Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby

Chapter 71: A Leader without Ambition

Lily was the first to break the silence in the room. "Her academic results are good. But she has mostly worked in retail. Boss, you seemed unusually eager to recruit her. Why?"

Eleanor leaned back slightly in her chair and replied calmly, "She was a salesgirl at Louis Vuitton just a few days ago. During her time there, she received several sales awards. But she lost her job because she stood up for me against a spoiled rich girl."

"She stood up for you?" Teresa raised an eyebrow in curiosity.

Eleanor nodded. "Yes. That rich girl didn’t take that small episode lightly. She not only got her fired but also blacklisted her from other retail stores in the city. Luckily, I saw her washing cars at the gas station. After that, I looked into her background."

She paused before continuing, "I discovered her educational qualifications were solid. But her family situation was bad enough that she had to earn cash by washing cars. That’s when I decided to send someone to her home and invite her here."

"If she proves herself capable, you can make her your assistant," she added, glancing at Lily.

Teresa gave a short chuckle. "So... this is your version of humanitarian recruitment."

"You could say that," Eleanor said without emotion. "Lily, call the recruitment office and have her sign all the necessary paperwork today. Also, make sure they provide her an advance on her salary."

"Understood, Boss," Lily replied. She took out her phone and typed a detailed message, sending it promptly to the HR department.

Once that was done, Eleanor looked up. "You may go now. Teresa, is Juliette at her office?"

"Yes," Teresa replied. "She came in early today."

"Good. Send her to my office."

"Right away." Teresa stood and left the room with Lily and Maya.

As the door closed behind them, Eleanor opened her laptop. Her fingers moved swiftly as she began reviewing and clearing her pending files. A few minutes later, there was a soft knock at the door.
