Nothing Personal

A.N. FOR THE ABOVE VIDEO- SAM HARRIS IS SOOOO LOVELY AND SMOL AND I LOVE HIM.

ENJOY THE CHAPTER!! I wrote this at 2 so unedited!

Brent's POV

Jesus, that pink-haired girl really can talk. I was really trying to seem interested in her story about the time she was interim manager at LA Fitness, and that somehow qualifies her to work in a finance firm. How she thought that qualifies her is beyond me.

"Well thank you for coming in. I will call you."

No I will not.

Hannah came in to take Lily? Andy? out of my office, sending her on her way, and me a look of apology.

I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. I rolled up my sleeves and anxiously waited for the next interviewee, scrolling through emails to pass time.

When Hannah knocked on my door about 5 minutes later, I closed my email and ran my fingers through my hair out of exasperation. I've been through 6 applicants just this morning, and they all are terribly under qualified. Could this be lucky number 7?

Hah! Sure. One could hope.

When Hannah opened my door, an insanely alluring woman walked in, with clearly so much potential just in her little skirt and top.

Wow.

Hannah closed the door, leaving me alone with this gorgeous woman.

Dear God, please let this work. Please let her be smart, she's absolutely beautiful.

As she walked toward my desk and sat down in the chair opposite me, I automatically smiled as I imagined her slim body and long hair sitting on me, not a chair. Oh how wonderful that would be.

Oh shit, was she saying something? Fuck, I was supposed to be paying attention! Focus Brent! C'mon, this a job interview.

Now more than ever, oh God please let her be qualified. She is so confident. And beautiful. Damn.

She held out her slim delicate hand as I realized she just introduced herself. Or said something. Oh shit! I missed her name!

Nice going genius. The only words I caught were "You must be Mr. Reynolds?"

Attempting to be smooth, I responded with, "Guilty as charged."

Guilty as charged? What am I a judge?

"So, Ms. Handler, is it?" I ask after I received her resume and looked over it

Wow. An MBA in Business and Finance from Princeton? And she's only 25? Fuck, this girl is incredible. Plus, she's confident and holds herself together very well. She hasn't lost her composure from being in my presence. Yes, cocky I know, but the 3rd interviewee couldn't stop stuttering and twisting her hair. I thought it was going to fall out.

Aubrey Handler. I wonder if she has ever been called Bree. Maybe I'll ask her if she gets the job- who am I kidding, she had the job as soon as she walked in.

I was skimming through her resume some more just to make sure that I could hire her not only based on looks. Under prior experiences, she's listed as founder of Sweet Delights Bakery. The one on 22nd street, down the street from us? Why on earth would she want to work here? Can she even handle working at a place like this? A place this professional? Goddamnit, why did she have to ruin everything? It was going so well, too! At least I think it was, I was not really listening to be honest; her looks are extremely distracting.
