Entering through the large automatic door, all sort of chatters could be heard from the people coming in for the interview.
The door slid open again, revealing a woman of average height, dressed in a simple blue long sleeve shirt, with a knee length pencil skirt and a closed toe heels, making people throw a few glances at her. Her long loosed hair hang down mid-way behind her. Seemingly brightening up the whole place with her smile.
Elroy, "she is here". Standing by the side of the hallway, he said in a relaxed tone raising his eyebrow upwards.
Madoc, "president? Did you set up the interview today for her?" Feeling his boss acting strangely.
"Did you tell the director of sales department what I said to you yesterday?" Elroy questioned almost inaudibly.
Madoc, "Yes, I told him everything you said. But,boss is it okay to really do that? This is a really important position" he queried in doubt.
"It should be okay to give her the position, she seems capable. I've never made a wrong judgment".
….
Entering the interview room as the next in line interviewee, Kyle felt a surge of anxiety but she wore a faint smile on her face making it look a bit unnatural.
She bowed slightly.
Interviewer, "you can have your sit" He gestured for her to sit down. Walking up leisurely to grab two cup of coffee, he walked up to her handing one over.
Kyle, "…."
"If I'm not mistaken, you are Miss Kyle right?, you don't have to worry, resume to work early on Monday". Passing to her an envelope containing a letter.
"The president asked you to meet him when you are ready to leave".
Kyle, still surprised about everything happening. "I haven't even answered any question"
"Questions?, even the interview is predominantly a facade" the interviewer sneered inwardly.
Interviewer, "We don't have to, you can leave now. You should resume early to work always".
Kyle, "thank you", leaving the interview room,she saw the other interviewees waiting patiently, she felt a twinge of guilt as if she had pulled a string to get the job.
Kyle walked out of the company's door before being stopped by someone.
"You have someone waiting for you over there" pointing towards a luxurious black Tesla car parked not far from the company's entrance, someone told Kyle.
Kyle,"….."
The car door opens, Elroy sat down at the passenger seat patiently as if waiting for someone. Turning to glance at Kyle dazed expression, he chuckled inwardly.
Kyle, "…"
Realizing she had missed something, she recalled the time she met Elroy in the restaurant, she overheard many people calling him president, the number one tycoon in the country. She felt that it all makes sense now, calling her for the interview and even giving her the position without an interview.
Raising her head to look at Elroy's pleased look, she felt as if she just fell right into his ploy.
"Are you just going to stand there, I called you in for a talk. Are you afraid of me" he asked sarcastically.
"Afraid of you, as if?" She scoffed inwardly.
Going into the car, she saw the car door close behind her, having an alarm look on her face.
Kyle,"what are you doing?".
Elroy,"….."
Giving her credentials back to her he said indifferently "you forgot this back at the restaurant, so I retrieved it back for you"
Kyle, "Are you simply giving this back to me or you want something else, shameless!!", she could only use this word to describe him now but refrained from saying it loudly.
"Did you do that?" Asking him with a grim expression.
Elroy,"..."
"What is with that look on your face, you are supposed to thank me Incessantly, giving me that sort of look. So ungrateful" he thought inwardly.
Before he could reply she continued, "what do you want in return?, do you think doing this will make me give myself to you".
