"Ms. Daniv, your twelve o'clock is here." my secretary, Dana, announced.
"Thank you, Dana." I replied. "Send him in."
In walked a tall, thin man with a scruffy goat beard. He seemed vaguely familiar, but from where I had no idea. I decided it didn't matter, and to commence the interview.
"Hello, Mr. Drew. You are here for a job interview, yes?"
"Y-yes. " he stuttered.
"What are your qualifications?" I asked, already doubting his ability.
"I was an accountant before I came here."
Soon, I couldn't ignore the overwhelming sense of knowing the guy. I just had to ask. Becoming a successful business owner hadn't diminished my curiosity.
"Mr. Drew, do I know you from somewhere?" I asked.
"Yes, I know you, Lei. I'm Brent Drew. You know, from middle school." he said meekly.
What!? I couldn't believe this rather pathetic, weak-willed man was the one who had tortured me throughout my middle school year. He seemed so much...smaller in a way. How had so much changed?
"Okay. Let us continue." I said nonchalantly. It didn't matter that much.
"H-huh? Aren't you going to throw me out?" Brent whispered.
"Honestly, I haven't though about you in years. You're an insignificant part of my past. What you did doesn't affect me." I answered truthfully.
"O-oh."
I got the impression that he was slightly offended as he got quieter as the interview proceeded. I didn't end up hiring him. He was just so spineless. How could I let someone like that work in my company?
