Peter Roth Internship Novels & Stories

The seventh semester meant everyone was scrambling for something to put on their résumé. G****e. Startups. Research labs. The guy two seats ahead of me was bragging about a small fintech internship downtown, “I’ll probably convert it into full-time,” he was saying loudly. Someone behind me snorted, “Dude, it’s unpaid.” He shrugged, “Still better than nothing.” I kept my eyes on my notebook. The door opened and Professor Adler walked in with a stack of printed papers under his arm. “Morning, everyone,” he said.

Everest also got a frown. “My name is Taggart Kellent. As you all know, I’m the CEO of Excellor. I hope you can spend your entire internship program well and be part of Excellor in the future,” Taggart said in a short formal speech to welcome the interns. He was cold and expressionless. Hence, he was worried, but he stayed calm. Luke watched him from behind the interns. He knew that Taggart was looking for Pearl Rosenthal. Now, he was never going to find her anyway. Pearl should be dead, unfortunately.
