The Interview!

Chapter 2

"Yeah."

"Then yes if my information is correct. Miss Manoban would like you to come in this afternoon if possible to be shown around with everything explained, would that be possible?"

"Yes," Jennie says quickly. "I mean yes that would be fine."

"Brilliant. 12 O clock. If you just come to the front desk and ask for Seulgi I will escort you to where you need to be."

"Ok thank you." Jennie says far to happy for a stupid mailroom job, but quite frankly she could scream with excitement. She got the job!

"You are welcome Miss Kim. See you this afternoon. Bye."

The phone goes flat and Jennie doesn't even care as she drops her phone on the kitchen side and throws her hands in the air with excitement. Damn straight you got the job, she tells herself before quickly firing a text of to Jisoo and Irene with the great news before scrambling to get ready while trying to remember which woman was named Miss Manoban, hoping it was the woman with brown eyes, because the other one looked about ready to kill her yesterday.

"Hello, I got a phone call earlier about a job." Jennie explains as she reaches the desk in reception.

"Jennie?" The woman questions before standing up and pulling her blazer straight. "Hi, I'm Seulgi the one you spoke to on the phone," she says with a warm smile. "If you would like to just follow me." She gestures towards the large lifts at the side of the building.

For the first time, Jennie steps in the lift and finally realizes how tall the building is with a total of 63 buttons while Seulgi Clicks number fifty-five before turning back to face the blonde with a warm smile.

"Nervous?" She questions as they both wait for the lift to arrive at the correct floor.

"Not at all." Jennie says with confidence. "Have you worked here long?"

"Six years." She confesses.

"Good six years or bad?" Jennie questions with a knowing smirk. Not everyone loves their job.

"Bit of both." she confesses with a wide grin which says It's an ok job.

"Any advice?"

"Hm," She says generally thinking as the lift passes floor thirty-seven. "Avoid Nia at all cost. Suck up to Rose, Never look Mr. Carter in the eye and never linger." She says like its that simple.

"Long list of avoids." Jennie laughs nodding her head smoothly. "Plus Rose. Already lost that one, I had my interview with her, I think she wanted to kill me, honestly, I have no idea why I got this job."

"Ah Miss Manoban. She's lovely, but tough." she laughs. "But you must have done something right." she says as the door pings open to a very busy floor. The floor is full of glass doors and windows that look right through the offices unless their blinds are drawn.

"Miss Manoban?" Jennie questions suddenly like a light bulb flashing in her head. "That's Rose?"

"Yes." She says like it's common knowledge but before Jennie can say anything else, they are standing at a glass door with the two women from the interview. The gentle knock from Seulgi has them both looking up with both eyes both landing on Jennie. It's weird how two people can look at someone in the same moment but extremely different.

"Miss Kim," Rose says immediately giving a quick nod to Seulgi in thanks before she disappears.

"Good luck." She says quickly. Jennie smiles at her before turning back to Rose and Lisa.

"Would you like to take a seat, Miss Kim?" Lisa questions standing up before gesturing Jennie to sit.

"Thank you." Jennie says sincerely as she takes a seat although at the moment she's not sure if she's thanking her for hiring her because no one else would, or for actually being offered to sit because the way Rose's looking at her, she's not sure if she will have the energy to stand.

"I would like to be the first to offer my congratulations." Lisa smiles honestly "And welcome to the team." She says but Jennie hardly believes she's part of any team. These are all qualified Lawyers while Jennie's simply delivering their mail, hardly teamwork at all really.

"Thank you." Jennie says with a smile but the frown she has is struggling to vanish because quite honestly she doesn't get it.

"Rose here will be your boss. You may go to her with any problems..."

"Hold on." Rose interrupts. "You wanted to hire her. She was your choice." Rose says pointedly. "She can be your problem."

"Rose." Lisa warns with her brown eyes and Jennie do nothing but sit there awkwardly while watching the two exchange something wordlessly.

"No." Rose finally says. "She was your choice, you can take responsibility for her." Rose says with determination before turning to Jennie with a look already saying I have no idea why you're even here. Then she's walking out while Jennie is left with no choice but to look at Lisa who has quickly gained Rose's death stare. It's quite scary actually.

"I apologize, Miss Kim." Lisa says honestly before looking down at her paperwork. "If there are any problems please don't hesitate to find me." she says. "If you would like to follow me I will show you around." she says her eyes quickly turning soft once more, yet all Jennie seemed to pay attention to was brown eyes and the way her shirt was one button looser than the average shirt.

"Of course." Jennie says with a wide smile. Her boss is hotter than she thought, she thinks as she's following her down the long corridor.
