C5 There Was a Date in the Afternoon

Estrella's eyes were still drowsy. She casually touched the phone beside her pillow and said, "Hello."

"It's already noon, and the little lazy pig is still sleeping?" A clear and urgent male voice came from the receiver. "We have a date this afternoon, did you forget?" Taylor was not angry, and his tone was even a little teasing.

Estrella sat up and almost forgot that she still had a boyfriend who was gentle and a little manly.

He was often very busy and would not see anyone for a few days. However, he was very gentle. Every time he appeared in such a situation, he would give her a small gift as a form of compensation.

"We've already made an appointment. Come home with me this afternoon. Did you forget?" Taylor really wanted to bring her home. Ever since they were in college, he had been thinking of ways to bring her to see her parents, but he had never succeeded.

Before Taylor knew it, the parents of the Byrne family had already met with her. The content of their conversation was obvious.

The Byrne family's family background was not bad, and Taylor's parents had high standards. Every time they mentioned wanting to see their parents, Estrella always felt that she would be humiliated, so she had been dragging it out until now.

Now that a few years had passed, she could no longer find a reason to refuse, so she agreed.

She had almost forgotten about the incident last night. She was stunned and did not know how to start the conversation. Taylor knew that she had really forgotten about it.

He was not angry. "Now get up and dress up. We still have time."

Estrella paused and explained, "Aimee got into a car accident yesterday and is in the hospital. I have to go to the hospital to accompany her."

The other end of the phone was silent for a long time. She noticed that Taylor was a little unhappy, but he still maintained his gentlemanly demeanor and said, "I'll send you there."

Estrella could not refuse and nodded in agreement.

If she refused again, Taylor would probably really go all out with her. No one knew how serious Taylor was with her better than her.

Taylor hurriedly tidied himself up and went downstairs to wait for her. The two of them went to the hospital together and talked to Chang Xiao for a long time. After confirming that they did not get into a car accident and that their brains and bodies were not damaged, they were relieved.

Estrella and Aimee had a good relationship, but many things were not good to say in front of outsiders. While she was thinking about how to send Taylor away, a phone call made her go away.

The resume she submitted a few days ago had responded and asked her to go for an interview.

Estrella, who had received the call, was excited. "I have to go for an interview this afternoon. I'll be leaving first!"

Taylor grabbed her arm and sighed. He really did not understand why his delicate girlfriend would always reject his help and insisted on finding a job for him. "Why is there a need to be so troublesome? I told you before that you can be my assistant. Isn't it good for us to work together?"

Estrella shook her head and smiled, "Will you get tired of being with me every day? What if you don't like me after I get attached to you? I can't bear such a huge loss."

Taylor didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He poked her soft little face as a punishment, "I really don't understand what is in your little brain. Thinkers are never on the same wavelength as normal people."

"Ai, I'm just thinking about our future." Estrella sighed deeply and said seriously.

She was half-truthful and half-true. The first half was a joke because Taylor was not the kind of man who would change his mind. The second half was from the bottom of her heart. She liked Taylor, but her unlucky background could not give her enough courage to stand side by side with him.

In the eyes of the Byrne family, she was one head lower than Taylor. If Taylor helped her again, the family would think that she was taking advantage of him and would be looked down upon. It would be even harder for the family to accept her.

"I have to work hard and become so awesome. You won't be so tired." Her eyes were bright.

She had to rely on her own efforts to reach a level that satisfied the people of the Byrne family. Only then would the people of the Byrne family accept her.

Taylor was amused and did not have the mood to investigate further. He sent Estrella back home to change her clothes and then sent her to the interview company.

The joy on her face was written all over her face. A row of neat white teeth flashed under the sunlight, showing her good mood. She waved at Taylor and happily walked into the building.

Taylor raised his head and looked at the bright and golden signboard on the building. He could not help but worry for Estrella.

An Ning was one of the companies under the Hawkins brand, mainly in the field of online sales. Hawkins Real Estate started out as a small company, but it quickly rose to prominence. The company had developed to the point where it was basically involved in every industry. Many people thought that Hawkins was only able to cover the sky with one hand in Fallkirk, but they didn't know that he had already secretly extended his hand to the international stage.

The strength of Hawkins was obvious to everyone. Thus, the company had very high requirements for its employees. Every employee had a high mobility. Such a company would have a competitive environment.

The place where the competition was fierce would inevitably be full of schemes and intrigue.

Estrella was smart and capable, but she was too innocent. Even if she passed the interview, it was still a question whether she could survive in such a company.

Taylor was not overly worried. It was not yet Star's turn to interview, but she had been tripped in the waiting room. She was in so much pain that she wanted to cry.

There were quite a few people who had come to participate in the interview today, and nearly half of them were sitting in the spacious waiting room.

Estrella looked around and saw that all the people who came for the interview today were beautiful girls. Some were applying makeup, and some were admiring themselves in the mirror. She was not surprised. She stared at a gentle and dignified-looking girl for a long time. After a long time, she could not help but say, "All the girls who came for the interview today are women. Don't you think it's strange that you didn't see any male animals?"

The beauty was about to smile at her, but the smile froze on her face. Her gaze on Estrella became strange. "An Ning is a new company of the Hawkins Group. CEO Ling comes here to inspect very often. And many of the senior executives here are gold bachelors transferred from the headquarters of the Hawkins Group!"

Estrella smacked her lips. She had only submitted her resume after seeing the good benefits of this new company. She did not expect that there would be such an insider story behind it.

"It's good to come here to celebrate since you can't get into the headquarters of the Hawkins Group." The beauty looked expectant. It was as if a gold single man would fall on her in the next second.

Estrella was stunned.

The beauty's eyes were like a wild beast that had been starved for a long time.

She did not expect that this gentle beauty would have such a ferocious look. It seemed that Mr. Hawkins' charm was as strong as yuan! She hoped that Mr. Hawkins' face was not as strong as the yuan.

The beauty's gaze instantly became disdainful, "Don't say that you came here with such an attitude?"

Estrella choked. This attitude? Looking at handsome guys? Or, seducing her superior?

She shook her head honestly and expressed her innocence, "I have a boyfriend."
