Two days later, I stood outside the NovaTech office building, fidgeting with my dress as I prepared for the interview. I'd spent hours researching the company, but I still couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. Zion had seemed to know more about the company than he was letting on, but I'd pushed the thought aside, focusing on preparing for the interview instead.
As I stood outside the company building, my phone rang, shrill in the quiet morning air. I fished it out of my bag and saw Beatrice's name on the screen. I hesitated for a moment, she had been calling non stop since I told her about the job.
"Hey, Beatrice!" I said, trying to sound cheerful as I answered the call.
"Sharon! Happy morning!" Beatrice's voice was bright and bubbly... "How's it going? You must be getting ready for your interview, right?"
"Yeah, I'm here already," I replied, glancing up at the office building looming above me. "Just getting ready to head in."
