manager who was 1.8 meters tall.

At least the new hire’s attitude was satisfactory. She did not display any sense of entitlement despite having the chairman’s backing.

Manager Hayley wondered why the woman was assigned to such a lowly position.

Odd.

She placed the document on her table and said to Charlotte, “Take her to Assistant Manager Waltn. He’ll assign her a desk.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

Monique’s hands were covered in sweat. She belatedly realized they were leaving and quickly said, “Thank you, Manager Hayley. I’ll work hard.”

Charlotte was as glad as Monique to be out of the room. Manager Hayley was a notoriously strict boss. Manager Harper must have given her the heads up for the meeting to go smoothly.

They went looking for the assistant manager. Jacob Walt was a well-groomed and well-dressed man.

The assistant manager caught sight of Charlotte and said, “Charlotte! What a rare sight!”

The man tapped his chest twice and said, “Rest assured. Why don’t you ever trust me?”

Charlotte only glared at him.

After the secretary left, Jacob suddenly turned to Monique and said, “Please have a seat. I forgot that I need to ask Charlotte something.”

Without waiting for a response, he ran out of the planning department.

“Charlotte! Wait!” Jacob called out.

He was curious as to who the new hire was. A relative of Charlotte’s?

Charlotte turned around and asked, “What's the matter? Why did you personally escort the new hire? Who is she?”
