The beauty and the beast

Chapter 1 INTERVIEW

Stella's P.O.V

"Stella, you are going to be late for your interview, come on wake up." My best friend, Alexandra or Alex said. Alex and I have been staying in an apartment in New York ever since we had graduated from collage. And if you're wondering what degree I graduated in, I did a business degree. Hoping some day that I will be able to open my own business.

"Oh shoot! What time is it. Alex why didn't you wake me up sooner. It's already 8 in the morning this interview starts at 9."I groaned in frustration. "Okay, how about getting a up and preparing instead of complaining like a small little girl." After getting scolded by Alex,I got up and headed to my own bathroom.

 Did I mention we got this amazing apartment thanks to Alex's parents who are super wealthy. I on the other hand came from a average family comprising of my grandmother ,my grandfather and myself. I was an only child, my parents and I were involved in an car accident and took both their lives. I can't really remember much as I was only 6 at that time. It has always been hard telling this stories to other people so I always kept it to myself.

I only told Alex about this when I was very sure I could trust her. And about this interview, I wore a maroon blazer dress along with a pair of nude heels. And took a cab to the famous Jones building , where I will be interviewing for a spot in the company. The company is famous for its wide variety of hotels , clubs and restaurants all over the world.

On the way I texted Alex that I was already on route to the office and also didn't forget to call my grandparents to check up on them. "Hello! Grandma, how are you and grandpa doing?" " Hello dear we are doing marvellous, are you on the way to the building?" "Yes as we are speaking I have just reached I will call you later ok?" "Ok dear , grandpa and I wish you the best of luck, talk to you soon."

After I paid the the driver, and made my way to the reception. "Hi, I am here to meet Mr Jones for an interview." "Oh yes hi, can I have your name?" "My name is Stella Lily Smith." "Okay, go up to level 23 and Mr Jones will be waiting for you just knock and go in to the office."The receptionist said kindly. "Ok thank you" I replied.

I made my way up all the way to level 23, and on the way up there I thought about what type of person is he. I always heard he was ruthless, cold and can never tolerate any bullshit from anyone and it's always his way or the highway, but if his the person as people portray him to be why are there still so many people working under him. It is because of fame or because of the money guess we will never know or will we.

I knocked the door and heard someone said "come in". As I went in through the door it felt like the gods above has blessed my eyes. Mr Jones was 6ft 2 and he had blue eyes that can get me mesmerised and lost in it. "Hello sir, my name is Stella Lily Smith, may I take a seat?"
