176 The Clueless Diamond Who Does Not Realise Her Brilliance (2/2)
The presumed heir narrowed his eyes at the candidates, as if evaluating them. After silently observing them for a few seconds, he shifted in his seat, leaning back, uncrossing and crossing his legs the opposite way.
”Do you see the drinks in front of you? I want you to drink it and give your opinions about it,” he suddenly instructed.
”Huh?”
The four interviewees looked at the man in the middle with confusion.
They had originally thought that those drinks were placed there just in case the interviewees became parched during the interview. But nevertheless, aside from Yeo Ri, the other three seemed to be familiar with the type of tasks they were told to do and immediately complied.
Yeo Ri was the last to pick a bottle. They were all the same anyways, so she randomly picked one.
The design of the bottle was simple—it was a transparent plastic bottle with no labels. Clearly, the main focus was the transparent liquid inside it and not the appearance.
Curiously, Yeo Ri sloshed the bottle slowly to examine the drink before finally uncapping it and taking a small swig.
”Hm,” Yeo Ri hummed in surprise. The taste was surprisingly sweet and not carbonated. Being a product that was to be advertised as 'vitamin water', naturally she did not expect it to have no taste, but judging by the appearance of the clear liquid, it was easy to assume that it would be carbonated, like soda. Therefore, the somewhat novel taste surprised her.
Yeo Ri unconsciously licked her lips, tasting the remnants of the liquid on her lips. It had a sweet taste and a rather refreshing aftertaste. Yeo Ri took another sip silently, deciding that this was the best-tasting drink she had ever drank in her life.
Unbeknownst to her, she had suddenly became the center of attention.
It was only after she swallowed another mouthful that she noticed that all eyes were on her. Yeo Ri blushed, lowering her head in embarrassment while biting her lips. She hastily placed down the bottle on the table and used the back of her hand to wipe any trace of the beverage from around her mouth.
”...”
Hearing no one speaking nor reprimanding her, Yeo Ri kept her eyes lowered. Did she seem like an uncouth bumpkin...? It was her first time drinking something with such a new taste that she couldn't help herself. Mentally, she berated herself for not behaving properly.
After ten seconds of silence, the heir—Assistant Marketing Director, Do Kang Rok—finally spoke: ”Number 15, Lee Yeo Ri, was it?”
He tilted his head with an amused smirk, ”Congratulations, you passed.”
”...”
”...”
”...Huh?”
