"Uh, Mr. Izanagi?"
I turn around and see a woman in her mid-20s, brunette with curly-long hair, white skin, and black iris. She wears a white shirt, a black slack pants and is holding a file in her right hand. She's gorgeous, obviously.
"Yeah, are you one of the candidates who applied for the job as an accountant? If I remember... your name is Sydney West, right?" When someone wants to apply for a job, they need to include a picture of them and information about them. That's where I recognize her face and vividly remember her name.
"Yes, that's right. I'm Sydney West and it's nice to meet you, Mr. Izanagi." *Shaking hands*. She seems like a person who will make sure that her job is done but, do not judge too soon. I still have to interview her. She may be a demon in disguise, theoretically.
I invite her to sit and offer her a cup of coffee from the cafe since it may be a long interview if she meets all the requirements. She wants to buy me a coffee instead but I insist, so she gives up and says that she wants a cup of mocha. Thus, I go to the counter and order a mocha for her and a latte for me. Then, our coffee is done, I pick it up and bring it to the table. I give the mocha to her and she thanks me before I sit down on the opposite chair of hers. Appreciate others, good.
Then, we begin the interview. She tells a bit about herself like her family, life, ambition, and why she wants to work with me. Other than that, she hands me a file of her health document in case I need it which I am, totally not forgot it. I look at it and she got no diseases or some kind of health problem that require her to leave work, as healthy as a horse. She also doesn't smoke or vape, which is a plus there.
Not just that, I ask her about working overtime and she says that she is okay to work overtime as she doesn't has anything to do at home, she lives far away from her family, and she doesn't have a pet at home which makes her not worry about others.
One last question, relationship. I know it's a bit personal but I don't want any fight to happen between them which can affect the overall work performance. She is a bit shocked when I asked her that, but she is okay with that and says that she is currently not in a relationship. That's good.
Everything looks great and she basically meets all of my requirements but I have to meet the other two first before making my final decision. It will be unfair if I choose her but didn't meet the other candidates. It's biased.
It took us an hour to finish the interview. We stand up and shake hands before she departs. I told her that she is great but I have to meet others first, but I guarantee that she definitely will be chosen if I don't like them. She chuckles at my joke.
Well, the sun is about to set and I don't think I can meet the other two as they both live in different cities and it'll take at least an hour for them to arrive and it'll be night by the time they arrive. So, I take out my phone and sent them an email saying that the interview will be held tomorrow morning. I put back my phone into my pocket and walked back to my home as I need to make dinner for us, Erika, and me.
There is nothing interesting happening at the night, it's usually like every night, shower, have dinner, stream, and sleep. Tomorrow though... it's started getting more tiring than before.
I wake up and do what I usually do. After that, I meet with the second candidate at the cafe to interview her. Her profile is... okay, I would say. She doesn't have any work experience although her age is about to reach 40, not so great. However, her personality gives off that she is a nice person. She told me that the reason why she never had a job before is that her husband won't let her work and be a housewife. But, since her husband has died, she has to take care of her youngest child. I feel bad for her but I still can't hire her. I apologize and move to the next and final candidate.
This one... is not great. He lied about everything on his profile except for his name and his face. He's rude, constantly harassing the female waitresses, smoking during the interview, wearing inappropriate clothes, using a lot of curse words, and more. When I told him that he won't get the job, he's become mad and threatened to kill me if I don't give him the job. I don't want to cause too much attention but it's too late as the guard arrived and captures him.
*Sigh* I'm on the way back to my house after dealing with the madman. I'm tired. It's afternoon and I don't eat anything yet. I arrive and instantly lay on the couch in the living room. Erika comes looking at me and asks, "So, how is your day, big bro? Find the perfect candidate yet?"
"Agh, it's exhausting. Especially when I have to deal with all the paperwork about a man who threatened to kill me. I don't know that interviewing people would be this exhausting. Hey, Erika, order some food, I'm too tired to cook anything right now."
"Okay. *Taking out her phone* What do you want?"
"Anything. I'm too tired to even think."
"And you're too tired to eat?" *Laughing*
"Say whatever you want, Erika. I don't care."
"Yeah-yeah, I order you a set of shawarma and omelet rice for me, how about it?"
"Yeeeeaaaah."
"All of it will be $30."
"Just take my phone and do everything you need to. I want to sleep. Wake me up when the food is here. *Yawn* Goodnight."
"You're hopeless, big bro and it's still afternoon. And... there you go, sleep on the couch, again." *Smile* Goodnight, big bro.
