Hello, hello all. I hope you enjoy this chapter!
Disclaimer: Does it count if you own Iron Man in your dreams?
The room in which my interview was conducted was tiny, not to mention the fact it was a mess. If this was what it was like across the whole of Stark Industries, then they sure needed help. Preferably my help, if I was lucky.
I was ushered by another man in an expensive suit to sit down on the chair near the desk, and a woman soon came in, and smiled at me. Perhaps we would get along? I counted myself lucky that the interviewer wasn't "Little-Miss-Bitch-of-the-Month" from the other day. Now that wouldn't haven't been in my favour, and quite frankly, it would have been just plain awkward.
The woman, who I soon learned was called Kathryn, asked me took me through most of the questions I'd come across before, in previous interviews, where I lived, what my old jobs were, how dedicated would I be to the company. I answered every question with detail, and I answered them perfectly. I knew what would get me the job, and I really needed this one.
Fifteen minutes later, once I sat down on the uncomfortable chairs outside the office, watching the world go by yet again, I realised I didn't actually know much about the company. All I knew for sure was that it was owned by a Mr T. Stark, and I had no idea who he was. True, I'd heard the gossip, I mean, in a country like the US, who hadn't? He was famous for being a playboy, sleeping with a different woman every night, and yes, he preferred the blondes. He was a multi-millionaire, and he had graduated from MIT at the age of 15, proving that he was in fact a genius.
Kathryn came out of the office about half an hour later, after the other interviews had finished. I was the only interviewee left, which could mean only one thing…
"Congratulations!" She smiled and said this enthusiastically, and so I really hoped we could be friends. It would be nice to chill with someone sometime. The lack of people I knew in the city was positively alarming, especially for someone of my young age. I needed to be more connected.
"You can start tomorrow, right? We desperately need another accountant to start, and the sooner the better!"
I nodded, still smiling, and briskly walked out the building, for the second time that week. I really was lucky. Hopefully that luck would continue.
Another chapter completed…. And I would just like to warn you…. Pepper will be meeting that special person we've all wanted her to meet, very soon, so keep reading and reviewing!
