160 Tunneling through the Northern ice wall/Wildling ou (1/2)
Without saying a word, she rose from her seat and moved to the chair next to Ben's, crossing her legs in an elegant motion as she turned to face him.
He blinked. 'Is she f*cking Mystique?'
...
Despite sensing the difficulty of the situation, Ben couldn't help savoring the sight of her legs in those black stockings and heels. He tried to focus on the interview but hesitated because he was uncertain what was happening. 'Is she going to give me a Fatal Instinct p*ssy flash?'
…
Too bad for him that it wasn't that kind of interview, because he never followed through on the Brazzers thing.
...
With everyone in place, Paul smirked as if he couldn't wait for Ben's failure, and explained. ”This is Laura. She's an employee at the company. You'll be interviewing her in front of us to allow us to see your interviewing ability, or the lack thereof…”
Jacob and Bob both shook their heads. Ben wowed them with his performance during the previous questions, but understanding theory was one thing, and being a good interviewer was another. Interviewing was a crucial part of many jobs in a media company, but it was a skill one could only develop through experience. Not only did Ben not have any experience, but there was an even bigger issue—the person he was interviewing!
Laura was a famous glacial beauty in the company, the kind anyone would have difficulty holding a conversation with. On top of her intimidating looks and aloof demeanor, there was another problem—she was Paul's daughter!
Both of them could see Paul didn't want Ben to get the job, let alone a family member who understood him best. It would be surprising if she didn't go out of her way to make things difficult!
Ben gazed at the beauty. Her formal posture and cold face under the glasses were clear indications of her stoic nature, and that she wouldn't be giving Ben a warm reception...because her face was cold...
Even thinking of the daily dad joke didn't stop him from scrunching his eyebrows subconsciously... 'This is the type of woman I have the most trouble with.' Ben always found older professional women troubling even to talk to in bars, let alone during a formal interview. Still, he could only try his best. ”What should I interview her about?”
”About working in this company, or something else if you like.” Paul couldn't care less about the topic. His smug smirk made it clear he believed the result was inevitable.
Ben knew he didn't have any experience with interviews, and an uncompliant subject made it even more difficult, but he could only start. ”How long have you been working at this company?”
”1 year.”
…
”Do you enjoy your work?
”Yes.”
…
Ben swallowed. He recalled his experiences building attraction and comfort with women. 'I need to ask open-ended questions. Those should encourage her to speak more.' He asked the next question. ”What kind of work do you do here?”
”Operational and administrative assistance.”
…
”Could you be more specific?”
”Yes.”
