Chapter 49
Patrick was applying for a position in the technical safety department. The interview process was not as
complicated as the translation department. Moreover, his skills had been deemed a fit for the role, so he
had successfully made it through.
He had intended to wait for Genevieve to be done with her test before accompanying her to the hospital
However, just as they finished lunch and left the cafeteria, he received a call from Steven asking for his
help.
He had no choice but to go and help Steven out.
Hence, Genevieve went to the break room to rest for a little while. When the clock struck two in the
afternoon, she headed toward the test venue.
As Central Group‘s building was large, interviews for each department were held on different floors.
The translation department‘s interview process was a little special, so the conference rooms on the
twelfth floor were exclusively for the translation department‘s use over the next several days.
When Genevieve and another interviewee‘s names were called, they entered the test venue they had
been directed to.
The room had been arranged to look like a mini–conference room. Several men sat at the front of the
table, speaking in hushed tones with the invigilators,
One of the three invigilators was Jenny, who Genevieve had met in the morning.

Genevieve and the other interviewee greeted her.
When Genevieve entered the soundproof booth, Jenny assisted her in setting up the equipment and took
the opportunity to whisper, “The target language is Ustranasion. The test is easy, so you don‘t have to
worry.”
“Can it be Granatanolan instead?” Genevieve asked.
Jenny was slightly taken aback. “Yes... But Granatanolan is more challenging. In addition, the other
interviewee will be interpreting in Ustranasion. If her interpretation is more accurate, it would not be
advantageous for you.”
“To be frank, Granatanolan is more of my forte. Please do what you have to do. I would be working for
you in the future, and I would need your guidance,” Genevieve replied with a smile.
With that, Genevieve had left a better impression on Jenny.
As someone who had hustled for a long time in Central Group and worked her way up to be the second–
in–command of the translation department, Jenny was not easily fooled.
She had happened to meet Patrick when he had come to Central Group to look for Steven in the past.
After asking someone from the secretarial department, she found out that Patrick was Steven‘s younger
brother
Hence, when Patrick hit on her in the cafeteria, Jenny agreed to go easy on Genevieve. That way, she

could use this to call in a favor from Steven in the future.
Since Genevieve refused her help, she would just let it slide.
Soon, the test began.
Genevieve had interacted with tourists from various countries when she traveled around the world with
Cooper in the past. Moreover, Cooper had occasionally sent her overseas to assist him in his work,
hence allowing her opportunities to refine her language skills.
In addition, she was confident in her command of Granatanolan. The interpretation test was a lot easier
than the written test.
Outside the soundproof booth, the invigilators exchanged glances with each other.
Along time later, one of the invigilators removed his earphones. There was a shocked yet impressed
expression on his face. “I‘ve been an invigilator for this test for many years, but this is the first time I‘ve
seen such a remarkable interpretation.”
Apart from Jenny, two other invigilators were not from the translation department.
They could not understand Granatanolan, but they had watched the examination video an hour before
the test.
As Genevieve delivered her simultaneous interpretation, they would compare it with the video that was in
Granatanolan. They were pleasantly shocked at the speed and accuracy at which Genevieve had

Jenny was astonished as well. She could not help the bitter smile that slowly formed on her face.
I thought she refused my help because she didn‘t want to cause me any trouble. This is unexpected.
The invigilator turned to Jenny and asked in a cautious manner, “I saw you chatting with her when you
went in to assist with the equipment. Is she someone Mr. Faulkner had poached from a big company
overseas?”
“I don‘t know.” Jenny shook her head before continuing in a low voice, “But I do know that she is Mr.
Sullivan‘s sister–in–law.”
When the other two invigilators heard that, they instantly understood the entire picture.
“Since you know that, why didn‘t you go easy on her? We‘ll be able to form closer ties with Mr. Sullivan in
the future!”
“I wanted to but didn‘t get the chance to. She‘s too impressive...” Jenny replied in exasperation.
The invigilator burst out laughing. “That‘s true! I heard that Mr. Ziegler would be transferring to the Epea
office soon. Once he leaves, the manager position will be yours. And you even have Mr. Sullivan‘s
amazing sister–in–law to help you out. You sure are lucky, Jen!”
Jenny rolled her eyes at him. “Nothing‘s set in stone yet, so don‘t spout nonsense! I don‘t want people to
think I have my eye on his position.”
Despite saying that, the corners of her lips lifted into a delighted smirk, betraying her true feelings
