Chapter Ninety-Two

Thankfully, the interview isn't being taped, so I don't care about my appearance too much, or at least it isn't going to be my biggest worry.

I am scared the questions are going to be too personal or too complicated to answer quickly.
But it calms me knowing that Dan is just a hundred meters away from me and Fleur is in the same room as me.

***

Dan and I arrive at the building of the magazine company at around 12:48 pm, perfectly on time.

"You'll be okay, love.", he says before kissing me and opening the door for me, acting like the gentleman he is.

"Thank you.", I say and hug him before walking into the building.

Right in the foyer is a lady about my age, wearing a fancy dress and sitting at a desk.

"Hello. I am here for an interview at 1 pm.", I shyly say.

"Ah, yes. Welcome Y/N! Your manager is waiting for you in room 424, which is on the second floor!"

"Alright, thank you!", I smile at the woman and head up to the second floor and into the the room she told me my manager is in.

Right when I knock the door and opens and she greets me with a big hug: "Y/N! How are you feeling? The interviewer will come in in about 5 minutes, just get comfortable."

I thank her as well and take off my bulky jacket before texting Dan, who wanted me to do so.

Y/N: I am here and it'll start in about 5 minutes, text you after, I love you.

A knock on the door.

"Yes?", Fleur asks, inviting the person in.

In come two people, a man and a woman, one with a piece of paper the other one with a recorder.

"Hello. We are Celia and Jonathan, nice to meet you!", the man says and holds out his hand.

After everyone introduces themselves, the interview begins.

"So, to start of we always like to ask some random questions to get things going. You ready?", Celia asks.

"Yes, absolutely. Let's go."

"Alright, so the first one is: What is your favorite thing to do around Christmas time?"

"Probably spend time with my loved one's which I don't get to see a lot!", I say, trying to make myself seem at least a little social.

"Ah, right. Now, what colour are your bedsheets?", she laughs.

"Well, they're black and grey actually!"

"And for the last question: What is your favorite accessory?"

I quickly think about that one, glad my shirt covers up the necklace Dan gave and my ring can't be seen either.

"Uh, I don't really accessorize on casual days, but when I do I try to keep it quite simple and modern."

"Great! Now let's go onto the questions people on Twitter wanted to know. The first one is: How do you know Zoe and how was working with her?"

"Eh, well. Um- Zoe and I met because, um- we went to the same event once and just got along and became friends.", I lie, "and it was amazing to work with her because she's great at what she does and it's even more fun to work with your best friend!"

"That's cool! Now, how do you feel about releasing your own clothing line? And what does it stand for?"

"I am just so so happy to be able to fulfill the dream I had since I was two years old. I feel extremely lucky and blessed to have a big opportunity like that. And because it's so big I decided to go with something I want people to embrace and stand for: Positivity revolving around body image!"

"Amazing! Why exactly did you choose body positivity?"

"Well, still to this day there's horrible stuff like fat or skinny shaming. Something that just shouldn't exist. That's why my line has a big ray of sizes to fit everyone!"

"Really good! Now this question has been asked a lot: How did you feel about rumours/negativity online?"

Oh no.

"Well, um- I think it's something that has to be worked on. Especially because it is online. People can only judge a book by its cover and not know the full story or the person behind the username."

"Alright. Now since you're a web person, do you feel you give out a lot about yourself?"

"Hm, no I don't think so. The people read my blog for the content and the art, which reflects me well enough for them to like me, I guess. I don't share a lot with people online."

"Is there something you would never share with the online world?"

"Yes definitely! I guess I wouldn't take about other people's buissnes since it's none of mine. And I wouldn't talk about stuff everyone else wouldn't really talk about."

Celia looks down at her paper one more time before looking up at me again and asking me the question I dreaded most.
