A/N: In my story, Dani has never worked at the club, but she did have the interview with Ronnie!!!

This is for the people who never fail to review after reading!

ALL FEEDBACK WELCOME! REVIEWS PLEASE!!!!!!

"Ronnie, will you chill out? You're not meant to be the nervous one here!" Jack watched Ronnie pace up and down the office. She looked up to him as he spoke, sighed and then sat down in her leather office chair.

"I am not nervous. Just remember what we agreed yeah," Ronnie looked up to him sternly. He nodded in agreement but she wasn't satisfied. She held her stare until he looked away, "Yes you've told me a hundred times, give it a rest." Jack looked out the circular glass window, "She's cutting it a bit fine isn't she?" He arched his neck further up but all he could see was Dawn putting change into the tills.

"She's got plenty of time, I hate it when they come in to early, and you don't know what to do with them." Jack couldn't tell if Ronnie was being her usual cold self, or if she was purely terrified. By 'they', he assumed she meant the interviewees.

Danielle practically threw herself down the stairs. She pushed her hair back and composed herself before turning the corner and entering the club. Dawn looked up to see a very professional, well presented looking Danielle, although her facial expression told a different story. She was in fact completely shaken. "Hiya, wow you look smart," she gave a warm smile over to the young girl

Danielle blushed slightly, "Thanks, I hope it's not too much. I couldn't really decide and then I saw the time and practically ran here."

A hint of jealousy and resentment fell upon Dawn. Gary had mentioned how friendly the pair seemed. Ronnie Mitchell's new best buddy comes for a job interview at the club, surely it's hers right? Where did that put Dawn? It's not like the club needed new staff. Only weeks ago there had been rumours about people being made redundant, and here's Ronnie giving out work to inexperienced teens! What about the rest of the people that actually had to put the effort into getting this job?

Dawn tried her best to push these thoughts to the back of her head. Who was she to judge? She had first hand experience at this whole process, and at such a young age, she knew how ruthlessly the bank could dry up.

"You look like you've seen a ghost. You're going to be fine, believe me, Jack's a softie really." She tried her best to reassure the girl. The jealousy was now replaced with sympathy after one look at Danielle's petrified expression.

Danielle smiled up at her and sighed. "It's just… this sounds stupid, but this job would mean a lot to me, not just money-wise but…well…" She struggled to find the right words. She soon realised that she herself had not actually thought about what this job would mean for her, for Ronnie, for her bank!

"When I came here for my interview, it was mainly Ro..."

The office door flung open, "Danielle, you can come in," Jack gave her a soft smile whilst holding the door open. Danielle's mind had started gyrating at the sound of Ronnie's initial syllables. Was this what she really wanted? 'Too late now,' she thought as she walked towards Jack. She turned to Dawn to thank her, who returned a smile and a thumbs-up.

She walked in as Jack continued to hold the door, "Thanks," Her voice was husky and she hadn't noticed how dry her throat had become. As she went to clear her gullet, A formally dressed blonde woman caught her eye and she nearly chocked. Ronnie was sat in her chair with a bunch of papers before her. Danielle looked at her blankly, but her shock seeped through.

Jack was oblivious to the whole situation here as he walked over to his chair beside Ronnie. "Take a seat Danielle, make yourself comfortable, we're just going to have a friendly chat so there's no need to feel nervous…"

Ronnie straightened up before interrupting her partner. "I'm just here to observe, Jack's previous line of work means he's much better at this than me."

Ronnie's tone was soft, but very quiet. She was the complete opposite compared to Danielle's previous interviewer a few months back. Danielle responded with a simple nod, she mentally cursed herself for not making it clear to Ronnie that when she requested Jack to be her interviewer, she implied for Ronnie to be out of the scene. It was too late now, but Danielle could feel the nerves rising. She tried to remember the three golden rules she had learnt at school about interviews: Keep your back straight, keep eye contact and don't waffle. Piece of cake. Danielle jumped as a male voice filled the air.

"So Danielle, tell me a little bit about yourself," Jack relaxed a little into his chair and smiled at the candidate.

Danielle had expected this question and had promised herself she would avoid the topic of movies.

"Well, I…."

She looked over to Ronnie who beamed back encouragingly.

Danielle remembered golden rule number two and diverted her attention back to Jack. "I'm a people's person really. I umm… love… well, I…I love people I guess," she released a nervous smile and buried her neck into her shoulders. That was officially the stupidest sentence she had ever spoken.

"Right," Jack quickly looked down but Danielle was sure he was smiling. "Well looking at your CV we have on file, you recently moved from Telford. Lovely town, and a very ambitious move coming into London, tell me what made you want to come to the east." Jack looked up from the piece of paper on his desk and smiled once again to Danielle.

