Cornelia felt like she just wanted to disappear off the face of the earth She buried her face in her pillow, squealing
in embarrassment.
Cornelia got a grip on herself and dialed Tahlia. The call was picked up almost immediately Cornelia said, “Tahlia, I
want you to come with me somewhere.”
Tahlia responded, “I have something to discuss with you. I’ve landed a job at The Hartley Group”
Cornelia was surprised, “Weren’t you supposed to work with Bri? Why did you apply to The Hartley Group?”
Tahlia explained, “I saw they were hiring last night and just sent my resume on a whim. Everyone knows Hartley
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGroup’s hiring process is cutthroat with most applicants getting the boot. I didn’t hold my breath. This morning, I
got a call from their HR department for an interview at 10. They just skimmed through my resume, asked some
basic questions, then told me I was hired”
Knowing how competitive The Hartley Group was and how high their salaries were, it was a shock to Cornelia that
Tahlia got in after just one round of interviews. It must have been her exceptional skills that caught their eye.
Thinking about how ba da ss her sister was, Comelia was thrilled, “I knew you were talented, but not this talented. I
had to go through several rounds of gruelling interviews and tests, scoring top marks each time, before I got hired”
Tahlia remarked, “I also find it too good to be true. I suspect they may have given me preferential treatment
because we share the same surname.”
Cornelia laughed, “I’m just an assistant at The Hartley Group. It’s a big deal if someone even praises me to my
face, let alone pay special attention to me. You got this job on your own merit. It has nothing to do with me.”
Tahlia replied, “Who said it has nothing to do with you? The person who interviewed me even mentioned you. He
said it’s no big deal if I don’t know the ropes of secretarial work, you can teach me.”
Cornelia was stunned, “Did you tell the interviewer that you’re my sister?”
Tahlia replied, “No. They said the only open position was in the secretarial department and recommended I start
there. They said I can transfer to the financial department when a vacancy opens up.”
It was strange that a person with no background in secretarial work was placed in the executive secretarial
department. Cornelia asked, “So, have you joined the secretarial department?”
Tahlia replied, “I haven’t decided yet. I told them I’d discuss it with my family first. Do you think I should take this
job? Do you think, I can handle secretarial work?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCornelia answered, “You’re a top graduate from a prestigious university, and basic secretarial work would be a
piece of cake for you. The question is whether you’re interested in the job and if you want to give it a shot.”
Tahlia said, “I want to try. I want to get my foot in the door at The Hartley Group and wait for the right opportunity
to transfer to the department I like.”
Cornelia replied, “If that’s what you want, then go for it. If you have any questions, just ask me. After years of
secretarial work and now being an executive assistant, I know the ropes.”
Tahlia said, “Cornelia,”
Cornelia replied, “Yes?”
Tahlia said, “I’m going to go complete the hiring process now.”
Cornelia replied, “Alright. Once you’re done, meet me at Ma llon. I’m planning to grab a coffee with Clair.”
Tahlia said, “I don’t want to see her. Can I sk ip?”
Cornelia answered, “Of course, you have the right to say no.”
