Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1385

Chapter 1385: Job interview

As soon as Patricia walked into the room, she immediately sensed a shift in the atmosphere. The air was tense, and so were the people walking in with her. Scanning the room, she spotted four individuals seated at a long table—three men and one woman. In the corner, another person stood.

It was Penny.

’What is she doing there?’ Patricia wondered, eyeing Penny, who was leaning against the wall, her gaze fixed on the glass partition. Penny didn’t seem interested in the proceedings—not that she was bothering anyone. In fact, no one would have noticed her unless they deliberately looked.

She was more like a decoration with very little presence. Patricia almost found it strange because Penny always carried herself with such presence that one couldn’t deny. However, she didn’t dwell in it.

As the applicants took their seats, they faced the panelists across the table.

’Damn...’ Patricia mentally winced as her eyes landed on a familiar face right in the middle. ’Nina’s cousin is here too.’

This was bad.

She felt like she had already lost points before the interview even started.

’It’s okay, it’s okay!’ Patricia reassured herself. ’He’s a professional. They all are! They won’t let personal matters interfere... as long as I ace this. I mean, I’ve changed and I’ll show him that!’

The only woman on the panel studied the applicants before exchanging a glance with her colleagues. After receiving a nod, she turned back to the group.

"Let’s begin," she announced coolly. "Please introduce yourselves and walk us through your resumes."

She then gestured to the man on the far end to start.

The first applicant spoke, giving a precise summary of his background and highlighting key achievements. The panelists listened attentively, nodding before moving on to the next candidate. The second applicant followed, delivering his introduction with equal composure.

Patricia’s heart pounded louder in her ears as her turn drew closer.

’This is unfair!’ she panicked inwardly. ’Why do they all have so many accomplishments?!’

She discreetly scratched her cheek and averted her gaze. Maybe if she didn’t look at the speakers, she wouldn’t feel so nervous.

But then, the next person beside her started talking.

"My name is Teddy Arthur..."

Patricia’s brows lifted slightly. She snuck a glance at him, her expression twitching the more he spoke. His confident, articulate manner made him sound even more impressive than the previous applicants. And if she was going to be honest, she would definitely hire him if she were one of the panelists.

’Wow...’ she thought. ’I glanced at his resume earlier, but I didn’t think he had all this.’

The panelists nodded in satisfaction. It was clear they were impressed. Then, their gazes shifted to Patricia.

"Miss Miller?" the head of Human Resources called.

Patricia hadn’t realized she had zoned out. Only when she was called the second time did she snap out of her momentary daze.
