A Life Beyond Limits novel Chapter 122

Even the interviewer, Thomas Cox, who was also the president of the Alnewgo University student council, was impressed by the guy with the mustache, Ronald Gardner. Luca almost hired him on the spot.

However, since more candidates were still left to interview, Thomas had to continue. But it was clear he had already made up his mind. The rest of the interviews became a mere formality, and he dismissed each candidate in just a few words.

When it was finally Jack's turn, Phoebe's expression showed a brief flicker of concern.

She worried that Thomas might deliberately make things difficult for Jack since he had already found his top pick.

The moment Jack sat down, another interviewer, Mia Goff, swiftly pulled out a printed speech and coldly ordered, "You have one minute to read this."

Jack took the paper and glanced at it quickly. It was nearly five hundred words long.

Before he could fully take it in, Mia snatched the paper back and said flatly, "Now, recite it from memory."

The entire room went dead silent.

Jack cursed internally.

This was clearly a setup. They were supposed to give him a fair shot, yet they only allowed him ten seconds to glance at the speech before expecting him to recite it. That was impossible.

The other interviewers also noticed Mia's blatant attempt to trip him up. But they all knew she was only doing it because Thomas had signaled her to. So, no one spoke up.

Except Phoebe.

Her displeasure was evident as she muttered, "Mia, we're just hiring a radio host. This level of difficulty is completely unreasonable."

Mia had already planned to give Jack a hard time—partly because she was jealous of Phoebe. But now that Phoebe had openly called her out, Mia hesitated. After all, Phoebe's influence on campus far outweighed hers.

To her surprise, Thomas chimed in, fully backing Mia up, "Phoebe, our broadcasting program is one of the best in the country. It's a signature of Alnewgo University. We need to uphold our high standards and only hire the most capable."

With Thomas' support, Mia regained her confidence. "Exactly! That's what I meant."
