Chapter 6 – The Interview
There are three people sitting behind a table. They all smile at me. They ask me to sit down.
‘I’m sorry I’m late,’ I say.
‘It doesn’t matter. We’re late, too.’ One of them looks up at the clock on the wall. ‘We’re expecting our chief engineer, but it’s getting late, so we’ve decided to start.’
I feel better, and I forget about my dirty suit. They ask me several questions, and I can answer them all easily.
‘Thank you for coming. We have one other person to interview, so we can’t give you our decision today.’
I thank them, and get up to go. Suddenly the door opens, and a woman rushes in. She nearly knocks me over.
‘I’m sorry,’ she says. Then she sees me. ‘Oh, it’s you!’ It’s the woman I found in the street who had an accident. She smiles and introduces herself.
‘I’m the chief engineer. I’m sorry I missed your interview, but my colleagues will tell me all about you. Thank you again for helping me.’
When I get outside, I’m shaking. All I want to do is to see David. I call him on the telephone, and we decide to meet at a café in York.
