Chapter 1150
No.1
Yet all seven members of Finance Team 5 now believed—Evelyn Sinclair was trying to seduce their baby-faced intern!
"You're interviewing two listed companies next month?" Melissa blocked Evelyn's path.
"Yes. The list is being finalized."
"Don't bother." Melissa smiled meaningfully. "Legal just reached an agreement with Kingsley Group—"
"You'll be interviewing Alexander Kingsley."
She watched with satisfaction as Evelyn's back stiffened.
How would the defeated Alexander treat his "ex-girlfriend"? Melissa couldn't wait to find out.
No.2
Evelyn Sinclair received a call from Kingsley Group's liaison, who introduced herself as Alexander Kingsley's new secretary.
But when the call connected, she recognized Nathan Carter's familiar voice.
"Miss Sinclair, we've arranged a full-day itinerary for you. In addition to Lord Alex's exclusive interview, we've prepared a corporate tour. If you're interested, we could also arrange a special feature on Kingsley Group."
The offer was tempting.
A corporate feature required teamwork—detailed interview outlines needed preparation and Kingsley Group's approval.
This time, no one in her team hesitated.
Evelyn selected three colleagues to assist with preparations.
No.3
Before departure, Evan Wells approached her with flushed cheeks. "Sis, can I join? I want to make up for my last mistake."
"Fine." Evelyn agreed without hesitation. An extra pair of hands wouldn't hurt.
Once preparations were complete, Evan made another request. "Sis, can I go with you to Kingsley Group? I'm from a small town and have never seen a big corporation before."
It was true—Evan wasn't a Kingsbury local.
Evelyn studied him for a silent second.
Her piercing gaze made Evan's heart skip a beat.
"Alright." She finally nodded.
No.4
The interview team consisted of five members. Evelyn brought the photographer and Evan to Kingsley Group, leaving two others on standby at Horizon Media.
By protocol, Evan shouldn't have qualified for the trip.
But Evelyn's exception was met with no objections.
Privately, colleagues sympathized with Evan.
The kid was right—Evelyn clearly had feelings for him!
Why else would she agree to take him to Kingsley Group so easily?
Poor guy, sacrificing so much for work... He was only a junior in college!
No.5
......
Kingsley Group rolled out the red carpet for Evelyn's visit.
Nathan personally guided the tour, detailing the corporate structure.
At noon, he arranged lunch at the employee cafeteria.
Just as they sat down, Nathan received a call.
After listening with a grim expression, he turned to Evelyn. "Miss Sinclair, the afternoon interview may need rescheduling. Lord Alex has an urgent meeting."
"So no interview today?" Evelyn asked.
No.6
Last-minute changes were typical for Alexander.
Nathan hesitated. "Actually... he's available now, but it would interrupt your lunch."
Evelyn: "......"
If not for the hopeful looks from her photographer and Evan, she would've refused outright.
"Can I bring my photographer?" she asked.
Nathan smiled apologetically. "No."
Alexander's condition for a solo interview had been clear from the start.
No.7
"What about—"
"Don't worry, we'll arrange a dedicated host for them." Nathan had everything prepared.
Evelyn entered Alexander's office.
This long-unseen space.
The expansive room remained unchanged, save for one addition—a dining table by the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Fresh roses and silverware adorned its surface.
