After months of desperately looking for a job, you finally manage to get an interview. And not with anyone. With the founder of the biggest law firm in the country, no less. You are both very excited and very nervous. The name of the man sounds vaguely familiar, but he is a famous lawyer after all. It would make sense that you would have heard his name before.

The day of the interview, you wait for hours in the waiting room. You are starting to think that this is a bad joke when the secretary finally comes for you. She leads you through the opulent building, stops in front of an office and knocks. A voice booms from inside the office, instructing her to bring the last candidate in. That is you.

As the door opens and the secretary gestures you to enter, you feel a vague impression of déjà vu. The man who is sitting at his desk seems VERY familiar, your heart skips a beat when you realize he is Matthias, your university crush. You lived in the same town and saw him every morning. You had overcome your shyness to initiate conversation and break the ice. He was polite but ever so distant. When he finally had seemed to warm up to you, just a little bit, you said something stupid. And from that moment, he avoided you so effectively that you never saw him again. He looks at you coldly from his desk, while you are frozen in place. He gestures a chair in front of him.

"Come in. Take a seat."

Phew. He doesn't seem to recognize you. You never knew each other's last name anyway. So everything will be fine... won't it?
