Chapter-50

"Hehe. You have nothing to say for yourself now, right?" 

Beatrix smiled gleefully. Just as she was about to teach 

him a lesson, Emmanuel said calmly, "This isn't a 

candlelight dinner. I'm only treating her to a meal to 

thank her." 

"Huh? Thank her?" Beatrix was surprised. 

That never crossed Beatrix's mind. "I was the one who 

helped you that night. You should be treating me 

instead. Why are you treating her to a meal? Is it 

because you like her? In what way am I not better than 

Claudette?" she asked, riled up. 

She even puffed her chest when she finished her 

sentence. 

Emmanuel was at a loss for words. Ms. Beatrix is really 

an active person. Her personality's the complete 

opposite of that icy woman. Mm… I'm sure they're not 

related by blood. 

"Ms. Beatrix, you've misunderstood the situation. I'm not 

thanking her because of that. She was the one who 

helped my mother get the ward back." 

That was when Emmanuel told her what happened at 

the hospital. 

At the same time, he found the situation odd. Why is 

she asking weird questions during a job interview? 

"I see…" Beatrix stroked her chin. 

Mackenzie must be feeling upset because of this 

matter. I wonder if there'll be any changes to her mood 

if I tell her the truth. 

"Yes. If you don't mind, I can treat you to a meal to 

thank you too." 

"Really?" 

"Yes, but I can only treat you to a normal meal 

because I'm low on funds," Emmanuel explained 

frankly, his cheeks blushing. 

"All right. I'll hire you because of this meal. You can 

come to work from tomorrow onward and become my 

errand boy," informed Beatrix while clapping. 

"Huh?' 

Just like that? 

Emmanuel froze for a few seconds before saying, 

378 

"Thank you, Ms. Beatrix." 

Seeing him stepping out of the room, Alessandra 

hurried over and asked, "Manny, how did the interview 

go?" 

Since Emmanuel was the first to get interviewed, many 

interviewees eyed him nervously. 

"Haha! He must've failed! I've never heard of a high 

school graduate getting hired at Terence Group," 

Jacob mocked. 

"Exactly. All the employees at Terence Group are highly 

educated people." 

"This position requires an individual to have professional knowledge. They'll never hire him." 

A few youngsters discussed softly by the side. 

Ignoring them, Emmanuel answered, "Mom, I got the 

job. I'll start working tomorrow, so you really don't have 

to work." 

"What?" 

The youngsters' eyes almost popped out of their heads 

in astonishment. One of them even dropped their 

glasses. 

He got hired? 

A young lady quickly approached and asked softly, "What did they ask during the interview?" 

It was apparent that she wanted to join Terence Group 

and have a promising career plan. 

"The questions are a little odd. Are you sure you want to hear them?" Emmanuel asked sincerely. He was not 

a petty person. 

"Yes, please. Thank you, mister." 

The young lady clasped her hands together with an 

expectant look on her face. 

Even Jacob and the others pricked up their ears. 

"Have you ever had any affairs?" 

"Huh?" 

The first question caught the young lady by surprise. 

Regardless, Emmanuel had already expected that 

reaction from her. After all, that was his first reaction, 

too. Unfazed by her response, he continued, "Have you 

ever had a candlelight dinner with someone of the. 

opposite gender?" 

"What?" Jacob shrieked. 

What kind of questions are these? What do they have 

to do with the position? 

Ignoring their reactions, Emmanuel continued with the 

last question, "The interviewer also asked in what way 

is she not better than Ms. Claudette Lenoir." 

Jacob almost screamed, and the young lady was 

speechless. 

Even the other interviewees around them were 

dumbfounded. What kind of interview is this? 

However, Emmanuel appeared honest. He did not look 

like he was lying. 

Of course, Emmanuel did not care if they believed him 

or not. He simply wished them luck and left with 

Alessandra.
