After being laid off from her company, Lily Stewart has been actively looking for a job that could meet her expenses. She is almost out of her savings and the job market is depressing. She has been applying for jobs for months but there was no luck. She is a simple woman trying to earn her bread and butter. She recently broke up with her boyfriend after she lost her job, and she could not support her boyfriend financially. Losing a relationship, job, and livelihood, she grew desperate for a job to get herself busy to cope with life's challenges. Her lucky day came soon, and she was called for an interview at McCarthney Real Estates Private Limited for the post of assistant to the CEO. Did she get through and if yes, what happens next is a read for curiosity!!
"Tell me about yourself." The CEO asked Lily. He decided to take the interview himself as he wanted to make sure that his assistant meets all his standards and expectations.
"I am Lily Stewart from Leyan City. I have completed my degree in management and have been working as a writer for eleven years. I was one of the unfortunate employees to be laid off from the company I was working for and have been looking for a job since then." She paused.
"Okay, stop. How old are you considering your eleven years of experience?" He asked with a suspicious look.
"I am thirty years old now. I started working from the age of nineteen." She clarified but grew nervous.
"You don't look like a thirty-year-old woman, and you are completely flat on the front. I hope you are not lying about your age to get this job."
"I am sorry. I didn't get you." She was clueless.
"I mean, look at yourself. Stand up and give me a side look." He ordered. She uncomfortably moved her body sideways to give him a side look. She was feeling extremely humiliated.
"I don't see anything feminine or any woman trait. One of the biggest traits in the front portion. I expect some elevation on the front. It's just so flat. Only children will have them underdeveloped. Do you want to speak out your real age?" He had a tone of warning that sent chills in her spine.
"I am sorry, but you are accusing me of nothing. I can show you my government ID card." She said firmly. He could already see her sweating.
"It could be fake. I will give you one more chance. Open the first two buttons of your shirt. I want to see them. I should expect some mass in that region." He ordered.
"What? This is inappropriate and more like sexual assault. You cannot ask a candidate to show her private parts just out of some proof of age." She defended herself.
"I am not interested to see your private parts. I don't even care if they are small or smaller. If you are a woman, it will have at least little mass until there is some medical cause." He explained himself.
She was convinced but still not comfortable to do so. He stared at her in a cold manner signaling that he is waiting for her to show it. She understood.
She sadly opened the first two buttons of her shirt and exposed her bra.
"I don't see anything. Maybe move your shirt a little apart and give me a side look." He spoke.
"This is awkward. I cannot believe that I need to prove my age by showing off my breast. It is not my fault I look so young, but nobody asked me to do this. This is inappropriate. I think I will leave now." She said angrily.
"No wait, this may actually work. Now, I see it. I expected a little elevation though. You are selected." He gave his verdict on the spot.
She was surprised to hear that and gave him an expression of confusion.
"Please sit down. I will mail you your contract soon and once you sign back, the HR will send you the joining details along with formalities."
"But you didn't ask me any of the questions related to my work." She buttoned her shirt and checked if he was looking but he wasn't. She was surprised. She couldn't believe what happened few moments ago and she is still feeling awkward. The CEO of McCarthney Real Estates just checked her breast to confirm her a job.
"You may go now. I have a meeting to attend. The HR will contact you and please finish the formalities at the earliest." He said and stood up taking a file in his hand.
"Thank you for the job offer but it was very awkward for me." She spoke in a sad and confusing tone.
He looked at her angrily for accusing him and mentioning the word 'awkward' again and again. He gave one last furious look to her and said, "I will send the contract soon."
He walked away with the file leaving her alone in the office.
She felt weak and was almost in tears. She said to herself, 'I can't believe I had to unbutton my shirt to get a job, but I need this job desperately. I have debts to clear and desperately looking for a job. This could be faith, and this was meant to happen.'
She stood up, wiped her tears, and walked out of the office confidently.
The CEO watched her from the camera room that was inside the board room, and he felt bad for her. Was he too harsh on her? He thought to himself. Probably he had trust issues when it came to women as they all tried to impress him or seduce him all the time. He was at least glad to give her a chance in the job and noticing that she was crying silently, he felt an eerie feeling under him.
He thought with a smile on his face that he was not aware of, 'there are women who are ready to go naked in front of me and this woman had issues just to show me a small portion of her breast that will prove her to be a woman. She is different and special.'
He walked outside the room with a smile on his face and the directors were shocked to see him in a good mood.
