Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby novel Chapter 45

Chapter 45: Recruitment Drive

By the time Eleanor finished interviewing all 37 candidates from the Blanc Clan, it was already noon. She leaned back in her chair, rubbing her temple gently, feeling the weight of the long morning press against her shoulders.

The candidates came from a wide range of professions... Accountants, Lawyers, Public Relations Officers, Data Engineers, Software Engineers, HR Officers, Project Managers, Content Writers, Receptionists, Cleaning and Maintenance Staff, Drivers, and Maids. A complete workforce walked through her doors, ready to serve.

Among them, sixteen women possessed shadow powers. Eleanor had expected as much. From her understanding, these women had originally trained with the Shadow Guard but hadn’t been able to complete the grueling process. Instead, they had chosen alternative careers to support themselves.

Without hesitation, she called Teresa to her office and handed her twenty-three CVs.

"These candidates have experience in various fields," Eleanor said, her voice firm. "Recruit them into appropriate departments immediately."

Then, she picked up the remaining CVs and held out one to Teresa. "This one here is a female driver. I’ve decided to assign her to you. Take one of the Range Rovers for yourself and appoint her as your personal driver. She’s trustworthy. In fact, all the applicants are reliable... they’ve served the Raynor family for generations. They won’t betray us."

Teresa blinked. "I can drive my own car. Besides, a Range Rover is a bit too flashy for my taste."

Eleanor’s gaze sharpened. "You don’t get a say in this. I’ll be traveling outside the Kingdom soon to establish our international businesses. Nigeria is already in progress. You’ll need to stay here and act in my stead."

She paused, then added, "My current driver is also a trained bodyguard. I intended the same for you, but after meeting this female driver, I changed my mind. She’s single and willing to live with you for convenience and security."

Teresa sighed. "Okay, okay. Whatever you say, Boss."

Eleanor leaned back and crossed her arms. "I didn’t mention this before, but there was an attack on me two days ago. As a result, I’ve decided to purchase all the villas surrounding mine. I want to relocate my bodyguards and household staff into those homes."

Her eyes flicked to Teresa. "You, Maya, and Lily should also move into nearby villas. There are four in total. Try to buy all the Villas as soon as possible. Offer a generous price so the current owners will be willing to relocate. Prioritize this. I want the area secured as soon as possible."

Teresa’s expression darkened. "Why didn’t you tell me earlier? You do remember how many times you were attacked back in the U.S., right? Who’s behind this one? The Chens? Or Sage?"

Eleanor gave a dry, humorless smile. "The Whitmore family... or at least, my investigation points to them."

She let that sink in for a moment before changing the subject.

"By the way, I’ll need to go to Russia soon to continue the investigation. The organization that sent the assassins uses a server located near Zelenograd. Look for a tech company there that produces the items we require. Schedule a meeting with them. I’ll bring a few of my trained guards along, but I need you to stay here and oversee everything else."

Teresa nodded. "Understood. I’ll handle it."

"Oh, and I almost forgot," Eleanor added. "I offered the Blanc family free recruitment. There might be more people from the family looking to work with us soon. Recruit them all. Assign guards, maids, and household staff to the villas. The others can join the company."

"I’ll inform the front desk," Teresa said.

"Perfect. I’m heading out now. I want to spend some time with Freya."

With that, Eleanor stood and walked out of her office, leaving Teresa to handle the new whirlwind of assignments.

***

When she reached home, Eleanor found the house quiet.

Freya was not there. She went out with Ethan.

A flicker of worry crossed her face before she pulled out her phone and dialed Ethan’s number. He picked up almost immediately.

"Where are you?" she asked.

"I’m at Legoland. Freya was bored at home, so I brought her here to play."

"Trafford Centre?"
