She quickly apologized and hurried away from the exclusive floor, kicking herself for mistaking

Theodore for the CEO of the BRD Group.

After all, Theodore was the leader of the Anderson Group, and it was foolish of her to assume he had

anything to do with the BRD Group.

Thankfully, Ariana arrived at the correct floor just in time for the interview.

The competition for the role of assistant was fierce, and the interviewers’ questions were sharp and

demanding. But Ariana remained poised and composed, answering each query with confidence and

conviction.

Although some interviewers had reservations about her educational background, the chief interviewer

in the center of the panel appeared impressed by her responses, expressing his admiration without any

attempt to conceal it.

This impeccably-dressed man, with a countenance that exuded charm, not only oozed handsomeness

but was also cordial and friendly toward Ariana.

“Ms. Edwards has left us impressed with her performance in the interview. I believe her undeniable

intelligence can make up for her lack of a graduation certificate,” the chief interviewer declared, his

statement prompting the other interviewers to ease their attitudes toward Ariana.

Grateful for the man’s kind words, Ariana gazed at him appreciatively.

But the chief interviewer’s teasing tone made Ariana’s cheeks flush with embarrassment as he queried,

“I noticed on your resume that you are married, Ms. Edwards. Such a young bride you are, indeed.”

Ariana, sensing the unexpected shift in the chief interviewer’s mood, murmured, “Yes.”

“You must have found your true love,” he commented with a sigh, prompting another inquiry. “May I ask

what your husband does?” Ariana was stunned for a while. The man cleared his throat awkwardly and

explained,

“We require some information about the families of our employees. It’s part of the process.”

Not wanting to divulge Theodore’s identity, Ariana hesitated for a moment, and then responded

casually, “He is currently jobless and stays at home.”

“Ha…” The chief interviewer guffawed loudly, and Ariana felt her cheeks flame up with fury.

Her face twisted in fury and she felt deeply insulted by the chief interviewer’s ridicule of Theodore’s

employment status.

Her perception of the interviewer who was once charming and friendly rapidly deteriorated, plummeting

to an unprecedented low.

“Is that funny?” Her voice now icy, Ariana challenged the man’s mockery of Theodore. Despite

Theodore’s reputation as a difficult man, he was her spouse and she would not allow anyone to belittle

him.

The chief interviewer cleared his throat and backtracked, realizing his faux pas “I’m sorry for making

you uncomfortable. I just think you deserve better since you’re an accomplished woman yourself.”

Ariana was seething with anger as she stood up, her body language as stiff as a board. The warm

politeness she had previously displayed had morphed into hostility as she grabbed her bag and glared

at the chief interviewer. “It’s my privacy,” she snapped, her voice cold as ice. “It has nothing to do with

you. Is the interview over? If you don’t have anything else to ask, I’ll take my leave.”

Without waiting for his response, Ariana stormed toward the door of the room, determined to put the

embarrassing interview behind her.

But she was soon halted in her tracks as the chief interviewer caught up with her, thrusting his business

card into her hand.

“Ms. Edwards, I’m sorry for what I said,” he said apologetically. “In fact, I appreciate someone as

capable as you. If you need any help in the future, don’t hesitate to contact me.”

As the chief interviewer scurried away, his shoulders were still convulsing in apparent mirth.

Ariana stood there, perplexed by the man’s odd behavior, clutching the business card that was handed

to her. With a furrowed brow, she muttered to herself, “Adrian Perkins? Vice president of the BRD

Group? What kind of people work here?”
