No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 131



I rolled up to the interview site at around eleven, finding the company in a suburban area, not quite the bustling city center, but a mere twenty-minute ride from my place. It wasn't a name I was unfamiliar with. They were into lighting development and had thrown their hat into the ring for a theme park lighting gig but didn't land it. I even considered hitting them up for a troubleshooting job when the park's lights went haywire.

Those encounters put this company on my radar, and as luck would have it, they were hiring for a marketing and promotions role that seemed tailor- made for me. They were the first one I applied to, sure enough, the first to offer me a spot.

Their office was in a leased building, nowhere near the grandeur of the Wagner Group's towering headquarters. Yet, they weren't small-time, occupying three floors of office space. I found my way to the HR office without much trouble and was greeted immediately with a warm smile, "You must be Ms. Hudson here for the interview?"
