Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 284

Christine and I circled the thought but couldn't figure out who would do such a good deed.

"Forget it, let's not dwell on it. Opening the doors for business and getting orders is all that matters."

Christine was the optimistic one, stretching languidly as she spoke, "We've got someone coming in for an interview soon. You ready to join me?"

"Sure thing," I agreed without hesitation.

Starting up a new company was a Herculean task with just Christine and me on board. No matter how we stretched the hours, there was always more to be done.

Hiring was top of the agenda.

During the interviews, Christine took the lead with the questions while I played the silent observer, only to confer with her later for the final decision.

The first few candidates were okay, but nothing really stood out.

Until a girl walked in, offering us a slight bow before taking a seat and introducing herself, "Hello, my name is Molly Ford..." Something about her familiar simplicity caught my eye.

From time to time, she glanced my way, her eyes gleaming with an earnest brightness.

Christine, amused, asked her, "Do you recognize Ms. Webster here, or do you just find her too stunning?"

"Ms. Webster..." She laughed shyly, then cautiously asked, "Have you ever been to one of Eason’s concerts?"

That question triggered my memory instantly!

A smile curled up on my lips, "So it's you!"

The girl who had waited with me outside the concert.

She sprang up, her eyes curving into crescents, nodding vigorously, "Yes, yes, yes, it's me!"

"What's this...?" Christine raised an eyebrow in curiosity, "Where did you find this adorable girl?"

Before I could explain, Molly eagerly shared with Christine, "It was at the last Eason’s concert. I didn't have a ticket, and she and her friend gave me their spare ones!"

Both Christine and I couldn't help but laugh.

Christine liked her too, her eyes twinkling with amusement as she said, "We're still a fledgling company. What made you want to join us so eagerly?"

"Jane gave me her tickets, she must be a really good person..." Molly didn't hide her feelings, "And, my brother also suggested I apply here..."

She paused suddenly, covering her mouth.

I frowned slightly, "Your brother?"

"Yes!" Molly gave me a reassuring smile, eager yet afraid I might change my mind, quickly adding, "My brother, he saw your job posting and thought your company would be a great place to work."

I nodded, not dwelling on it further, "We officially open next Monday. You start then."

After setting things straight with Molly, Christine and I wrapped up the interviews and headed back to the office to finalize a few more candidates.
