Mr. Sterling, Mrs. Sterling is Multifaceted!-Chapter 217: Entering the Law Council

Later, under the guidance of the staff, Seraphina Redgrave went to the rest room.

In the rest room, everyone who had just taken the exam was there, sitting together and chatting away.

They were talking about politics in D Country, the war in A Country, and the oil situation in W Nation, all in a very relaxed manner.

Their faces left an impression in Seraphina Redgrave’s mind, and she carefully searched through the news she had seen before, gradually matching their names and faces.

A few were from the elite families at the top of the food chain, and some were closely associated with various major financial groups.

No matter what, their identities were not simple.

The position they were recruiting for today wasn’t that important, but she didn’t expect the people who came to be so distinguished.

No wonder Ethan Sterling scoffed at her idea of joining The Law Council; the interest here was intertwined, with few positions available for a small commoner like her.

But.

No matter the mutual interests, she could always carve out a niche here to achieve her goals.

Seraphina Redgrave sat down and suddenly felt someone sit next to her: it was Selena Quinn.

"Sylvia, we’re both too young; once inside, we can only do the most ordinary jobs, like printing documents."

Her tone was gentle.

Seraphina had no intention of playing along with her, so she simply ignored her.

After a while, some staff came over to distribute work forms to them.

The Law Council has The Left Chamber and The Right Chamber, with a total of one hundred positions. Among them, the highest positions are the Left Speaker and the Right Speaker, handling different issues, but for major decisions, they need to be approved by both sides.

Their work forms indicated which politician they would work for, but the work content was all just simple clerical work.

Seraphina Redgrave didn’t mind; getting into The Law Council was enough—everything else could be taken step by step.

She glanced at the work form and checked off technology, entertainment, and law.

Then she wrote down her reasons so that the staff could allocate tasks based on them.

Selena Quinn, sitting beside Seraphina, sneaked a peek at Seraphina’s form and checked off the exact same three options.

After writing her reasons, Selena stood up and handed her form to the staff.

With a gentle voice and an expression of pitiful innocence, she said, "Hello, I have a request. I hope I could be placed in the same department as Miss Sylvia."

Selena skillfully used her alluring appearance, captivating the male staff member, who was left tongue-tied.

Snapping back to his senses, realizing his earlier recklessness, he awkwardly smiled and then asked, "Is there a special reason for your request?"

Selena cast a troubled glance at the staff member, bit her lip, and expressed with pitiful charm, "I’m not in good health, and Sylvia is my best friend. She always takes care of me. Without her, I might not manage well, so I hope we can be assigned together. But if it’s too difficult, then never mind."

Tears seemed about to fall from Selena’s eyes.

The staff looked at Seraphina again; another dazzling beauty, he couldn’t find the words to refuse. "Do you have any opinion on this?" he asked Seraphina.

Seraphina gave a cold smile at the girl adept at pretending, saying nothing.

"She’s just a bit cold-natured," Selena immediately explained.

"Oh, okay." The staff had no doubts. "I’ll mention it to the superiors, but I can’t guarantee you’ll be placed together."

"Alright, thank you, kind sir." Selena seemed to have heard the best news, her cheeks flushed rosy with happiness.

The staff, gratified by the thanks of a beauty, walked with a spring in his step.

"You’re welcome." After that, the staff gathered the forms and left.

Everyone present didn’t need to stay longer; they just had to wait for notification later.

Seraphina Redgrave grabbed her coat and headed for the exit, with Selena Quinn immediately following beside her, softly saying, "Sylvia, I’m so lucky to be able to work with you."

"I hope we can be assigned together and then reconcile and become good friends again!"

"Again?" Seraphina raised an eyebrow, finding her words amusing.

"Were we ever friends? You’re really clingy; your face must be made of glue." Her words were merciless.

"..."

Seraphina’s smile froze on her face, unsure how to respond.

As they exited the building, Selena’s bodyguard immediately opened a sunshade for her.

The angle of the shade was intriguing; though there was extra space to cover Seraphina, whether on purpose or not, it only sheltered Selena.

This stark contrast between light and dark was striking.

Just as they were about to step into the shadows, Selena’s slightly frustrated voice emerged by Seraphina’s ear, "I almost forgot, the sun’s so harsh; shade Miss Sylvia as well!"

Such superfluous concern was unnecessary, especially when devoid of genuine intent.

Seraphina sneered coldly and walked forward indifferently.

The bodyguard, having been told, came over to shade Seraphina.

Suddenly, a shriek erupted from the bodyguard, and Seraphina turned around in surprise, only to see a sharply defined face beneath a refined sunshade.

It was Ethan Sterling.

His gaze fell gently on Seraphina’s face, full of tenderness.

Yet his voice was as cold as ice, "Does my woman need your shading?"

Ethan Sterling walked to Seraphina’s side, the quality of the umbrella perfectly shading Seraphina in its shadow, making her feel much more comfortable.

He looked at the bodyguard as if he were looking at a dead man, "Aren’t you going to get lost?"

"Y-yes, Young Master Sterling, I’ll leave right away." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

The bodyguard, as if a ghost were chasing him from behind, ran far without even picking up the fallen umbrella.

Watching her incompetent bodyguard, Selena Quinn furrowed her brows tightly, her pale face like a sheet of white paper under the glaring sun.

She forced a smile uglier than a cry, "Big brother, why are you here?"

Only then did Ethan Sterling look at her and coldly say, "And why are you here?"

His voice was deep and magnetic, like a heavenly melody, each syllable tugging at Selena Quinn’s heartstrings.

She adjusted her emotions and continued, "Big brother, I’m a law student too, and I wanted to find an internship opportunity before graduation. I just happened to run into Sylvia."

Standing next to Ethan Sterling, Seraphina quietly watched Selena Quinn’s lively performance.

Like she suddenly remembered something, Selena smiled happily, "Big brother, Sylvia is genuinely kind. Seeing that I’m not in good shape, she proactively suggested we be placed together to take care of me."

While speaking, Selena cast Seraphina a friendly glance, somewhat timid, as if afraid of her, like she had been bullied before.

She believed Seraphina wouldn’t contradict her because it was essentially a compliment.

Indeed, Seraphina didn’t refute it, not because she felt it was a compliment, but because she wanted to create an opportunity for the two of them.
