“Our spokesperson search has exploded online, with over a hundred thousand applicants in just three days!” Hayley said. “Henry and the HR team started in–person interviews two days ago across eighteen locations, but there are too many participants. We’re going to do an initial screening of one thousand candidates based on their online profiles”

At the morning meeting, Hayley and the core project management team took the launch of this new product very seriously. Quality control and the selection of spokespersons were top priorities.

Behind her, Henry, an HR manager clutching a stack of papers, rushed to catch up. “Ms. Isaac, please hold on a sec”

“It is indeed about the preliminary selection, but please take a look at this list first.” Henry anxiously said.

She stopped the elevator, giving him a moment to hand over the open casting call list. Hayley quickly scanned it, lecturing her subordinate as she did.

I know some of the big shots from Vincent’s team can be a pain, but these open calls are mostly for show. We’ll just pick one of them who’s easy to work with in the end…

Hayley’s voice trailed off as her face hardened. She furrowed her brow, eyes locked on a name on the list. “Stephanie is in the list?

Henry’s expression was also complicated as he replied, “I’ve double–checked it. It’s definitely her.”

At first, he thought it was just a coincidence, but curiosity got the better of him. He looked it up, and what he found made his jaw drop.
