Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

“Hello, I’m here for an interview. I’ve already scheduled a time with the HR manager, Ms Romero.” Harleen said as she approached the front desk.

“May I have your last name?” The busy receptionist looked up at Harleen.

“I’m Harleen Knight.”

“Okay, please wait a moment.”

Two minutes later, the receptionist who had hung up the phone led Harleen to a small conference room on the eighth floor.

“Ms Knight, please wait here for Manager Romero.”

“Thank you.” Harleen nodded in response and took a seat.

After about five minutes, a woman in uniform walked in. She was under thirty years old with delicate features and light makeup that accentuated her already stunning figure wrapped tightly by her uniform.

“You must be Ms Knight?” The woman sat down across from Harleen and there was a surprised look on her face as she stared at Harleen’s charming face.

“Yes!” Harleen stood up to greet her, “Manager Mona Romero? Thank you for giving me this opportunity to interview!”

“Don’t mention it, Ms Knight,” Mona nodded slightly, “I’ve reviewed your resume and it seems to match our company’s marketing department manager’s requirements. I called you here today to discuss some issues face-to-face.”

“Okay.” Harleen sat back down.

The two of them talked for about ten minutes before Mona stood up.

“Ms Knight, I’m pleased to inform you that your initial interview has passed. I will now take you to meet our company’s vice president for a final interview.”

“Thank you, Manager Romero!” Harleen’s face lit up.

Five minutes later, the two arrived at the door of a large office on the thirty-eighth floor. Mona knocked on the door and led Harleen inside.

“Mr Blount, this is Ms Knight. I brought her here for your final interview.” Mona said as she looked towards a young man sitting on the sofa drinking red wine.

As she spoke, she casually locked the office door behind her. To her, her previous meeting with Harleen was just going through the motions. When she received Harleen’s resume yesterday and saw her photo, she handed it over to this young man without hesitation.

This was their usual process-he had instructed her that any woman who came in for an interview with good looks should be brought to him for a final review or “interview”. It was just his way of selecting women he found interesting or attractive enough to pursue further relations with.

Before this moment, Mona had already brought in more than ten beautiful women for him to “interview.” Almost all of them were coerced or threatened by him into doing things they didn’t want to do right there in his office-but because Mona recorded everything and he paid them handsomely afterwards as hush money-most chose silence instead of speaking out against him even if some did try reporting him. Keith Blount’s family connections always kept things quiet and safe from legal repercussions.

“Ms Knight, nice to meet you!” The young master pointed to the sofa opposite him. “Please have a seat!”

His eyes roamed over Harleen for a moment, with a hint of fervor in their depths. “No wonder she’s known as Ozin’s number one beauty, she truly was an unparalleled beauty.” Keith thought to himself.

“Thank you, Mr Blount.” Feeling the invasive gaze of the other party, Harleen furrowed her eyebrows slightly before sitting down on the sofa.

“You can call me Keith.” He lit up a cigar and took a puff before continuing.

“I’ve heard of your name for quite some time and now seeing you in person today is even better than hearing about you. Compared to you, those so-called A-list celebrities aren’t even worthy enough to tie your shoelaces!”

“Hmm?” Harleen was slightly taken aback by his words. “Do you know me?”

Keith chuckled lightly while pouring himself a glass of red wine from the coffee table.

“You’re the renowned beauty in Ozin, who wouldn’t recognize you? Ms Knight, this red wine is something my friend brought back from overseas recently and it’s really good. Give it a try.”

“I’m sorry, Mr Blount, but I don’t drink.” replied Harleen with another slight frown.

“Come one, Ms Knight. Don’t be a stranger.”

“I’m sorry but I’m allergic to alcohol…” responded Harleen once again.

Mona who was standing beside said, “I’m disappointed in you, Ms Knight. You’re here applying for marketing positions yet don’t understand basic business etiquette? If Mr Blount offers to pour your drink then at least show some courtesy.”

“Ms Romero, I…” Harleen spoke again.

“Ms Knight, let me not beat about the bush.” Keith couldn’t wait any longer as he gazed at Harleen’s stunning beauty. While speaking, he picked up a check from the coffee table and handed it to Harleen.

“I fell in love with you at first sight. If you are willing to be my woman, these five million will be yours. Besides that, you can come to the company to work tomorrow. I hereby appoint you as the Marketing Director of the company with a monthly salary of 100, 000.”

After speaking, he lifted the wine glass and took a sip, with a slight smile on his lips as he stared at Harleen. Before this, he had already used the same method to tempt several women to take off their clothes in front of him. He enjoyed it, which was exciting and gave him a sense of accomplishment.

“Sorry, I don’t think I’m suitable for this job, excuse me.” Harleen realized what was going on and she stood up and walked towards the door.

“Ms Knight, since you have entered this office today, it might be a bit difficult for you to just leave like that.” Keith said with a faint smile.

At this point, Mona had already walked over to Harleen.

“Don’t pretend, all right? If you find ungenerous, name your price. Since you had a beautiful face, as long as you don’t charge outrageously high prices, Mr Blount will fulfill your wish.”

“Sorry! I am not the kind of person you imagined!” Harleen said with a hint of anger, and then reached out to grab the door handle.

However, the door had already been locked by Mona from the inside, and pulling it for a long time had no effect. Her heart skipped a beat as she quickly pulled out her phone and dialed Billy’s number.

The phone only rang once before Mona snatched it away and hung up, then slapped Harleen across the face.

“Don’t act all high and mighty here! Everyone in Ozin knows what kind of person you are. And that child of yours, you don’t know which man is her father, do you?”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“You…” Harleen glared at her.

Mona slapped her again.

“If you don’t sit down on that couch right now and behave yourself, I’ll make sure your face looks ugly!”

At that moment, Billy called back but was hung up on by Mona again before she turned off the phone altogether.

“You bastard!” Harleen shouted. “Let me out now or you’ll regret it!”

Keith strolled over. “I’ve never known what regret feels like my whole life. Serve me well this time around and not only will you get paid handsomely but also earn a higher position in our company. What’s there to lose?”

As he spoke, he grabbed Harleen’s wrist and led her towards the couch.

“Let go of me!” Harleen shouted.

Keith then pushed her down onto the couch.
