The interview

"Congratulations! You're now part of this great Empire." He said. The stony face cracked a little to reveal a hint of a smile for the first time since that morning.

“On behalf of the CEO of this great Empire whom you both will be working for, I welcome you on board..."

"Thank you, sir!" Samantha and the boy who had earlier introduced himself as Ted Morrison chorused in reply to the assistant, who nodded back in return before continuing.

"We gave you this job because we believe you will be a terrific asset to our team, and we look forward to your input!...

Mr. Morrison, even though you will be working with the Human Resources Department, you will be reporting directly to the CEO. I will take you through what exactly is expected of you in a private meeting later...

And Miss Da-Silva, you and I both are working directly with the CEO. I know you're still a student but still, we need you to start as soon as possible. We'll discuss how we would work around your schedule later."
