RUBY
Thoughts are racing, heart is racing, hell I'm racing to get to that interview
pushing my blonde bangs out of my face as I race down the street to where I parked my car last night
should've thought about this before parking that far Ruby, hitting the pub last night was your worst idea so far
running in heels is the worst, but you just gotta make it work when you sleep in your interview clothes drunkly cause you know you won't make it on time in the morning
hoping in the car, I quickly stuff the key in and start the engine before racing down the street hoping I don't break the goddamn law.
during my short drive I try to make myself look presentable that I dont look like I'm hungover during my first ever interview, putting on a little bit of makeup, with one hand on the wheel and the other putting on mascara, still hoping I don't just ram into someone right now with my hectic behavior while driving.
finishing up my makeup and swallowing an aspirin for my unbearable headache, I look for a spot to park my car and slowly start backing into it, hitting the breaks right on time before hitting the expensive car in front of me and racing out not having anytime to stare at the giant building in front of me and checking my phone,
1:28PM
"shit!" I whisper shout as I run in as fast as someone who wants to look professional can and get myself to the front desk
"hello. I have an interview with Kai Jenson" I pant out and straighten out my skirt as I wait for the receptionist
"name?"
"Ruby Hart"
"down the hall to your right" she said in a monotone voice not pulling her eyes from the screen, staying seated without another glance in my direction
I thought she was supposed to walk me there? oh well
"thank you" I say as I race down the hall as I only have about 30 seconds to get there or I'm late for my first ever interview
oh dear God
turning right I came face to face with the big white door with my possibly new bosses name in gold bold letters
taking a breathe I form my hand into a fist before giving 3 solid knocks on the wooden painted door and await an answer
hearing a faint "come in" from behind the door, I grab onto the doorknob with my trembling hand and twisting it, opening the door to the huge office that belonged to none other than Kai Jenson.
"oh you're right on time" phew, I guess my picture is in the file, if not its kinda creepy he knows me
I give the surprisingly young man a charming smile before stepping into the huge office, staring back at me were deep black walls with white and gold accent decoration that gives the dark color some life, to the right of me was a giant glass window overlooking the city of New York, glancing at the left side of the office I see a small coffee station and loads of files in the different sections of the white bookcase.
looking back at Mr. Jenson as I clear my throat, as I was still waiting by the doorway not knowing what to do at this point.
"are we gonna do the interview with you standing at the door?" he laughs a small high pitched laugh before continuing "please, come in" with a smile, I walked in fixing my skirt again before sitting in one of the two brown chairs in front of his huge white desk.
"so," he starts, "your school recommended you to us before you graduated, we were told that you're an excellent drummer" he smiles again looking up from my file to look at me again
I cleared my throat again before speaking, "yes um, I also play a little bit of everything, piano, guitar, violin, I love to play the electric guitar too!" I list excitingly because of what I hear if you want to work with Sony, the more you have as an artist is the better
"that's excellent!, with your experience we can use you with a lot of artists who signed contracts here" he informed me before starting to talk again, "your file also says that you wrote and sung songs for graduation?" he asked with an impressed look on his face like he's reading the file for the first time.
"yeah I wrote a couple songs, but I never liked the attention so I came here in hopes I play an instrument and/or vocalize for an artist" I explain with a smile
he gives my file one last look before looking back up, "well, I never done this right away before but given your impressive file, I think I have a job for you here" he smiles while finishing up his news
well this is gonna be fun
