CHAPTER 572
Rumors had it that half of the male students in her high school had written love letters to her back then. Yet, after many years later, they met again. Her eyes, once intelligent and glossy, were not what they used to be. What changed was how weathered they
looked now. The innocence and naivety once radiated in those eyes would never come back. “I can’t believe you still remember your former classmate.”
Hannah broke out into a faint smile, like a flower
in bloom, oozing charm and allure. Her face was extremely enamoring, though she only had light make-up on. Both security guards were shocked to hear Hannah’s words. The poor bumpkin who was standing right in front of them was actually Miss Nancy’s acquaintance. Damn!
What should they do?
Would Miss Nancy fire them over the bumpkin?
With a smile on his face, Alex said, “I really didn’t expect to see you here. Do you work here now?”
A trace of pride slowly crept up Hannah’s face as she said, “Yes, I am the reception manager for City Salon. Alex, you are here… To apply for the position of security guard here? However, the requirements for the job
application are quite high as most applicants are either veteran soldiers or people who possess exceptional
skills in the field of security.
You seem… Not quite suitable for this job.”
“Urn…” Alex was just about to speak
Then, Hannah continued, “But, we are former classmates. For the sake of classmates, I am willing to help you
now that you are in trouble. It’s not a big deal! Come in and have a seat. Make yourself at home.” She took the lead and entered the building.
A scornful smile appeared on her face when she had her back
turned against him. She was well aware of Alex’s circumstances. Back in high school, she used to have a crush on him. Back then, he was the heir of a wealthy and prominent
family. He was trailed by many and many female classmates wanted to court him. She once confessed to him owns all content.
but was duly rejected. Now, things were totally different than they were before. Back then, he had no interest in her. Now, he did not deserve her.
‘Hrnph, I will hire you as a security guard. You will work for me in the future, fulfilling all my orders, just so
you know thatI am a superior existence that you can only look up to.’ Never did Alex know that his former classmate would have such thoughts. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. He couldn’t help following Hannah into the building.
He said, “Hannah, I am not here to look for a job.” However, Hannah smiled as she replied, “Come on, Alex, you don’t have to pretend around me.
I know your
circumstances but I will not make fun of you. Relax, I will vouch for you as the new security guard here and
fight for the best benefits. After all, you are my former classmate! Do you still remember that I confessed to
you back in high school?”
“Well… You still remember what happened back then?” Alex felt a slight awkwardness. “Of course! It was my first ever confession to a boy but you rejected me!”
Hannah smiled but her eyes were
filled with disdain. “Fortunately, you turned me down and let me go. Otherwise, to follow you…” The rest were better left unsaid. She continued smilingly, “My current boyfriend is amazing. He has a lot of men, people like you, working for
him. They always help me carry my belongings and shoes everywhere I go.”
In other words, Alex was now only worthy of carrying her shoes. Well…
Alex brushed the tip of his nose and said, “As I said earlier, Hannah, I am not here for the position of security
guard. I came to see someone.”
Hannah replied, “Stop being as stubborn as a mule! It is settled, then.” At that moment, the doors of the elevator by the corner opened. Hailey walked out and immediately saw Alex. “Miss Lawson!”
Hannah saw Hailey and quickly went up to her enthusiastically.
