FULL NOVELXO Chapter 9 They Met Again
Karl came to take Ann to dinner. They also went to pick up Nikki at Betty's place on the way.
Karl and Ann were in silence for a while on the way. Being turned down by the Moore Group was a big blow to Karl.
Ann tried to comfort him, "Karl, it doesn't matter. With your ability, you will definitely find a better company."
Karl forced a smile. Just as he was about to speak, he received a phone call.
"Mr. Karl Jobson, congratulations. You have passed the interview. Please come to the Quelch Law Firm the day after tomorrow."
"Okay. I will definitely be there on time. Thank you very much for informing me!" Karl immediately went blank, his hands trembling.
He studied law abroad, but a top law firm like the Quelch usually would not hire a green hand like him.
In fact, he would get more opportunities to have practical experiences by working for the Quelch Law Firm than by working as an ordinary assistant in the Moore Group! "Karl, congratulations! That's great news!"
Hearing that Karl got a job in the Quelch Law Firm, Ann felt delighted from the bottom of her heart, but she felt a bit sorry for herself because it seemed that she had to try getting an interview opportunity from a different company.
However, just as Karl hung up his phone, Ann's phone rang again.
"Miss Ann, would you please reconsider our job offer? In the Moore Group, you can get top-class salaries in the country and room for promotion. I just made an exception for you and asked the company to give you a regular employee offer. Please don't reject us again."
The HR manager begged Ann immediately after Ann picked up the phone. The HR manager was quite unlucky because she had never seen anyone reject an offer from the Moore Group.
Since Karl had also got a job, Ann found it difficult to let the poor HR manager down again.
After all, the Moore Group was a great company, and it was situated especially close to the Quelch Law Firm.
"Ann... You could have got a job in the Moore Group, and you turned it down for me..."
Karl had heard everything the HR manager had said, and he gently held Ann into his embrace.
He had mixed emotions in his heart. He understood that Ann had almost given up the offer from the Moore Group for him.
"Isn't everything great now? We're not too far apart after all."
Ann smiled and thought that she was really lucky today.
On her first day in the Moore Group, Ann was assigned to the Research and Development Department to work under a senior member, Erika Laurence.
Although the Moore Group had just started with perfume research and development, it had made the recruitment requirements extremely high. It had only hired Ann among all the interviewees this time. Ann's mission today was to bottle the fragrance in the sample room.
The task of bottling the fragrance was not difficult for Ann, but the process required patience and time.
Ann became highly focused after she got into her stride.
When she tried to get a sample overhead, she had to use a ladder. As she was climbing it, she muttered to herself, 'Nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, fennel.'
However, she did not notice that the door of the sample room had been pushed open again.
Phillip walked in and quietly stood behind her. He slightly raised his dark eyes which were full of emotions to look at Ann who was taking samples out. Compared to five years ago, the girl in front of him was more mature in her shape now. Her slender waist and long legs made her into a delicious peach. She had completely turned from an ignorant young girl to a woman with unique charm.
As Ann took out the last ingredient, fennel, and put it into the bottle, some of the fennel slipped and was spilled.
She instinctively lowered her head to look. Suddenly, a pair of big hands caught the falling spice and raised it to her chest.
She was so startled that she trembled. She let out a scream and almost fell off the ladder.
Phillip reacted quickly. He stretched out his arms and tried to hold Ann in his arms. However, the impact force caused by the girl's fall took him down, too. The moment they almost touched the floor, Phillip turned over to let his body fall to the floor first.
He cared too much about Ann, so he held her tight.
Phillip only felt that the body in his arms was really soft, and he even ignored the pain in his back.
Both of them froze.
