#6 The master of disguise
After Midas and Karol shook hands after the aforementioned words, Midas changes his smile to a disgusted face and turns his back on Karol and says:
-What's up, Midas?
-Now that you've met all of us ... now it's your turn to talk to the Head of EYE.
-It's obvious that you dislike something, what is it, Midas?
-Even though this guy is my boss, he is responsible for many things ... after you meet him, you will know enough so that you know if you want to spend more than an intern or if you want to go for a more "normal" job.
- "Normal" you say?
-Yes ... but anyway, your office is located below everything, I will accompany you to the entrance after that you are on your own.
-And ... can't you tell me how it is to know what it will be like to talk to him and that?
- "He" prohibited us from providing information to the interns.
-"Okay, I understand," Karol said in a low voice.
After that talk, they both go to the elevator and Midas presses the "-1" button that previously did not attract attention and they begin to go down in the direction of that floor and when they are in the elevator, Karol began to feel slight anxiety and thinking. .
-How will the Chief be? since to remove the smile that Midas always brought at all times and turn her attitude of confidence to total disgust ...
and before she thought of another word the elevator opened and Midas spoke a few last words before saying goodbye to Karol.
-We arrived ... Just be yourself and if you accept it, fine and if not, it is also a good chance to get a less dangerous job.
After these words, Karol got out of his trance-induced car and responded quickly by nodding and then getting out of the elevator and waving Midas while he was there, he pressed the button for the waiting room and returned the gesture and the elevator door was barely closed. a voice came through a speaker.
- "You can come in, intern"
After hearing that, still a little fearful, she enters worrying about how she should act in front of the head of this peculiar company.
-I see you feel nervous ... well it's normal but take it easy is the best, I'm not as scary as it makes me look, Midas.
-As you know?
-There are cameras throughout the building both inside and outside placed so that they are difficult to be detected.
-oh.
"Indeed, now I'd like you to take a seat and let's chat a bit to see if you can handle being more than an intern."
-It's okay.
-In the first place, you know about everyone's peculiarities, right?
-I think I know what you mean but could you be more specific?
-The neutrality of Jess, Hank's trauma with the "demon of depression", Damian's problem with his name, The unity and happiness of the Twin brothers Ken and Kei and the power of the word that Róman has over the young .
-So yes, I could see everyone's peculiarities though ... why didn't I mention Midas?
-Oh? Simple because his peculiarity has not yet been fully developed, he still does not belong to the same category as any of us.
-"We"?
-Like them, I also have a peculiarity.
-And you want to tell me?
The seated man who had had a slightly serious face all the time surprised Karol with a slight smile and with it said:
-You really are more interesting than the other interns ... well my peculiarity is being in the middle.
- "It's in the middle" what do you mean?
-I would say that there are "two types" of people .. the first type would be people who can be considered "normal" like you, for example, they grow normally, are educated and work and die quietly as old people or something like that but with respect to other types of people ...
The room had been silent for a minute and Karol, no longer able to bear this silence and the desire to know the way of thinking of the elderly man, said:
-And how are these types of people different?
After twenty seconds the man reacts and looks at her with a dark smile and says:
-You really want to know, huh?
Karol, surprised by the man's actions, simply nodded.
-Well, the other type of people is ... well, tell me what happens when something serious happens to them?
-Well, usually we all try to get ahead.
-Yes, but in the case of these people, this serious thing would be a fact that would change their entire lives to the point that instead of one more sheep in the flock, they think more than others, think more than routine, think beyond Of the three times of food, school, work, technically they rethink their entire existence in order to avoid another crisis like this one, reaching the extremes of developing perhaps insensitivity, perhaps fear of the unknown, perhaps total distrust, probably also overprotective or otherwise delusions of death ... but my point is ... Karol, both I and the people in this building have peculiarities and I am able to mix with normal people despite this strange behavior that you have just witnessed in me and I am also able to see who are the people who have peculiarities and in your case ... congratulations ... you have a peculiarity.
-What? Which?
-It would be boring to tell you directly so find out for yourself in the company unless after hearing this you want to go try to get ahead and that.
-So you are telling me that if I agree to stay, the job is already mine?
-Yes, as I said before you are an interesting "individual" more if you want to leave this place that some people consider "terrifying".
It took thirty seconds for Karol to make a decision and at the end of those thirty seconds, she said with confidence.
-I ... I take the job.
It is seen how the old man gets up from the chair pulling the last one and laughing out loud he approaches Karol.
"I knew you were someone worthwhile" Saying this in conjunction with a giggle that the old man released every time.
And with this, she comes up with a contract where she indicates everything she must sign and she, still doubtful of the decision that she made hastily, signed everything she had to sign.
