Chapter 5 A Parasite that Has been Past Her Prime
794 Words
Sandra took the elevator to the top floor of the exhibition hall to do the interview. When the elevator door opened, the candidates in the hall, who were all bored of waiting, turned to look in her direction. They only meant to take a quick glance at the newcomer, but when they saw the woman stepping out of the elevator, they found that they could not tear their eyes away from her.
This woman was too gorgeous!
The group of women were stunned for a second. Then, they were all hit by the same thought at the same time: “Where did she get her plastic surgery done? Her doctor was really skilled!”
“Isn’t that Sandra, the station’s formerly popular host?”
Someone recognized her and yelled, “It’s the young lady from a rich family who resigned when her career was peaking and went home to look after her fiancé.”
“Is that so? Is her family is declining, or maybe her fiancé doesn’t want her anymore, and that’s why she’s come out to find a job again?”
“In my opinion, this kind of woman is an embarrassment. Why is she back? Does she want to disgrace womankind even more?”
“Whoosh—”
Sandra spun around, spilling the coffee in her hand all over the two women who were badmouthing her so animatedly.
The two women were struck dumb at once.
“What have you done?” one of them shouted, quickly coming to her senses.
They were going to be interviewed in a moment, but their clothes had been stained with coffee!
“I’m just trying to remind you that be it my family or men, I have backers. You can’t afford to offend me!”
Sandra then moved to sit elsewhere, but the colleagues of the two nearby women stopped her. “You’re pulling rank on us. You really think you’re better than us just because you’re rich?”
“Exactly! Apologize!”
“You’re just a parasite. How dare you come here and be rude to...”
In the face of all the criticism, Sandra looked coldly at the group of people in front of her.
At this time, a soft and gentle voice passed through the crowd and came to Sandra’s side. “I apologize to all of you on behalf of Sandra. She certainly didn’t mean to upset you.”
Kim tugged at Sandra with a frail but sweet expression on her face. “Sandra, why didn’t you tell me you were also coming to the interview for the hosting job? We’re besties. Why be competitors? How about I quit this time?”
“Kim, why are you still protecting this kind of person? Is it worth it?”
The people around Kim all started to defend her against the injustice while Sandra looked at her with disdain.
“Ah, well, I don’t have much confidence in myself now. Sandra is pretty and has a mighty family. She’s more suitable for the job,” Kim said in a modest tone.
She deliberately pointed out that Sandra had both her beauty and her family behind her so as to make the surrounding women even more jealous.
“Kim, don’t belittle yourself. The Yates Enterprise has emphasized that the ideal host should be lively and innocent. You haven’t even dated anyone yet. You are the perfect candidate, aren’t you?”
Sandra’s brows knitted slightly. Thinking of the scene of Kim and Brian kissing passionately in bed, she couldn’t help but feel sick. “Okay then, quit!”
Kim immediately choked on those words. She glanced at Sandra. “Why do I feel like she’s sort of different today?” she wondered.
When the people around heard Sandra’s candid demand and saw Kim hedging, they could not help but feel that Kim’s previous suggestion was not sincere.
At this time, the elevator door opened again, and a woman dripping with jewels came out followed by two assistants. She was a bit imposing.
The people before the elevator all gave way to the woman without being asked. Only Sandra stood still.
The woman walked past Sandra and glared at her. “Aren’t you... Maggie’s... Maggie’s someone? What are you doing here? Well, have you pulled all the strings and gotten yourself a chance to the interview hoping to do the exclusive interview with Mask? Get real!”
