Chapter 11
Afraid I wouldn’t believe her, she showed me the record on her phone.[]
It was an internal industry list, circulated among top executives to avoid hiring people with a bad reputation or a criminal record.]
And there was my name and photo, right on the list.[]
The reason listed was: [Insubordinate, unable to work with colleagues, highly jealous, poor character.]]]
I didn’t need to guess who was behind it.]
Seeing my silence, the CEO said without hesitation.[]
“Honey, I know you’re not like that. Someone is definitely trying to sabotage you.“]
“Don’t worry, I’ll remove your name right now.“[]
And with that, she deleted my information.[]
I thanked her.
But inwardly, I couldn’t help a bitter smile.]
I was lucky to have a friend who could help. But I couldn’t imagine what would happen to an ordinary job seeker who ended up on that list. Where would their career go from there?]
I’m not saying the blacklist itself is a bad idea.[]
It undoubtedly helps companies avoid a lot of trouble.]
But no company is going to waste resources verifying the accuracy of the list. They just make decisions based on first impressions.[]
And the people who are wrongly accused just face more and more setbacks.]]
After repeated blows, even the most talented people would lose their courage.]]
What are they supposed to do then?]
Olivia, seeing us still talking, drunkenly threw her arms around our shoulders and pulled us back to the table for another round of drinks.]
When the party finally broke up, Olivia and I made sure everyone got into their cars.[]
Olivia stepped aside to call her girlfriend, while I stood at the hotel entrance waiting for our driver.[]
I hadn’t been waiting long when I heard a voice behind me.[]
1 Mule His Expire After He Mute My Heart
Chapter 11
“Oh, Claire? What are you doing here?”
I turned around and saw Hannah and Liam standing nearby.]
Hannah was clinging to Liam’s arm, their bodies pressed close together, look very bit the couple in love.]
Seeing me, Hannah snorted and said to Liam.[]
“Mr. Moore. I get it now. Claire must be here looking for you.“]
“I’ll give you two some privacy.“[]
She made a show of leaving, but I could tell she had no intention of going anywhere.[]
Sure enough, Liam pulled her closer, pressing her against his chest in a deliberate display of intimacy for my benefit.[]
“You’re not an outsider. Why would you leave?“]
Then, Liam shot me a smug glance.[]
“Didn’t you say you didn’t want another chance? So what are you doing here?“]
“But let me tell you, it’s too late now, Claire. You’ve run out of chances.“[]
His tone was imperious.[]
A stark contrast to the attentive man he was with Hannah.]
I knew he had misunderstood.[]
I explained calmly, “I was having dinner with a friend. We were just about to leave.“]
