A buzz told us that we could come in."Don't be scared, kay?" Jack said as he closed the door behind me and stayed outside.
I gulped and walked through the short hallways until I reached another set of doors. These black ones were slightly ajar.
I pushed the door open even more and knocked.
I saw a silhouette of a man in a chair. I couldn't see his face due to the lighting.
"-don't care what it takes, Spade," he said, "Make it happen."
I could feel the tension in the air and it didn't lessen when he ended the call. In fact, it grew.
"Jack says you were going to apply for a job," he said, "Yet I heard nothing for the application."
"I was going to bu-" I replied but he interrupted me.
"No need for your excuses. He told me what happened and I understand. But it is settled now. You'll start tomorrow morning at eight sharp. I will see you tomorrow."
He stood up and held out his hand.
I shook it and before he let go, he said, "Be on time. I hate people who are late and it will certainly give me a bad first impression about you."
I nodded faintly and turned around.
"How did it go?" Jack asked once I closed the door.
"I-I got the job."
He smiled, "That's great! I'll bring you home now. And please, don't be afraid of the big man. He's scary but he wouldn't hurt a girl in his life. He has grown up with that ground rule."
