2. The One With The Interview.
Nervously tapping my foot against the shiny marble floor, I looked at the ladies sitting in a long que in the waiting room for their interviews to be held. At first, I thought I landed on the wrong floor because everyone here, -well, except the staff- were dressed in barely some clothing that covered one's body.
Anyways, that's just my point of view because the others seem to have way too much distaste looking at my old ass.
Not that I didn't put efforts for looking good, it's just, I didn't put some kind of sluttery efforts for looking good.
I am who I am. If they hier me, they'll have to deal with my ass.
With that in mind, I made my way towards an comfortable looking brown couch, and sat down on it.
Damn, to say I was nervous would be the understatement of the century. I was freakingly high strung! I needed to get this job.
Right as I pulled out of the runway of my vapid thoughts, a girl came running from the exit of what I assumed was the room where the CEO of the company was, crying bitterly with her heavy make-up smudged.
Besides me, I heard hushed whispers, "Oh, another poor women. I don't know how can a guy so hot be such a cruel man!"
"Oh, I true that. He is way too hot to handle. I wish I get this job so I can be 24/7 around him." Another girl whispered and they both giggled.
"Miss. Parker, you're next." A women around my age announced giving me a warm friendly smile and lead my way inside the CEO's room, where I just saw a women run out from.
We stopped just behind the door of the office as the lady turned to look at me with a smile.
"Hey, don't be nervous. Everything will just be fine. Mr. Clarke maybe somewhat strict but everything will go just fine. Best of luck." After her little pep talk and a friendly wave, she left.
Gulping in a prolonged breath, I made my way towards the portal of the room, and pushed it open, only to be greeted by 3 men sitting on the organised plush ottoman, waiting for me to enter.
I took sedate steps towards them, unable to control the nervousness which was boiling inside of me.
One of the men looked to be in his mid-twenties and he looked jolly natured as well as less intimidating. Next to him sat a man, who I guess was in his early thirties and also, whose eyes were practically eye raping me. I shivered in disgust and shifted uncomfortably on my position.
Then, I my eyes traveled down to the third man who was, I assume in his fifties or something because of his wrinkeled face and everything. And one more thing, he looked like a total pervert. The way his eyes scanned me from head to toe was literally disgusting.
Get a life man! I so badly wanted to voice my thoughts out but decided against it.
He was lucky I didn't snap his neck off, just because I needed this job.
Well, I've gotta get through this shit fast.
The jolly man introduced himself "Hello there, Miss. Parker. I am Alexander Clarke. This is-" Alexander pointed to his left, towards the man in his thirties -" This is my partner Nathan Reid and the old man over there, he is William Steel who also happens to be my partner here. So, let's start, yeah?" Alexander finished.
"Yeah sure. Sounds great." I replied.
Then, he made a gesture with his hand telling me to take a seat at the only left couch and asked for my CV.
"So Miss. Parker. Your CV is quiet impressive but why should we hier you? Not to be mean, but you see, there are plenty of candidates right behind that door who could kill for this job." The Jolly natured man, who had a friendly smile plastered on his face which made a dimple on his left cheek pop up as his blue eyes twinkled with curiosity looking at me, asked.
I cleared my throat and answered, "Sir, as you now know that I've had 3 jobs which for several reasons, I had to quit. That was because I wasn't satisfied with what I did. As an interior designer, if you hire me, I'd be available for you at all the times, and designing has been my passion since when I was just little. Plus, I can assure you that you may find many as me but you won't find the kind of passion I have that I have inside me." I finished and looked up to see Alexander looking at me with a weird kinda glimmer in his sparkling blue eyes. Next to him, Nathan and William looked kinda shocked yet impressed.
Well, yeah I am beauty with brains kind of case.
After that, just some questions here and there were thrown at me but everything went well.
As soon as I got up to shake hands with everyone, after the interview was over, Alexander surprised me by pulling me into a hug. A friendly one, the one that makes you feel comfortable. Noticing he wasn't gonna let go off anytime soon, I awkwardly put my hands around his slime waist.
Finally, after few more awkward moments, he let go off me.
"Well, as you might already know, I'm the CFO here, and the CEO of the company is my best friend, which you haven't met right now, will meet you directly at your joining date. And yes, you're hired!" He grinned making a wide smile appear on my face.
Finally, I got the job!, I thought.
But who knew, what a shit ton of mess was I going to deal with?!
