After Tad had left for school, Jen washed the dishes he had put in the sink before going upstairs to get ready for her job interview with Tachibana Enterprises at 10 AM that morning. While the interview was a few hours away, Jen wanted to get ready and arrive before the scheduled time in the hopes that Tachibana no Akane, the corporation’s head, would see how much this opportunity meant to her.
Jen walked through her room and into her bathroom to take a shower and make herself look presentable. When she got out of the shower a few minutes later, Jen dried herself off before putting her bathrobe on and doing her hair.
After finishing in the bathroom, Jen went back into her bedroom and opened the closet, pulling out the clothes that she had picked out the previous afternoon. As she got herself dressed, Jen remembered what Mrs. no Akane had told her during her first interview: the role of Tachibana no Akane’s personal secretary was one that was traditionally filled by Werefox. The fact that Mrs. no Akane had progressed Jen to the next stage of interviews, let alone allowed her to apply for the position in the first place, was a privilege that few Weres had received.
“You’ve got this Jen,” the Werecat said to herself in the mirror as she finished getting dressed. “You’re going to show them that you’re the best person for the job. You’re not doing this for yourself. You’re doing it for Tad and Claire. With this job, you’ll be able to put Tad through college and provide for your future with Claire. You are the person best suited for this job.”
As she backed away from the mirror and fully admired herself, a smile crossed Jen’s face. She felt confident that she could get this job. And if things went well, she was going to treat her future wife good tonight.
