Chapter 72: The Daughter Lost for Many Years
Meredith was especially happy when she received the invitation and went for the interview immediately.
Arriving at the lobby of Falconer Holdings, Meredith realized that there were too many people for this interview, at least five hundred crowded in the lobby.
Just standing in the lobby listening to the surrounding information, Meredith understood that many recent graduates were here for the interview today, with strong academic backgrounds and plenty of experienced job seekers as well.
The difficulty of squeezing into Sterling Corporation was not much different from this.
Meredith was not one to give up easily, the more challenging the task, the more it sparked her fighting spirit.
Holding her resume, Meredith queued up to get a number and waited to be called in for the interview.
After getting her number, Meredith found a place to sit and rest, as she was experiencing some menstrual pain which made it difficult to stand for long.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
She drank two cups of hot water to alleviate the pain.
“Are you here for the interview too?” A beautiful recent graduate approached Meredith for a chat.
Meredith politely replied, “Yes.”
The girl sat down and asked, “Which school did you graduate from? I heard Falconer Holdings is very prestigious in the industry. It would be great if we could get in. I saw a lot of highly educated people earlier, I’m afraid I’ll be eliminated in the first round.”
Meredith encouraged her with a smile, “Don’t lose heart, you won’t know until you try.”
“I’m just here to give it a shot,” the girl smiled. “What’s your name…”
As the two chatted, Meredith didn’t notice someone entering the lobby.
The person who entered through the entrance was none other than Terrence Sterling.
Terrence Sterling was low-profile today, only bringing Rick along.
He was here at Falconer Holdings for a business meeting as per the invitation, and Falconer Holdings’ chairman, Bianca Chaucer, personally came to welcome him with her assistant.
Bianca Chaucer had short curly hair, dressed in a suit, in her fifties, with a very lively spirit. Her smiling face was very welcoming and made people feel at ease.
“Terrence,” Bianca Chaucer reached out her hand, she greatly admired Terrence Sterling, he was one of the best among the young generation.
“Bianca,” Terrence Sterling shook hands with her.
Bianca Chaucer kindly said, “Please come in, Joy was mentioning you a few days ago, she would be delighted to know you’re here.”
The Chaucer family and the Sterling family were old friends, and there was once a betrothal between them.
The engagement between the two families was arranged by Mrs. Sterling and Mrs. Chaucer, the grandmother of Terrence Sterling. Originally, they intended for their children to marry, but with time passing, it was now entrusted to the grandchildren.
Mrs. Chaucer and Mrs. Sterling were once young lovers but due to certain reasons, they couldn’t be together, so they hoped that their descendants would fulfill their wish and marry each other.
As her most outstanding grandson, Terrence Sterling was naturally the best candidate to fulfill the engagement, and Joy Chaucer was the only daughter of the Chaucer family. If the two families were to marry, it would definitely be Joy Chaucer.
However, Mrs. Chaucer passed away, and Mrs. Sterling developed dementia, and neither family mentioned the engagement anymore.
Terrence Sterling casually asked, “Has Joy returned from overseas?”
“She came back last week,” Bianca Chaucer said with a smile. “She went on a trip abroad, this girl, she’s a bit wild.”
Although she said so, when talking about her daughter, Bianca Chaucer’s eyes were full of fondness.
She was her daughter who she lost and found again. Twenty-five years ago, Bianca Chaucer gave birth to a daughter who was stolen by their enemies, and Joy Chaucer was only found when she was fifteen.
Bianca Chaucer naturally doted on this daughter who was lost and found.
Terrence Sterling didn’t delve deeper into this topic and followed Bianca Chaucer towards the elevator.
Rick, who was following Terrence Sterling, glanced back at the waiting area for the interviews and happened to see Meredith.
Miss Florrick was here for an interview at Falconer Holdings?
Rick didn’t waste any time and caught up with Terrence Sterling quickly.
Before entering the elevator, Rick whispered to Terrence Sterling, “Mr. Sterling, I just saw Miss Florrick, it seems like she’s here for an interview.”
At this news, Terrence Sterling’s eyes darkened suddenly. This woman acted really fast.
Looks like she doesn’t plan on returning to Sterling Corporation.
Terrence Sterling secretly signaled for Rick to keep an eye on her and then followed Bianca Chaucer into the elevator.
Rick understood and didn’t follow into the elevator.
Inside the elevator, Bianca Chaucer, in a parental tone, asked, “Terrence, you’re not getting any younger, when do you plan on settling down?”
