I had no reason to turn them down. After all, the positions were right with my line of expertise and having a recommendation would not hurt.
I met with several HR department managers in a row and their offer was all similar.
Today, I went to my last interview at the Simmons Corporation, where I met Zeke Jeremy.
I did not expect to see him there. However, the HR manager was more surprised than I was when he realized the person who was blocking the door. "President Jeremy, what brings you here?"
Zeke nodded toward me and smiled at the HR manager. "I'm sorry. I'm here to poach a talented individual from under Mr. Simmons's nose."
Just like Mark, Zeke was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. The difference was, he actually had some real ability.
Back then, when Mark and I were still working at the Hanson Corporation, we often competed with Zeke for projects.
So, why would he go out of his way to show up here?
When he saw the confusion on my face, Zeke tilted his head and his dimple appeared as he grinned. "If you are really leaving the Hanson Corporation, why don't you work with me? After all, we are old rivals."
I never expected his offer.
