Is this what the whole outfit was for?
“Yeah…” Edward replied like it was nothing.
“Really?! Like…really?!” I exclaimed excitedly. I’m really on my way to my first ever formal job interview?
“Yeah, really. So can you please get your act together,” Edward said with a hint of annoyance in his voice, but I knew how kind Edward really is.
“Oh wait! I am so not prepared for this. What should I do?” I said in a panic.
“There’s not much that you can do. Your interview is in around 3 hours. From now till then you will do everything as I say, and I will drill in as much knowledge into your head as possible. Clear?” Edward stated with his eyes still on the road.
“Yes, Sir!” I replied energetically.
“Just to be clear here, I don’t believe in nepotism. I got you the interview based on your past achievements and portfolio, and I have no control over the interviewer or the results. Do you understand what that means?” Edward explained slowly and clearly.
“Umm…that I have to pass the interview on my own?” I said.
“Correct. The best I can do for you is all there in that pile of paper. Good luck,” Edward said as he gestured to the pile of paper on my lap with one hand.
“Thank you so much, Edward! This is all I ever wanted…” I thanked him passionately and for some reason I felt like crying for joy. I hugged the think pile of paper to my chest.
S&J Laboratories is one of the major research and development laboratories that support leading global cosmetic brands. In addition to being known for being the most innovative in their R&D, the company also has manufacturing facilities of its own. This is such a great opportunity.
I wasn’t lying when I said that this was all I ever wanted for the start of my career. Being a Rosenhall, it was extremely difficult to have a ‘normal’ career. The Rosenhall name is famous which means that most, if not all, companies wouldn’t want to interview or hire a Rosenhall due to fear of what complications may come with it. The Rosenhalls are filthy rich and seeing them work for another company besides their own is unheard of, especially at entry positions that I was targeting.
Not surprisingly, having the Rosenhall name as my lastname on my resume backfired pretty hard. Even if I was invited to interviews or given a job, the company in question would probably be doing it in order to gain some favor from the family or from Lucien. Therefore, this opportunity that Edward had found for me was like a dream come true.
Now, I just need to do well on the interview and get the job. Easier said than done.
“We’re here,” Edward announced as he parked the car in the parking lot of what seemed to be a mid-sized business hotel.
Nothing fancy here and this clearly wasn’t a luxurious date spot. This was a plain business hotel, as plain as they came. I blinked rapidly a few times before grabbing the large paper bag and got out of the car.
Edward was by my side in an instant and helped take the large paper bag from me before closing the passenger door. He held my hand firmly in his as we entered the hotel lobby.
…
“Get changed, quickly,” Edward ordered as he handed me the paper bag.
