Rosalie let out a long sigh and said, “It’s okay. Don’t worry about me; I’ll accept the real”
“That morning during the interview, I really was late,” she admitted.
of the situation.
“It was my own fault. If I hadn’t gone out to buy some food, I wouldn’t have been late.
“This outcome is a profound lesson for me. I won’t make the same mistake in the future.”
Piper pursed her lips. A glimmer of mockery flickered in her
reyes.
Rosalie shook her head casually and said with a smile, “Alright, let’s not dwell on my problems. Piper, to celebrate your successful entry into the largest company in the city, I’d like to treat you two to dinner tonight.
“This time, it’s on me! No splitting the bill!”
Piper smiled knowingly.
“Haha! Rosalie, forget it. You haven’t even found a job yet; how could you afford to treat us?
“Besides, I don’t have time to have dinner with someone as idle as you.
“I’m starting work tomorrow, and I still have a lot to prepare today.”
Rosalie paused, feeling a bit embarrassed as she stuck out her tongue. “Oh, I’m sorry! I got carried away swith happiness for you and forgot. Let’s wait until you’re free, and I’ll take you out then!”
Piper hesitated, then looked at Rosalie with concern. “Rosalie, you weren’t hired by the Dunn Group, Even if you
find a job at a regular company, the salary won’t be high.
“The rent for the apartment we used to share at Graceview Apartments is expensive. Given your current situation, can you afford to live there?”
Rosalie blushed and said, ‘I–I’ll find a job soon. The rent will not burden you.
Piper smirked dismissively and said, “I mean, even if you find a job, it won’t be anything like the salary from the Dunn Group.
“If you rent a high–end apartment like Graceview, won’t that be a bit of a stretch?”
Rosalie frowned and said, “I’ll see what the salary is like when I get a job before making a decision.”
Piper shook her head, looking impatiently at the clueless Rosalie.
“What I mean is that I’ll post your room for rent online to save you from having to borrow money from me later when you can’t pay the rent.”
“Oh! I see.” Rosalie, taken aback, smiled apologetically.
“Okay, Piper, I’m sorry for causing you trouble.

“The rent at Graceview Apartments really is quite high. Unless you’re working at the Dunn Group, you really shouldn’t be living there.”
Just as they were talking, Piper looked up and saw Amber approaching the human resou She quickly went to greet her.
department.
“Ms. Jenning! Hello! I have good news–I’ve been hired by the company! We’ll be colleagues from now on. so please take care of me.”
Amber paused, nodding. “Oh, alright. Congratulations!”
Noticing Rosalie standing behind Piper, she asked, “Are you Rosalie?”
Piper looked confused.
Before Rosalie could respond, she quickly interjected, Oh, Ms. Jenning, Rosalie has been rejected by the company.”
Rosalie awkwardly nodded and said, “Hello, Ms. Jenning”
“Alright, I understand.” Amber ignored Piper and walked directly to Rosalie. “Please wait a moment; don’t
leave.”
“Huh?” Rosalie was perplexed but agreed, “Okay.”
With that, she turned and entered the director of human resources‘ office.
Piper watched Amber’s back for a while, then turned to Rosalie, displeased. “Do you two know each other?? “No, we didn’t! I’m just a broke student who recently graduated. Ms. Jenning is the president’s assistant at the Dunn Group; how could I know someone so important?” Rosalie shook her head with a bitter smile.
“Then how could she know your name?” Piper stared into Rosalie’s eyes, fearing her friend was lying to
her.
“Piper, you know my background. I really don’t know Ms. Jenning
Piper pondered for a moment and muttered to herself. It was true; Rosalie was a plain girl; she couldn’t possibly have a connection with Amber.
Suddenly, she recalled what Robin had told Rosalie earlier
She chuckled sarcastically and said, “Rosalie, I told you that Robin is a complete fraud, right?!
“He tried to act impressive in front of me, claiming you’d be hired. How ridiculous!
“What’s the situation now? The Dunn Group rejected you!
Rosalie replied as you think.”
helplessly, “Piper, Robin was probably just trying to encourage me; it wasn’t as complicated
Before she could finish, Amber emerged from the human resources director’s office.
As she walked past Rosalie, she handed her a business card with a smile. “Alright, I have other matters to

attend to. We’ll have a chance to sit down and have a chat in the future. Here’s my card.”
Rosalie held Amber’s card, staring at it in a daze.
Why was Ms. Jenning treating her so nicely?

Piper stepped closer. She snatched the card from Rosalie’s hand and scoffed. “Don’t think too much about it; she’s just comforting you for being rejected by the company.”
Rosalie nodded and sighed. “I know, Piper. I wasn’t thinking too much.”
Just then, Rosalie’s phone rang.
“Hello, this is Geneva Booth, the director of human resources at the Dunn Group.
“I’m calling to formally inform you that you have been hired.”
Rosalie was shocked. “Director Booth, are you mistaken? I already received a rejection notice from your company.”
On the other end, Geneva laughed and explained, “That was an error in our computer system. “Our president has reviewed your application materials and approved your hiring.
“You’re provisionally assigned to the Dunn Group’s Eastvale Development Company as the assistant to the director of the Business Strategy Department. Please come immediately to collect your onboarding notice, and fill out the hiring paperwork.”
After hanging up, Rosalie felt like she was in a dream, utterly bewildered.
“I got hired by the Dunn Group? I was appointed as the assistant to the director in the Business Strategy Department.
“What? How is that possible? Rosalie, this must be a prank! An assistant director position comes with a deputy director’s salary.” Piper was stunned. She snatched Rosalie’s phone to check the caller ID.
The number was indeed from the human resources director’s office–no doubt about it.
“What’s going on? You were clearly rejected, so how could you be hired as the assistant director? And starting immediately!”
She immediately pulled Rosalie to the human resources secretary’s office.
Tara Bowman was sorting through Rosalie’s onboarding materials, including her ID badge. Her employee number had already been assigned.
Furious, Piper confronted Tara. “I want to know why Rosalie was rejected and then suddenly hired again. And given such a good position with an associate director’s salary!”
Tara glanced at Piper and smiled lightly. “I’m not sure. The president approves appointments for positions above associate director.
“So, you mean this was a decision made by the president, and someone with our level wouldn’t know the reason behind it?

Piper was practically beside herself with anger.

“They say the Dunn Group has a fair and transparent work environment, but now I see there are so many hidden agendas!”
Tara frowned slightly and said, “Ms. Dawson, if you have questions or concerns, you have two options: one. choose to leave the Dunn Group, and I can process that for you immediately; or two, choose to disobey company assignments, in which case you will be dismissed.
“Which option do you choose?”
Piper instantly fell silent.
“If you have decided not to choose, or if you have any other pressing matters, please leave my office immediately! Tara said sternly. Tara said coldly.
She then handed a stack of documents, an ID badge, and keys to Rosalie. “Ms. Grant, please stay. Once you fill out these materials, you can start right away. Here’s your ID badge and office number.”
“I’m so sorry, Piper. I didn’t expect this,” Rosalie apologized to Piper.
Tara frowned again and said, “Actually, Ms. Grant, it’s entirely appropriate for you to be hired as the director’s assistant to the Business Strategy Department.
“Your application clearly states that during your time in university, you published multiple papers on market strategies in authoritative core journals, receiving unanimous praise from experts both domestically and internationally.
“The president personally selected you, and your talent perfectly fits this position.”
“The president?” Rosalie and Piper said in unison.
