Chapter 73 - Job interview (1) (2/2)
Considering how things are going so far, Sarah lost any appetite she had. But she still ordered a light salad.
'She must be really upset when she got herself a salad.' Aiden was surprised to see her choice of food knowing that she usually goes carb-heavy, but he kept his opinion to himself. He came today to support her, not to make it harder.
After they ordered food and waiter left, Jeff looked at Sarah and went to the point. ”Miss Hill, what qualifications do you think you have for this job?”
Sarah was taken aback by his question, but her face didn't show it. 'Isn't this a job for a hacker?' It's known that hackers don't advertise their skills. They need to be secretive about their skills and work they do, in order to stay safe, since it can be used against them. How can she go around telling that she hacked into a police database, or hospital records? It is illegal, after all. Based on his attitude, Sarah can tell that he is not friendly towards her. He asked this question to make her stumble. 'I don't really need a job from a financial point, but this is a good opportunity for me, and I can work beside Aiden. Since I decided on this, I need to show that I'm not easy to bully.' Sarah decided to give her best effort to secure this job.
She looked him in the eyes, without showing any emotion. ”If you want to know if I'm qualified, why don't you give me a task to do?”
Jeff nodded. This was within his expectations. He pulled out one laptop out of his briefcase and handed it to her. ”Unlock it.”
Sarah opened the laptop, and when it powered on, she looked at it for few seconds. She got her phone and one cable out of her backpack which she used to connect her phone to the USB port of the laptop. She fiddled with her phone a bit, and in less than a minute laptop was unlocked. Sarah turned the laptop towards Jeff. ”This is child's play. How about you give me something more serious.”
Jeff was surprised with her speed and did his best to look composed. ”OK” Jeff was prepared for this case. Without much hesitation, he opened his briefcase, and out of one folder he got a piece of paper, handing it to Sarah. She took the paper and read the text on it:
”Eastern European company NaseGas* is focused on oil drilling. There is evidence that they are involved in nuclear weapon development. Find records of their activity related nuclear weapon development for last three years.”
As she was reading, Sarah heard Jeff say, ”You have until end of day.”
Sarah nodded in understanding. ”Do I have any limitations on what resources I can use?”
Jeff thought for few seconds, before looking at his brother. ”You can't use him”. He pointed at Aiden.
Sarah found that limitation amusing. 'Do you really think that I will depend on him at a time like this?'. A slight smile flashed on her face. ”Besides that, are there any other restrictions for me to have in mind?”
Jeff thought for some time before confirming. ”Other than him, you can use whatever you want.”
Sarah gave a small nod.
Aiden was looking at Sarah, then glanced at his brother before looking back at Sarah. He could not help but smile. He already decided not to interfere. He will only observe and be a support for Sarah. From her skills which he got to observe so far; he could tell that Sarah will give him a good show to watch. And based on how his brother treated Sarah just now, Aiden knows that she is upset and will retaliate in order to make him swallow his words. At this time, he was almost certain that Sarah will use Eve, and was looking forward to the results. 'This brother of mine needs to see for himself that Sarah is not a simple person. She looks sweet, but if you anger her, you need to be ready for the consequences.'
