Shaking her head, Hannah tried to forget the past event and focus on the present instead. Although she knew it was wrong to sleep during working hours, she secretly prayed that the assistant would forgive her this time and not report her to the senior editor. After all, it had been long since she was last caught.
Who knows what the assistant and Mr. Dijon will think of me if they could hear my inner thoughts?
Only after slapping her cheeks to wake herself up did she finally got up to head to the senior editor's office.
Facing the door, she muttered a silent prayer for herself before she summoned the courage to knock on the door.
"You really took your time to come here," the man in the room remarked sarcastically the moment Hannah entered.
He said it as though I have slept for a century.
Nervous, Hannah cautiously asked, "What's the matter? I heard that you were looking for me."
"Yes..."
He paused, then explained, "I told the higher-ups whatever you told me, and I just received a call from them. They have come to a conclusion."
Whatever I told you? What did I tell you?
Hannah dug through her memories before she suddenly exclaimed, "Are you referring to Xavier's interview?"
Bob was speechless to hear her response. Doesn't she know how important it is? If I knew that she didn't care, I wouldn't have been so anxious over it either.
"Of course," he snorted.
Anticipating his reply, Hannah chirped, "Okay, so?"
"Nothing much," he retorted before he sighed helplessly.
"The higher-ups mentioned that Xavier has specially requested for you. Therefore, you will still be in charge of his interview.
"Oh..."
