Claire Keegan Interview Novels & Stories

"Yes, she's okay, listen, Claire wants to do an interview with you, as soon as possible." She paused, listening. "Tomorrow?" Nina repeated, looking at me questioningly. I nodded. "Tomorrow works," Nina confirmed. "Here at the penthouse, two PM, perfect." She hung up and smiled. "You're doing this," she said. "I'm doing this," I agreed, feeling nervous energy building in my chest. Julian's hand found mine and squeezed. "We need to prep," he said. "Decide what you want to talk about, what's off limits, how you want to frame everything."

Thompson said. Claire shook hands with the interviewers and took her seat. The interview began, with questions about her qualifications, experience, and goals. Claire answered confidently, showcasing her skills. Then, Mr. Thompson leaned forward. "So, Claire, what makes you want to work at our company?" Claire's eyes sparkled. "Your company's innovative approach to technology and commitment to excellence align with my passions. I'm excited about the opportunity to contribute." The interviewers exchanged impressed glances.

The magazine interview was scheduled for Thursday. A journalist named Claire Danes … not the actress, she clarified immediately when she introduced herself, with the practiced ease of someone who had said it ten thousand times … arrived at Grayson’s apartment with a photographer and a voice recorder. I liked her immediately. We sat in Grayson’s living room. Him and I on the couch. Claire across from us with her recorder on the table. “Before we start,” she said, “I want you both to know this isn’t a gotcha piece. I’m interested in what actually happened. The whole picture.”

Claire croaked beside her who’s now finished eating her breakfast and is ready to go to school. “N-Nothing, Claire,” She forced a smile before abruptly standing up. And just like that, her mother was already calling her. She already knew what it would be about so instead of answering, she ignored it and walked inside her room. She wanted the interview of herself. It’s posted on youtube with the title, Why Ellyse Kennedy chose architecture. The last part of the video was basically her talking about Kai and their family, as if they were perfect and whole—far from what they truly are.

Two days later… “We keep getting calls from media houses, Ma'am. They want to have an exclusive interview with you,” David Jenkins, Claire’s assistant, reported. Claire frowned and sighed deeply. She glanced up at David and remarked, “I’m sure you’ve politely turned them down on my behalf.” “I said I would get back to them-” “I’m not going to have an interview when I know they don’t want to find out about me or how I started the law firm from scratch. They just want to ask me if I’ve truly given up on my billionaire EX for another man,” Claire spat, her eyes flickering with anger.

"Nice to meet you." We went inside. Dinner wasn't the interrogation I expected. Claire didn't ask about my net worth. She didn't ask about the scandal. She talked about kilns. She talked about the difficulty of centering clay on a wheel. She talked about living in a studio apartment in Brooklyn that smelled like dust. She was real. She was the anti-Sienna. There was no performance. No filter. "So," I said as we drank coffee on the porch later. "You're a potter."

Finn grabbed a book and a pen to take note of what would be said, and also got his phone ready for a recording in case he missed out on some of the discussion. "Let us hear from you, Mr Johnson, why would you, a gas expert, want to suddenly invest in our company's project?" Claire began, going professional. "I have some money I don't want to keep in the bank, and my wife is a huge fan of all the entertainment that was produced by your company. It's our anniversary soon, I want to surprise her with her name displayed as one of the sponsors when the movie is out." Claire smiled at him, "That's a good one. But do you know that the movie might not come out this year?"

Keira smiled, seeing how slowly Clarke is learning from her; their team will be the best in the business world not to mention their fantastic chemistry and teamwork in bed. “Sure, and please tell him to announce a press conference for you as well after the photoshoot. This way we will be creating hype helping our partners for promotion.” Clarke was dumbfounded by Keira’s suggestion. “A press-conference? Why would the press be interested in someone like me?” Keira giggled realizing how naïve her husband is. “Well, you are the most handsome company president after all. The hype will be a positive one, just be sure to be yourself during the interview. People will know when you are genuine.”

I would play it better. --- Meanwhile, across town… Claire gripped the steering wheel with one hand while holding her phone to her ear with the other. “Get everything there is to know about Liam Raul King,” she said into the line, her voice steady and commanding. “Everything, even before he became who he is today. You can do that, can’t you?” “Of course, madam. Thank you for using our service,” the voice on the other end replied smoothly. Claire ended the call and tossed the phone onto the passenger seat, a small, satisfied smile playing on her lips.

It's just my love for cooking that has made me what I am today; given me what I have. They went about asking me questions about my family, my age and other personal questions. When the subject of how Logan and I met came up, we practically dodged the bullet. We'd never spoken to anyone about our circumstances, and although they were his family, I wasn't sure he'd want to discuss this here and now. There were touchy subjects and this one just happened to be the greatest one of all. Mia walked up to us, and I silently thanked God that this conversation was over for now. "Khloe, would you mind joining me in the kitchen?" She asked, and I was astounded.
