They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System
Chapter 261 - 261 You Were Just Fired

Chapter 261: You Were Just Fired Chapter 261: You Were Just Fired “Come with me.” She didn’t wait for them to respond.

As Nnenna took a step forward, a familiar sound echoed in her mind.

Ding!

“You helped improve Kosi’s self esteem with your actions of refusing to be intimidated and made Lilian a more loyal friend, bringing them both closer to becoming the best versions of themselves.

You earned 40 Good Points!” Her steps faltered slightly at the unexpected notification.

She clenched her fists, feeling warmth bloom in her chest.

It was nice to know her actions were making a real differencw.

Not just for herself, but for the people around her.

The secretary, unaware of Nnenna’s brief moment of surprise, knocked firmly on the large wooden door.

A deep, commanding voice from inside responded.

“Come in.” Without hesitation, the secretary pushed open the door and stepped inside, gesturing for the three girls to follow.

Nnenna, Kosi, and Lilian braced themselves, exchanging uncertain glances as they entered the unknown territory.

The room wasn’t what they had expected.

Instead of an intimidating office filled with luxurious furniture, it was a minimalistic yet elegant space.

A dark wooden desk sat at the center, neatly stacked with paperwork.

Behind it, a man sat with his head lowered, pen gliding smoothly over a document.

“Sir, they are here,” the secretary announced crisply.

The man gave a slight nod, not looking up immediately.

“Good.

You can leave now.” The moment the door clicked shut, an eerie silence fell over the room.

Then, he lifted his head.

Three sets of eyes met his, studying him with curiosity.

He was tall, well dressed, and exuded an air of quiet authority.

But just as he began to examine them, something strange happened, when his gaze landed on Nnenna, his entire demeanor shifted.

For a brief second, a visible look of shock flashed across his face.

The reaction was so quick that Kosi and Lilian didn’t catch it.

But Nnenna did.

Her heart pounded.

Did he… recognize her?

That was impossible.

She had never met this man before.

She was certain of it.

And yet, his eyes held something, familiarity?

Surprise?

Amusement?

She subtly adjusted the cap on her head, making sure it was snugly in place.

She wasn’t ready for anyone to uncover her identity, not yet.

The man recovered swiftly.

His face returned to its calm, unreadable state, and he cleared his throat before speaking.

“I called you three here because you seem like fine employees,” he stated smoothly.

“You were just fired, correct?” The girls stiffened slightly.

They didn’t expect him to bring it up so bluntly.

“Yes, sir,” Kosi answered cautiously.

He leaned back slightly, tapping his fingers against the desk.

“That boutique lost valuable workers today.

Their loss.” Then, after a brief pause, he continued, “I believe you three would make a great addition to my team.” The room fell into stunned silence.

Lilian’s mouth fell open.

Kosi blinked in disbelief.

Nnenna’s brows furrowed slightly, still wary.

This man…

wanted to hire them?

The three girls stood frozen, their minds struggling to process what they had just heard.

A job?

On the top floor?

This had to be a dream.

Lilian was the first to find her voice.

“W-What do you mean, sir?” she stammered, almost unable to believe what she had just heard.

The man’s expression remained calm, his fingers tapping lightly against the desk.

“I mean,” he repeated smoothly, “I would like to give you three a place on my team.” Silence.

They just stood there, staring at him, their brains refusing to catch up.

Then, in their heads, their thoughts screamed in unison.

“We’re going to work on the top floor?!” Excitement surged through them, but before they could react, the man spoke again.

Tthis time, dropping a bombshell that left them even more shocked.

“The positions I’m offering are not ordinary sales positions.” His sharp gaze moved between the three of them.

“I need a General Recruiting Manager, a General Head Accountant, and my personal assistant.

But not just an assistant for handling files, an assistant who will follow me everywhere I go.” The girls stiffened.

Lilian’s eyes went wide.

Kosi clapped a hand over her mouth.

Nnenna felt her heartbeat skip.

This wasn’t just any job offer.

This was a once in a lifetime opportunity.

They had assumed he meant hiring them as salesgirls, maybe in one of the luxurious stores on the top floor.

That alone would have been a huge step up.

But this?

This was beyond anything they had ever imagined.

He wasn’t offering them ordinary jobs.

He was offering them power.

Authority.

And a direct connection to the man who ran everything on the top floor.

The realization hit them like a lightning strike.

The man raised a brow at their continued silence, his voice smooth but expectant.

“Well?

Would you like to fill these positions?” The three of them could do nothing but stare, their minds still caught in a whirlwind of shock and disbelief.

The man leaned back in his chair, a knowing look in his sharp eyes.

“Not to mention,” he added smoothly, “that your resumes fit these positions perfectly.

You’ve already been doing similar work at your previous jobs.” Lilian and Kosi blinked.

He had checked their records?

Of course, he had.

Someone in his position wouldn’t make random decisions.

He already knew what they were capable of.

For the two girls, this made perfect sense.

They had experience in recruitment and accounting.

But for Nnenna?

Her role had been different.

She had worked as a simple staff member, nothing close to being an assistant to a high ranking figure.

Still, the offer stood.

And the answer was obvious.

“YES!!” Their voices nearly cracked with excitement, high pitched and full of disbelief.

The man chuckled at their reaction, raising an eyebrow.

Realizing how loud they had been, the girls quickly cleared their throats, attempting to compose themselves.

“Uh, I mean… yes,” Lilian corrected, trying to act calm.

Kosi nodded furiously.

“Absolutely!

Yes, sir!” ————————————————- Welcome to a new month guys!

I’m glad you made it 🌻
