The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 573

Hailey headed for Alex in her heels. Never did she expect that Hannah would stop her in her tracks. In fact, Hailey did not know the reception manager at all since she had just taken over City salon. With a slight frown on her face, she immediately asked, “What do you need from me?” Actually, Hannah had been waiting to meet Hailey. That was because after the change of ownership at City Salon, Jackie Luden, who was initially in charge of the salon, left. On the other hand, Hailey was the owner of Belle Blossom, she was too occupied to take charge of both establishments. Apparently, she wanted to hire a capable general manager to manage City Salon. For Hannah, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So, she had to take initiative and offer herself for the position. At this moment, after seeing Hailey taking initiative to ask her, Hannah quickly said, “Well, I heard that City Salon is looking for a general manager to manage its daily operations. I feel that I have the confidence and the capability to take on the position of general manager, leading the growth of City Salon as the best beauty salon in California.” Hailey was surprised by the sudden interruption. Her expression hardened. Such a presumptuous woman, who was she? If City Salon became the best in California, what about her Belle Blossom? “Who are you?” Hailey asked. “…” Hannah’s expression froze, as if she had received a critical hit of 30,000 damage. She replied in a slightly emotional manner, “I, Hannah Nancy, am the reception manager of City Salon. I was once Jackie Lundel’s most capable assistant. I believe I absolutely have the capability to succeed in the role of general manager!” “I see, you can leave now.” “Does that mean you agree to it, Miss Lawson?” Hailey felt a bit annoyed, she raised her eyebrows and said, “When did I agree to it? Miss Nancy, right? The general manager is decided after the discussion among the board of directors. It is not established by mere talk, do you understand?” Hannah could feel the irritation in Hailey’s voice. However, things had been going smoothly for her lately. Ever since her college life, she had been successful in every endeavor and became a princess like presence with her pretty looks and willingness to get off her high horse, to even please men. Everywhere she went, she was the star of the show. Even Jackie treated her like a treasure and saw her as his woman. Therefore, she could do as she pleased in the salon. Hailey’s reply was brushed off as Hannah persisted. “Why do we still need the board of directors to decide on such matters, Miss Lawson? I am currently the highest ranked employee in City Salon, I can lead and give the orders at once. Based on our current situation, I promise that we can increase the salon’s profit by ten percent in a year.” Genuinely infuriated by Hannah’s statement, Hailey retorted, “Are you done? What even is ten percent?! With the addition of Lush Cosmetics’s products, we were able to increase our sales by ten times these past few days. Our annual plan is to increase our profit gained by a thousand percent, or even ten thousand percent! You actually promised a ten percent increase in profit? It just showed your mediocrity and incapability. Get out of my way.” Her response put Hannah in an awkward position. Her face was as pale as a sheet as she instinctively took a few steps back. Hailey grunted before approaching Alex. Hannah was suddenly surprised. She realized that Hailey was in a crummy mood. If her intention to hire Alex as a security guard without her permission were to be discovered, it would definitely tarnish her image, putting the position of the general manager further away from her reach. Hannah rushed forward and said hurriedly, “This man right here came to apply for the position of security guard, Miss Lawson. I was just about to kick him out after realizing that he is unsuited for the job.” Surprised, Hailey said, “He came here to apply for the position of security guard? And, you even want to boot him out?” “Exactly! Our City Salon is an upscale establishment. Of course, we can’t allow unworthy personnel to come in!” Hannah then said to Alex, “Why don’t you leave now, your application is rejected.” Alex was on the verge of laughing as he said, “Didn’t you just say that you can let me stay here? You also promised to help me apply for decent benefits, and said that I could always carry your shoes once I become a security guard here.” “When did I say it? Stop spewing nonsense, you are not worthy of carrying my shoes! Don’t forget that your father is a corrupted criminal and a traitor! We will never take in the son of a traitor, begone!” Alex’s expression turned stone-cold instantly. Smack! Hailey immediately smacked Hannah on the face. Puzzled by Hailey’s outburst, Hannah shouted, “Why did you hit me, Miss Lawson?” Hailey responded angrily, “Because you were arrogant, rude, and insulted your boss!” “But I did not insult you!”
