Chapter 436:
This response only made the group laugh louder.
“Didn’t you catch what we said before? Nolan, a member of the McCoy family, knows Jeff well! Just a few words from him, and your chances of employment are nil!” Their boisterous claims intimidated the onlookers even further.
Initially, some men who wanted to support the girl and gain favor retreated, remaining silent. Despite being outnumbered, the girl stood her ground, continuing to challenge Nolan and his associates for Ashton’s sake.
Although she felt a strong sense of justice, she was unable to overcome the many opposing voices.
Ashton watched all this unfold, feeling a mix of empathy and helplessness due to the apathy of the crowd. This episode left a significant impression on him regarding the girl.
He then observed her more closely. She appeared to be a recent college graduate, dressed in a slightly worn T-shirt and large black-framed glasses. Her youthful features gave her a charming look. Her cheeks…
were tinged with excitement, adding to her charm. After assessing Nolan and his group, Ashton approached the girl.
“Thank you for speaking up for me. What’s your name?” he inquired.
Carlotta Santos replied with a hint of annoyance, “My name is Carlotta Santos. Is this really the time to be hitting on me p>
Ashton chuckled and shook his head. “No, I simply wanted to express my gratitude for your intervention. Don’t worry about these people. They will face their consequences eventually p>
Deciding it was best not to stay any longer, Ashton readied himself to continue with his interview process and stepped out of the line.
As Ashton departed, Nolan and his group erupted in laughter.

“Weren’t you just acting brave, stopping us from cutting in line? Now that you realize you won’t be hired after crossing Nolan, have you resigned yourself to defeat?” one of them jeered.
Carlotta was puzzled by Ashton’s actions. He had seemed resolute just a moment ago, so why the sudden departure? Was it possible that he had lost his nerve, as they suggested?
Disappointed, Carlotta shook her head, but her resolve kept her firmly in place, refusing to let Nolan and his group bypass her in line.
Given the crowd of onlookers, Nolan and his men were limited in how far they could escalate the situation.
Frustrated by Carlotta’s defiance, Nolan eventually snapped. “Fine! You won’t move from your spot? Then we’ll queue right behind you! When it’s our turn, I’ll report you to Jeff. Don’t come pleading for mercy then!” he threatened.
Despite feeling intimidated, Carlotta bit her lip nervously and turned away, steadfast in her decision to wait for her interview without yielding.
After exiting the line of applicants, Ashton returned to the company’s interview room.
Inside the interview room was a small lounge, where Jeff was enjoying coffee while reviewing the company’s history.
