Mistaken Match Marrying the Enigmatic CEO

Chapter 48
Terence Group was the leading enterprise in
Yeringham. Therefore, every office worker wanted to
join the company.
Emmanuel casually flipped through a few resumes
while submitting his. He realized a majority of the
applicants had a bachelor’s degree from either local or
international universities. There were even
postgraduates who applied for the position.
This is ridiculous! It’s just an errand–boy position, and
the benefits aren’t that great. Still, it attracted so many
talented people to apply for it. Looks like many want to use this position as their steppingstone to join Terence
Group.
As compared to theirs, Emmanuel’s resume was not as
impressive, and his skills were not a match.
When he placed his resume down, he heard a familiar
voice.
“Haha! Even an illiterate person wants to join Terence
Group. He’s totally building castles in the air.”
Emmanuel turned around to find the voice belonged to

Milani’s brother, Jacob.
Although Jacob was like a ruffian, he had a bachelor’s
degree. Hence, he wanted to try his luck in Terence
Group.
If he got accepted, he could work together with Milani.
Jacob’s words invoked hushed discussions among the
young people in the precinct.
“Haha! A high school graduate is joining in the fun,
eh?”
“Don’t make fun of others. Perhaps he just returned
from serving in the army.”
“He should just apply for the security guard position
with his qualifications. Why bother wasting everyone’s
time?”
Emmanuel looked impassive on the outside when he
heard their comments. Deep down, a myriad of
emotions was brewing in his heart.
Truth was, he did not choose to join the army because
he did not do well in school. Guarding the front lines
and protecting the country had been something the

men in the Lowe family had been doing.
In fact, his father died at a young age because he
sacrificed himself for the nation.

If not for the mistake he made at Northern Region,
Emmanuel would not have returned to Yeringham with
a grudge. And now, his resume was nothing compared
to the others.
What he did not expect was that he actually passed
the first interview by just submitting his resume.
On top of that, he spotted another familiar face while
waiting in the lounge for his final interview.
“Mom? Why are you here?” Emmanuel called out.
Jacob and the others, who were staring at him just
now, whispered among themselves, “Not only is he a high school graduate, but he brought his mother
along, too.”
“This is really crazy and embarrassing!”
“Hmph. Is he trying to get hired with such
qualifications? Dream on.”
Emmanuel’s fury intensified when he heard the crowd’s

comments. However, he could not be bothered to
entertain them. He quickly made his way to Alessandra
and asked, “Mom, shouldn’t you be resting in the ward?
Why are you here?”
Alessandra originally wanted to hide from him, but
now that Emmanuel had approached her, she could only sigh and explain, “You didn’t give your wife a betrothal gift, nor did you
buy anything for her. Now, you’re even borrowing money from her. It makes me feel really uncomfortable. Anyway, I heard
they’re hiring cleaners here, and the benefits are better than in most other places. That’s why I’m here.”
Emmanuel’s heart clenched when he heard that.
In the past, he was not interested in money at all.
Recently, he began to understand the pain of not
having money.
His mother was already fifty–seven years old, yet she
still had to work with her sick body for his marriage.
Jacob snickered when he heard their conversation.
“Do they really think this will work?”
“They’re just wasting their time.”
“Terence Group is not a charity organization. You guys
should stop wasting your time.”
The young people around them thought the duo was
just putting on a show to gain sympathy. How

embarrassing.
Just then, a woman dressed in professional attire
asked loudly, “Is Alessandra Cadigan still here?”
“Yes! I’m here!” Alessandra quickly raised her hand and
hurried over while suppressing the pain in her body.
“You’ve been accepted. You may come to work the day
after tomorrow.”
“Huh? Okay. Thank you! Thank you so much!”
Alessandra thanked profusely.
Meanwhile, Jacob was at a loss for words.
The mouths of the young people around were opened wide, even though they did not know what position she
was interviewed for.
Never did they imagine an old woman like her could get hired by a leading enterprise.
