Chapter 115
Benjamin's face was still pale and it was obvious that he was still affected by Kingsley's kick yesterday.
He whispered, "It's almost time, Young Master Ethan. Why aren't the people from Coliree Group here yet?"
"Shh!" Ethan motioned for Benjamin to be quiet before he answered in an equally soft voice, "Don't worry. After all, all of us will surely get hired!"
While they were feeling uneasy, the door to the meeting room was slowly pushed open.
Immediately, everyone raised their heads to look at the door and they watched as Kingsley and Keene entered the room.
At this moment, Ethan looked stunned before he exclaimed in shock, "Why are you guys here?"
Truthfully, all twelve of them had panicked for a while after Kingsley left yesterday.
However, they quickly calmed down and decided to lodge a report regarding Kingsley's possession of firearms after they managed to enter Coliree Group.
In Qustia, it was a well-known fact that possession of firearms would land one in jail for at least three years.
Besides, Ethan had already sent Kingsley's 'confession' video to everyone present yesterday. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
He thought that Kingsley would surely leave the industry and never show up again after getting humiliated.
However, he ended up showing up in his glory at such a critical moment.
Benjamin had a disdainful look on his face as he cleared his throat and reprimanded, "Cough... This is Coliree Group's waiting room for job applicants! How can people like you guys trespass into this place?!"
Benjamin loathed Kingsley and he could still feel his body aching after getting kicked by the man yesterday.
At this moment, he was forcing himself to be here to apply for work.
Meanwhile, Noah scratched his neck and chuckled coldly before chiming in, "Well, maybe they're here to apply for a job as security guards. Wouldn't that make them job applicants too?"
Immediately, everyone started laughing.
At this moment, Kingsley walked toward them and took a random chair by the side before sitting on it. He then said to Ethan, "Didn't you ask me yesterday if I had a way to make sure that all of you wouldn't get hired? Let me give you an answer now. Yes, I can definitely make all of you return with nothing!"
"Haha!" Ethan laughed. "Nicholson, do you know where you're at right now? How dare you make outrageous claims like that?!"
Noah chimed in as well, "Exactly! This is Coliree Group! Do you really think that a small fry like you can do whatever you like here? Ignorant little fool!"
Following that, Jay entered the meeting room along with two secretaries. Ethan, Noah, as well as the others quickly went quiet as none of them dared to be impolite in front of Jay.
At that instance, all of them stood up and greeted respectfully, "Good afternoon, Mr. Carter."
Right then, all of their hearts started racing quickly as this was the turning point of their lives—this was the moment where they either got hired or eliminated, after all.
When Jay walked toward them and wanted to say something, he suddenly noticed Kingsley sitting by the side, and he was taken aback.
Why is he here? Is he here to check on our work progress?
At the thought of that, he quickly reported to Kingsley, "This is the hiring—"
Yet, Ethan cut Jay off and snapped at Kingsley before Jay could finish what he wanted to say. "This is an important venue where Coliree Group is carrying out their hiring process! How can someone like you enter this place? Why don't you leave now?!" he bellowed.
Thinking that Jay wanted to question what Kingsley, an unrelated personnel, was doing here, he took it upon himself and shouted at the man, trying to make an impression in front of Jay.
While Ethan felt proud for what he did, Jay's facial expression darkened as Ethan had completely twisted what he was trying to say.
He felt his stomach dropping before he quickly motioned around in Kingsley's direction. "I didn't say that! He's the one who claimed so! I never said anything like this!"
Jay didn't want to cross Kingsley, for the man's identity remained a mystery.
Nevertheless, Kingsley smiled softly. "It's fine. I'm just here to see what kind of talents you guys are planning to hire."
When he heard the word 'talents', Jay felt beads of cold sweat immediately forming on his skin. Isn't he criticizing us for not taking our job seriously?
He licked his dry lips before stuttering, "W-We still haven't decided on our final hiring list-"
After glancing at Ethan and the others, Kingsley asked nonchalantly, "Mr. Carter, I wonder if I have any say in your final hiring list."
"O-Of course!" Jay wiped the sweat on his forehead before he exclaimed respectfully, "You certainly have a say in this. After all, even Vice President Robinson would need to listen to your decision!"
What?!
Everyone in the meeting room was dumbstruck when they heard Jay. Subsequently, their minds started buzzing while they stood rooted to the ground as if they had been placed under a spell.
