Hannah knew that her behavior yesterday was uncalled for. She was an emotional wreck and didn't capture any of the important events during the launch event. She lowered her head and apologized to the senior editor, "I didn't mean to. Well, I'll accept any punishment you decide on."
Hannah was currently in charge of Fabian's interview. So if she got fired now, then all her previous efforts would be for naught. The senior editor sighed and spoke helplessly, "Alright. I'll give you another chance. You'll interview one of Sunshine city's top families, the Jackson family's only heir-Xavier Jackson."
"Xavier Jackson?" The name sounded awfully familiar to Hannah. She thought long and hard, trying to put a face to that name. Eventually, a man's face surfaced in her mind.
Once Hannah figured it out, her jaw dropped. She couldn't utter a single word as waves of questions crashed in her mind.
That frivolous man? No, It can't be that coincidental. Hannah's brows scrunched tautly. What if he intentionally requested for me to do the interview? No, that can't be since we have only met briefly. Unless... this was what fate wanted?
The senior editor's eyebrows raised at Hannah's wide-mouthed expression.
Then, he questioned loudly, "What are you gawking at, Hannah? Do you not want the task? Don't assume you're all that just because you did Fabian's interview. I'll sack you if you mess this up again.”
Hannah didn't dare to reject the senior editor's request after hearing his threat. Hannah nodded without hesitation and said, "You can count on
me. I'll do my very best in this interview."
At this, the senior editor's features loosened from its initial frown. He spoke in a friendlier tone, "Good, consider that as redemption for your previous hiccup. I also heard that Mr. Jackson is fairly easy to get along with, so this interview cannot fail under any circumstances. I'll have someone send you his details in a bit. Please read through it thoroughly, then get on with the interview immediately. The early bird gets the worm, after all."
Relief washed over Hannah. It's just an interview, what's the big deal? She then returned to her office and scanned through Xavier's information before heading to his company.
"Do you have an appointment?" The receptionist asked coldly and shot a cautious look at the camera in Hannah's hands.
