Chapter 130: Second Interview (2)
The interview continued for hours.
By noon, the room had already seen four different people come and go.
Each interview felt distinct. Every candidate brought their own energy into the room. Some were louder, while some were calmer and cautious. But all of them had come prepared.
After Diana came Lionel. He spoke as if he had practiced each line that he was about to say. It slightly turned off Gray and the others because it felt like he was giving textbook answers rather than real ones.
The third one was Ando. His tone was steady, as always. His answers were short but thoughtful, and when asked about conflict management, he offered a story about a miscommunication between two teams and how he resolved it without choosing sides.
Then came Clarisse.
She walked in with the same bright eyes from before, but this time, there was a quiet confidence to her. She didn’t speak the fastest, but her words were sincere. When asked about leadership, she talked about her work in the restaurant.
It wasn’t a flashy story, but Gray found himself relating to her.
Now, there was only one left.
Marcus looked down at the list in front of him, crossing out the fourth name.
"That’s four," he said, stretching his neck slightly. "The last one’s Joel."
