Daddy, don't flirt

Chapter 18 Interview for C&R designer

Ian feels so non-sensed when he sees his mother giggles over his superman underwear.

“It’s natural and legal that I watch the privacy of my own son, who can say anything about this.” Jamie put away the underwear. Smiling treacherously, Jamie keeps thinking that she has to find a way to let Ian to put this on after he showers tonight.

Ian trembles a bit for knowing that his mother is up to no good.

Just when Ian is thinking, the doorbell rings.

“ Go to see who is at the outside before you open the door, and don’t open for strangers, okay?” Ian has already come to the door, standing on the shoes-case and looking through the peephole when Jamie is saying.

It’s a woman who stands outside, shoulder-long hair makes her looked neat, health skin with her height, she turns the stiff and black suit into fashion style. Ian remembers that she is Mommy best friend, Wendy.

Ian opens the door.

Wendy though is was Jamie who opened the door, so she wanted to hug Jamie, but gets empty. Then she looks down, seeing Ian wear that cute apron, with his hands still on the lock. Those big eyes splashes, watching her still.

“ Ah! Ian. Long time no see, you are still cute.” Wendy hugs Ian, and rubs against Ian check with her face.

Wendy is the first friend Jamie has met after Jamie went out the country, first one and also the best one. Maybe because they both come from Leeds, Wendy has taken a lot care of Jamie when they were in Spain.

Five years ago, after got thrown into the rain with heavy injuries, Jamie would have died if Chris didn’t save her.

Chris is Jamie friend from childhood, the young master of the Lockwood’s family. Because Jamie has saved Chris when he was drown, thus, they becomes good friend. And Chris is the only one,beside Jamie’s mother, who knows Jamie real gender before Jamie’s 18 years old.

When Jamie was threatened by Dan, Chris was the only one Jamie can think of to borrow money.

That day Chris just went back to Leeds, and he heard that Jamie had come back to the Moore’s family, so he wanted to visit her.

Who knows that Chris happened to find Jamie with injuries in the heavy rain. After rescuing Jamie, Chris brought Jamie out of the country with Jamie’s agreement.

Thus, Jamie gave birth the baby, which is why now she has such lovely little Ian stays with her. So glad that Jamie feels so lucky that she didn’t do the abortion.

Jamie hugs Ian over from Wendy’s arms, touching his head, says,” baby Ian, go to cook. Mommy has some catching up to do your aunt Wendy.”

Ian nods and goes back to the kitchen.

Hearing what Jamie said, Wendy can’t help to complains,” Jamie, how can you let such a little child to cook, you are basically extorting child.”

“ My own son is willing to cook for me, if you envy, you can give birth a child if you can.” Jamie says in gloating.

Wendy looks at Jamie’s figure, says depressing, “Fine! You are the one with child, I can’t catch up that now.”

Ian has cooked fours cuisines and one soup, all in family style, but all of them smells nice and delicious.

Serving the dishes on the table, Ian just wants to tell Jamie and Wendy that dinner is ready. Before he can say anything, they have rush to the table and sit down. Ian has nothing to say about this, but puts out a chair and sits next to Jamie.

“Wow, Jamie. Can you lend me Ian for couples days? It’s been a long time for me to not have a nice and proper dinner.”Wendy says in desperately. So desperate that she wants to take Ian home with her.

“ Eating can’t stop your mouth talking! I warn you, Ian is my everything, so even think about taking him away from me. If you want, you can give birth a baby then.” Jamie makes joy on Wendy, for she knows clearly that Wendy won’t get married before 25 years old.

The next day

Standing in front of the C&R building. Jamie looks at this building, the C&R letters are so obvious. Looking from the bottom, makes Jamie a bit dizzy.

Jamie holds the address the Wendy gave her, the note gets a bit wrinkle for Jamie squeezes it in nerves.

After taking a deep breathe, Jamie clams herself down, looking confidently.

She was the top designer in F&S company when she was in Spain. Interviewing a regular position for designer should be a piece of cake for her. Jamie thinks. With the thought of this, Jamie walks inside to the building.

Jamie walks to the front desk, says politely,” Hello, I’m Jamie. And I made an appointment yesterday for interviewing.”

“ The director has told us about this, please follow me, Miss Moore.” The lady in the front desk smiles, leading way for Jamie.

The lady knocks the door of the director’s office. After she gets the response, then she says to Jamie,” Director is inside, please.”

Jamie unconsciously bites her lower lip, pushing the doors slowly. The office is cold, making Jamie chilled. It’s still spring now, too early for air conditioner. Maybe it’s some kind of the test, Jamie thinks.

“ Hi, I was the person who...” Jamie says in nice and polite manner. But before she can finish her self- introduction, the chair against her suddenly turns around, interrupting her talk.

“ Miss Jamie, right?’ says the director sitting on the chair. Wearing a pair of glasses, supporting his chin by hands stand on the desk straightly, which made him seem gently. “ I have read your resume, you used to be a designer for F&S company?” He asks.

Jamie nods with her browns slightly frowning, answers,” Yes, I have been a designer for F&S for two years.”

“I want to know why you will chose our company, instead of the F&S.” The voice of the director doesn’t match his gentle appearance, but cold and alienated.

“The reason is simply. F&S is in Spain, now I’m back to Leeds, naturally, I will need a job in Leeds. And C&R is famous in the fashion industry, so I come. It doesn’t like I choose to come here by quitting on F&S purposely.” Jamie answers with truth. This director is much more easier to be dealt with, comparing the peoples in F&S, Jamie thinks.

The director is a bit surprised. Usually, the interviewees will say a lots of praise toward C&S, long lasting for least 5 minuets. And she finished already?

“ Have you brought your works today?” The director asks casually, which is totally unnecessary. How can someone comes for interviewing the designer without her works.
