Heartbeat Detector Page #3

A pianist.

A melancholic woman.

But I'm not sad!

Mr. Jst isn't sad by nature.

Just now and then.

It's no big deal.

Mr. Tessier?

-Hello.

-Hello, come in.

-Hello, Mr. Tavera.

-Hello.

Please, come in.

All right.

We can talk for an hour

or longer if you wish.

I think an hour and a half

would be good.

All right.

Today's meeting has a dual purpose:

to get to know each other.

We'll focus less

on your work experience

and more on you as a person.

Your likings, aspirations,

and desires.

When we've finished,

if you've any questions

about our company,

feel free to ask them.

I certainly will.

How would you like me to begin?

It's very simple.

If you had some close friends here,

who'd studied with you,

how would they describe you?

That's a surprising question.

My mother would say I was studious.

She made me join

a class for gifted children.

My girlfriend would say it didn't

prepare me for the real world.

What do you mean by that?

I can't cook.

Touching food makes me nauseous.

Have you tried to overcome it for her?

What does she do?

We're not married.

We don't even live together.

For now, I'm concentrating

on my career.

Excuse me.

Yes?

It's me.

Hello, Mr. Jst.

Yes, I'm researching

the Farb Quartet.

I have a few questions to ask.

I won't take up much of your time.

Fine.

Thank you.

You were talking

about your career.

Can you tell me why you've applied

for a job with us?

What do you expect

from the company?

There are more opportunities

for career advancement here.

You want to move up quickly?

Yes.

To be honest,

if I accept the job at Total,

I'd have a good profile

after a few years.

But I think that people

move up the ladder quicker here.

What makes you think that?

I asked around and read the trades.

This company

is a hi-tech industry leader,

so people get promoted quickly.

So your research has convinced you

that this is your best bet.

Yes, that's exactly

how I'd describe it.

How can I help you?

Since the restructuring,

I feel the staff need to bond,

to get together, have parties,

something that could even

involve families.

So, I'm looking into forming one

or more company orchestras

inspired by the quartet you formed.

Meaning?

play an instrument.

Most play piano,

but there are violinists,

percussionists, and guitarists.

I'd like to contact them

and ask if they'd like

to give some concerts.

Maybe you have some suggestions

for the repertoire?

How is your name spelled?

K-E-S-S-L-E-R,

Kessler.

You arrived here

after the Quartet broke up.

Who told you about it?

The senior executives

and Mr. Paolini, your cellist.

I've heard a lot

about your seminars.

It seems you get our executives
