"Just decide on what you want and order first. When you're hungry, I'll send it over." Elliot had been busy the entire morning. He
was already hungry.
"Okay, letthink," Avery said, then immediately felt too lazy to do so. "I'll have what you're having. Our taste is mostly the
same."
"You're just too lazy to think, right? What are you doing?" Judging by her tone, Elliot could tell that she was a little distracted.
Avery picked up her cup of water and drank sto soothe her throat. "I didn't do much this morning. | was checking up on the
tea culture of Ylore. | have never heard about it before. The tea culture in Ylore is quite famous."
"Yes. The tea culture in Ylore is not only about drinking tea. There are tea performances, too. I've seen the performances, but |
can't differentiate the tea." Elliot has seen a tea performance at Ylore before, but he had no interest in tea.
Avery heard what he said and replied curtly, "You fooled around quite a lot back in the day, right?"

Elliot asked, "How do you wantto answer that question?"
Avery replied, "Honestly!"
Elliot said, "In Ylore, tea performances are a legitimate profession. It's not what you think. Of course, speople would use tea
performances as a cover up for illegal activities, but | was never involved in that."
Avery said, "Oh, then why do you sound nervous?"
"Do I?" Elliot picked up his glass and drank swater. "You looked into this because you saw Juliet Sutton's resume, didn't you?
Are you planning to hire her?"
Avery said, "I saw that she was a Ylorean, so | looked into it more. But | was distracted by the tea competition. From the
information | have gotten, those who study tea performance have to begin doing so at a young age. They even have to follow a
teacher. It's troublesome!"
"It seems so, but I'm not too sure. Why are you suddenly interested in this? Even if you hire her as your assistant, you don't need
her to perform for you," Elliot teased.
"I never said | wanted to hire her! I'm only gaining more knowledge." Avery insisted.
"Useless knowledge." Elliot landed another blow. "If you're interested in her, you can invite her for an interview. Wouldn't it be more
informative if she spoke to you about tea performances rather than you searching about it online?"
"You're right! But | haven't decided whether | want to interview her or not. After all, she applied to your company. She wants to be
your assistant..."
"How do you know she did not just send her reseverywhere?" Elliot's words surprised Avery.
"Then... Why don't you get your HR manager to call her and see if she's willing to cin for an interview. If | contact her out of
the blue, it would feel rather abrupt." Avery decided to follow her heart and meet up with Juliet Sutton.

"Okay." From her tone, Elliot could sense that Avery was very impressed by Juliet.
If Juliet was willing to work for Avery, she would probably pass the interview.
In the neighboring city, while Madam was having her meal, she received a call from the Sterling Group's human resources
department.
"Miss Sutton, hello. | am the HR manager of Sterling Group. I'm calling you to inform you that you do not meet our recruitment
requirements. I'm sorry, but you won't be able to be our president's assistant." The HR manager continued, "But our boss's wife is
also hiring an assistant. Her requirements are slightly lower. Your education level is high enough for her. | wonder if you're willing to
letsend your resover to her?"
Juliet's mood fluctuated massively in a matter of minutes. "Is your boss Avery Tate?"
"Yes, she is also hiring an assistant right now. Have you handed your resto them?"
"No, | never saw the hiring notice from Tate Industries." Juliet was a little nervous, but grateful at the stime. "Please send my
resover. Thank you!"
