NovelEnglishHe then sent her a text message. [Do not hire guys.]
[777] Avery replied.
[I will hire a man, and you will hire a woman. Alright?]
[... You really are petty, aren't you?]
[I'll be upset if you say that.]
[You can't be so sexist in your workplace! Anyone who qualifies should get the job, no matter their gender! Can we not be so
stubborn?]
[So you are okay withhiring a female assistant?]
Without hesitation, Avery replied. [Of course! What's there to worry about? You have plenty of pretty secretaries in your office.
When have | ever said a word about them? Not only are your secretaries pretty, but so are most of your female employees. | can't
help but suspect that your company is hiring them for their looks.]
[I don't know. I've never placed such a request with human resource. | will go ask them about it.]

capable people who have good looks because countless people fight for a chance to get in.]
[Maybe! Apart from the people | directly work with, | don't involve myself in the hiring process. | don't think there are that many
beautiful women here either.]
Avery simply responded with a smirking emoji.
[If you don't mind if | hire a female assistant, are you okay withgoing on business trips with her as well? Back when Chad was
working for me, we went on business trips and gatherings together all the time. You know that.]
[..]
[What's wrong? Just say what's on your mind. We are married so we should be honest with one another.]
[You should get a male assistant, then!]
[What about you?]
Avery stared at the smiling emoji following his message and felt as though she could picture his fake smile before her eyes.
She opened her thermal flash and took a sip of warm water, before typing her reply. [I will try my best to hire a woman. If you see
anyone nice, refer them to me!]
[Okay.]
After talking to Elliot, Avery edited the hiring notice, changing the part that stated "prioritizing male applicant’ to "prioritizing
female applicant’, before sending it to the Human Resources department.
The staff immediately replied. [Noted, President Tate. | will post this to all recruitment sites. Do you accept internal transfers for
existing employees? | believe there are plenty of employees here who want to be your assistant.]
[Let's focus on hiring a new employee for now. Let's see if we can find a good fit.]
[Understood, President Tate.]
Shortly after, the Human Resources department sent her another message. [President Tate, | heard that Mr. Foster is hiring as well.
Is that true?]
[Yeah! How do you know?]
[I heard from the human resource staff over there. We have all gone to gatherings before so | know their contacts.]
[I see. Chad has been transferred to Bridgedale so Elliot needs a new assistant. If you know someone good for the job, you can

[I see. If there's someone with potential, I'm naturally going to refer them to you first. If you don't like them, | don't think | should
refer them to Mr. Foster.]
[I'm hiring a woman, and he is hiring a guy.]
After a short pause, the Human Resource staff replied. [I see, | see. | get it! Haha!]
Avery flushed awkwardly.
She had never been a jealous woman, but she really did not want Elliot to go on business trips with another woman.
