Chapter five

— Hi, I’m Katherine Amarantt. I think I spoke to you on the phone a couple days ago. I came for the job interview.

I try to smile as friendly as possible and I hope I’m not looking crazy. It’s too early for me to be spontaneous.

- Oh, yes! Mr. Belmontt is on the twentieth floor, but it was not with me that you spoke, certainly with his secretary.

The girl returns my smile and puts her hair behind her ear. She is so beautiful that I got a twinge of envy, her red hair look beautiful in contrast to the sun, the freckles on her face make her a cute footprint, but the blue eyes give a more "sexy" and confident look. When I absorb what she said I get a fright, what do you mean "Mr. Belmontt"? Business owners don’t usually do that service.

- Mr Belmontt? -He owns the company, right? He’s going to interview me? Isn’t that the secretary I spoke to?!

I shoot several questions at once and feel the distress return. The woman just laughs at my despair, which makes me quite ashamed. Fuck, is it funny that someone almost freaking out over an interview?

— Yeah, he owns the company. Mr Belmontt likes to meet in person everyone who works at the company and make them feel welcomed.

What she tells me makes me even more nervous, the weight on my back becomes even heavier, I can’t look like an idiot in front of the CEO.

- Thanks for the help, see you soon.

I force a smile and walk towards the main elevator. I press the twentieth floor on the elevator buttons and to my distress, it stops on almost every floor. When it arrives at the last I have almost no personal space among so many well-dressed, white and money-smelling people. I practically run from the elevator and walk to another counter that should be where that desk should work.

When I’m in front of her, I open a smile without showing my teeth. I stop for a moment and analyze the woman, she has a beautiful smile and a fat body with wide hips, the cheeks are very red, the eyes are black as coal and the hair of the same color.

- Hi, I’m Katherine Amarantt, I’m here for the job interview.

I speak straight to the point before I run out of there and come home to cry in fetal position.

- Hello, he’s waiting for you. Pleasure, my name is Anastasia Pirez, I’m Mr. Belmontt’s secretary.

She reaches out to me and I gently squeeze. Her hand is so soft, but the grip is very firm.

- It’s a pleasure to meet you too. What’s his office?

I ask looking sideways behind some room that might be his. Anastasia points to the last door in the hallway and smiles when she notices my expression, the room is so isolated that I hardly see the door.

- He’s the reserved type, the quieter the better.

I nod and walk towards the room she sent, feeling my heart almost leaving the mouth of such distress. I stop in front of the wooden door and knock twice in a row.

My heart beats decompensated and I feel like fainting at any time, I have always been an anxious person, especially in adolescence, unfortunately I suffered in advance and it just hindered me and made me get stuck by fears without foundation.

I hear a "between" and my trembling hands go automatically to the door handle, the turn carefully and push forward, the great room begins to appear and I could see the decoration, the furniture has a very rustic footprint and the huge windows make a wonderful natural light come in.

I notice a man facing the windows, he does not seem to care whether or not there is a stranger in his room, since he does not even turn to look at me. I can see nothing more than his broad and seemingly muscular back, but that’s enough to intimidate me, his posture is imposing and incredibly straight, I feel embarrassed to be all crooked and lift my body. I approach the table and sit in the chair quite comfortable. The man slides with the chair forward and finally I could see his face.

His eyes are deep blue as the sea, transmit a mixture of danger with mistrust, as if he did not trust anyone.

His charcoal black hair is well maintained and seems to have been trimmed a few days, his beard makes him look even sexier, the jaw is well designed and incredible as it may seem, even the chin is attractive. He raises one of her eyebrows and deflects her gaze to the ground quickly, which embarrasses Kate, was caught analyzing her potential boss.
