Forget some distant niece even his own close cousins who used to be on good terms had been shown the door by him if they didn’t measure up during the evaluations.

Faced with Wilson’s hopeful expression, Sebastian remained his usual cool, businesslike self.

“Torres Group holds regular recruitment cycles every spring and fall for all positions. If you believe her qualifications are a match, Wilson, she’s welcome to apply through the standard company process-just submit her materials to HR.

“The requirements for each role, along with the interview stages, are clearly listed on our website and in the job postings. If she has what it takes, she’ll earn her place.”

Looking at Wilson’s shrewd, aging face, Sebastian came off as detached, almost

Wilson felt the young man was like a stone-impossible to get through to, no give at all.

His expression darkened, and he tried pulling rank, adopting the tone of an elder schooling a younger. “Seb, you’re being too rigid here. What major corporation doesn’t keep a few trusted people in key positions? If the water’s too clear, there won’t be any fish- do Freally have to spell that out for you?”

The more he spoke, the more agitated he grew, and his habit of asserting authority took over. He narrowed his eyes and pressed, “Are you and your father suggesting that because Teresa doesn’t carry the Torres name, she isn’t family?

“Her grandmother was young when she came with me, and she’s stood by me all these years without a word of complaint. Out of all my grandchildren, Teresa is the most accomplished-top of her class, sharp, quick on her feet. Do you really think I’d do anything to harm Torres Group?”

Faced with this morally charged line of questioning, Sebastian raised a brow slightly and threw a question back, his tone calm but every word hitting its mark. “You’ve got quite a few companies and ventures under your own name too, don’t you, Wilson? If Teresa is as outstanding as you say, and she’s your most cherished grandchild-surely with your resources and connections, you could place her in a suitable position yourself?”

“You-!” Wilson was instantly left speechless, his face flushing a deep shade of purple. It took him a long moment to catch his breath.

Truth be told, even if Wilson refused to admit it, Sebastian knew the situation well.

Wilson’s overseas ventures might have looked respectable on paper, but they operated on a modest scale. Having spent years abroad, Teresa’s expectations had grown-naturally, she saw those operations as too small for her ambitions.

Domestically, the businesses had always been tightly held by the family from Wilson’s first marriage. The heirs guarded their turf closely and would never accept Teresa-a child from the second wife’s side-having any real influence.

Without solid standing and facing internal exclusion, Teresa’s current position had become awkward.

Too good for the smaller opportunities, yet not positioned for the bigger ones-her best hope was to make a leap into the sizable pond of Torres Group.

Watching from the sidelines, Wayne felt the tension had built enough. If his son kept going, Wilson might very well lase his temper right then and there.

He stepped in at just the right moment, feigning a light scold. “Seb! Is that any way to speak to Wilson? He thinks highly of you-

that’s why he’s willing to part with his carefully raised granddaughter and entrust her to you. It’s for the good of Torres Group’s future!”

Turning back, Wayne put on a warm, conciliatory smile and gently explained to the fuming Wilson, “Wilson, don’t take it to heart. This kid has only gotten more stubborn since he took over the company.

“His standards for the executive/office are unreasonably high now. On top of that, his schedule is packed-heavy workload, endless meetings, networking events. That’s why all his current assistants and secretaries are seasoned guys who’ve been with the group for years. There genuinely isn’t an opening available at the moment.”

Here, Wayne sounded utterly sincere. “Besides, Wilson, Seb just got married not long ago. With all the eyes on him as the new head of Torres Group, imagine what would happen if a bright, capable young woman suddenly appeared as his personal secretary?

“The gossip blogs and tabloids would have a field day. False rumors would hurt Seb’s reputation, and they’d be even worse for Teresa’s. Don’t you agree?”

With this one-two approach, Wayne not only preserved Wilson’s dignity but also raised the two sensitive issues-the recent marriage and public image-leaving Wilson no real room to argue, however unwilling he felt.

Both the project propo sat stiffly, the deep generation.
