Chapter 43
Roy’s attention was drawn to Ben’s long legs.
Roy’s heart throbbed as she focused on Ben.
Roy dreamed. “Young and promising as the CEO of the Storm Group is, he is rather low–key and mysterious.
What exactly does he look like? Is he stunningly handsome?”
She looked up with an expectant look, only to find Ben’s scary face.
Disappointed at Ben’s appearance, Roy couldn’t help but scream in shock.
She thought to herself, “This monster is the CEO of the Storm Group:
What a horrible man he looks like!”
Hearing Roy’s screaming, the public frowned and looked at her.
Realizing that she had been frivolous, she got embarrassed instantly.
But she got better when she found Susan looking down at the floor.
She grabbed Susan and said to Ben, “Ben, you come for the post, right? This is
Susan.”
Ben wrinkled his brows and replied indifferently, “Oh?”
It was hard to tell Ben’s mood from his voice.
Unsure about Ben’s mood, Susan bowed her head nervously.
‘Susan, I advise you to come clean to Ben since he has already known it. There was no use for you to keep silent. Ben might go easy on you if you are honest enough. Am I right?” Roy made her suggestions to Susan before she turned to Ben. “Sir, Susan is wrong this time, but she is good– natured. Please be lenient to her for my
sake.”
Roy was quite satisfied with her words.
But others were disdainful of her, darting a contemptuous look at her.
After a while, Ben cast an icy look at Luke and asked indifferently. “Who is this?” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“New employee, Roy Kelin.” Luke put on a wry smile.
“New employee? I thought she became the director instead.” Ben mocked, stone- faced.
Ben thought, “Who was she and why she dared to say ‘for my sake?
I didn’t think she was somebody.”
Roy was pale at Ben’s scorn and gritted her teeth, speaking no more words.
“Ben, you’ve come just at the right moment.” Luke took a deep breath, “I intended to explain for the post. I’ve decided to post the interview grades of the three new employees.
“Post their grades?”
Ben frowned and glanced at Susan subconsciously.
He got no idea about Susan’s performance during the interview.
“Their marks could be seen on the Staff BBS.” Luke said slowly, “Now, Ben, I’d like to report their grades since we are all here.”
Ben raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
Susan was not bad since Luke wanted to announce their grades.
Ben was somewhat curious now.
He wondered what kind of grades Susan would get.
“OK, Jaron.” Luke said flatly. “Eighty.”
Jaron’s eyes widened. He got panicked in retrospect.
He knew eighty was the threshold score of the Storm Group.
He couldn’t be admitted to the company if he got one single point lower than it.
“Then, Roy Kelin,” Luke started as he glanced at Roy.
Roy was kind of excited while waiting for her score.
She thought to herself that she got at least eighty points since she had been

admitted.
No worse than Jaron.
Luke said slowly as Roy saw herself high, “Sixty.”
Roy was suspicious about her marks, “Sixty?”
“That’s impossible!” Roy screamed.
Luke ignored her and continued, “Susan Miller.”
At this point, Luke paused.
Roy immediately suppressed her panic, expecting a lower score given to Susan.
“Full marks.” Luke enunciated each word carefully.
Roy seriously doubted it inside.
Other programmers had long known the truth and they were pretty calm.
But Jaron and Roy were in great shock.
Jaron still had his control over his face.
Roy just freaked out and she stood up abruptly, her voice shrill and harsh, “Impossible! That was impossible. I don’t think she was that good. Luke, please be honest with her mark. Though you would like to defend her, stop the lies.”
“All the interviews have been recorded,” said Luke impassively. “You could watch the video if you are not convinced.”
“Then show me! I’m not convinced.” Roy said without hesitation.
“Ben?” Luke looked at Ben, wondering his reaction.
Ben noted that Susan still remained quiet while Roy had already lost her control. He agreed, “As she wishes.”
“Alright.” Luke answered tersely and instantly arranged the video.
Actually, panic registered Roy’s face when she saw Luke was composed as usual, but she tried hard to comfort herself.
She said to herself inside, “Susan couldn’t get a full mark. Luke must have hed
Yes, Luke lied about Susan’s mark”
Luke soon got the video after a few minutes.
Ben asked to project the video on the super big screen.
The recorded interview videos of Susan, Jaron and Roy were being played at the same time, each of them occupying one part of the screen,
Roy’s eyes were riveted by Susan’s interview.
The video was so clear that Susan’s typing fingers were seen clearly.
The video soon showed the scene of the first question.
And Roy was impressed by the question.
It was no easy task and she spent half an hour to find out the faulty code. As for how to make amendments, she didn’t have a clue about it.
She couldn’t figure it out.
She believed Susan couldn’t either.
On the screen, Jaron and Roy cudgeled their brains.
Yet it took Susan merely one minute to find out the problem.
Roy was speechless.
She continued to comfort herself, “Susan was just lucky!”
After Susan found out the faulty code, she immediately wrote down the code to fix the bug.
It didn’t take her long and the code was perfect after being fixed.
Roy looked awful.
She wondered if Susan was really that excellent.
Ben had fixed his eyes on Susan in silence, his feelings mixed.
He had searched Susan’s background before and knew she was once a programmer

People were always praising Timothy and recognized his ability in computer and
business.
But no one ever mentioned Susan’s ability.
So he thought Susan didn’t do good.
But it was the reverse.
Susan showed her talent in it and hard work.
Then why would she keep a low profile all these years?
Ben couldn’t help but glance at Susan.
She still bowed her head and didn’t look at him.
Ben failed to restrain his laughter.
He thought with a smile, “Susan, any more surprises for me?
I will wait and sec.”
