with a deep look, Dominic sized up the girl sitting in front of him and wondered who had sent him to drop off such a resume like that of a newborn who had nothing but a name.
“I pity the one who dared to say that it is possible to reconcile beauty and intelligence.”
dalhia realized that this man really embodied what she had been told; a man of whom it was impossible to suspect the shadow of a smile on his lips, with his jaw always clenched and above all in a bad mood all the time. she did not get used easily to places like this and especially with people like this.
“Do you admit that I am beautiful, Mr.?” Dalhia asked, hoping to lighten the mood.
He fixed an icy gaze on her, it seemed as if she was facing the iceberg. How could we be so cold by nature?
"If the truth is so much to your heart, Miss Torres ..." he says a less cold look in hers.
She hoped to receive a compliment from her and she knew that was what he was about to see her pupils.
"I admit that this CV is as zero and bland as the saddle of a new one, then if it is yours, think a little about your future and not of beauty."
She opened her mouth in "o" struck by shame. She didn't expect that even if reality was there. she had no professional experience, that was for sure, but she knew how to adapt very quickly.
All she was waiting for was the final blow, for him to send her away like nothing because he had already formed another image of her.
He placed his forearms on the desk and arched his back a little.
dalhia wanted to go back but if it was a test, she had to pass it with flying colors.
“Men may give you the life you deserve based on your physical beauty, but only your intellectual beauty will make you a lady.”
These words struck her in the face, pushing her to straighten.
It was certainly time that she questioned herself and that she wonders what she really wanted to do with her life. there was no longer any need for her to wait for him to be the one to kick her out, but she had to leave on her own.
She stood up when the office door opened.
It was the HR manager who asked him to have the courage to confront Mr. McCoy.
“Did you call me, Mr?”
dalhia was lost. In all the time she had been in this office, she had not seen when this man had touched the phone and yet he had summoned his director of human resources.
"I imagine that this girl went to your office before arriving here so I wonder why you led her to my office with such a shabby CV."
“Forgive me for this mistake Mr but I noticed that she is a very motivated girl who will be able to adapt very quickly and she also needs this work.”
Dominic buried his hands in his pants pockets, puffed out his chest and raised his head in order to look down on his HR manager.
"If the McCoy had decided for decades to do in charity for decades, do you think that this heritage would still exist? Not because inexperienced people like this girl would have caused the business to flow. "
"She just didn't have the chance to study like you and me."
"Because she bet the most about her physical beauty but this discussion is a clause and Miss Torres, you will better leave now."
Dalhia got up and took her bag. He was perhaps right, she did not give a damn because she was studying dance and not business management. she thanked the HR manager with a look and left towards the door.
“A single test will truly determine your ability to adapt, Miss Torres.”
She turned around and looked at the man who had just said it. She didn't think she needed that anymore. She didn't want to take this stupid test that was certainly going to be used for nothing.
"This is a chance that cannot be refused."
For once he was right. So she was going to pass this damn test and she hoped he wouldn't take her.
"I was also going to tell you that Mr.Moreno is already there. ”
Dominic therefore prepared the documents he would need and exceeded his HRD. When he passed near Dalhia, he looked at her intensely, which almost made the latter crazy.
"Follow him!" the only person who seemed to be nice to her said to her when the boss came out.
She ran after Dominic and they entered a large meeting room. The two men greeted each other and when their guest of the day kissed his hand, Dominic growled like a forest animal.
dalhia realized that she had already screwed up the test but it was in no way her fault if she had found herself face to face with a woman charmer.
“For the project you proposed to me Mr. McCoy, I am asking fifty percent.”
dalhia had no idea what they were both talking about but the expression on Dominic's face said a lot about his bad mood which never left him.
“I have no time to waste, Mr. Moreno. This is either you accept sixty and forty you drop the business. McCoy companies do not lie the partners. ”
Dalhia was exceeded. Was it this way that we negotiated a case? With so many ego and arrogance? perhaps this man needed to go back and learn good manners.
“I know that you will find another person as efficient as me to carry out this project, but you also know that my personal touch is what will be the focus of everything.”
dominic nodded nonchalantly, pretending to think.
Dalhia no longer wanted to believe for once that he was going to think and come out with something beautiful from his mouth because he was good at shooting real bullets.
“We’ll see what my assistant thinks?” » Dominic said looking at her.
Taken by surprise, Dalhia opened her mouth several times but nothing came out. What did he want him to say? She didn't even know what he was talking about.
“The company has land by the sea and we are asking Moreno’s company to take care of the project. Of course we will only pay what is strictly necessary and the company will be paid when the houses are sold. For my part, I propose a percentage of forty percent to MrMoreno but he asks fifty knowing that other companies will jump at the opportunity without thinking. What do you think Miss Torres? "
"I am sure that if Mr. Moreno is your first choice, it is for a particular reason and this obvious reason cannot be spoiled."
"What do you offer?"
"Forty-five and fifty-five, I think that is what is better for everyone."
Dominic looked at Mr. Moreno and a small detail struck him. He was so small but still put him out of him. He had to end this meeting.
“I agree with what she proposed, and you Mr. Moreno?”
“Me too,” he said enthusiastically.
So they signed the agreement and parted ways.
Dalhia didn't know if she was going to go home or have the courage to ask this man what he had to do.
“I need to talk to you, Miss Torres.”
A semblance of hope, she had felt it.
She followed him and once in his office, he invited her to sit down. He took off his tie before sitting down too.
“For the reason of my first choice regarding Moreno, he is a man who does not do falsehood and I trust his construction material but these are not sufficient reasons. If you weren’t there, he would never have accepted forty-five percent.”
Did it come to appreciate it for the first time? Dalhia left a end smile take shape on her lips.
"Do not jubilant, Miss Torres. It was not your arguments that convinced him but your right skirt that let hope of what could be hidden below. "
dalhia looked down again to look at her clothing. What was wrong with him? Why had he asked her to join him at this meeting if he had seen her clothing much earlier?
“I know how to take advantage of what life offers me. I would have asked one of my employees to join Reunion but you were there and better dressed for the context. "
She did not know what he was insinuating but this man was as serious as people said because otherwise he would not be talking about her as well.
“I'm going to give you some basics when it comes to the business world. You must always be that enigma that the world is so eager to solve, don't always be mysterious and for that, learn to put them on false trails. Learn to know a plus about the personality of each person like Mr. Moreno for example, he loses all his senses when he is in front of a beautiful an accry woman that he missed his youth. All those who will open their mouths a hundred times to tell you that they want your good will only want your evil, then trust people who are severe with you. consideration can be demonstrated in several ways and a smile is the falsest form of consideration. Do not believe in what the lips say, but in what is read in the eyes.”
he then got up and rummaged through his things where he brought out some papers which he handed to her.
“Your employment contract. You have a week to decide.”
She got the contract back and unsure she was going to work for him. His demands scared him so much.
