Sparky Fate

11°The interview

Lance POV

Finally the most tiresome event has arrived. I sure hope there aren't a lot of contestants because I don't know if I can handle it.

But to my aid, three of my dad's trustees who are also in the board are here with me.
Since the arriving time for interview is at 9am, we expect all the contestants to arrive for duration of half an hour so at 9:30am, we'll close the doors and start off the interview.

We've decided to put three lots.
One at the beginning mid-morning, second in the afternoon around two and third lot at around four in the evening. I sure hope it won't reach that far to the third lot.

Can't help it but there's a certain thrill that it might reach that point since it's Snorve Company we talking about. Country's best stock exchange company.

The first lot are positioned to their early arrival. I took a glance at my watch.
9:25am.

"Sir, everything is all set. There are a hundred applicants."
Hailey, our company's loyal secretary informs me.

Are you kidding me?! Like 1,2,3,4....100 people waiting behind that door to be interrogated on their abilities and only one will get the post? Damn! I really will need lots of coffee.

"Just instruct them of the order they'll take and the specific duration they'll be given to present themselves out. One more thing, Thank you."
I softly mumbled. I like her hard work and passion she has on her job. Good to appreciate your employees at times.

"Right away. Thank you too sir." She solemnly utter back while wearing those blushful burning cheeks.
I know, they all love my flirts.

I turned my attention to the rest of my help group.
"Gentlemen, shall we?"
They nod and we all settled down ready to find our company's help.

We decided to use this building for the interview since it has spacious rooms and a big main room which is where we will be managing the interview session. It's part of the company's property.

"We are all set. Allow the first applicant in Hailey." I instructed her and she nodded.

Ooh sweet Jesus, give me the strength to withstand all the personalities that will walk into this room.

"Welcome in. Please take a seat. Just introduce yourself, present your work and we'll take it from there."
Mr Harsp who is seated to my right instructs the lady who came in first.

From my estimations, she's in her early twenties. She looks like she's a very talkative person from the way she twitches her lips and nervously settles down.
Yeah interviews do bring tense chills.
Never been in one before but I sure know the feeling just from the look on the applicant's facial expressions.

"Thank you. Well am Bret and here are my documents. I have..."
Yeah from her start off introduction says a lot.
Bret? One name?
She's definitely a joker.
She's too overconfident about getting this job.
A go-getter huh!
She already has a big NO from me.

We have just started off and am as already starting to become bored.

Another one, prissy as hell. I just asked her a simple question: why do you think we should employ you?
she starts explaining what she will do if she gets the job.

Campaigning?!

Done with fifty.
Well that was a perfect timing on the first lot.
A five minute brief personal introduction from the participants and another five minute of severe questioning from us was a very good idea.

Am not fully satisfied.
Yes few of them are very qualified but still haven't got the complete satisfaction.
We need someone prominent enough to bring success to the company. Even if it's a temporary post, that doesn't mean that we need jokers.

It's late noon. We have paused the session for a one hour lunch.
My head is really aching right now.
I need my paracetamol tablets.

I excused myself to the rest room.
It's a special washroom separate from the employees.
I washed my face. Opened the drawer that is next to the mirror and gulped down the pills. I stared at my image and left while groaning.

I joined the rest at the room where we've been served with everyone's delicacy.

Am so famished.

"That man was crazy."
Mr Bob chuckles as he takes a bite of his steak.

I just sheepishly smile.
Totally agree.
He was so scary crazy.

We have a light chat as we finish off our meals. Well it's not only just me, they also haven't been fully convinced on any of the participants presented so far.
Let's hope, we'll find someone suitable on the last lot.

We are now back.
From Hailey's calculations, twenty people whom we haven't interviewed yet have quitted and left. Ten had left for lunch and haven't arrived back.

Whoa! Isn't that a relief?

The number is now lesser.
Am one guy who really is serious with time management so if they were instructed the break was for one hour and haven't returned back yet, it's to their own fault.

For some reasons I honestly don't get it, you come all the way from where they all came and leave? Because of being discouraged by the rest or tired or what!

That doesn't matter now. Got twenty more.

Am now broadly smiling and more optimistic.

The first five aren't bad at all but they don't have full requirements imposed on the post.

The next participant caught my eyes. Despite seeing several of them through the day, this one got something on me.  Am a hard guy to impress but surely for me this one was irresistible for she was eye catching and mesmerizing.

Without even a clear glimpse of her as she entered the room, i could see her waist is what any guy would go through hell and back to get her. I mean her figure was well curved it for one to take your eyes off her. This one caught my full attention like a new movie in a three dimension reality. I had to pinch myself to see if it was a side effect of the paracetamol drugs i had taken a while ago.

As she moved closer to where we were seated, it now as clear as day that i had been attracted beyond explanation by this particular one despite seeing many of them. She had a skin tone that made me mistake her for a model i had seen advertising skin products but this one was more of a reality. Her well rounded face perfectly fitted the facial features as if it was a piece of fictional art work. Hard to believe it!

I had seen no such beauty in ages even though i am not that old. Her eyes were glittering with a greenish-brown colour. The lips were deliciously painted pink making me want to have a piece of them through hook or crook. All this may seem like a hyperbole but sincerely she made me see all this this like a dream.

She stretched out her hand courageously greeted all of us. Immediately our hands touched, I felt a familiar feeling.

As she settled down as instructed by Mr Harsp, I took the chance to look at her keenly.

Is that her?
Ooh hollies, I can't mistake that soft touch and the sparkling appealing hazel eyes.
It's definitely her.
She's the lady who once rejected my drink offer at the bar, one whom I danced with last weekend and one who swept me off my feet when we kissed.

Wow! Finally I've found the mysterious female who has been perplexing me for a while now.

Without being able to withhold my happiness, I settled myself comfortably in my seat and wore my ignited serious facial look. Ready to take this interview session in my hands, I cleared my throat.
