For a moment, Ethan simply stood there.
Jobless.Rejected.Humiliated.He started walking down the busy street.His thoughts heavy.Then something caught his attention.Across the road, a large banner hung outside a modern glass building.LANDER CORPORATION
Below the logo was a sign.
URGENT HIRING: PRIVATE SECURITY GUARD FOR THE HEIRESS SOPHIA LANDER
A small crowd of applicants stood outside.
Whispers floated through the air.“I heard the pay is huge.”“Yeah but nobody lasts long.”“That heiress is crazy strict.”“Security guards quit after one week.”Ethan stared at the sign quietly.He had no security experience.No qualifications.
Nothing.But something inside him said—Try.
He walked closer.Then wrote his name on the application list.At that exact moment…High above the building…Inside a luxurious office on the 30th floor…A woman stood by the large glass window.
Her name was Sophia Lander.The heiress of one of the wealthiest families in Manila.Beautiful.Cold.
Untouchable.She glanced down toward the entrance.Then suddenly her eyes narrowed.
Below…She saw a man being shoved by another applicant.The man stumbled slightly.But he didn’t fight back.He didn’t argue.He simply stood up and brushed the dust from his clothes.Calm.
Emotionless.Unbothered.Sophia watched carefully.
Most people would react.Most people would get angry.But not him.Her lips curved slightly.
“Interesting…”Behind her stood her assistant.
Ruth Garcia.Sophia spoke calmly.“Ruth.”“Yes, Miss Lander?”Sophia’s eyes remained fixed on the quiet man below.“Hire him.”Ruth blinked.“But Miss Lander… he hasn’t even been interviewed.”
Sophia smirked slightly.“I know.”She crossed her arms.“Tell him he’s hired.”Downstairs…Ethan Cruz had no idea…That his life…Was about to change forever.
