“Um...” Claire is still hesitating. Juan takes a straight turn.
“Don’t hesitate,” he says affirmatively, “I have confidence in your ability. How can a famous designer
who has made a great impact in France be so unsure of herself? I’ll take you directly to the interview
now. With the interview, you can take it with ease.”
“I...” Claire grits her teeth and finally chooses to accept Juan’s offer. She says, “well, thank you, Juan.”
In fact, Claire is more concerned about that she owes Juan another favor. She always makes trouble
for Juan, but she can’t give him anything. That’s what Claire cares about most.
Juan doesn’t know Claire’s inner thoughts. He just wants to be nice to Claire and make her like him.
...
Juan takes Claire to the company he talks about. As soon as they enter the company, someone comes
out to meet them. Juan says he wants Claire to interview for a position as a designer.
That man is Juan’s friend. He seems a little flattered. According to his attitude, he may want to please
Juan. Even though he seems calm and happy that Juan is here, his expression betrays him.
When Juan finishes, he takes Claire to the office. He asks her a few symbolic questions. When he
knows Claire’s brilliant work history in France, he finds that he has got a talent.
He makes Claire the design director without hesitation. He asks pleasantly, “when do you want to
work? You can work whenever you are free!”
Claire usually stays away from her boss at work, which makes her feel independent. Although the boss
is Juan’s friend, she is not used to his enthusiasm.
Juan comforts her, “Michael’s very easy to get along with. If you have doubts, you can ask him directly.”
“Well, I see.” Claire smiles a little grudgingly.
Juan appeases Claire and says a few words to his friend before leaving.
Claire decides to start work today. Her boss takes her to observe the layout of the whole company and
acts as a guide to explain it to her.
Although Claire doesn’t adapt to his enthusiasm, she looks at the company’s employees and
environment and thinks it is good. It deserves to be a design company. Some of the decorations are
very exquisite and have a sense of design.
After they get to know about the company, the boss takes Claire to the office where she works. Claire is
the design director so she should have an independent office. She was used to the environment when
she was in France, so she soon gets used to it. She asks the boss a few questions and soon gets to
work.
Claire has almost mastered it, so the boss is even more ecstatic. He starts his own business and hopes
to recruit a talent. His company is not a small one and he’s met people like Claire.
But Claire is different. She is introduced by Juan! He has to please her anyway!
The boss leaves Claire his personal phone number before he leaves.
Claire breaths a sigh of relief after the boss leaves. For the first time, she is treated like this by a boss,
so she can’t accept it for a while.
Claire is alone in the office to learn about several projects the company has been working on recently.
She finds a big project that the company is working on recently, but no one is able to do it.
Claire goes out and calls for the assistant the boss just recommended to her. When the assistant hears
Claire call her, she walks in carefully and asks politely, “Miss Bennett, what can I do for you?”
Is she so afraid of leadership?
Claire raises her eyebrows and smiles. She says in a relaxed voice, “what’s your name?”
“Alice…” Alice looks nervous. She doesn’t even dare look at Claire.
Seeing this, Claire chuckles. She comes to Alice and says with a smile, “my name is Claire. You are
younger than me. You can call me Claire. You don’t need to be afraid of me. I’m very easygoing. In the
future, I need your help in the company.”
Why is she more like a threat?
Sure enough, hearing Claire’s words, the assistant named Alice shakes slightly. She looks down and
says, “no, I’ll call you Miss Bennett. Miss Bennett, what can I do for you?”
Alice is really a timid girl. Claire doesn’t force her. Hearing her, Claire thinks of the business.
Claire coughs and goes back to her seat to take out the documents she has just seen. She looks at
Alice and asks, “isn’t our company going to do a project called Howard Avenue? Why hasn’t a specific
plan been decided yet? Now even the basic plan has not been formed.”
“Ah, that one.” When Alice hears that Claire is going to talk to her about the work, her tight body
gradually relaxes. She breaths a sigh of relief and walks up to Claire and explains to her, “that project
was decided not long ago. We need to maintain a long-term cooperative relationship with a listed
company. Now we’re going to create an ad design that will satisfy them.”
“Because it was decided a few days ago, it’s not yet in shape. And the last design director went home
to have a baby, so the design department suddenly has no one to come up with an idea...”
Claire understands Alice. She nods and goes into work mode. She says seriously, “I see. What kind of
company is the other party? What products does it focus on?”
“Miss Bennett, wait a minute. I’ll go out and find you some information!” When it comes to work, Alice is
not so afraid. She turns around and runs out of the office. After a while, she comes in with a pile of
information.
Alice puts a file in front of Claire and says respectfully, “Miss Bennett, this is the information about the
company we want to cooperate with and some market research we have done. There is also a plan to
attract the attention of that company. If you think something is wrong, you can modify it again.”
Claire nods. She looks down at the information carefully. But the more she reads about the company,
the more she frowns.
Why is the introduction of this company so familiar and even a bit like Leo’s company?
