Jack POV
The first thing I noticed was the photograph. Five resumes lay across my desk.
Four were forgettable. The fifth wasn't.
I picked it up.
A familiar face smiled back at me. I stared at the picture for a moment.
Then I remembered.
The woman from the hotel, from the restaurant, and ....
The woman Mr. Parker had noticed.
That's interesting.
I read her resume from top to bottom. Excellent qualifications.Clean work history. Strong references.
No obvious weaknesses.
I added her name to the short list.
Not because Mr. Parker had noticed her. Because she was qualified. That distinction mattered.
I gathered the files and walked into the executive office.
"Five candidates," I said.
"This afternoon."
Ryan didn't look up from his laptop.
"One-on-one?"
"Group interview first."
