Chapter 45: Recruitment Drive
By the time Eleanor finished interviewing all 37 candidates from the Blanc Clan, it was already noon. She leaned back in her chair, rubbing her temple gently, feeling the weight of the long morning press against her shoulders.
The candidates came from a wide range of professions... Accountants, Lawyers, Public Relations Officers, Data Engineers, Software Engineers, HR Officers, Project Managers, Content Writers, Receptionists, Cleaning and Maintenance Staff, Drivers, and Maids. A complete workforce walked through her doors, ready to serve.
Among them, sixteen women possessed shadow powers. Eleanor had expected as much. From her understanding, these women had originally trained with the Shadow Guard but hadn’t been able to complete the grueling process. Instead, they had chosen alternative careers to support themselves.
Without hesitation, she called Teresa to her office and handed her twenty-three CVs.
"These candidates have experience in various fields," Eleanor said, her voice firm. "Recruit them into appropriate departments immediately."
Then, she picked up the remaining CVs and held out one to Teresa. "This one here is a female driver. I’ve decided to assign her to you. Take one of the Range Rovers for yourself and appoint her as your personal driver. She’s trustworthy. In fact, all the applicants are reliable... they’ve served the Raynor family for generations. They won’t betray us."
Teresa blinked. "I can drive my own car. Besides, a Range Rover is a bit too flashy for my taste."
Eleanor’s gaze sharpened. "You don’t get a say in this. I’ll be traveling outside the Kingdom soon to establish our international businesses. Nigeria is already in progress. You’ll need to stay here and act in my stead."
She paused, then added, "My current driver is also a trained bodyguard. I intended the same for you, but after meeting this female driver, I changed my mind. She’s single and willing to live with you for convenience and security."
Teresa sighed. "Okay, okay. Whatever you say, Boss."
Eleanor leaned back and crossed her arms. "I didn’t mention this before, but there was an attack on me two days ago. As a result, I’ve decided to purchase all the villas surrounding mine. I want to relocate my bodyguards and household staff into those homes."
