Chapter 175 Do you want to stand here till night

Elly was dumbfounded by the driver's three words and squinted at Alex.

She went with him to pick up secretary Gerald, as he used limping as an excuse to make her drive him around. It was tiring to run errands with him when he is unwilling to tell her the truth.

Putting Alex aside, she is full of worries about Gerald's health. "Why did you leave the hospital so soon? Are you really recovering well?"

He didn't seem to be weak at all!

When Elly was only worried about talking to Secretary Gerald, Alex once again felt jealous of nonsense, and it was rude of him to push Gerald into the car. "Do you want to stand here till night?"

Secretary Gerald was unable to laugh or cry and realized that his boss was complaining again.

After locking people in the back seat, Alex looked at Elly, ready to make a sound. "Why are you standing there so stupid? Drive a car!" With that, he sat in the passenger seat and slammed the door.

Watching the heavy door close, Elly's eyebrows frowned and she muttered to herself in a low voice. 'Safe and sound, what kind of madness? It's really great to drive a beautiful car, isn't it? Just yell.'

Through the window, he saw Elly muttering to herself, through the rearview mirror to see Alex's stewed face, Secretary Gerald shook his head and surrendered. With his cold character, venomous tone, and the owner's clumsy trade-off behavior, there was still a long way to go to catch up with Elly.

Due to Gerald's problems, Alex told him not to go back to work, but also to keep the news of his return secret.

Elly took Gerald back to his house first then dropped off Alex at his place. When they were about to get out of the car, Alex stopped her.

In his eyes are full of questions, Alex asked kindly "Aren't you looking for a job? It will be inconvenient and time-consuming on the subway. Take this car for the interview."

"Drive this car to the interview?" Elly asked with a stare.

Alex was dissatisfied with the problem and arrogant. "What's wrong with my car? Do you think it is too old or too extravagant? Isn't it easier to drive? Or do you hate using my stuff? What crime did the car commit? You hate it, huh?"

"I only said one word, you even hit the clockwork, it's too hard!"

"Well, if you feel disdain, I won't say too much!"

"You misunderstood me." Elly shrugged and explained patiently. "I'm looking for a job. If you let me drive this limousine, and there's a company that wants to hire me? I'm an employee, not a boss like you."

This time Elly was silent and made no rebuttal. Looking at his soft face, she threw the key back and got out of the car. "I'll come back by myself. Don't follow me."

Sitting in the car, watching Elly's figure-skimming across the windshield in front of him, Alex's eyes became complicated.

He didn't know what had happened to him recently. He longed to be by her side all the time, and even a simple breakfast in silence was enough to make him fly around excitedly. But every time she opened her mouth, how many bad words are poured into him all the time.

"Ms. Elly, what kind of magic do you have? Why can't I erase your image from my mind after so many years?" With his mouth down, Alex leaned back in his chair, searching for the answer over and over again.

Elly suddenly sneezed and rubbed her nose. As a result of accidentally bowing her head, she met someone else on the road.

"I'm sorry." Elly apologized again and again, and she looked up. At the same time, the other party also looked back, the two said. "Is that you?"

Elly looked at the girl in a dark blue dress in surprise, her eyes turned. "Linda Peart! I haven't seen you for years. How can you be as charming as a model?"

"How can I compare with you?" Over the years, he has not grown old, he is still full of vitality, full of youthful breath, which was equivalent to a college student.

The mutual praise of the two made the atmosphere complicated and confusing, and Linda Pert was unrestrained and curious to know immediately, "I heard you got married. Really?"

Elly smiled awkwardly and shook her head. She couldn't tell everyone that she was married and divorced. She also felt flustered after listening to it.

Linda patted her chest complacently when she shook her head. "I knew the rumors weren't true. You are so beautiful, why do you want to get married early and have children? When you plan to get married, let me introduce you to a group of wealthy single men who are free to choose."

"You act like a single, rich man, waiting for someone else to pick up things." Elly laughed happily and followed the jokes of her old friends. Linda Pert still witty, friendly, and warm, just like when she was in college, which made her very nostalgic.

Linda happened to see Elly's job application. She was afraid that her friends would be unhappy, so she asked in a low voice. "Are you looking for a job?"

With a bang, Elly did not evade. When she went downstairs, she had breakfast with Alex. Did she take the whole job application in hand and planned to continue her job-hunting journey today?

It was a little difficult to find a suitable job. I interviewed several companies and was turned down.

"Where did you work before? What position? What's your major?"

Elly hesitantly applied for the job of an assistant, deputy secretary, and design director.

"Are you coming to my company? My boss is looking for a secretary and the salary is very attractive."

Instead of letting Elly answer in time, Linda Pert affectionately put her arm around her hand and forced her to go to her own company. Make an introduction to the company as you walk.

At first, Elly wanted to reject Linda's kindness, but when she knew it was a well-known film and television company in the entertainment industry, she wanted to give it a try.

Standing in front of the Swiss film and television company building, people who have failed many times, such as Elly, lack confidence. She asked Linda carefully. "I didn't even submit an application to your company for an interview in person. Can I come in? Anyway, it's the rule."

"The rules are just letters. Our boss is kind and generous, you are especially recommended to me, of course, this is different from the general interview candidates. Don't worry, I helped, and the back door was 100% successful."

The encouragement of old friends injected more courage into Elly, and they walked into the company together.

On the way to meet many employees, everyone paid New year's greetings to Linda and Elly found that her friend's status was not low. She put down her voice of curiosity.

"For example, what position do you hold in the company? What is professional knowledge? Why is everyone so polite to you?"

"I am the manager, and I have some artists below me, so I have a wide range of contacts."

While talking, Linda took Elly to the boss's office. After the knock at the door, there was a firm voice. Come on, come on.

When Linda tried to push the door in, Elly stopped her. She arranged her clothes and nodded. The two went into the room together.

"Mr. Baudelaire."

Linda's deafening voice resounded throughout the room. the 50-year-old middle-aged man shook his hands and dropped his pens, bumped into the pen tubes, threw them on the floor, roared past, and rolled everywhere.

Elly reacted quickly and bent down to pick up sundries dropped on the ground.

Jacob Barracks found Linda Pert, who entered the room, holding his forehead and blaming him. "All right, I'll tell you what, ah-like, can't you whisper when you see me? Sooner or later, my heart will be scared away."

Linda stuck out her tongue and smiled shyly. "Mr. Cornell is in good health. Don't worry."

Jacob Barracks looked at the people sitting on the ground picking up things a little strange, unlike the people in the company. "What's this?"

"Sir, this is my friend who came to apply for a secretary."

Elly just picked up all the pens from the floor and put them on his desk. She introduced herself confidently with a smile. "Hello, my name is Elly."

Jacob nodded gladly and praised, "The other applicants were very suitable to be secretaries. But why does your name sound familiar?"

Elly remembers that when she was in Alex's company, she once appeared in entertainment news articles, and Jacob Barracks did not sound strange.

She reacted quickly and whispered hastily. "Maybe it's because my name is too big, so many people sound boring."

Jacob felt reasonable and didn't care. He looked at her from top to bottom, then got Linda's wink, and decided with a satisfied face. "You will come to work tomorrow as secretary to the chairman."

"Thank you, Boss Jacob!" Elly said firmly and then came back to see Linda with a thumbs up to thank her.
