Does something interrupt?
A beeping comes from your purse
You suddenly hear a strangely familiar chime, you think its someone else’s but you gradually realise its coming from your purse and open it. Inside is a nice sleek smarphone that doesn't look like a model you know (but then all smartphones kinda look the same). Before you can even reach for a button, the chime stops and suddenly EDNA's loud voice comes through.
"Your job interview will start in 15 mins."
"What? No..." you try to shush the phone.
"The office is 100m away. Move to it now to ensure you will be arrive more than the recommended 10 mins before the job interview."
"Okay, I got it, thank you."
"You're welcome Jane," and it stopped.
"Wait, you're Jane?" Franks voice directed right at you now.
"I.... um... look I wasn't sure whether..."
"Haha, great coincidence. Excuse me lads... C'mon Jane, I'll take you to the office."
Before you can say much, he's got his hand over the small of your back and guiding you to the office.
Your high heels clack through down the pavement, the steps provide a challenge and you feel Frank hold you as he guides you up them, he opens the door for you which you accept, and with a nod to the receptionist he guides you to the elevator and takes you up 7 stories.
You're not sure what to do. Why not walk away? But Frank exudes a calmness and clarity of purpose that it feels that any other option would be huge uncertainty. Maybe you could just bomb the job interview and be done with it. Finally he takes you to his office, opens the door and guides you through.
