It’s a bit of a shame giving up on such a great opportunity, but nothing matters more than giving birth to my babies safely!
“Oh, about that… The company has decided that you are an incredibly talented individual and would be happy to arrange for an online interview instead. What do you think?”
Hmm? That’s very tempting and all, but… Why is a company like Tinsel Group going so far for a nobody like me?
Although I found it a little odd, I figured it should be safe and agreed to their suggestion.
The interview was scheduled to take place at nine in the morning tomorrow. I wasn’t expecting much from it, but I woke up really early anyway thanks to the kicking from my babies and was readily waiting in front of my computer thirty minutes prior to the interview.
The secretary started the video call right on time, and I answered it after giving my appearance a quick fix. However, my jaw dropped in shock when I saw the face of my interviewer.
Zander? Oh, my god… I didn’t think I’d see him again, so I didn’t even keep his business card! I can’t believe he ended up becoming my superior…
“All right, let’s get this interview started.” Zander began the interview before I could even regain my composure.
I calmed down a little when I saw how professional he was being, and we went through the interview process smoothly.
I was able to answer all of his questions easily thanks to my two years of hard work, and the fact that he ended the session without any difficult questions helped a ton as well. “Okay, we’ll end the interview here. When will you be able to start work here, Ms. Stovall?”
“Wait… Does this mean I’m hired?” I asked in surprise and disbelief.
Zander leaned against his leather armchair and spread his arms as he said, “Your qualifications suit the company’s needs perfectly, so it would only make sense to hire you. Is there a problem?”
“No, not at all!” I felt a little excited at having my abilities acknowledged, but I also made sure to explain my situation to him, “Did your secretary tell you that I’m pregnant? I’ll only be able to start work about three months later.”
