Chapter 91 The Interview
“What?”
The men were unhappy. “Mom, you are praising her by belittling us!”
“You are her brothers. So what if I favor her? How come you are jealous of your sister?”
Celia bent down to help Amelie straighten up her slightly wrinkled dress. With a blessed face, Celia then pulled Eden over. “See? Your little girl is so pretty.”
“Indeed. Amelie, you have your mom’s youthful charm.”
Eden nodded and reached out to pull Celia into his arms.
Amelie and her brothers clapped. They were all loyal fans of Eden and Celia as a couple, moved by the couple’s affections.
Everything was ready. Aaron took Amelie to the hotel where the interview would be.
Because of traffic congestion, they arrived ten minutes later than the appointed time.
After handing the car keys to the doorman, Aaron held Amelie’s hand and entered the
hotel banquet room.
“Mr. Mullen! You are finally here!”
The two men who were talking at the door greeted Aaron warmly the second they saw him, saying, “It has been a long time. Shall we play golf sometimes?”
“Sure.”
Aaron nodded with a decent smile on his face.
The two men looked at Amelie. “This is the sister you always talk about, right? It is said
that she runs Starry Sea Entertainment now.”
“Yes. Now that you’ve seen her today, you’ll know what attitude you should be with when you see her again, right?”
The smile on Aaron’s face grew bigger. Having Amelie beside him felt different, and he spoke with a lot more confidence.
“Mr. Mullen’s younger sister is the same as our sister.” The two men laughed heartily,
nodded to Amelie, and then wandered away.
Although Amelie had attended dozens of parties, large and small, formal occasions like
today were rare.
Aaron was worried that Amelie might be a little nervous, and yet Amelie had already taken the initiative to talk to a woman with heavy makeup.
“Ms. Price, it’s nice to see you here.”
“Me too. I’m here with my brother,” Makena Price, who was another guest today, said.
As Amelie and Makena chattered, Aaron was standing straight aside and listening, not
annoyed at all.
It was not until almost half an hour had passed that Amelie suddenly realized that
Aaron had never left her for a second.
After hurriedly saying goodbye to Makena, Amelie pulled Aaron forward. “Aaron, why didn’t you go somewhere else?”
“If I did, you would be left alone. When we got out, Mom asked me to keep an eye on you. What if you get abducted by some bad guy? After all, you are so beautiful.” Aaron
grabbed Amelie’s hand.
Wherever the two passed, there would be low exclamations.
“He’s Mr. Mullen, right? Who is the woman next to him? Is she his wife?”
“Give me a break. When have you heard that Mr. Mullen is married?”
“She should be the daughter of the Mullen family who has been in the limelight recently. Do you know? The one who took over Starry Sea Entertainment.”
“Yes, you’re right! It’s her! Starry Sea Entertainment has been in decline for a long time. She looks so young. Can she bring it back to life?”
Aaron and Amelie had long been used to hearing such discussions.
Long before Amelie got married to Lamont secretly, her brothers would bring her to each important occasion, since they wanted her to call them with her sweet voice in front of others.
Aaron pulled Amelie to the dessert buffet and took a plate himself, asking her what she liked and filling the plate.
“Well, well. Since when did Mr. Mullen have a sweet tooth?”
Amelie looked up and saw a very aggressive–looking woman.
Under her curved eyebrows was a pair of eyes with the ends slightly raised. Her makeup was monochromatic but not monotonous. Her concrete–colored eyeshadow paired with big, dramatic sequins gave her a very aggressive beauty, and Amelie was so attracted that she couldn’t even look away.
As if noticing Amelie’s gaze, the woman looked at Amelie as well.
“Oh, I didn’t see her. Are you here with your sister?”
“Yes. She didn’t eat this morning, so I wanted her to grab a bite before lunch.” Aaron handed the plate full of fruits and desserts to Amelie, while he clapped his hands and
looked at the woman in front of him.
“Ms. Springer, it has been so long, and you still look stunning.”
Amelie, who was having desserts, almost choked. She thought, since when did Aaron, who always puts a poker face outside, praise other women?
Aaron’s words pleased the woman, and she covered her mouth and chuckled.
Amelie noticed that although the woman looked cunningly beautiful, when she smiled,
she looked very tender.
“Mr. Mullen, I’ve heard a lot of compliments, but why does it sound so awkward when
it’s coming from you?”
“If you don’t like my compliments, I won’t say it again.”
Although Aaron was already very restrained, Amelie could still see an unusual smile on the corner of his mouth. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Before the woman could say more, the organizer had already invited everyone to the -dining room.
Aaron took the lead and strode forward. Amelie put down the plate and followed him step by step, holding his hand tightly.
“Aaron, who was that lady?”
“Thalia Springer. I think she has been invited here as a special guest.”
“A special guest?”
“Yes. Every year, there will be some reserved places for the interview. Those who are interested can sign up, and if they are qualified, they can come here.”
Amelie nodded thoughtfully. To her surprise, she saw Lamont not far away in the next
second.
It was obvious that Lamont was looking in her direction, but when she looked over, subconsciously shifted his gaze away.
She thought, isn’t Macey the one who runs Prosperity Global all this time?
Amelie tugged at Aaron’s sleeve and asked in a low voice, “Aaron, who usually represents Prosperity Global to be here?”
“Well…” Aaron pondered for a moment. “I didn’t really pay attention to it before. I guess it has always been Macey who attends the interview alone. Why?”
“Nothing. I’m just curious.”
Amelie waved her hand and stopped asking.
She thought, anyway, it’s none of my business. I don’t give a damn as long as our family’s interests don’t get implicated.
Soon, the crowd was seated according to the seating arrangement arranged by the
organizer.
Coincidentally, Thalia was sitting diagonally opposite them. When Amelie’s eyes met hers, she even ogled Amelie.
“Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention?”
The host of the interview stood in the middle of the banquet hall, looking very excited. “Once again, the annual entertainment company interview is held as scheduled. Welcome! Chat as much as you want! Make yourselves at home!”
