Even though he was angry and he couldn't accept being insulted like that by someone he didn't even know, Oliver still put on an ordinary face as if he didn't care.
If Bella had known that Oliver was a former war general of the Red Dragon Clan, she would have thought a million times before insulting Oliver.
This selection test itself, to Oliver, was a small thing. Even with his eyes closed, Oliver could do it!
"Hehehe. Don't be fierce, Ma'am. You're even more beautiful when you're angry," Oliver chuckled lightly, hiding his anger.
"Deadbeat goat! I swear you didn't pass the selection!" Bella glared fiercely at Oliver.
"Look out of the way, didn't you hear what Bella said? You're fit to be a sweeper!" One of the men, who seemed to be a diehard Bella devotee, came forward and pushed Oliver's chest away from Bella.
His friends burst out laughing while looking at Oliver from head to toe. Indeed, the clothes he was wearing looked very shabby compared to the expensive suits worn by Bella worshippers.
Oliver took a breath, letting it out slowly. He had to be calm, not to be provoked. At this moment, the applicants began to return the forms they had filled out.
Oliver shifted his body to the side before being crushed by the horde of people who seemed to be scrambling to get closer to Bella.
Oliver pulled over quietly. There was an unwavering calm and confidence on his face.
Soon, the crowd around Bella died down. Everyone seemed to have finished collecting their forms.
Bella swayed like a mannequin, leaving the hall with a pile of forms under everyone's gaze.
The man who had pushed Oliver's chest earlier came over and stopped right in front of him.
"You like Bella, huh?!" the man rebuked harshly without preamble.
"Huh?" Oliver was shocked.
"If you like Bella, you'd better take a look at yourself! Just so you know, the sweeper at Bella's house is still much cooler than you, who looks like someone who just came down from the mountain! Oh my gosh, you look so dumb! Aren't you ashamed?" the man scolded.
Oliver laughed inwardly at how people only saw what their eyes could see.
"Oh, I see, huh? Thank you for bothering to give me free information. Hehe...," Oliver said flatly.
He was reluctant to deal with this man in front of him because he didn't think he was worth it. What a waste of time!
However, ...
"You're challenging me, aren't you?!" the man snapped, walking closer.
Oliver, who was about to ignore this man's behavior was now annoyed. How could this man seek trouble with the living legend of the Red Dragon Clan!
"I'll keep an eye on you! If you dare to tease Bella again, you're finished. Huh!" the man threatened.
A bluff like that meant nothing to Oliver, of course. He let the man walk away and returned to his group.
Meanwhile, in the distance, it seemed that Bella was approaching them.
"Those whose names will be called, please follow me to the selection room!" Bella's voice rang out clearly.
Bella began to call out names, and it turned out that Oliver was called first. There were about twenty names mentioned by Bella. After calling the last name, she immediately turned around and preceded the applicants to the selection room.
Apparently, the man who had threatened Oliver was also called. Oliver caught a glimpse of the man staring at him with hatred like he was ready to plunge a poisoned knife into his stomach.
Of course, Oliver responded casually. He even smiled, dismissing the man. He and the men arrived at the selection room.
Oliver's name was on the front table. So, he sat down at the designated place.
Meanwhile, the man who had threatened Oliver got the seat right next to Oliver. His name turned out to be 'Harley'.
Bella went around the room, giving instructions on how to start the computer-based written test to the job applicants.
When she reached Harley's table, Bella appeared in a coquettishly soft voice, explaining what Harley should do.
Finished with Harley, Bella moved to Oliver's desk.
"Press this one!" Bella ordered Oliver harshly. "Continue with this one. Fill in your name and details, then click this one."
Bella's voice sounded very sharp in Oliver's ears.
"Then what else, ma'am?" asked Oliver calmly.
"Check the column that matches your answer. I don't understand!"
"Oh yeah, sorry. Hehe..."
Finding a woman as attractive as Bella to be snippy to him, Oliver wanted to tease her even more.
"That's why you shouldn't have signed up in the first place! I'll bet you won't pass! Let alone pass, you won't even pass the passing grade set by the office!" Bella said with hatred.
Because she said it quite loudly, everyone in the room heard every word she said. They were laughing.
At this point, Oliver thought of something.
"What are the stakes if I make it to the passing grade?" he asked.
Bella frowned at first. Then, he laughed and laughed.
"Alright. If you make it pass the passing grade, I'll take you to a candle light dinner! But, if you fail, you will have to prostrate in front of me while you clean my shoes and apologize for your impudence!" he scolded.
"Okay! Challenge accepted! Everyone in this room is a witness!" Oliver said without a second thought.
"Okay. Deal." Bella glanced at Oliver with a satisfied look on her face as she was sure that Oliver would fail.
Bella turned around and stood at the front of the room.
"You have sixty minutes to complete the test, starting from the moment you press the start button!" Bella said loudly and then sat down on her chair and looked around at all the test takers.
At the same time, in the CEO's office upstairs, Carla was talking to Grace, the Director of the PR Department.
Their conversation seemed serious and tough.
Grace was repeatedly seen wiping her sweaty forehead, even though the room was equipped with air conditioning. A few moments later, Bella knocked on Carla's door and asked permission to enter.
Carla and Grace simultaneously turned their heads towards the door with furrowed brows because this was really not the right time for Bella to appear.
Seeing the panic on Bella's face, Carla quickly allowed her to enter.
"What is it, Bella?" asked Carla and Grace in unison.
"There, ma'am. There's a test taker for the PR Manager position who got a perfect score. All the answers are correct!" Bella said in a voice shaking with emotion.
"What?! A perfect score?!" Carla responded, her eyes widening.
