Chap 3 - The Interview
Rory entered in the building, it's great just as she thought. She went to elevator and pressed the button 8. She started to be nervous, after all she would make an interview with the editor, the main head of the paper that was the job of her dreams.
She got out of the elevator and went to a desk in front of a door where a woman in her almost forties was sat. She'd short black hair and brown eyes, and seemed to be nice. The desk and door thing made it seems that that was a little office inside the big office that was all floor. She assumed that the woman was the editor's secretary and after the door it's the editor's room. And she's right.
"Hey, I'm Lorelai Gilmore. I came to an interview"
"Oh, hi. I'm Monica; I talked to you on the phone. Just sit down; the editor is a little busy today with other interviews. He'll do your interview in a sec"
"Okay, thanks", and she sat on one of the chairs in the 'waiting room' that was the chairs between Monica's desk and the editor's door.
Fifteen minutes later a beautiful woman with long black hair and green eyes got out from the editor's room saying "Thank you. It's nice to meet you", and closed the door behind her before head to the elevator.
Rory thought to herself that the woman looked a little slut to the job. She thought her clothes were exposing her too much. But she didn't know how the editor chooses his journalists, so maybe that girl was the one for the job. Who knows? She thought to herself, 'Well, at least I came here. I gave it a shot. I just hope I get the job'.
And with all this thinking five minutes had already passed and the door opened again.
"Monica", he called looking directly to her and not noticing Rory siting almost in front of him, "who's the next?"
"It's Lorelai Gilmore", she said casually picking Rory's resume and handing it to him.
He looked shocked. His eyes wandered through the room setting in a beautiful woman with long brown hair and two sparkling blue eyes.
Rory was pale. The surprise seemed to be too much for her. She got up slowly starring at him. He still had his hair messed up and that thing in his eyes, that seemed he was always looking for something.
He mentioned her to enter to his room and she followed him. He went behind his desk and sat on his chair as she sat on the chair in front of him.
"So...Ms. Gilmore..."
"Yeah?"
"I'm-"
"Jess Mariano"
He smirked, "Yeah", and then continued, "I see your resume is really interesting. Chilton, Yale..."
"Jess you know all that, and you're playing like you've never seen me before. If you prefer me to leave, I'll go, but please stop pretending"
"Sorry, it's just...Well, it should be an interview with someone that I never met before"
"Same here"
"So, how's Lorelai? I talked to her sometime ago"
"When?"
"About a year and an half, maybe two"
"Oh", she paused, "She's fine. I spent last month with her and Luke"
"Hum, so they are really serious? I didn't talk to her this much and Luke doesn't talk about their relationship"
There's an odd silence
"So, your resume is really good. I think you'll be the one. I have some other interviews this afternoon but I'm sure that none of them will have this resume, or want to be a journalist as much as you. Anyway, we'll call you to confirm it later", he said finishing the interview without questioning her anything professional.
"Jess, I don't want any privilege. If I'm not good enough for the job, I can find another. There're a lot of papers in this city", she said as she got up.
"Rory, you're great, you have a really good resume and you'll be a wonderful journalist. I'm not doing this just because...well...I mean...for the past" He said going to the door.
He opened the door and she grabbed her purse, ready to go when he continued unexpectedly.
"But I remember once, a long time ago. We're in a car eating ice cream, in cones of course, and I promised you that you would be a journalist", he said smirking.
She looked at him surprised.
"Yeah, you promised me that", she said smiling innocently. "Thanks. Bye, Jess"
"See ya, Ror"
And just a minute after she'd gone he asked Monica to cancel all other interview that he had. He had found the perfect journalist. He had found the perfect girl. Again. And this time things would be different.
