Living With A Narcissistic Brother In-law Chapter 22

''I see. Everyone look at the screen at your right'' William said and everyone turned to their right and the screen lit up showing a necklace, ''this necklace is still under development but we don't have a name for it. I want you all to take the piece of paper in front of you and write a perfect name for it and tell us why you chose that name. I will give you five minutes to get to it. Amy, hand them the papers''
Amy, the secretary nodded and went forward to put a piece of paper and a pen on each table for them.
Immediately, everyone became busy with studying the necklace and pointing down a few notes.
Natalie Jun placed her pen down and looked at the necklace keenly. Even though she didn't also study fashion in the University, she still learnt a lot about jewellery before coming for the interview.
A few minutes later, William signalled Amy to take papers from them. Amy went forward and took the papers from each candidate and handed them over to William, who distributed them to the other three interviewers in the room.
The interviews looked at the papers keenly with interest nodding their heads seemingly happy with their answers.
Jason who was in possession of Dindin's paper looked up at her and asked, ''Miss Adams, you named the necklace, 'first love', tell us your reason''
''I gave the name first love after carefully studying the necklace. When you first look at the necklace from a distance, one is tempted to think that it is just another piece of ornament. But, actually, this necklace has a love shaped endings which gives off the feeling of love. Coupled with its old-fashioned look, this necklace may seem simple to the eye but after wearing it, one will find out that it fits perfectly with the skin. Just like first love, it gives off the illusion of ever-lasting fondness that creates a nostalgic feeling to whoever that is wearing it''
Jason smiled, ''that is a really lovely reason behind it''
William looked at the paper in his hands and looked at Anita, ''Anita, you named the necklace 'Priceless'. Tell us your reason''
''The necklace is made from pure ore and takes 55 days to fully stabilise. During these 55 days, it must not be disturbed or its quality will drop. Hence, the time and energy used in creating this necklace is priceless''

''You really know a lot about jewellery. Lucy, I am curious about your answer though. Unlike the first two, you seem to have a unique name for the necklace, why did you name the necklace 'Attention'?
''This might be because I know nothing about jewellery but, after looking at the jewellery one can tell it is made from the finest and purest part of a purple jade. When you wear it, it doesn't really call out to people immediately but, one cannot help but want to look at it again. So, I name it 'Attention' because when you look at it, you can't help but be drawn to its unique features''
Lucy said and the interviewers nodded their heads. Natalie Jun looked at her and smiled also nodding her head.
''You always manage to surprise me, Miss Lawson. For someone who did Biological Sciences, you're smart and attentive to recognise features of products'' William said and turned to Jason, ''you have the last paper, right?''
Jason looked at Natalie Jun, ''Shadowed beauty' Miss Jun, your name is quiet catchy. Why did you pick such a name?''
Dindin furrowed her brows and frowned when she heard the name. She turned to Natalie Jun and glared at her.
Natalie Jun smiled and replied, ''just like the shadow, the necklace blends with the skin perfectly when worn. Is almost like an image cast over the skin and illuminates the skin. It brightens the skin and allows the owner to feel like she is almost different from others. Shadowed objects are like that, a dark figure or image intercepts with the real object. It is faint yet bold, giving a subtle intimating force. Is like a semblance that has a mind of its own. Wearing it makes the owner feel a sense of security and pride yet be so lithely that it doesn't put pressure on whoever that is wearing it.
Natalie Jun finished and the room turned silent as everyone looked at her. It was like a brief moment of bewitchment as everyone felt sucked into the kind of world she envisioned as she described the necklace.
William was the first to give a faint chuckle before asking Natalie Jun, ''you studied graphic designs at B University?''
''Yes, sir''
William nodded his head and ended the interview, ''thank you all for your time and contribution today. You will hear from us soon''

Amy smiled and went to open the door for them to leave. She closed the door and turned to look at the others.
…..
Natalie Jun hanged her bag and prepared to leave when Lucy hurried to her side, ''I really liked your presentation''
''You did well too, I learnt a lot from your presentation''
''I couldn't have done it without you. Because you told me to be confident, I found my courage and was able to do it'' Lucy looked at the entrance that they had walked to while chatting and asked, ''which way are you going? I have my car over there''
''I brought a taxi''
''Let me know you a ride. I want to know more about the presentation that you gave''
''That was nothing'' Natalie Jun said and they heard a voice behind them.
''I almost didn't recognise you, Natalie Jun'' Dindin Adams and Anita walked over to them.
Natalie Jun frowned and asked indifferently, ''excuse me, but do I know you?''
''You don't know me? You don't remember me?'' She asked surprised as she looked at Natalie Jun.
'Do you have to know or remember you?'' Natalie Jun asked, even though she remembered her very well.
Dindin chuckled and tussled her hair, ''I am Mimi's best friend. We met at the department store a few months back. You were there with your… late husband'' Dindin said mockingly and Anita and Lucy looked at Natalie Jun.
''I see'' Natalie Jun smiled, masking her emotions very well. She wasn't going to allow someone unworthy as Dindin to disturb her peace.
''You guys quickly hit it off? I didn't think you would be attending interviews already? Did your mother in law sack you from the house now that your rich husband has passed away?''
''You must have a lot of time in your hands, but, I don't. Let's go, Lucy'' Natalie Jun turned to go and Dindin intentionally spoke loudly making the people at the entrance to look at Natalie Jun.
''You were acting so proud the last time we met because you had the support of your husband. Life is so unpredictable. Who would have thought that he will die so soon and leave you?''
''You are crossing the line here, whatever your name is. Can't you see that there are a lot of people here?'' Lucy stepped in. she didn't know what was going on between them but she just couldn't stand and watch Dindin embarrass Natalie Jun.
Dindin smirked, ''is precisely the reason why I want everyone to know the kind of person she is''
Natalie Jun chuckled and asked as her gaze turned cold, ''what kind of person am I then?"
''You depended on your husband to get famous. I'm surprised no one recognised you or is it because your husband is now dead, you dare not act arrogant in front of everyone''
''This is the second time we've met and you already know the kind of person I am? Miss Adams, are you by chance referring to yourself? By telling these people I don't know and will probably never see again who you think I am. Aren't you afraid you are rather exposing just how ignorant you are to them? Before you throw stones at anyone the next time, maybe you should look at yourself first' Natalie Jun pointed at the entrance glass wall and Dindin looked over, seeing herself.
Dindin turned and saw Natalie Jun walking away and she stamped her foot on the ground and asked the people around angrily, ''what are you looking at?'' she walked away leaving Anita alone.
''Wait for me'' Anita said, running after her.
Lucy started her car and turned to look at Natalie Jun, ''are you alright? that girl was really being harsh in there''
''I'm not bothered by her'' Natalie Jun replied.
''Where do you stay, I will drop you off first'' Lucy said and started the car, ''I still want to know more about the name that you gave''
''Is that the only thing you are curious about? Are you not going to ask me about what she said in there?''
''I'm really good at not pressuring people. She said all those things to hurt you. We just met, I can't be asking you about your life or what you've been up to. It will be rude of me, let's go''
