Elia's POV:
Sex
Sex ruined my life. Not in the way your probably think though. I'm not pregnant. I don't have STD or crabs or anything that has to do with an infection down there.
I'm a virgin. So how the hell did sex ruin my life?
It's simple really.
It started on my ex-bestfriend's birthday. At the time we were like sisters. We were out at a club with a group of friends celebrating her birthday.
I didn't know it then, but my future boss's secretary was there as well.
A week later I went in for PA job interview with Malcolm Co.
6 months ago
Okay girl. You got this.
I looked at the other ladies around me. There were about a hundred I would say. Every single one I looked at had a super tight white button down shirt with a short pencil skirt. The first couple buttons were undone on just about every single shirt. I see way to much cleavage.
I feel out of place though. Despite the inappropriate way of wearing the clothes, everyone is in business clothes while I'm in jeans and a nice flannel.
I cant afford business clothes. I can't afford much.
My last boyfriend, who I ended it with a a few months ago, took all my stuff when we broke up. We had lived together for about 6 months but had been together for a year before we broke up.
I had lived off some savings I had for a while but now I'm stuck. I can't afford proper healthy meals. Most of the time I don't eat. I'll eat a peanut butter sandwich and that's it. Even at that though I eat one a day. I split it into thirds so I have 3 meals. Sometimes I don't even eat though. I've gone multiple days without eating. They're not consecutive but I go about 2 days a week without eating.
All my money goes into rent. It's fairly cheap rent but I live in a very crappy apartment.
Today that should change though. I know I don't look the part but I can be a great PA. I went to school for this kind of thing.
"Ms. Peirce, Mr. Malcolm will see you now" a woman said. She to had the first top buttons of her shirt undone.
I followed the woman into an office. A man was sitting at the large desk in the middle of the room. I assumed he was Mr. Malcolm.
"Thank you Emily" the man said not bothering to look at the woman.
I assume she is his secretary.
The woman left and the man looked at me.
He observed my clothing and gave me a confused look.
"I don't have any business clothes and I didn't want to buy any if I wasn't going to get the job" I said
"Your smart with money. I admire that. I'm Caden Malcolm, CEO" the man said as he held his hand out.
I shook his hand and smiled.
"Elia Peirce. Nice to meet you"
"So why do you want this job?" He asked
"I have a degree in business and I like doing this kind of stuff. Helping others makes me happy and what better way to do that then be a PA" I smiled.
"Interesting. Do you have any experience?" Mr.Malcolm asked as he look at my resume.
"No, but to get a job you need experience. If every job requires experience then nobody would have a job right now"
