Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle by Heap Heap

Chapter 864 Have You Offended Anyone?
The next three months passed in the blink of an eye.
The growth of Brilliant Architectural Design LLC, Bianca's company, was on track. Other than her, Sue and Nina were also in the
company.
Bianca's designs were spectacular, and she treated every client with equal respect. Moreover, she remained in contact with
many clients from the time she was the CEO of T Corporation, and Sue and Nina had many contacts of their own. The company
was swamped by projects ever since it started operating.
The company made a profit in less than three months of operation, and it had to hire new employees to keep up with the
workload.
Bianca and Nina went to a few prestigious academies to scout for prospective employees. TO their disappointment, most of the
graduates were boastful with their abilities, and they demanded a high salary despite having no work experience.
She posted job listings on several recruitment websites to hire some experienced employees.
While Bianca was working in her office one day, the receptionist knocked on her door. "Ms. Rayne, this is the resume of our
interviewee today. Her name is Shireen Williams, and she has just graduated from university. I think she is quite outstanding,
please take a look."
Bianca nodded. She read through her resume and her design portfolio.
She was quite excited. ’Ask her in."
The receptionist did so.
Soon, a young woman in her early twenties entered Bianca's office.
She had short hair, a serene face, and clear eyes. She seemed quite thin, but she had a naturally refreshing demeanor. Bianca
instantly had a good impression of her.
"Nice to meet you." The young woman was visibly surprised when she saw Bianca. Perhaps she did not expect that the general
manager of the company was a young woman as well.

Bianca was dressed in dark-colored office clothes that exposed her neck. Her hair was braided behind her so that her face and
her pearl ear studs were uncovered. She seemed like a gentle woman, but Shireen felt pressured by Bianca's penetrating gaze.
"Please have a seat, Ms. Williams." Bianca pointed at the chair on the other side of her desk. "I see that you have a master's
degree in architectural design from Capital University, and your results are excellent."
Bianca's genuine smile made the young woman feel relieved.
Her tightly clenched fists relaxed.
However, when Bianca mentioned her name, she became nervous once more.
She had applied for a job at several other companies, but they rejected her instantly when they saw her name.
Shireen had asked her interviewers why that was the case.
Those people only shook their heads and returned her resume to her. "I am sorry to say that we cannot hire you, and we are
unable to tell you the reasons why. Please leave."
Shireen felt her hope fading away. If bigger companies refused to hire her, chances were that the young general manager in front
of her would do the same.
She held tightly onto the CV in her hands, crumpling its corners.
Bianca noticed Shireen's changed mood, and her eyes returned to Shireen's resume. "Ms. Williams, you have been the top
scorer of your cohort every year for the four years you were in the degree program, and you have As and A+s for your associate
course. You have won the special award of the National Undergraduate Design Competition for two consecutive years, and even
more awards while you were pursuing your master’s degree. You have also published several highly-acclaimed articles in SCI
and El. You are an outstanding individual, Ms. Williams. I'm wondering why you'd apply to a small company like us."
Shireen looked at her and hesitated. It's because... I can't find a job anywhere else." "If your achievements in your resume and
your design portfolio are genuine, that shouldn't have been the case." Bianca inspected her carefully, trying to discern any
changes in her expression.
Shireen smiled dryly and shook her head. ‘Don't worry. I didn't not fake my resume, but I don't know why no company wants to
hire me. I've lost count of the number of companies I applied to. It's either they don't give me a reply or the interviewer would tell

me that I'm underqualified..." "Have you offended anyone?" Bianca thought for a while and asked. She guessed from her
experience that it must be the case.
Shireen must have offended someone important and influential. Otherwise, there was no reason that she could not find a job.
"My social circle is very small. I usually stay at home and study, and I've never fallen foul with anyone. I can't imagine offending
anyone." Shireen thought for some time but remained clueless.
Bianca was not going to pry into her personal life. She browsed through Shireen's CV once more and smiled brightly. "If that's
the case, would you like to start your career in our company? It's not very big, and we've only just started, but I believe you'll
enjoy working here."
Shireen's jaw dropped in disbelief. "Are you sure? Am I hired?"
Bianca nodded sheepishly. "Yes, I would like to hire you. Our company has just started operations, so we can't afford to pay a lot
yet. Your salary in the probationary period will be $2,500, and after that, it'll be $3,000 with commission and meal allowance.
We'll pay for your insurance and 401K, but we don't provide accommodation."
Shireen jumped up from the chair like an excited child. "No, Ms. Rayne, I'm grateful that you're willing to hire me. The salary isn't
low at all. I'll do my best here!" "Alright. Welcome!" Bianca stood up and shook hands with Shireen.
Bianca did not know that she had hired a design genius for her company. In years to come, Shireen would grow Brilliant Design's
reputation into one of the top architectural design firms in the country.
Of course, that would be a story for another time.
Bianca stayed back to work overtime. At nine o'clock, she realized that Nina was still in her seat.
As she worked on her laptop, the illumination from the screen shone on her slightly pale face.
Design drafts were scattered all over her desk. Nina rested her head on her hand while drawing a design. She seemed to be
worried about something...
