Novel & Cerita Claire Keegan Interview

Claire’s eyes widened in excitement. “Umm.. yeah..” “Which club is it?” “Writer’s..” “Oh.” Claire looked disappointed for a moment. “I’m not in the Writer's Club.” “So you don’t have his phone number?” Abigayle leaned closer. They seem to be very interested in Keenan. “Nope.” She shook her head. “Ah.. okay..” Abigayle nodded. She didn’t think it was possible for Dawn to get Keenan’s number either. “So anyway, I heard that he’ll be interviewed by the local television.”

~Katia~ The interview took three hours. Claire Hewitt from Monde Social arrived at my office at nine AM with a photographer and a recorder and the barely contained excitement of someone who had been waiting three weeks for this and had spent most of them wondering if I would cancel. I did not cancel. I had made a promise, and I kept my promises, even to magazine editors I had met under circumstances that had involved my mother and a deeply unflattering headline.

“‘Back to the essence’. I think it’s an excellent reminder for me.” She stared at me, unable to continue. “Miss Claire, have you got everything you need?” I asked in a calm tone, still—for the love of God—smiling. She blinked out of her trance and started stammering. “What? Oh! Y-Yes! Of course!” “Great! Do you mind if we end here? I got another interview to run to. It’s for my upcoming album.” Her eyes lit up with greed. “Oh my! Do you mind giving me a few more minutes? I’d like to hear about your new album. It’s the hype these days. Especially after that incident at the cafe….”

It was quite challenging, especially for someone like Claire, who had never been interviewed before. Rita did not know where Claire's trigger points were. As Claire was a woman, Rita hoped to conduct her first-ever interview comfortably for everyone involved. She also hoped that after the interview, Claire would completely shake off any negative feelings towards being interviewed. Otherwise, Rita could not understand why Claire was so resistant to being interviewed.

Claire said brightly, standing to face him. "No what other talents do you possess?" Kevin asked her, his eyes occasionally falling to her chest. "Um, er, I don't know," Claire replied lamely. "Well can you juggle?" "No." "Do acrobatics?" "No." "Tell jokes? Do card tricks? Swallow swords?" "No! No! And No! I mean yes! Oh!" Claire halted in embarrassment. "What do you mean? You can swallow swords? Really?" Kevin asked. "No, not really. I just meant that I can, you know, swallow, er..."

My head could barely take it. Katherine turned away from the wardrobe and placed an armload of clothes on the bed. Then she looked at me in surprise. "What are you doing? Go get ready." "Katherine, I'm in shock." I said. "I'm finding it hard to process all this. An interview? I can't even talk in front of a small crowd. How am I going to attend an interview with cameras pointed straight at me?" "You can do it, Claire. And you've got to be prepared because you're going to have the paparazzi following you around for a while now."

7 The cameras flashed just as Claire crossed the gate and came to this side to meet the waiting crowd of journalists. "Mrs. MacIntyre or Miss Argent? Which one do you prefer?" Irritated by the question, Claire forced her lips to curve. Her grin carried a hint of mockery as she faced the cameras before holding the gaze of the journalist who asked her the question. "What should I call you- a journalist or a woman with impaired eyesight? Or rather... a brainless journalist with impaired eyesight? Which one do you prefer?"

I replied. "I can't believe that some people where asking you advices on how to get pregnant." Stephanie blurted. "I did answer them by quoting sex scenes from the books I've written." I replied laughing. "You're now a famous blogger and I've gotten calls requesting an interview." Claire stated. "Not interested. I can reply to messages but I don't feel comfortable being interviewed. I don't like my face on national TV or something."

She typed out a single ‘Thanks' with so much difficulty as she stops there, squashed inside the subway carriage; the corners of her lips curved into a sweet smile without her realizing it. Claire stayed with Chloe ever since coming back from her trip, But Kelvin didn't mind. He still came over for meals regularly. On the first day of eating together, Kelvin was thoroughly interrogated by Claire about his family background. Chloe felt awkward and embarrassed as she heard them from the kitchen. how she wishes she could storm out and smack Claire on the head with a ladle to shut up. Fortunately, Claire doesn't lag around the house every day; she still had her job, which kept her well and busy
