She had replaced Simon Bell within a week.
The new candidate sat across from her desk, and Anna had decided to conduct this interview personally.
“So,” she said with a warm smile. “You’re probably wondering why a firm that pays its attorneys considerably more than its competitors has such a young CEO.”
You hadn’t planned on asking, but the question had definitely crossed your mind.
“Actually, yes. How did you manage it?” you asked directly.
Anna laughed softly and stood. She walked around the desk and leaned against its edge directly in front of you.
“Everyone has their talents. I’m more interested in finding out what yours are…”
“I graduated from—” you began.
She cut you off.
“That doesn’t matter. Your experience is relevant, or you wouldn’t be sitting here.” Her brown eyes stayed fixed on yours. “I’m much more interested in whether you and I will work well together.”
Her smile remained perfectly in place.
