Cupid's Arrow hit me hard!

Chapter 301

Chapter 301 “I’ll leave you to your work then.

” Grandma May did not take up too much of her grandson’s time.

After the phone call, Zachary put his phone on the desk and leaned back against his black swivel chair while resting his right elbow against the arm of the chair for his hand to brush his chin.

His chin felt prickly.

It was time to shave.

Elisa and his wife were getting on well.

Should he figure out a way to wreck their relationship? The girls would become best friends at this rate.

Elisa was bound to find out that Serenity was her love rival when Zachary spilled the beans to Serenity about his identity.

Rage would drive Elisa to take it out on Serenity since the former would not be able to let it go.

With Zachary around, he would not allow Elisa to harm Serenity.

Zachary contemplated for a while before giving up on that thought.

He was not someone who could not protect his wife.

Why should he be scared of Elisa? The girls should bond as they liked.

It would only do Serenity good to hit it off with Elisa.

At least, Elisa would go to bat for her.

People would think it was Elisa who was running things behind the scene instead of him.

It aided his purpose to remain incognito.

Zachary refused to admit that he had no control over Serenity’s circle of friends.

“I’m sorry.

The way you carry yourself doesn’t go with our brand.

You might want to look elsewhere.

” Before Liberty could sit down, the female interviewer with a slender figure handed Liberty her resume back while giving Liberty a look of disdain.

Dumbstruck at first, Liberty soon turned flushed as she took her resume from the woman.

Out of the many interviews she had, this interviewer was the most blunt to say her appearance was not befitting their vacant post.

She was only applying for an administrative clerk position in the finance department.

As someone who had made it to a directorial position, Liberty had set her sights low but she was still rejected.

Crunching her resume, Liberty forced a smile and asked the interviewer, “Can I ask why my image isn’t what the company is looking for?” The woman stared at her thick waistline and replied, “Since you asked, I’m going to be honest.

Although we don’t have high expectations for the clerks in finance more than we have for receptionists, look at you.

You must be at least two hundred pounds heavy.

I bet you struggle to walk at that weight.

How could you pig yourself out?” C Liberty went red in the face.

A while later, she asked in anticipation, “I will keep up with the weight loss.

Miss, I really need a job.

Can you give me a chance? I have the experience to handle the job well.

” It seemed nowadays people on a job hunt were fat–shamed.

“It’s your business to lose weight.

We only have one vacancy, but there are many applicants who are far better than you.

We have so many people to choose from.

” Sure, the fat woman was a finance director and had more than enough experience, but she had been out of work for years.

Plus, she had a two–year–old at home.

Who knew if the fat woman was going to have a second child? Maybe the fat woman would get pregnant a couple of months into the job.

The company would not be able to dismiss her and be left to pay for her maternity leave.

Besides, there were many applicants after any position in Lewis & Co.

It was not like the company could not fill the position as they were not short of talented candidates.

The interviewer had no relation to the fat woman, so the former had no obligation or need to hire the latter.

Liberty knew that the interview was a bust.

She could not hold back at the thought that the woman rejected her for her size.

Liberty said, “Your company won’t last long with employees like you who judge people by their appearances.

“Yes, I’m fat, but who’s to say fat people can’t work? You’re making it out like it’s a beauty contest when you’re hiring for a clerical position.

Fine.

Have it your way.

I don’t care. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

” Having been put in her place, the woman grew furious and pointed at the door while snapping at Liberty, “You fat cow! Get out of here! So what if I think you’re fat? So what if I refuse to hire you?”
