At 10:00 AM the next morning, the head of HR informed Evelyn that a high-profile candidate had arrived for the General Manager interview. Evelyn had already vetted dozens of applicants, rejecting 98% of them for lacking the grit required to handle the work and situation.
"Send her in," Evelyn said, closing a financial ledger.
The door opened, and Emilia Becker walked in dressed in a sharp professional coat, but with an underlying charm that felt calculated to disarm.
"Hello. I'm here for the General Manager position,"
She said, her voice smooth and polite.
"Please, sit," Evelyn replied, her eyes sweeping over Emilia's resume.
"You were a Vice President on Wall Street. Why give that up for a branch in Munich?"
"Private reasons," Emilia responded with a cryptic smile.
"Sometimes, one needs a change of scenery to find what's truly valuable."
