Interview Quote by Opal Mellon
““It’s just a job interview after all.” She reached for a little day planner and flipped a few pages over. “Are you Sean?” “Yes.” “For eleven?” “Yes.” She marked something on the note pad and pressed a button on the phone next to her. A buzz sounded in some nearby room. “Not very talkative are you?” “Not usually.” He tried to look around to various doors for the source of the buzz. That would tell him where he was going, and Sean liked to know where he””
