Nick arrived in Horua's room and saw that it was time to change Horua's clothing again.
By now, Nick had taken care of Horua for over two weeks, and he had gotten pretty good at it.
Over the past two weeks, Nick had searched for someone who could join as another Zephyx Extractor.
This time, Nick was very careful when it came to choosing someone.
After all, he didn't want to make the same mistake again.
Nick had painfully learned why all the Zephyx Manufacturers had such stringent and difficult tests before anyone could join as a Zephyx Extractor.
Just because Nick could interact with a Specter didn't mean that everyone could.
In fact, interacting with a Specter was one of the scariest things in existence.
Humans instinctually felt that the thing in front of them preyed on them.
After the incident with Horua, Nick decided to use the entrance exam he had undertaken in Ghosty's Lab as a guide for creating his own exams.
Except, Nick didn't have all the facilities for the tests.
So, the next best thing was to just hold an interview with someone while trying to gauge their abilities in a conversation.
Nick had interviewed over 20 people from the Dregs by now, but he hadn't been happy with any of them.
There always was some kind of problem.
Sometimes, Nick felt like they were lying to him, and Nick didn't like liars.
Sometimes, Nick felt like what the people were saying sounded unrealistic.
For example, someone once said that they would simply beat up a Specter if they ever saw one.
Luckily, Nick didn't find any of these problems with Jenny.
Jenny was very honest and easy to work with, but when she talked about someone she didn't like, she seemed very cold and distant.
The best thing was that she didn't show any fear, but Nick also didn't feel like she was simply putting on a front.
In a sense, Nick felt like Jenny had no fight-or-flight instinct but just a fight instinct.
Even more, Jenny had honestly said that she ran away from the Riker Strikers without any shame.
She was confident in her choice.
"Hey, Horua," Nick said with a smile as he grabbed a freshly cleaned pair of pajamas. "I finally found someone for the position."
Horua didn't answer.
"Her name is Jenny, and she seems to have quite a character."
Nick told Horua about Jenny while he cleaned up Horua's mess and changed his clothing.
When he was done, he also gave Horua a quick massage.
"Anyway, I told her it would only be 15 minutes, and I've been here for nearly 20. Sorry, Horua, but I gotta go. See you later!" Nick said.
After quietly closing the door, Nick left the hotel.
Jenny was waiting in front of the hotel, and when she saw that Nick had come out, she released a sigh of relief.
Apparently, she had been worried that Nick had stood her up.
"Sorry, took a bit longer than expected," Nick said with a helpless smile.
"Oh, it's fine," Jenny said with a polite smile.
"Anyway, let me show you where you will be working."
When Jenny saw that Nick simply entered the warehouse on the other side of the street, she became quite shocked.
Who held an interview in front of their company's building?!
But when Jenny saw the sturdy walls of the Containment Unit, she realized that this was not just a simple warehouse.
Compared to the walls of the warehouse, the walls of the Containment Unit had an incredible feeling of power to them.
Even more, there were many cables and contraptions scattered around the Containment Unit.
After two weeks, the company had also slightly redecorated its interior.
By now, there were a couple of pieces of art made of metal strewn around, and there were also far more desks and chairs.
On top of that, things had been cleaned up, and a couple of walls made of thin metal separated parts of the warehouse into a couple of rooms.
Basically all of this had been done by Pator at Wyntor's request.
Nick led Jenny to the door of one of the isolated rooms and loudly knocked on it. "Hey, Wyntor! I got someone!"
"Come in!" Wyntor shouted from behind the door.
Jenny looked nervously at the door.
Nick opened the door and led Jenny in.
The inside of Wyntor's office looked different from the rest of the company.
For example, his chair and desk looked much better than all the other ones, and he also had a huge bookshelf with many different books on it.
Almost all of the books were about Specters.
When Wyntor saw Jenny, a small gleam appeared in his eyes, and he stood up.
"Welcome," Wyntor said with a smile. "My name is Wyntor Melfion, and I am the president and CEO of Dark Dream."
Jenny blinked a couple of times. "Dark Dream?"
"Hasn't Nick told you about the name of our company?" Wyntor asked with a smile.
"No, I didn't," Nick said. "The NDA thing, you know?"
Wyntor just chuckled politely. "Of course."
Then, Wyntor turned to Jenny again. "So, you will be joining Dark Dream as a new Zephyx Extractor, right?"
"Y-yes, sir," Jenny said with nervousness.
For some reason, Wyntor felt much more imposing and powerful than Nick to her.
"Perfect!" Wyntor said before pointing at a chair. "Please, sit down. I want to ask you a couple of things and tell you a bit more about Dark Dream."
While Jenny sat down, Nick walked out of the door. "I'll get to work then. Tell Pator to take care of Horua."
"Of course," Wyntor said.
"Thanks," Nick said. "Should I leave the door open or closed?"
"Close it," Wyntor said.
Nick nodded and closed the door.
While Nick walked over to the Dreamer's Containment Unit, Wyntor looked at Jenny with a friendly smile.
For several minutes, Wyntor asked Jenny questions, and the more he heard about her, the more fitting she seemed to be for Dark Dream.
'Nick actually got a good one this time,' Wyntor thought.
While Nick was sleeping in the Containment Unit, Wyntor took out several sheets of paper for Jenny to sign.
After signing all of them, Wyntor smiled again.
"Thank you, and welcome to Dark Dream!"
