Chapter 218
Tricia was puzzled. Wasn’t this akin to nurturing a potential threat?
Sophie, with a smile, replied, “The internship lasts for less than a month. If I don’t take her, someone else will sooner or later. It’s better to keep her close. With her abilities, she won’t cause any significant waves.”
“Yes, Ms. Sophie.”
Sophie hung up the phone. She was genuinely curious about what kind of strength Nichole possessed to climb to a high position on her
own.
In the afternoon, Nichole received an interview invitation from S Corporation.
Nichole dressed carefully, stepping into the company in high heels. The interviewer glanced at Nichole and said, “I see from your resume that you’re a graduate student from Eastwood College?”
Nichole, somewhat smug, replied, “Yes.”
“To be so young and achieve this much is not easy.” The interviewer looked impressed.
Nichole felt even more extraordinary. After all, she got into Eastwood College on her own merit, and the graduate position was earned through her hard work.
The interviewer said, “We do have an internship position, but it’s not for the deputy general manager.”
“Not for the deputy general manager?”
Nichole frowned. She had anticipated that landing a deputy general manager position wouldn’t be easy, so she said, “My minimum requirement is to be a team leader in the Finance Department or in Accounting…”

“No, no, you misunderstood me,” the interviewer interrupted Nichole, saying, “You come from Eastwood College, but our company always had high requirements for interns. The newest interns who joined our company came back from studying abroad and have master’s degrees. They also have various domestic and international awards. Have you won any significant awards, either domestically or internationally? You can tell us about them.”
Nichole’s smile froze.
Previously, she couldn’t afford to study abroad and had always been buried in her books, barely participating in any club activities. At best, she had only won some school awards.
Originally, according to what James had promised her, she should have been abroad by now. However, she feared Sophie would take James, so she stayed behind and became a graduate student at Eastwood College.
Seeing Nichole not speaking, the interviewer said, “It seems you haven’t been abroad or won any awards, but that’s okay. Our company still values talent. How’s your second language skills?”
Nichole gradually became speechless. She had been busy getting closer to James recently and hadn’t practiced professionally. “My Spanish is…”
The interviewer then asked, “You can show us now if you want.”
Nichole was about to demonstrate when a female employee walked in, speaking fluent Spanish.
Then, the interviewer also spoke a line of fluent Spanish. Although fast, it was clear what was being said, and the Spanish professional jargon. Nichole didn’t even react for a moment.

After the female employee left, the interviewer, with a smiling face, watched Nichole and asked, “Ms. Sophie, how would you say your spoken Spanish is?”
Nichole clenched her fists nervously, barely managing to say, “I study finance, so normal communication is not a problem.”
“Here’s the thing: after considering everything, the company can keep you for a month of internship, but the position we can offer you is just at the intern level, with a salary of eight hundred. You can think it over.”
Nichole’s face fell. “Eight hundred?”
