POV: Toya's
Day: Monday
Time: 5:30AM
Place: Guestroom

I woke up real early today. I have an interview at Interscope Records. I got up out of bed and made it up. I grabbed my clothes and headed into the bathroom. I took a shower, brushed my teeth and managed to make my hair look sensible. I got dressed and walked out of the bathroom. I sprayed on some perfume and put on my heels. I grabbed the bag Bre's lending me, placing my phone and some files for the interview inside. Ready to go.

I walked out of my room and went downstairs. Bre was eating a bagel and sipping on coffee. She owns hair salons all across the city. "You're gonna be late if you don't hurry up. Can you still drop me off?"

Bre: "Sure, let's go."

"Thanks." We got in her car and I gave her the directions to the building. When we got there, she looked like she wanted to say something but instead she gave me a small smile. "Wish me luck." I said as I got out of the car and headed inside.

I walked up to the front desk and dang, in here looks nice. "Good morning. I'm here for the 9 o'clock interview."

Secretary: "Name?"
Nae: "LaToya..LoToya Williams."
Secretary: (checking her computer) "Oh Ms. Williams. 15th floor and please check with the secretary up there."

"Thanks." We exchanged smiles and I walked over to the elevator. I pressed the button and while I waited these two young guys stood on either sides of me, eyeing me down. When the doors opened, I walked inside the elevator and pressed the button with 15 on it. They pressed different buttons.

I was humming the song that was playing in the elevator while I waited. That was until I was attacked by the both of them. One grabbing on my thigh and the other grabbing on my chest. I kicked them both where the sun will never shine just as the door opened at one of their floors. He awkwardly walked out and I faced the other one. "You wanna continue with your sh-t or what?"

He shook his head and I smirked. "I didn't think so." He got off on his floor and my floor was next. I got out and walked over to the secretary's desk at the end of the hall. "Good morning-"

Secretary: "You must be Ms. Williams. Please wait over there (pointing to some chairs) while you wait on Mr. Broadnax."

I nodded my head and smiled. Mr. Broadnax? Hmmm.. What a coincidence. I sat down in one of the chairs and grabbed a magazine. Beyonce and Blue Ivy- hmmm..

?: "You can go in now, Ms. Williams."

I looked up to see this boojee looking girl standing over me. I rested the magazine down and knocked on the door. I heard "Come in." so I went inside.

Us: "What the hell?"
Toya: "Jac?"
Jac: "Toya?"
Toya: "Dayum..Dayum..Dayum."
Jac: "You're applying for the assistant's job?"
Toya: "I'm not really sure due to the fact that two of your workers were feeling up on me in the elevator. What kind of place are you running here, Jac?"
Jac: (picking up the phone and pressing a button) "Check the security cameras and send the two workers who were out of conduct in the elevator to me. Send me the tape as well." (hanging up) "Sit down, please."

I sat down in the chair in front of his desk. I was about to pull out my resume but he stopped me.

Jac: "I know everything about you.. I don't need to see your resume."
Toya: "I was just trying to be professional, dang."
Jac: "So why do I want this job?"
Toya: "I don't really want it. I need it so I won't be a burden on Bre and to be independent again."
Jac: "I see."
Toya: "Mhm."
Jac: "If you're working for me, you're gonna learn some manners."
Toya: "Hold up. (makes a car noise) Scerchhhh." (holding one hand up in his face)
Jac: (laughing) "Just kidding. How long have you been looking for a job since you got out?"
Toya: "Only a day."
Jac: "Lucky much?"
Toya: "To be sitting in front of you, not so much."
Jac: (frowning) "Still upset with me?"
Toya: "No sh-t, sherlock."
Jac: "What can I do to make it up to you?"
Toya: "I don't know, Jac. Right now, I'm not even concerned-"
Jac: "You got the job."
Toya: "I don't want it as a gift."
Jac: "No, you got it because you're a good caregiver and you're knowledgeable when it comes to the music industry."
Toya: "You mean that?"
Jac: "Of course. Now you start next Monday."

Next Monday.. The 20th of November. 2 days after my birthday. "Okay."

Jac: "Do you need a company car or-"
Toya: "No."
Jac: (standing up) "Okay."

I got up and was about to open the door but he stood in front of me.

Jac: "I miss you." (kissing my cheek)

I gave him a small smile and he grinned. He moved out of the way and I walked out of the office. He called out after me. I turned around. "Yes?"

Jac: "Where something less shape revealing when you come back to my office."

I laughed and rolled my eyes. "Alright." He smiled and closed the door as I continued on my way out of the office.
