The Ice-Cold Executive Gets A Wife Novel - Chapter 57

Sophia, who knew the story behind that, was speechless.

Receiving Sebastian’s affirmation, Olivia got even more excited and asked, “Is that so? Bro, we share the same thoughts. Although Sophia is very outstanding and could meet their recruitment criteria, such a great company must have exploited its employees to grow this large. Sophia, a pregnant woman, would definitely not be able to withstand the stress. If you ask me, why don’t you give your juniors some leeway since you own a company, too? Even if it’s through the formal recruitment process, Sophia will definitely not let you down. You only need to take care of her a little more when she’s there.”

Sebastian did not explain. “As long as Sophia can enter my company through the formal recruitment process, I will definitely care for her a little more. At least, I can guarantee that I will not exploit her.”

Olivia asked excitedly, “So, bro, what is your company’s name?”

“NRTE.”

Olivia was speechless.

Sophia could not help but laugh out loud.

This was even more awkward than saying bad things about someone who just happened to be involved.

After comforting the somewhat traumatized Olivia, Sophia rebuked, “I was nudging you to shut up, but you ignored me.”

Olivia muttered, “I was thinking on your behalf. I was afraid that you would overwork.”

Olivia had a big heart, so she immediately calmed herself down and tried to make up for what she had just said. “Bro, you’re really amazing. To build such a huge company at such a young age is impressive.”

Sebastian maintained a poker face. “You flatter me. It’s all because I exploited my employees that I achieved this.”

He was using the circumstance to his advantage.

At least Olivia might feel hurt, too.

She was like an injured dog, not daring to say another word.

Sophia did not want it to be awkward. “NRTE is a well-known company in the industry. The employees are given a lot of great benefits. There’s no such thing as exploitation. Bro, are you dissing your company because you’re angry?”

“No.” Sebastian smiled, proving that he was not angry. “Am I a temperamental person to you?”

Sophia thought carefully. She knew that the polite answer to such a question should be ‘no’. But Sebastian was indeed a very temperamental man to her.

She should be more careful with her words around such a temperamental person. But for some reason, she somehow felt that he would not bother with her this time.

Like the other day when she found the courage to call him ‘bro’. Although he was not in the right mood, he did not bother her.

Therefore, Sophia nodded calmly. “Yes. Aren’t you?”

Sebastian choked and looked at her silently through the rearview mirror.

“So, bro, are you angry?”

Sebastian replied, “… No.”

Olivia was speechless.

She suddenly felt as if she had been treated differently.

Sophia nodded seriously. “It seems that my impression of you is a little rigid. Are you an easy-going person?”

Sebastian felt that Sophia was a little lacking in manners. She especially liked to take advantage of a little leeway, and after giving her a little of that, she became arrogant.

Her words had implied meanings.

He felt that he was being led by the nose, and he was not convinced. However, he could not teach her a lesson right then.

It made him feel as if he was sitting on needles.

He changed the topic. “Even if I am easy-going, I won’t make an exception for you.’

“I don’t need someone to make an exception for me.” Sophia was very proud. “With my capabilities, no company would refuse me. That’s not a smart move.”

Sebastian commented, “You seem very confident.”

“Of course, confidence comes with a straight-A student. And if you can’t even be confident that you’re the best in your major, that would be too bad for you.”

“Indeed, but confidence is not enough. Let’s not talk about NRTE. Every job on Wall Street is not easy to get. Moreover, you have to admit that pregnancy is a disadvantage.”

“I know.” It was not that Sophia had not thought about this, but she was not worried. “I will prove to everyone that I can work, even with a baby.”

She did not think that the baby was a burden. No matter what happened next, the baby was the closest family member she would have to face everything together.

“I just need a chance to compete fairly.”

Sebastian paused as if he had been convinced. He said calmly, “Then, I’ll wait and see.”

Sebastian had toned down a lot compared to his attitude at the hospital and in the lecture hall.

“However, there are not many positions open at NRTE. Have you thought about what you want to apply for?”

Sophia hesitated. “1 want to apply for an assistant financial analyst position.”

Sebastian replied, “… what a choice.”

That role was in a department that was said to be the most demanding in NRTE..
