Chapter 7:
Nick Marone walked out of his office, looking very handsome in his blue button-down shirt and khaki slacks. He smiled when he spotted Caroline, who stood up out of her seat, ready for what would happen.
"Are you Caroline Spencer?" he asked. "Yes, sir, I am. Very nice to meet you," she said with a smile as she & him shook hands. She then grabbed her purse and briefcase and went into his office.
Caroline was in awe as she looked around. The office was very specious with a beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean. It was beautifully furnished nad very comfortable.
WHen both got themselves settled the interview began. Nick asked Caroline some questions ranging from her past work experience to what she hoped to accomplish if she was hired by Jackie M. He then asked her if she had brought any designs with her. Caroline opened up her briefcase and pulled out her sketch pad out. She gave it to Nick and nervously waited.
He went through each design carefully, very impressed by the images Caroline had drawn. The way she drew out the various different clothes, putting a twist to even the classic little black dress.
Simply put, ick felt that he had found the right woman for the job. However, there was one thing on his mind.
"Are these Forrester designs?" asked Nick. "No, sir. I drew those a couple of days after I was let go," said Caroline whose nerves were now shot. She thought that he would hate them.
Turns out she was wrong.
"Well, to be honest with you, Miss Spencer, I love them. I think these designs- and you- are what this company needs. Welcome to Jackie M Designs," he said with a big smile.
Caroline was ecstatic. She now had a job! "Thank you so much, Mr. Marone!" she said excitedly as she shook his hand. "I promise I won't let you & the company down." Nick smiled at her as she walked out.
Caroline felt like she was walking on air. She now had a job & was ready to let the Forresters know that, through her success, they had made a major mistake by firing her. She was ready.
As she drove back to LA, Caroline couldn't wait to tell Liam. She figured that with what he had been going through emotionally with Hope running off & marrying Wyatt that he needed to cheer up and celebrate her new job with her. Caroline hoped that it would be worth it.
Meanwhile, from a window in his own office at Jackie M, Thomas Forrester watched his ex-girlfriend drive away. Now that he found out that they were going to be working together again, he began coming up with a way to get Caroline back in his life.
He just hoped that it would work.
