In A Heartbeat

Chapter 13

Ezra

I am absolutely losing my mind by staying home and not having anything to do. I miss having a job. Perhaps it wouldn't be too bad if I just got another job. Possibly to also detach from my thoughts of Kane.

I cannot believe that I agreed to being his girlfriend, but nonetheless it was exciting.

I was on the way into town , walking in the midst of a crowd when I spot a building with the nicest glass finish. The company was called Coleman & Harrison, that company was known for all things related to law. I don't know much about Law but I knew enough and that is all there is to say about that. I took a deep breath and ran across the street over to the entrance.

I entered and was entirely taken aback by the sheer design of the place. This was supposed to be a law firm but it was so beautiful in an exotic way, I was a little confused by this.

I walk over to the front desk where one woman and one man sat on their computers.

" Woah" said the man. Who seemed to be of the flamboyant side of things.

" You're so fucking hot" he continued. I smiled.

" Hi , I'm Ezra and I'm inquiring about a job here for the CEO's assistant role?" I asked.

" I'm sorry I know he just said it but you're one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen" the woman said now eying me up and down.

" You guys are too kind , honestly thank you I appreciate it" I answer. Starting to feel a little shy.

" no worries" they both said in unison.

" is this a law firm ?" I ask.

" No sweetheart , this company is known for selling all kinds of knives and things like that, with the best of quality as well. You might have us confused with the one by Blaine and Sutton East St" The woman explained. I nod my head , still looking around the place when I see a glass display near the elevator to my right , two Katanas and two Shibuki swords.

My mouth drops unexpectedly and in awe.

" Do you have any background knowledge on knives and that nature?" The man asks me.

" Sorry?" I ask snapping back into reality.

" Can we see your résumé?" The woman asks with a kind smile.

" I'm so sorry, your collection over there caught me off guard. Are they the real deal?" I ask. As I reach into my bag to get my résumé and hand it to the lady.

" We make it a habit of not discussing that case, our boss likes to leave things to mystery" She answers with a wave of the hand and begins looking through my résumé.

" I don't see why he wants no one to know the truth behind them, I personally don't believe it's as serious as he tries to make it seem" The flamboyant man says with a snort.

"Hmm, interesting" I say. I wanted to go see them upclose for myself since I think my skills with knives can help me decipher between what's real and what is just a phoney replica of the real thing.

The elevator opens and two men come out followed by two women. All very good looking people. Is it another lane requirement from the boss that his employees all he very good looking? I scoff, lost in my own thoughts.

" Well when can you start?" The lady looks back up and stuffs the résumé in a file. I blink a few times as I'm confused as to why she is asking me such a thing when no interview has been conducted.

" No interview, no screening, no nothing?" A very bewildered me asks.

" We do things our way" She says in a matter-of-fact way.

" Um..." I begin.

" Ezra is it? Baby if you don't want the job please exit through those doors and have yourself a nice day no offence" Glitterboy says. Which I feel would be a perfect nickname for him and his sass.

" A cautionary warning, watch your tone" I respond back.

" Ou?!" He begins.

" I can start as soon as this Tuesday" I return my attention back the lady. She laughs.

" Perfect! Come in at 10 a.m and go up to this floor right here, in fact let me write this all down for you" she says as she writes down the details on a piece of paper and hands it back to me.

" Thank you so much , see you tomorrow!" I say and make my way out.

That was all too easy, easy... makes feel uneasy. But nonetheless I want this so I'll make it happen no matter what.

As I was making my way out I notice a beautiful woman pass by, she was so gorgeous I was caught off guard.

I am now moving without thought and I tap the woman on her shoulder.

" I'm so sorry to disturb you but you are probably the most beautiful human being I have ever seen"

She has such a graceful smile, she reminds me of the 70s kind of beauty but also like the 1800's kind of classy. She had bright red lipstick, her skin was like pearls. Her hair was full of voluminous velvet black curls and a finishing beauty mark by her cheek.

" Wow am I so enticing that you stop me ? You're such a beauty" she compliments me back. I get butterflies.

I am not attracted to women by any means but she gives me this nerving feeling.

" Please I'm a fly on poop compared to you , I love your hair. Where are you from? This town is too dull for a woman like you" I say.

She laughs. Even that is unfathomably attractive.

" I'm from Newfoundland , I'm a Canadian girl but my background is Russian and Colombian where are you from?"

Wow, I have never heard of this mix.

" uh well —'' I begin. But I'm stopped by a man or two coming behind her and they make eye contact with me while they seem to be going around me.

" let's go grab some coffee at this little secret cafe I found , too many people walking around here for my liking I like to pass by like a ghost" The woman claims.

" Yeah sure let's go" I respond back. I would love to see a secret cafe are you kidding me?
