Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1387: Patricia's choices

"Will you answer the question? Name three people you believe are suited for this role—and give me a proper reason why."

For a moment, silence filled the room. Even the first three applicants couldn't help but sneak glances at Patricia. It wasn't an exaggeration to say they expected her to fail. After all, they all agreed that her answers to the first two questions had been weak-too weak.

Frankly, they had even been shallow.

The same sentiment likely applied to the four panelists conducting the interview. If they were being technical, Patricia was a weak applicant. Even though her resume was heavily embellished, her only real experience amounted to running errands... and a string of failed business ventures.

But then, the corner of Patricia's mouth curled into a confident smile.

"If my first task as the CEO's assistant is to recommend three people to join the team, then my first pick is Teddy Arthur," she answered without hesitation.

Teddy raised a brow in surprise.

"I think he's a brilliant man who notices even the smallest details," Patricia continued. "He's confident and observant. After watching him for a while now, I'm certain he'd be a great addition to the CEO's office. Someone like him is exactly what this company needs."

Teddy held back his reaction, but he couldn't help the small smile that formed. He hadn't expected that from her-but he had to admit, it was nice to hear.

Yugi nodded slightly. "And your next recommendation, Miss Miller?"

Without a second's pause, Patricia pointed to the far end of the room.

"Him! Shawn Lowie!"

Eyebrows lifted all around the room-even Shawn himself. The first applicant blinked in shock and pointed at his own chest.

"Me?" he asked, wide-eyed.

The panelists exchanged glances before turning their attention back to Patricia.

"Miss Miller," Yugi said, "don't tell me you're just going to pick the three men sitting with you?"
