Beauty and the Demon

Chapter 1: Eye of an Angel

Beauty's pov

"Goodness gracious this heat is toasting me alive! Oh my gosh, I'm sweating nonstop,"'–and so your mouth'. This whore like woman sitting in front of me is grumbling nonstop.

'Seriously, girl? You almost wear nothing! Short- no, very very short almost nothing, pencil skirt and a brazier inside your suit. Tch what a slut!', I uttered to myself.

"Unlike me all day fresh, as fresh as a new bloom flower!", I half-whispered but loud enough for her to hear then I saw her roll her huge eyeballs.

'The heck?' I look at her intently so he looked at me again so I stared at her more that made her pause.

"Hmph!", she uttered and move away from me.

'Scaredy cat' 'Tsk so annoying, feeling gorgeous, what a bitch face. 'I cursed again.

"NEXT!", a girl LOUDLY shouted, when I said loudly it was really loud an eardrum cracking worthy loud. I think she came from the associates' office, who the hell knows?

Actually, I don't know either, and on top of that, I don't even know why I'm even here. I also don't also know what this is for. Maybe for porn or sex trafficking? Who freaking knows? I only came here because of my mom's neighbor's friend. She came this morning to our humble house and told us the latest chismis (gossip) with Mom about our other neighbor's affairs and our other neighbor's daughter, who has a sugar daddy. Then she suddenly mentioned an opening in this company and how big the supposed to be salary was. When I hear the word money or anything related to it, I make sure I grab it despite having a very thin resume and not having what we called 'credentials'. I could proudly say I've done a lot of work, from entertainer, vendor, sales lady, convenience store part-timer, lady guard, delivery girl, and the latest, a waitress in a bar. Well, in today's time, we should not be choosy on what work to do because earning money is everything, so let's just hope and pray that this confidence of mine will pave its way.

"NEXT!!", the girl shouted again which wakes me from daydreaming.

"Shit!", I uttered then nervously stand up.

"Just go straight then you'll see your interviewer!!", she shouted AGAIN!

'It's now my time to shining shimmering spending!' Then I modeled my way inside.

"B*tch." I heard the girl after I whispered. So I pulled myself and slap her with flip hair and then looked at her with a deadly glare and then she moved her feet backward.

'Scaredy cat'

"Hey! Move faster, go, go!", goodness is there a word quiet, silence, or lowers the volume in this girl's vocabulary? She is shouting at the top of her lungs like there is no tomorrow!

"Yes, yes, ok, ok," Then I hurriedly go.

"Good morning Miss–?", a very sexy man name Marquiz De Jesus, written on the plaque, greeted me.

'Jesusmariajoseph! What a holy surname you have and also an angelical face,' I uttered in my mind with matching sign of the cross.

"Miss–?" he asks again.

"Oh Aparision Mr. De Jesus," I answered while giving him my resume and I also take my seat without asking permission cause I feel my ankles were about to break. I waited for almost two hours so have mercy on my feet.

"And I'm Marquiz De Jesus, you could call me Sir for now, and nice meeting you," he formally greeted me with the sweetest smile I've ever seen.

I want to capture that smile and make a billboard out of it. His smile is toothpaste commercial-worthy so shining and white. I think I really came to the right company, I could work 24/7 for that smile.

"Me too sir nice to see you smi– ehem know you," I almost slipped.

"You mean meet."He correction me.

"Sounds the same for me sir, but thank you for correctioning me," I say with a wide smile.

"You mean correcting right?" I just looked at him like 'what the heck are you talking about?'

"Well let's just start, so Uhm," he uttered while skimming my resume, I don't know what's taking him so long my resume only consists of my personal information and few decent jobs I did, so technically it's just a paper thick piece of garbage. "Your sure that you really want to apply for this position Ms. Aparision?", he straightforwardly asked.

'Really? You really asked me that after I waited for two hours straight standing outside your un-airconditioned hall? Are you fucking with me Mr. Toothpaste Commercial Worthy Smile' 'Tsk be thankful that you got me with your pearly white smile or else I'm gonna kiss you till you drop! Hihihi just kidding.'

"Ms. Aparision, are you with me?" he asked again.

"Aye, aye captain-sir and also aye, aye for your question number one, " I answered with a hundred one percent confidence that made him chuckle a bit then quickly composed himself.

"But you don't have the credentials to be a secretary. You are an undergraduate, and your background experience is for maintenance staff, so how could I hire you if you don't have background knowledge for this?"

'I know right, my face is the only thick here, not resume and not even my patience. But what the fuck is the credentials? Is it a credential card like a debit card?'

"Sir, I'm fine even if you'll only hire me as one of your maintenance staff. It's ok, I don't mind working in any position as long as I have a regular job. I can also be a guard. 'Hand's up in the air freaks! Open your bags, hey, no ID, no entry!' I could also be on the front table. 'Good morning, ma'am, please come again. 'I could also replace you, sir. 'Why do you want to apply for this position if this position is only for those who have a position?'" I give a peace sign and continue. "But kidding aside, what I'm saying is that I can multi-task and I have a lot of experience in different fields of work." I explained with matching acting and improvised props.

He amusingly stares at me while doing those crazy things and gently smiles at me.

'Sir don't stare at me, 'Em melting char (jk).' I also stared at him that made him pause; shock is evident on his face.

"Are you ok, sir?" I politely ask.

"Uh... e y-yeah I'm good,' then he cut his stares and look at my resume."I think you forgot to write your father's name," he commented that made me pause.

"Ah, I don't really write my father's name because I do not really know his full name but my mom said it was Dominique;" I sadly said

"Dominique huh? Did someone say to you before that you have very beautiful eyes, Miss Angelique?"

'A rare one' he mumbles.
