The holidays are coming around again and for the first time, I'm dreading it. Don't get me wrong I love the holidays because I get to spend it with my parents and my sisters Solange and Kelly. The reason why I'm nervous is that I haven't seen them since last Christmas. Last Christmas I was single and they kept asking me when I was gonna settle down and get married and it gets more and more annoying each year. My relationship with Nicki didn't happen because I wanted the questions to stop but it's an amazing coincidence that'll work in my favor this year.
I met Nicki around February, one day at the headquarters of Parkwoods Entertainment in New York. I had just let go of a lawyer on my legal team and needed a new person. I was having difficulty picking because almost every person who applied had met my qualifications. I'm a firm believer in giving everybody a chance and I'm so indecisive. Making a decision is super hard but I have to suck it up if I want to move on with my life. I have so much work to do for Parkwood and I also plan on starting another company. Parkwood is already a lot to handle but my momma raised a fighter so nothing is ever too much.
Flashback
"Melanie. Please send in the first applicant on the list. Thank you." I say into the phone to my assistant.
A minute goes by and a very nervous but young light skin man walks in and I stand up to shake his hand. He gives a shaky but firm handshake and he sits down in front of me.

"Nice to meet you Dante, and thank you for applying," I say as I sit down.
"Nice to meet you too Miss Knowles." He responds
So far so good. He's still nervous but that's fine by me, I prefer nervous kind over the cocky kind. Reminds me of my very first interview at my old job I had during college.
"Alright, tell me about yourself. What colleges did you attend, what made you apply for Parkwood, and why did you decide to pursue law." Just general questions. Of course, I already know the answer to most of the questions but It's nice to hear how he can articulate himself.
"Well I attended the University of Vermont and for my law degree, I transferred to Vermont Law School. I wanted to apply here because I've always had a love for music, it was my original career path but I got discouraged because I had no support. I thought if I can't do music myself, I should at least help people in the music industry." He answered. I liked hi answer a lot, even though I can't help but feel bad about him having no support in terms of his original dreams. Sure he went through the years to become a lawyer but will work at Parkwood be healthy for him?
