When The Phone Rings / The Call You Just Made Is

Chapter 30 Job Interview

"Please prepare for interview numbers 4, 5, and 6."

Hee-joo awkwardly touched the number tag pinned on her shirt and stood up. A wide courtyard and majestic blue tiles.

She didn't know how she got here. Today was the interview day at the Blue House.

Although she slept well last night, and was in good condition and relaxed mood, she sighed deeply as if she had a cold when she thought of the call last night.

Maybe it was because she drank the wine she usually didn't drink.

The man's "comfort" kept echoing in her mind. It was the same this morning...

Will she meet him here?

The force that tightly grasped her ankle and didn't let go for a long time. The hot and dry touch still remained on her skin. Hee-joo shook her head hard.

'Concentrate, concentrate!'

Don't think about anything for the time being.

Especially today, she must perform well.

Hee-joo swallowed in the serious atmosphere and slowly moved her hands.

'I really want it.'

Experience of sign language interpretation at the Blue House.

As long as you have this experience, whether you go to the center of a small city or enter the field of international sign language, it will be a strong resume.

When she was called to the interview room, Hee-joo was shocked.

"......!"

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Why...?!

Her eyes went dark.

"You are now sitting in the interviewer's seat!"

Hee-joo hurriedly avoided the man's sharp eyes.

Her heartbeat was already fast, and now it was even more intense.

"The final interview is for the actual sign language interpretation drill. Therefore, we invited spokesman Baek Sa-eon."

One of the people sitting in the interviewer's seat spoke up.
"The Blue House needs real-time interpretation, especially reaction speed and sign language speed are very important. So, we have to select someone who can instantly interpret the spokesperson's speech."

Although Hee-joo is not the kind of person who can't distinguish between public and private, she always feels that Baek Sa-eon's eyes are always on her.

She tried to avoid his eyes, but the man's eyes became colder.

"Well, let's start by playing a video of a previous briefing. Please take turns to come forward and interpret. The association members here will judge."

When the monitor turned on, a blue podium immediately appeared. 

"Interview number 4, Hong Hee-joo, translator, please start." 

Hee-joo took a deep breath and stood in front of the monitor.

At this time, the spokesperson Baek Sa-eon in the video also appeared.

Just by the man's tie, suit material, hairstyle and expression, she could immediately recognize which briefing it was from which year.

Speech at the 8th Local Autonomy Day Commemoration Ceremony.

As soon as Baek Sa-eon's voice sounded in the video, Hee-joo's hands moved.

"Dear citizens, Gyeongbuk residents, Gyeongju citizens, local government heads and local councilors..."
