Chapter 109
Skylar arrived for her interview promptly at 9:30 am as instructed.
There were two other candidates waiting with her. Both of the men seemed to be ten years older than she
was.
When they saw her, they both frowned a bit.
Skylar was so young. Was she here because she had connections?
Only the real deal got to join Alexander’s team. He turned away many people who tried to use their
connections to get in.
Could a young lady like Skylar have the skills for the job?
Both men gave Skylar a slight look of disdain. To them, she seemed too attractive to be truly talented.
Skylar realized their looks, but she didn’t mind them at all.
“I thought they weren’t going to give me an interview,” one of the men said to the other. “Surprisingly, they called me up last night. Did you receive a call from them as well?”
“Yes, I did. I was ready to start looking somewhere else. I thought it was a shame that I couldn’t get into
Mr. Gardner Senior’s team,” the other man said.
“Looks like luck is on our side,” One of the men replied.
They kept talking as if they were laying the groundwork for their future as colleagues.
They ignored Skylar’s presence and treated her like she wasn’t there.
Thankfully, they didn’t have to wait long. In about ten minutes, they were called in.
It wasn’t Alexander himself conducting the interview, but three middle–aged professionals in their 40s
They looked like trusted members of Alexander, people who had earned their place through hard work
and skill.
“Your task is to identify which ones are fake. Take a good look at the ancient coins, paintings, bronzes, and ceramics. Then, write down which ones are fake in order,” one of the interviewers said.
There were about 50 to 60 items placed in front of them.
The items were all organized on the table and on the wall.
She wasn’t sure how many stages there were in this interview. After all, each interview varied from place to place.
Identifying the genuine from the fake wasn’t difficult for her before. On top of that, she didn’t need as much time to identify them now.
It was almost as if she had a connection with the antiques. She could sense the stories behind them, so it
harter
was easy for her to identify the fake ones.
Plus, she had been learning from Viola since she was a child. These were just the basics for her.
It only took her a few minutes to complete the task.
Her speed shocked the three interviewers.
Initially, they thought Skylar was trying to draw attention by answering quickly without taking the process
seriously.
The other two candidates were also taken aback by her speed before looking at her disdainfully.
They thought participating in an interview with someone who seemed to be rushing through it and not taking the interview seriously felt like an insult to them.
The three interviewers shared the same skepticism. Their expressions were cold and reserved.
Alexander and Caleb witnessed the whole scene from the monitor
room.
Alexander’s eyes were icy. Skylar was a show–off, just as he expected.
“What do you have to say now?” He looked at Caleb. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Caleb felt a little bit unsure. He had never seen Skylar evaluate so many items at once, so he couldn’t tell for sure. However, he believed in her.
“It’s the results that matter, not how fast or slow she goes. Why are you jumping to conclusions, Grandpa?”
“What’s gotten into you? It’s like you’re under some kind of spell.” Alexander rolled his eyes.
“Just wait, Grandpa. You’ll know what I’m talking about,” Caleb insisted.
He had faith in Skylar. However, he was confused by the items that were being placed together. Alexander’s collection of fakes was incredibly convincing. He couldn’t tell which ones were fake, either.
