The job interview

Emily's point of view:

I don't remember for how long I was standing here, but no one can blame me. After all, I'm standing in front of the 'La source de beauté' agency. No way you can't have an idea about what I am talking about!

Of course, you would know about the one and only -La source de beauté.

It is indeed one of the most famous international modeling agencies, also known as the number one most influential modeling agency around the world. Not to mention the fact that the agency itself was praised on more than one occasion by different sorts of online fashion magazines, model communities, and reviewers. Meaning, it's everyone's dream agency.

With over 70 years of experience in the industry, they were able to create models such as Jenny Brown, Tina Blank, and Cindy Hwang.

Just the fact of standing outside such an agency is actually more than an honor. Yet, I'm here not only to stand outside - I'm here for more.

I pushed myself from outside the agency to the inside, knowing exactly what I was here for. The moment I entered the agency, a gorgeous blond lady rushed to my way.

Of course, she was extremely beautiful, the exact thing you would expect from everyone here. Lost in her sight of beauty, I was till she spoke.

" Excuse me, miss ... If you never notice, it's a workplace here." She says while flipping her hair. "It's not a museum, nor a park for you to wander around. So, might I wonder what you are doing here?"

The rudeness in her voice got me out of my fantasy, and I wanted to show her who I really am. I ended up doing the obvious thing, which was to fake a smile and act dumb.

" I'm here because I have a job interview for a personal assistant job," I said while trying to fake cuteness through my voice. Yet, I started laughing, which played on my nerves. What she said after did not make things better for me, especially that I have to keep calm to not lose this only opportunity I'm having.

" You? Mr. Knight's personal assistant! Good luck with that." She gave me a look that shows exactly what she was taking for a joke.

Now! I was done with being polite to her. I don't care if I ruin things as long as I get to show her what I am made of.

The moment I was ready to eat her alive, I felt a warm hand grabbing me away and leading me to I don't know where. I turned to face Daniel. Seriously! Couldn't he wait until I'm done with her?

He - with one of his breath-taking smiles, spoke to the girl who was making fun of me.

" Thank you, Cassandra, I'll take her from here." 

" But!" ... "Mr. Knight!" ... "She's here for..." Before she was able to form her sentence, Daniel responded to her.

" I know! Just leave her to me." 

It was then the right time for me to answer her previous statement, and as it's known - not all the answers can be made from words. The exact reason why I turn to give her one of my most lovely nasty smiles ever. The look on her face made my day after that she ruined it before.

I kept on Following Daniel until we reached the elevator as we got inside - Daniel decided on speaking to me for the first time since we met.

" The hell is wrong with you?"

His question got me so lost that I didn't even know what to say after. Though I should be the one answering, he was the one answering the question he asked.

" I spent two years of money on you. I made you look like a human, unlike what you were. I even bought your apartment and changed your background so that you'll be able to pass through this door. And now that it's time for you to pay back, I would hate to see you ruin all my efforts. After all, my favors are not for free at all. Don't expect me to be so gentle when I'm not collecting the payment, and you know that better than anyone."

He wasn't making any eye contact with me while threatening me, yet I was feeling the much hatred he was holding toward me. I didn't know what I'd done wrong to make him that mad, still; I was feeling pain growing inside of me.

He doesn't feel the same way I feel toward him, and he will never. It is my fault, not his, he never promised me any sort of feelings. All that was between us was work, and when I was done - he wouldn't probably remember my name. I fixed a dull look on my face, throwing all the feelings away before I answered him.

" Don't worry! I won't mess things up." I told him with a steady voice, not showing him weakness. He always hated weakness, and I don't want to be weak anymore - Never!

"I should worry!" Though he wasn't screaming, his voice was firm which brought fear inside of me. After all, I know what he's made of. " You were about to get kicked before you even got the job. Picking fights isn't what you're here for..."

" But she was..." Before I was able to defend myself, he snapped at me.

" I don't care about what she has done or was about to do, all I care about is what you're here for." After he was done speaking, I only nodded my head, not being able to add anything else since I know that everything I would say would only get him mad.

" The interview would mean nothing. I've already arranged for you to be accepted. All you have to do is to make sure not to get kicked out. This will be our last and only interaction together here. Make sure you don't get yourself into trouble..." 

This was all he said before the elevator's door was opened.
