Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

After Tori finished speaking, she brought up the first question in the book. Josephine pondered for a few seconds before she answered based on the information in the book and her own comprehension of the situation.

Tori frowned slightly after listening to the answer. She did not expect Josephine to answer her questions correctly.

In fact, she could barely believe that Josephine had such a deep understanding of the learned knowledge in the book. She pressed on with the second question.

Once again, Josephine provided a satisfactory answer. Tori glanced at the questionnaire in her hand. Half of the questions were questions based on textbook knowledge. It would seem that she could no longer rely on the questions she had prepared in advance. She had to cup with harder questions instead. Therefore, she began to start asking the questions at the bottom of her list. “Josephine, what qualities should a journalist possess?” Josephine considered the question for a moment. It was an extremely broad question, so it was impossible to provide a comprehensive answer in just a few words. “In my opinion, a journalist should possess the following qualities-first, they should uphold proper decorum and a firm stance in any situation. Second, they should report the situation truthfully and comprehensively without any falsehoods. Third, they should have a good understanding of the overall situation and maintain a sense of responsibility. By modeling the correct example themselves, they can-" “Stop!” Tori immediately interrupted Josephine mid-sentence and sneered, “Do you only know how to answer with cursory knowledge gained from books? Don’t you have your own opinions regarding the matter? Josephine, you can’t beca broadcaster simply by relying on rote memorization.” Josephine fell silent. It was obvious that Tori was deliberately making things difficult for her. These were the correct and standard answers to the question that was asked, but Tori was intentionally asking for her personal opinion on the matter instead. “These are the qualities that | need to achieve, as well as my personal opinion regarding this matter,” she answered calmly.

“Josephine, it seems tothat your knowledge is too s w. Why don’t you train for another two years in the press department before trying again in the future?” Tori"Ptshed the questionnaire to the side. The tone of her voice gave off the sense that the interview had ended.

“Miss Alford, | know that I did not perform well enough for your standards. Nevertheless, | hope | can be given the chance to prove myself at the job,” Josephine commented.

“If 1 allow you to pass so easily, it will be my fault if you somehow damage the image of the company’s broadcasters and destroy the company’s reputation. So, | will be firm in my role as the interviewer. Josephine, | do not believe you qualify to beca broadcaster.” Josephine took a deep breath and pleaded, “Miss Alford, it is only natural to make mistakes. If | remember correctly, you yourself often made mistakes when you were just a newcomer. Everybody goes through a process of maturation, so please don’t make things difficult for me.” Tori’s expression darkened at those words. “Josephine, are you trying to compare yourself to me?” “That was not my intention. | am simply asking that you givea chance to prove myself on the job. | am certain I will perform well,” Josephine explained patiently.

“I know you want to take over Miss Ain’s position! You are trying to replace her! You wouldn't even have this opportunity if Miss Ain had not fallen sick in the first place! Are you so impatient to replace her? Should | warn Miss Ain about you?” Tori deliberately threatened. When Josephine heard that, her expression also turned grim. ‘I do not harbor such thoughts.” “| bet you do. You're relying on your status as Mr. Quarles’ girlfriend to squeeze your way into the broadcasting industry. You're just trying to snatch the limelight all for yourself! What an ambitious woman you are!” Tori continued harshly.

Josephine was starting to feel very speechless about the situation. Tori had always been looking for any opportunity to scold and criticize her, so the interview was just another means to humiliate her.

All of a sudden, she no longer wanted to continue with the interview. Standing up from the couch, she bluntly declared, “Miss Alford, | am a busy person. | don’t have the tto listen to your insults.” After saying that, Josephine spun around to leave without another word. Tori made a cold and sneering remark from behind. “If you're going to act in such a manner, then | won't be able to sign your interview form.” Josephine looked back and responded in a domineering manner, “I don’t need your signature.” Then, she left the office and slammed the door behind her. Tori couldn't help but bite her lip angrily. What did Josephine mean? But, she indeed has the strength to pull off such a feat...

Picking up her phone, she dialed Atticus’ number. “Hello? Mr. Kowalski, I've interviewed Josephine. | don’t think she is suitable to beca broadcaster.” “Tori, didn’t | tell you to interview her just for appearances’ sake?! Why are you being so serious about this matter?” Atticus asked from the other end of the line.
