Chapter 779 - Wedding day (J&J) (8) (2/2)
”No, you are not. Please, join us.”, Oscar was the polite one compared to Elanor.
…
Not far away, Sophia is talking with Mr. Turner, Madison's father.
”CEO Hill, it's always nice to meet in a casual setting, don't you agree?” Mr. Turner showed his best smile.
”Yes, Mr. Turner.” Sophia saw his overly-enthusiastic smile and guessed that he wants something. A favor maybe? She didn't need to wait long to find out what that he is after.
”CEO Hill, there is something I wanted to ask you about.” Mr. Turner looked slightly embarrassed.
”Please ask, Mr. Turner.” Sophia wanted to be done with it as soon as possible.
”Do you accept interns at this time?”
Sophia didn't find anything wrong with his question, and she is more than happy to talk about her company. ”Orion Enterprise takes pride in accepting interns all the time. If they are promising, we will give them a chance. Our programs and benefits are well received and in last year more than 92% of interns decided to apply for full time jobs in our company.”
”Good, good. Very good.” Mr. Turner was happy with Sophia's attitude. ”Do you mind if I forward you the resume of my daughter? She just graduated with a degree in Bachelor of Arts in computer design, and I am trying to make sure she does her internship in a respectable company.”
”Sure, no problem, Mr. Turner.”
”Excellent!”, Mr. Turner pulled his phone and within seconds sent an email with Madison's resume to Sophia.
Sophia was surprised with how fast he did that and wondered if he already had that email saved as a draft. He probably did.
”Thank you, CEO Hill!”, he beamed.
Sophia showed her most polite smile. ”No, Mr. Turner. Thank you. We always appreciate good referrals. I will look at her resume when I get back to work on Monday and forward it to our Human Resources department for processing.”
”Good, good. Thank you…”, Mr. Turner smiled widely, obviously pleased with how this all went.
Since he achieved his goal with Sophia, he was glancing around… probably looking for an opportunity to go and talk to someone else. His eyes landed on his daughter. Thinking that if Sophia meets Madison in person it will increase Madison's chances to get that internship. He called Madison to join them.
”CEO Hill, it is my pleasure to introduce you to my daughter, Madison.”, he turned to Madison. ”Madison, dear, this is CEO Hill. She is CEO of Orion Enterprise, and she just informed me that they are accepting interns. Their headquarters are in Seattle.”
Madison forced a smile. ”Dad, I thought I told you that I want to be in Los Angeles.”
”Los Angeles? We are in the process of opening offices here.”, Sophia informed both Madison and Mr. Turner.
Madison was interested. ”Where? If it's not a secret.”
”We are finalizing negotiations for office space, downtown Los Angeles, nearby Pershing square.”
Madison's eyes lit up. ”That is close to White corp. HQ!”
Sophia was surprised by Madison's sudden enthusiasm. ”Yes, I believe it is. May I know why you are interested in proximity to White corp. HQ?”
Mr. Turner awkwardly cleared his throat. ”Ignore her, CEO Hill… she is still young, and her priorities are a bit twisted.”
”Twisted? How can you say that my priorities are twisted? I just know what I want.” Madison protested.
Sophia was not willing to give up on the topic so easily. ”And you want to be close to White corp. HQ, Miss Turner, because…?”
”Because of Aiden White!”, Madison proudly declared.
”Madison!”, Mr. Turner warned Madison to stop talking.
”Why are you raising your voice, daddy?” Madison felt wronged. ”Aiden is not taken. What is the problem in me saying that I'm interested in him?”
Suddenly, pieces fell into place for Sophia: Madison Turner… interested in Aiden… list of women who were taken down by Eve… video from last night… she is one of three women who were acting lewdly in that VIP room!
