Chapter 5

مؤلف: Heroic Thief
I connected my phone to the projector in the yard. It had originally been installed outdoors for watching soccer games. I certainly didn't expect that I would be using it like this.

The screen lit up, and the evaluation form was clearly displayed for everyone to see.

"This is Erica's interview evaluation form and the interviewer's comments for her preliminary interview," I said in a loud and clear voice, pointing at the screen. "Take a look for yourselves."

Everyone craned their necks as they

  • So It's My Fault Her Daughter Flunked?   Chapter 9

    Several years passed. The flower shop did so well that I opened a second location in the neighboring town. Meanwhile, Nate was also promoted to head chef at the restaurant.We took out a small loan and bought a small house with a garden, and life was peaceful and happy.One day, I received a letter from home. It was from Aunt Melissa. She wrote to tell us that Simon was very ill and on his deathbed, and his final wish was to see us before he departed.Although Simon had taken Denise's side in causing trouble for me in the past, he was essentially an honest man. He'd just been manipulated by his wife. I did feel sorry for what happened to him afterward, but that didn't mean that I felt responsible for it.I deliberated for a long time and finally decided to fly home to visit him. However, I wasn't going to forgive him. I just wanted to give myself closure.When I stepped into the Cortez manor, I realized that everything had changed. The once bustling courtyard was dilapidated and

    Nate was quiet for a long time. I knew that this was a hard decision for him to make.After all, he was the only son in his family. He had an older sister, but his parents had always been somewhat sexist. They thought of him as the only child responsible for caring for them in their old age.To them, Nate leaving would be akin to a betrayal.However, if we were to continue living here, Nate and I would never be able to escape our shadows. My seemingly kind yet indifferent relatives and their endless schemes and demands would eventually devour us."Alright." He finally nodded after thinking about it for a long while. "Let's go."At that moment, I saw relief in his eyes. Perhaps it was because he had wanted to escape for a long time. He just needed someone to give him a little push.…We quietly began making preparations in the days that followed. We sold the house, applied for our visas, and looked for jobs in the new place. Everything was done in secret, and we never told a soul

    Life after my resignation was a lot calmer than I imagined.I spent a month thoroughly spring-cleaning and decluttering the house.Nate clearly wasn't happy with my resignation, but he didn't dare to boss me around like before anymore. After that last ordeal, he was very careful with his words and actions at home, as though he was trying to make amends.However, the crack that had appeared in my heart couldn't be healed that easily.A month later, I received a phone call from an unknown number."Hello? Is this Ms. Siobhan Cortez? I'm a reporter from The Daily News."The reporter sounded urgent. "This is in regard to your previous recruitment scandal. We've just learned of some new developments in the case, and we'd like to verify them with you.""What new developments?" I asked, feeling my heart sink again."Someone reported that Ms. Erica Cortez's interview evaluation scores were fabricated, and she also allegedly bribed the interviewer. Were you aware of this, Ms. Cortez?"I

    Nate was silent during the drive home."I'm sorry," he finally said , breaking the quiet. I didn't respond to him and just turned to look out of the window."I was panicking at that time. Your mother wouldn't stop crying, and all your relatives kept calling to yell at me. My mind went blank and I…"He trailed off, gripping the steering wheel a little harder."I know you trusted me," I said softly. "But your trust was too fragile. It couldn't even survive the slightest hiccup."When it mattered most, you didn't stand by me. Instead, you told me to compromise. You know what, Nate? That made me feel even more disappointed than Denise's slander."Nate sighed and didn't say another word.It was late by the time we got back. I collapsed onto the couch, completely drained. I couldn't even find the strength to get up and shower.My phone vibrated just then. It was a text message from Penny."Hey, Siobhan, the company has issued a statement clarifying that it was just a malicious rum

"Take a look for yourselves."Everyone craned their necks as they gathered around the screen to read."Professional Ability: 60/100"Communication Skills: 40/100"Teamwork: 30/100"Overall Comment: Candidate displayed an extremely arrogant attitude and lacked basic workplace etiquette. She was impatient with the interviewer's questions and repeatedly emphasized her family background. Candidate fails to meet the company's hiring standards."A heavy silence fell over the courtyard, broken only by the sound of the trees rustling in the back.Denise's face

    I ended up going back with Nate to the Cortez manor. Before I left, however, I called Penny Addams, a colleague in the HR Department.She told me she couldn't give me any direct details, but she promised me that she would help me check Erica's interview evaluation form.As long as I had that evaluation form, I could prove that Erica was eliminated on her own merit and that I had absolutely nothing to do with it.It was already late evening by the time we arrived.The courtyard was brightly lit and bustling as though some sort of celebration was going on. My relatives were gathered around the outdoor table, chatting and snacking on chips.When they saw me walk in with Nate, their voices eventually died down, and everything went silent. Their gazes cut into me like sharp knives."Look, the bitch is back," Aunt Melissa said with a sneer, causing the others around her to chuckle in delight.Denise was seated right in the middle, still dabbing at her swollen eyes with a handkerchief.
