After the man left, Elspeth dealt with the company’s other issues.
Since the talent management company was a part of Azure Corporation, it didn’t need its own building. With how tall of a building Azure owned, they could just turn one of the floors into its designated office.
Hence, the most important thing right then was gathering talents.
Later, Elspeth published a notice online, announcing that Azure Corporation had decided to establish a talent management company. Those who were interested were welcome to apply for the job, and those proactive would be considered first.
Many would probably think twice despite being tempted if it was a week ago. But now, Azure Corporation had the Jonesons and the Carrs’ support. Not only were they powerful, but they had unfathomable backgrounds as well.
Just like that, Azure’s hotline had been ringing off the hook for one hour since the notice was published. In fact, some even arrived at the office, saying they wanted to apply for the job.
It amused yet frustrated Elspeth. In the end, she got someone to lead them to the fourteenth floor for an interview, then entrusted the whole thing to Angela.
Later in the afternoon, she received a call from Angela.
“Miss Elspeth, please come over. Someone here is demanding to see you,”
she said with a whine.
Ever since Angela defended Elspeth in front of everyone, she started calling Elspeth Miss Elspeth like Harper normally would.
“Why me?”
Elspeth closed her laptop, stretched, then rubbed her sore neck.
“I don’t know either. He just demanded to see you and said that you should come here.”
Angela glanced at the cynical teenager beside her while speaking as cold sweat gathered on her forehead.
Who knew what was running through the teenager’s mind? He just sat there with his leg crossed the moment he entered the interview room, behaving audaciously and asking where Elspeth was.
Worse, he insisted that he would wait until Elspeth personally interviewed him, even though she had already told him their CEO was busy.
With so many people watching, Angela didn’t dare shoo him away either. In the end, she could only call Elspeth for help.
“Alright, I got it. I’ll go over right away,”
answered Elspeth as she suppressed her annoyance. Likewise, she was curious about the person audacious enough to make such an outrageous demand.
After arriving at the interview room, Elspeth was rendered stupefied when her inspecting gaze landed on the teenager.
He’s the kid I saw in the Winthrop Group’s elevator!
The fair teenager was charming and handsome, and he had a boy-next-door feel to him.
After gradually coming to herself, Elspeth walked over to the desk and checked his profile. It was written there he was 18 years old. Well, what do you know? He really is a kid.
“Why do you insist that I interview you?”
It was after confirming she was Elspeth that the teenager responded with the smile in his eyes remaining.
“I told you I’m a fan the other time, right? Is there anything wrong with a fan wanting to meet their idol?”
he said.
Nope, there’s nothing wrong with your words-it’s just your way of thinking! At that, Elspeth narrowed her eyes, which were laced with a hint of judgment.
“You’re Jethro Wilstone, am I right?”
The young woman was rather familiar with the last name.
If it was to say that Blaydal’s powers were split among the Jonesons, Carrs, Paynes, and Whites, and the Winthrops dominated Damoria, then the royalty of Croit would be the Wilstones.
It just so happened that the name of the heir apparent of the Wilstone Family was also Jethro.
“Yeah.”
Jethro stood up. His towering six feet height shrouded Elspeth in a shadow.
“Is there a problem?”
Meanwhile, Elspeth sized up the ‘boy’ while musing, Are the Wilstones willing to let their heir apparent become a social media influencer? If this gets to the Wilstones, surely they’ll accuse me of leading their heir astray!
“Sorry, we can’t accept you.”
He became visibly upset as his smile faded a little.
“Why not?”
“Mr. Wilstone, if you’re just here to experience the real world, then there’s no need for that. I’m sure you’ve heard about the things we’ve just gone through. It’d be great if we don’t have another problem to handle.”
At that, Jethro strode slowly toward Elspeth like a predator, forcing the young woman to back up into the corner of the desk before propping his arms on her sides, trapping her in, and forcing her to look right at him.
“I won’t cause you any trouble, Miss Elspeth. I really want to stay here, and I really want to become a social media influencer too!”
He beamed brilliantly as he spoke.
“Pretty please, with a cherry on top!”
The whole thing happened so smoothly that even Elspeth was slightly taken aback.
The teenager had just become a legal adult, yet he was already able to do what a womanizer could.
If he didn’t have his status and identity, she’d actually consider taking in a flirtatious incubus.
Too bad…
“There’s no way I’ll let you join my company.”
“Why?”
Jethro shrugged in defeat. He thought he would’ve wooed her with the move, but who’d have thought it did nothing at all?!
“Haven’t I just said? This isn’t an issue that only involves you.”
If the Wilstones showed up at her doorstep to find their precious heir out in public and working a second-rate job as a social media influencer, she wouldn’t be surprised if they assassinated her.
“But my family knows that I’ve come to be a social media influencer, and they’re quite supportive of me.”
His words shocked Elspeth, and she reached a finger out to poke the barely legal adult’s shoulder.
“Don’t mimic and deceive others when you’ve only recently become an adult, kiddo.”
She was six years his senior, so she wasn’t wrong to call him a kid.
“I’m not lying.”
Seeing that she still didn’t believe him, Jethro pulled his phone out of his pocket and played her a clip, where the entire Wilstone Family was smiling while they sat on the couch.
“Miss Lynwood, my son keeps telling me that he wants to work in your company. Coincidentally, we were thinking of training him, so we hope you can treat him well.”
Elspeth honestly didn’t think he would pull a clip out, let alone the fact that the Wilstones were so liberal.
Then again, you guys are being a little too liberal, don’t you think?
Nonetheless, since the Wilstones already put it that way, she’d just begrudgingly make him a signed talent.
“Another thing, Jethro. I forgot to ask you earlier. Why did your parents ask me to guide you?”
It wasn’t until later that Elspeth registered the fact that Jethro’s parents trusted her a lot for some reason.
