Chapter 9

Frankie leaned back in her chair. She hadn't gotten much of anything from the mousy woman named Sharee. She'd been quiet and extremely introverted. Her answers were short and mostly consisted of a simple yes or no. If Frankie wanted anything more from Sharee, she supposed she'd have to drag it out of her. After she'd run out of questions, she'd glanced over at Johanna, hoping her luck was better. They hadn't had a chance to compare notes because as soon as the two women left, two more were immediately waiting outside the door.

The next two offered her nothing but praise for Thatcher Longman and the company. She'd listened ad nauseam thinking that maybe Johanna had been right. This was a complete waste of time that would have been better spent pursuing other avenues. She watched as her fourth interviewee walked to the table and seated herself across from Frankie.

“I'm so excited to be interviewed,” the woman said.

Frankie's ears perked up. The woman's comment didn't match the expression on her face. Her lips were drawn taut into a straight thin line and her blue eyes blazed with contempt that Frankie sensed wasn't directed at her personally. Maybe this woman would spill the beans if there were any to spill. She was slim, attractive, and tall. Her glistening blonde hair was cut in a style that brought out her delicate features. It suited her.

“Thank you for agreeing to be interviewed. I'm Janel Watson. And you are?”

“I'm sorry. My supervisor has been on my back all morning. I'm Haley Jones.”

Frankie was relieved she'd clicked on a fresh pen just as Haley was reaching her table. “It's nice to meet you, Haley.”

“Most of the people around here are nice to work with—except for my supervisor.” She rolled her eyes. “I'll try to keep my emotions in check and only concentrate on the positive side of working here. Normally I would say this is the perfect career choice for me as would most in the other departments.” She drew a deep calming breath. “Okay. I'm ready for the questions.”

Frankie doubted that. Haley still looked pissed. Hopefully Frankie could use that to her advantage. “What department do you work in?”

“Finance.”

Frankie's insides quivered. She couldn't believe her good luck. She had to tread carefully. If she played her cards right, Haley might spill the beans on Becca. Frankie smiled at her noting the woman was dressed in professional business attire. Except for her obvious distress, she was the persona of business. “You're the first interviewee from the finance department.” She tapped her pen against her bottom lip. “Excluding your supervisor, how do you like working here otherwise?”

“It really is like one huge, happy family.” She frowned. “Excluding my supervisor. It was overwhelming when I first applied for a position here. I never dreamed the company was so large. I assumed there would be a few offices and business would mostly only involve the numerous hotels. I was shocked to see how many enterprises the Bronsons are involved in.
