Chapter 500
Yolanda glanced over at the group around Winnie. There were four or five men and women. The women there
were dressed fashionably.
Her attention immediately went to the slightly overweight man beside Winnie. He wore a suit, and his hair was
heavily gelled. When he heard Winnie's call, he turned to look at Yolanda too. But his sleazy smile froze at
Yolanda's appearance, his eyes filled with disgust.
"What's this? | thought your cousin would be a beauty too!" The overweight man pursed his lips in
disappointment as he lifted his glass to Winnie again. "Con, let's keep drinking!"
"Hold on, Mr. Edward!" Winnie pushed away his glass with a frown before squeezing out from the couch.

She gestured to the haughty-looking women on the couch as she spoke. "They're all my college friends, and
they're now working in Cinnamine Pharmaceuticals’ marketing team.
"This is Stella Stone, that's Jessica Palmer, and she's Kelly Grant. And this is my cousin Yolanda!"
"Winnie, how do you have such a plain-looking cousin?" The curly-haired woman named Stella Stone at the end
of the couch made no effort to hide her disdain. "You're just embarrassing us by bringing her here!"
"Yeah, this isn't shangout for country bumpkins!"
"Winnie, we invited Mr. Edward here for your sake. Why would you bring this eyesore to ruin everything?"
Yolanda's eyes turned cold when she heard their snarky remarks. She grabbed Winnie's arm and said, "I'm taking
you home."
"Yolanda, that's Edward Bingham, the facilities manager at Cinnamie. | chere to meet him!" Winnie had
wanted to leave earlier but did not want to offend Edward, that was why she had endured till now.
"I know they're being awful, but let's not stoop to their level." After comforting Yolanda, she turned to Stella and
the others and said, "Though you're all my friends, please don't criticize my cousin to my face!"
"Woah, you're even defending her now?" Stella sneered. "We're just doing you a favor. You could get into
Cinnamine without an interview if Mr. Edward allows it. But if your ugly cousin ruins his mood and gets your
restossed, don't ccrying to us.
"Right, Mr. Edward?"
Stella giggled as she held a drink to Edward's lips.
"Hehe, Stella knows how things work!" Edward patted her shoulder with his pudgy hand before downing the
drink. "Winnie, you should learn from your friends here. You need better instincts in the working world!"
"You..." Winnie bit her lip. If getting into Cinnamine meant drinking and entertaining Edward, she would rather
not join the company.
"So you're the facilities manager at Cinnamine?" Yolanda gave him a look.
Cinnamine Pharmaceuticals had strict hiring policies. While a facilities manager might have a say over his own
department's hiring, he would not be able to influence other departments’ hiring.
Besides, Winnie was not looking to work in facilities. For all their grandiose claims, Edward had no real influence
over Winnie's interview or employment.
"What about it?"
