Chapter 4 - The Capitalists, The Job Interview And The Offer
Candice stood before a long business table. She was surrounded by glass walls, except one, which had a chalkboard on it. In front of that chalkboard was a casually dressed man.
"Welcome," a short man said with a big smile and his hand out.
"Hey...," responded Candice as she shook his hand. "You are not one of them..." She turned to look at Vince, who was sitting in the corner.
"Do you even know what them are?" the man asked.
"Robots...?"
"Yeah, kind of. They are all dead inside and nothing but 1s and 0s. But their skin, their eyes... all their body parts are organic. They are all grown in a lab."
"That's disgusting," she replied.
"Why... It's just skin and bones. Oh the bones are made with a special material. Company secret."
"And you.."
"I'm Trevor." he replied.
"You are pretty calm for a guy who is being forced to work for this company."
"Who says I'm being forced. I applied for this job online."
"What! I was thrown in a trunk and tied to a chair."
"Well the interview was pretty rough if that makes you feel better," he joked.
"You can't work for these people... Who are these people?"
"I really don't know... I only met Patrick, that man you met before me. He seemed nice."
"You don't even know who you work for?"
"You had a job before you ran your own business right? he asked.
"Yeah."
"Did you know who really ran the company you worked for, or how things operated at a higher level."
"I'm sure they didn't invlove kidnapping." she siad
"You would be suprised of the history of some the big corporations... sure this company is a little more... aggresive, but it's business. And you are not hurt."
"What about Sarah?" she asked.
"I don't know anything about her, I'm sure she is fine, but back to you and me. My job is to get you up and running. You were hand picked for this opportunity..."
"Opportunity?!?"
"Yes, because you are what the company is looking for to expand, an intelligent female who can deliver results."
"Why a female?" she asked.
"I don't know why they need what, I just make sure the who is ready when they are needed and where."
"You really don't ask a lot of questions?"
"It's better that way. Now, let use begin with how to deal with the competition... please have a seat."
Candice sat down in one of the chairs. Trevor turned the televison on and played one of their company videos.
