17 Short On Money (1/2)

Hui Yin felt that his reason was understandable. She had never worked in a coffee shop before. Unlike her, who was a complete newbie, they should hire people with more experience instead.

But why did he look so guilty?

Suspicious, but knowing that she couldn't do anything to change his mind, Hui Yin stood up and offered him a gentle smile.

”I completely understand your concern, Mr. Zhang. Thank you for this opportunity.”

Zhang Wei felt himself shrinking under the girl's benevolent gaze. Such elegance! She was truly a goddess, to even thank a lying man like him.

”I'm really sorry for this, Miss Hui.” His voice was weak. ”How about I give you free coffee every time you find yourself in our shop? It will be on the house!”

Free coffee? Why did he need to treat her to free coffee, and even offer that kind of ridiculous gesture?

She was just someone whom he rejected to hire because of her inexperience, did he really need to give her such special treatment?

Hui Yin stared at the man for a second longer. Then she opened her mouth and spoke two words.

”Lu Shen.”

Zhang Wei jumped like a cat whose tail had gotten stepped on.

”W—w—what did you say, Miss Hui?” he stuttered.

Hui Yin's expression darkened.

As expected, it was that man!

No wonder nobody hired her! Hui Yin had indeed suspected that something was wrong ever since her third interview.

The first one, she thought that the phone call was nothing out of ordinary. When her second interviewer rejected her after a phone call made him look nervous, Hui Yin thought it was simply a coincidence. When that happened for the third time, then the fourth and the fifth, and now the sixth time...she could only draw her own conclusions.
