Chapter 301


    “I’ll leave you to your work then.”


    Grandma May did not take up too much of her grandson’s time.


    After the phone call, Zachary put his phone on the desk and leaned back against his ck swivel chair


    while resting his right elbow against the arm of the chair for his hand to brush his chin. His chin felt


    prickly. It was time to shave.


    Elisa and his wife were getting on well.


    Should he figure out a way to wreck their rtionship?


    The girls would be best friends at this rate. Elisa was bound to find out that Serenity was her love


    rival when Zachary spilled the beans to Serenity about his identity. Rage would drive Elisa to take it out


    on Serenity since the former would not be able to let it go.


    With Zachary around, he would not allow Elisa to harm Serenity.


    Zachary contemted for a while before giving up on that thought.


    He was not someone who could not protect his wife. Why should he be scared of Elisa?


    The girls should bond as they liked. It would only do Serenity good to hit it off with Elisa. At least, Elisa


    would go to bat for her.


    People would think it was Elisa who was running things


    behind the scene instead of him. It aided his purpose to remain incognito.


    Zachary refused to admit that he had no control over Serenity’s circle of friends.


    “I’m sorry. The way you carry yourself doesn’t go with our brand. You might want to look elsewhere.”

    Before Liberty could sit down, the female interviewer with a slender figure handed Liberty her resume


    back while giving Liberty a look of disdain.


    Dumbstruck at first, Liberty soon turned flushed as she took her resume from the woman.


    Out of the many interviews she had, this interviewer was the most blunt to say her appearance was not


    befitting their vacant post.


    She was only applying for an administrative clerk position in the finance department. As someone who


    had made it to a directorial position, Liberty had set her sights low but she was still rejected.


    Crunching her resume, Liberty forced a smile and asked the interviewer, “Can I ask why my image isn’t


    what thepany is looking for?”


    The woman stared at her thick waistline and replied, “Since you asked, I’m going to be honest.


    Although we don’t have


    high expectations for the clerks in finance more than we have for receptionists, look at you. You must


    be at least two


    hundred pounds heavy. I bet you struggle to walk at that weight. How could you pig yourself out?”


    C


    Liberty went red in the face. A whileter, she asked in


    anticipation, “I will keep up with the weight loss. Miss, I really need a job. Can you give me a chance? I


    have the experience to handle the job well.”


    It seemed nowadays people on a job hunt were fat–shamed.


    “It’s your business to lose weight. We only have one vacancy, but there are many applicants who are


    far better than you. We have so many people to choose from.”


    Sure, the fat woman was a finance director and had more than enough experience, but she had been


    out of work for years. Plus, she had a two–year–old at home. Who knew if the fat woman was going to


    have a second child?


    Maybe the fat woman would get pregnant a couple of months into the job. Thepany would not be


    able to dismiss her and be left to pay for her maternity leave.


    Besides, there were many applicants after any position in


    Lewis & Co.


    It was not like thepany could not fill the position as they were not short of talented candidates. The


    interviewer had no


    rtion to the fat woman, so the former had no obligation or need to hire thetter.


    Liberty knew that the interview was a bust. She could not hold back at the thought that the woman


    rejected her for her size. Liberty said, “Yourpany won’tst long with employees like you who


    judge people by their appearances.


    “Yes, I’m fat, but who’s to say fat people can’t work? You’re making it out like it’s a beauty contest when


    you’re hiring for a clerical position. Fine. Have it your way. I don’t care.”


    Having been put in her ce, the woman grew furious and pointed at the door while snapping at


    Liberty, “You fat cow! Get out of here! So what if I think you’re fat? So what if I refuse to hire you?”
