Being 24 and recently laid off from my job was not all it was cracked up to be. But one job application-that I filled out only because my best friend has the best puppy dog eyes-changed it all.

The drive was pretty uneventful. I made small talk with Kimmy, the driver, and found out she had been working for the men I was about to meet for about five years. She had nothing but good things to say about them and that helped ease my nerves a little.
Before I knew it, the car was pulling up in front of the restaurant. I gulped as I stared out of the window in awe. I had never eaten here before but I heard all about it. The building was beautifully modern and had "Singularity" in big, white letters toward the top.
I jumped and cleared my throat when my door was suddenly being opened. I stepped out as gracefully as I could, silently cursing Jisoo for the shoes. Sure, they looked good, but she knew how clumsy I was.
"Mr. Kim will let me know when your meal is finished. Have a lovely dinner, Miss." She said with a kind smile, which I returned before turning toward the building. A sudden thought hit me and I spun around.
"Kimmy!" I said, grimacing at the loudness. She had her door open and was about to climb inside, but looked over at me with raised eyebrows. "Um, thank you." I finished rather awkwardly.
She bowed her head and smiled again before sitting in the seat and closing the door. I watched the car drive off a few feet before inhaling deeply and turning toward the entrance.
I fished my phone out of my purse and sent a quick text to Jisoo, letting her know I was here, then turned it on silent before putting it back in my bag. I walked toward the restaurant, which already had a line coming out of the doors.
"You got this, Violet. You are talented and deserving of this,' I repeated Jisoo's words under my breath as I got closer to the restaurant. They helped my pounding pulse slightly and I swallowed thickly.
I got several dirty looks and glares as I passed the line and went straight to the hostess stand. A petite, pretty blonde stood at the podium, offering me a warm smile. "Hi! Welcome to Singularity! Do you have a reservation?"
I swallowed as I took in my surroundings. I felt so out of place here. I couldn't ever be this high class even if I tried.
"Hi, thank you. Um yes, the reservation is under Namjoon."
The hostess's smile faltered a little, and the once kind eyes turned cold as she looked me over. "Right this way," She said shortly, walking away quickly.
I scrambled to hurry after her before I lost her through the tables we weaved through, but the speed she was walking at was proving difficult. I may have been 5'5, but I was basically all legs. But man, her tiny ones were flying and I was starting to feel the burn in my thighs.
"Here you are." She stopped abruptly, almost causing a collision with the back of her body and the front of mine.
