Chapter 335: Reiner - First Night at the Bar
With Queen’s help, I managed to hand in a few job applications over the next two days of my stay at the mansion. During that time, I kept to my room most of the time. It was so boring, but it gave me a good chance to focus on preparing for my job interview that was schedule to take place soon. Thankfully, HR found my experience and educational background a good match with what they were looking for. After giving me a call for the preliminary screening, they invited me for a formal interview in a few days.
Luckily, a manager at the company was looking for a secretary. With this perfect timing, I was scheduled to do an interview for the job. It was such good news that I had to tell Queen about it right away. During the few days that I had free, I thought that it might be a good idea to find some kind of backup plan in case I didn’t get the job.
“Sure, I can lend you a car but where do you want to go?” Queen asked with concern after I had asked to borrow a car.
“I have a job interview coming up in a few days but in case I don’t get the job offer, I was thinking that I should go look for some backup options,” I replied honestly.
“That’s not a bad idea but where are you headed?” Queen asked.
“The entertainment district. I can wait tables perfectly fine. My legs are not as long as yours, but do you think Jamie might consider hiring me?” I asked with a laugh.
“You’re really one hell of a fighter. Good luck. Here’s the car key. Let me walk you to the car. Sorry, I can’t go there with you today,” Queen said as she got up from her seat.
...
I arrived at the entertainment district in the afternoon. It was before the usual opening time for the bars and the whole street was quieter than it was that night when I was there. As expected, business really starts when the sun is about to set and not anytime before. I wondered if Jamie was in and if he had some time to talk to me.
