The offer letter was only valid for a month, and it would take another two months for the babies to be born. After that, there was the post-pregnancy recovery period. I couldn't make it, so I dismissed the offer.
About three weeks had passed after that. I almost forgot about the letter, but then I received a phone call, claiming to be from Dawnie Law Firm's secretary.
"Miss Reid, I'm calling to confirm with you. Have you received our law firm's internship offer?" The woman's voice was polite and not sharp.
"Yes, I did." I nodded and took a sip of warm milk.
The secretary asked, "So have you found another choice, or are you unkeen to work with Dawnie Firm?"
I answered, "Neither of them. It's my personal reason. I'm pregnant and my delivery is soon, so I can't go there for my internship now. Thank you for your kindness."
I had investigated Dawnie Firm in private. It was not an exaggeration to say they were the top law firm in the city. It was a paradise that every person who passed the bar would love to work in. An internship experience at Dawnie Firm would look really good on a resume.
Although it was a bit of a pity, it didn't matter. Nothing was more important than the children being born safely.
The secretary suggested, "Oh, we have considered this. Since you are a very promising candidate who passed the bar exam in one try, the firm doesn't want to miss out on recruiting you. We can arrange an online interview for you. What do you think?"
Hmm? If that was the case, it would be difficult to not be tempted.
However, how could the dignified Dawnie Firm be so accommodating for new hires?
Although I had doubts, I thought there was no danger and agreed.
