My mouth
Mamie
What a jerk. I know I was late. If he said who he was, I would have told him my taxi hit an elderly woman on the way.
She takes an unsteady breath, thinking of the terror on the woman's face before the vehicle struck.
Cheng Gi
Cheng watches from a small window, His brow creased. "She's going to run."
Min Ji
Clears his throat, wondering what kind of idiot this girl was. She's not saying anything at all, just stating into space like an airhead.
Mamie
A sly look appears on her face, deciding to turn his bad behavior back onto him.
"Not too long. Thank you for allowing me to get settled. You're too kind."
She stifles a smile at the look of annoyance on his face.
Mamie
There you bugger, you may have made me wait, but I used it to my advantage, she thought.
Cheng Gi
Cheng sniggers. So the rabbit has teeth. This should be interesting.
Min Ji
Min Ji's eyes narrowed as he stared at her until Mamie squirmed. "It was rather thoughtful of me considering..."
Mamie
Mamie interrupted, not caring any longer if she got the job. This snake wasn't going to slither out of this one so easily.
"Yes, if you bothered to introduce yourself, we could have skipped the games. I would have told you my taxi was in an accident. I plan everything meticulously, but even I don't have a crystal ball!"
Cheng Gi
Cheng's mouth fell open. No other woman, let alone a job applicant ever dared raise their eyes, let alone their voice to his boss.
Cheng cringed, waiting to hear the words he'd heard so many times before. "You're fired!"
Min Ji
I see, and what did you plan so diligently for before this unfortunate mishap. His gaze caught hers in a daring struggle.
Mamie
Mamie paused, scrambling to organize a well crafted answer. Well, to impress you, of course! Your firm is renowned for taking on new talent like myself and helping them to achieve their dreams." Mamie flushed, embarrassed, realizing she was laying it on a bit thick.
Cheng Gi
Cheng watched as Mamie crushed a smile that threatened to form on her lips. Oh ho, this one is a fox!
Ann
Ann pushed on Cheng's back. What are you doing eavesdropping on this interview? Weren't you supposed to bring Mr. Ji some onboarding paperwork?
Cheng Gi
Ha, I haven't needed any before.
Ann
Are you really that much of an imbecile? Go get the papers, I will cover for you.
Cheng Gi
Cheng looks unconvinced, but goes anyhow.
Min Ji
He thinks for a bit, then decides. Thank you for coming in, HR will let you know the rest of the details.
Mamie
Mamies shoulders folded inward, upset her mouth had gotten the better of her. She stood, bowed respectfully, and left.
There's no way she would be hired by him now.

This book gave me a much-needed escape from reality.
