“What I didn’t pass?” Melissa could hardly believe her cars
Not to mention that I was recommended by Scott, the director had repeatedly nodded in approval during the second round of interviews
That look was clearly a sign of recognition, so how could I not have passed Scott had said himself that as long as one passed the preliminary round, the second round was just a formality, so how could I. Questions raced through her mind.
Melissa felt as if she got an electric shock, her body weak and limp. “Could you please tell me why?”
She gotta die with a clear mind.
The other party said, “Ms. Bush, the system shows that you confirmed your acceptance of the designer position in our company three years ago, but then
you backed
Lout, which is why you’ve been blacklisted by our company.
Individuals on the blacklist are permanently barred from employment at our company. We regret to inform you of this decision.”
When Melissa hung up the phone, her head was still buzzing. The inadvertent shot three years ago had now hit her right between the eyes. How laughable.
Scott was now just a designer at the company and probably didn’t yet have the power to influence the company’s policies. With this thought, Melissa curled up on the sofa, hugging her knees, feeling utterly hopeless.
car that she had
It seemed that everything bad come to an end. Even though there were still a few days left in her agreement with Bradley, it was clear no chance of winning.
According to their agreement, she was supposed to disappear from Curtis’s life forever.
Suddenly, her phone dinged. Melissa picked it up mechanically, seeing a WhatsApp message from Scott: [The results should be out by now. When are you starting work?]
Melissa was beyond heavy–hearted, and she even felt guilty about Scott. Taking a deep breath, she explained the situation and finally concluded
Thank you anyway.1
Scout immediately called back, equally surprised. “I had forgotten about this. The company does indeed have such a policy.”
“It’s okay, I’ll try some other companies. Thank you, Scott Melissa forced a smile.
Scout paused for a second before replying, “Look, get your hopes up I’m on a first–name basis with the manager. I’ll check back and see if we can find a way around it, given your talents.”
Melissa no longer had the energy to consider whether his words were just pošite talk; she didn’t dare to harbor any hopes anymore.
Usually, the highlight of her day was the ten–minute video chat with Curtis, but today, she was a bit afraid of the phone ringing. She didn’t know how to face Curtis.
If Bradley knew about her current situation, he would surely mock her again
Despite her fear, Curtis’s video call request came as scheduled
Melissa tried to act cheerful, but it was hard. Fortunately, Curtis was too young to notice the abnormality in her voice.
Bradley, on the other hand, was different
Melissa, who was still full of pride yesterday, seemed like a dry weed today, listless, which made him glance over–the woman on the screen had a slight frown, and even talking to Curtis felt perfunctory.
Bradley frowned, wondering if she didn’t pass the interview
Weird. Ned mentioned that the design director praised her work for its creativity. He was ready to see Melissa boast in front of me and even prepared an onboarding gift for her, he murmured inwardly.
After the video call ended, he called Ned, who was abo confused upon hearing that Melissa had been rejected.
After making a few calls, Ned quickly got back to Bradley.
“Blacklist?” Bradley was taken aback.
“Ms. Bush agreed to join the company three years ago, but somehow she didn’t, so she was put on the company’s blacklist.”
