McCarthy Group have to wine and dine her? He even offers to double her salary?!'

Blair took a sip of the red wine. She pretended she didn't know his true intention.

"No, I don't think that's a good idea. I'm really happy working with Orion. And being happy every day is much more important than having a high-paid job. I love my job."

“Sure, you have a point." York thought it was unnecessary to beat around the bush anymore. Tapping the table with his fingers, he looked at Blair and said sincerely, “Blair, what about a salary of a million a year, and a swanky apartment downtown? Come to work for us, and we'll offer you bonuses, dividends, on-site healthcare, a gym and restaurants in the building, travel insurance, and all sorts of other benefits

What do you think?"

Blair felt flattered. She was just a translator. Orion had already offered her a good salary and benefits. She didn't expect the McCarthy

Group would be even more generous. However, she didn't want to work for them. Putting down her glass of red wine, she looked at him with gratitude and declined, “Thank you, but..."

Stella did not let Blair finish her words. She snarled at York venomously, "York! She's a mere translator. She doesn't deserve the salary you're offering her! And what's with the special treatment? Does my dad know anything about this?"

York smiled timidly and tried to explain, "Stella, please calm down.

Blair graduated from a very prestigious university. She has an edge compared to the other candidates. Her background is impressive as well.

She has the prerequisites and other certifications suited for the position. The McCarthy Group is in need of a talent Like—"

"Oh, is that so? If she's so competent and so perfect, why not put her in the public relations department?" Stella sarcastically said, abruptly cutting off York's words.

Blair remained silent as she studied Stella's face.

York massaged his forehead as he tried to reason with his boss's daughter.

"Blair used to be the head of the translation department in the Jameson Group. Her verbal skills made her famous in her field.

Aside from translating, she's also good with handling other company matters."

“Okay, are you done buttering her up? Do you know what the average price of a house in Alorith is? Not lower than a few million! You promised her a house in the city! Are you kidding? Will you pay it yourself? But if you want to hire her so badly, I guess it's only fair that we deduct her house fee from your salary. It doesn't look too good, no?"

York was at a loss for words.

Blair was still speechless as before. She couldn't figure out how York was able to deal with a woman as ridiculous as Stella. Blair stood up from her seat and politely said, “Stella, I don't know the reason you're here. I just hope you mind your words from now on. York has a wife. You should know that your words, when heard by the wrong people, might affect his reputation negatively. It would look bad for the all of us."

“I can say whatever I want. Who do you think you are? Who are you to police what I can and cannot say? Do you feel bad now?" Stella pointed a finger at Blair. She was seething in anger. She had never been opposed in her whole life.

Blair took her purse and made her way to the door.

“Thank you for the wonderful dinner, York. I still have a lot of work to do. Goodbye!" And she left despite York's effort.

He followed Blair outside and tried to explain, "Please don't mind

Stella. She's here for a purpose. She came tonight knowing Wesley would be meeting Damon and their other friends here. Blair, please give me another chance. Let's go talk somewhere else, okay?" York knew there was no one to blame but Stella. He was the general manager of the

McCarthy Group, but he was willing enough to stoop down a translator's level. If Stella hadn't come and caused all the fuss, he would have already made a deal with Blair.
