16 You’re Really Unsuitable (2/2)

Hui Yin was getting impatient when the door finally opened, and Zhang Wei came in. She smiled at him, but his head was bowed, so he didn't see it.

Hui Yin frowned.

He looked different than earlier, more...timid?

What happened to him in such a short time?

Zhang Wei avoided her eyes as he cleared his throat and fumbled with the stuff on his desk, giving his shaking hands something to do.

”Um...a—about the job, Miss Hui...”

At the sound of his deflated voice, Hui Yin felt her heart sink. Didn't she do well on the interview? Why was he looking at her like a doctor who had bad news to tell?

”I think...” Cough, cough. ”You're really unsuitable for the job.”

Unsuitable! Hui Yin clenched her hands. That despicable word again!

She forced the words out of her mouth. ”Why?”

Zhang Wei met her eyes, and quickly focused on the wall behind her.

His heart was racing inside his chest, and he felt like he was at gunpoint as he slowly said, ”For one, you lack the experience. Although making coffee is easy, we...ah, we don't have the time to train new employees.”

What bullshit! Zhang Wei looked at the girl's reaction, wanting to see if she realized that he was lying. Of course they had time to train people! What kind of coffee shop would they be if they just hired people without teaching them the ropes first?

Zhang Wei saw that Hui Yin was considering his words carefully.