Ronnie gulped, She could have strangled Jack right then, but instead she looked busy pretending to scribble things down with her broken pencil.

Danielle once again had to tear her eyes away from Ronnie. "Well, I was looking for someone…" She started fiddling with her hands. "Anyone really, you know, go out into the real world, meet new people, to find myself." She was desperate to see Ronnie's facial response, it would answer so many questions, but she didn't dare break eye contact with Jack.

"Well Danielle I see you have very little experience in this field…" He waited for Danielle to respond, but in the meantime had received a high-heel kick from Ronnie. Pain shot through his leg, but he remained convincingly composed.

"I know," she straightened her back and placed her hands on her laps, "but I pick things up really quickly, like I said earlier, I communicate well with people from all walks of life, and I make friends really easily." Danielle decided to stop in fear of seeming to forceful to explain the lack of experience, which would make it seem like a huge problem.

Jack placed his hands on the desk as he looked Danielle seriously in the eye, "okay, I'm going to give you some figures: Three sixty, seven ninety, two ninety six, give me the total ple…" His face cringed as he bent down to place a hand below his knee. Those heels he had bought Ronnie last Christmas… Mental note: Ask Dawn to bring in some ice soon! Jack unruffled himself immediately and shot a look over to Ronnie.

Danielle had been distracted by Jack's body language. Had he dropped something? Was that two ninety or one ninety?

"Umm… Fourteen Forty?" she asked unsurely. Ronnie's intimidating voice from her first interview flooded her mind. She repeated her self, although this time more confidently. "That's Fourteen Forty," she smiled over to Jack who beamed back at her. He put on his best sarcastic tone, raised his voice as if talking to a child and turned to face his partner, "That is defiantly one of our fastest responses isn't it Ronnie?" Ronnie shot him a dirty look, but replied in the same manner, raising her voice a little in pitch.

"Why yes Jack, I believe it is," She decided to ignore Jacks stupidity and smiled over at Danielle.

Jack turned to face the candidate as he placed a sheet of paper in front of him, covering Danielle's CV.

"How you would describe your strengths and weaknesses Danielle." He bowed his head and scribbled something down.

"um… Well I work excellently under pressure, I always put One-Hundred percent into anything I do, I work hard and I'm extremely reliable." Danielle stuttered slightly as she thought what to say. To her dismay, she soon noticed she sounded as if she were making a list. She decided to move onto describing a weakness, which Stacey had helped her put together. "My biggest weakness would be being a perfectionist. I'm not satisfied until I know that something is purely completed, and I need to learn to accept that sometimes things are best left as they are." She ended nervously as she noticed how she was looking into Ronnie's widened eyes. 'Golden rule number two!' She quickly looked back at Jack, who was busy scribbling away.

Ronnie was bowled over, but extremely pleased. That was - as Jack would describe – almost a model answer.

As Jack looked back up, he grinned, "Well we could defiantly use a perfectionist around here."

Danielle smiled shyly, the thought that Ronnie could soon be her boss popped into her head. Ronnie would have yet even more control over Danielle's life, one wrong move gave Ronnie the potential to treat Danielle like some filth on the back of her shoe.

"Tell me what you expect to get from working here," Jack sent another smile her way as he finished. This put Danielle's nerves at ease. She wasn't really sure what she wanted from this job, after all her priorities concerning this job differed from other candidates.

"Well like I've said, I'm here to find myself. Working at RnR's would allow me to meet new people, gain valuable experience at such a creditable location, but most importantly…" Her eyes instinctively met Ronnie's. She froze mid sentence, causing Jack to look up from his notes. He observed Danielle's stare at Ronnie, but it was hard to tell what she was thinking. Just as he went to break the silence, Ronnie quietly spoke after clearing her throat as a sign of breaking the awkwardness, "Well, I think that's everything. Danielle, do you have any questions?"

Danielle shook her head, looked down to her busy hands, and then back to Ronnie. "No, that's fine thanks." Her confidence melted away as soon as she had met Ronnie's eyes. Ronnie broke through her with so little effort.

"Well, I think you're the per…" Jack raised his voice over hers as he interrupted.

"Well if in the meantime any questions crop up, don't hesitate to contact me. I'll be in touch soon Danielle, thank you for coming." He rose from his seat to see Danielle out, leaving Ronnie hanging mid sentence. Should she see Danielle out? Maybe Danielle needed to be left alone right now? She had to do something, what if Danielle was expecting her to say something…

"Uh Danielle, I'll call you later yeah?" She was relieved to see her daughter turn around, smile and gave a quick nod.
