Chapter 100

We grabbed some breakfast downstairs before I went to get ready. Logan had told his dad he was going to go into the office late to make sure he could drive me to the interview.

Once I was dressed, I checked myself a million times in the mirror unsure if my hair and level of make-up was too much or not enough. Logan pulled me into his arms reassuring me.

“You’re perfect. You will be fine. Come on, it’s time to go.”

I nervously nodded. The drive was longer than anticipated. The rush hour traffic was more than I had thought it would be. I could see Logan getting road rage at people although he was trying his best to hide it. We pulled into the firm car park and Logan swiped his badge to open the gate. Once we were parked, he swiped me into a side entrance and walked me into the building a different way to what I remembered. I stiffened upon memory flashes but managed to regain my composure before Logan noticed the change.

He walked me to the stairs, and we headed up towards the boardroom. He knocked on the door, asked me to wait where I was while he disappeared inside. A few moments later he returned smiling. Behind him followed his dad and a lady I didn’t recognise.

“Leah, it’s great to see you. We are glad that you could make it today.” Jack offered me his hand.

I shook his hand, “Thank you for the opportunity to interview for a position here.”

“Leah, this is Julie Shepherd. Julie this is Leah.”

Julie held her hand out, “It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

“Likewise.” I shook her hand.

“Thank you for bringing her up, Logan.” Julie smiled at him, there was something all too familiar about the smile.

He leant in and kissed me on the cheek, “Good luck.”

I followed them into the boardroom and took a seat opposite them. In front of them was a proforma of questions along with my CV. Jack explained that Julie would be conducting the interview. He was there to take notes and potentially ask questions if he wanted to touch more upon a subject. I wriggled in the seat getting comfortable and was ready to start.

“Leah, before we start, I would like you to tell us a little about yourself and your work experience. I know there is a nice and neat overview here in your CV, however I like to hear it in your own words.” Julie stated.

“Of course. I’m Leah, and I have worked various roles in my working career. Most of them have been within data inputting and admin type roles. Over the years through various roles, I have undertaken additional work to help others along with also studying a business degree through work for business admin. Personally, I have moved away from home and back again a couple of times depending on my personal circumstances. I have a few interests outside of work that help me unwind in my spare time, such as country walks and journalling.”

“Thank you. Are you ready to start?” Julie asked.

I nodded. The first few questions were expected ones about my lack of experience and why I was looking for a new position. Next came questions about my experience and skills.
