"Name?"
It was quarter to lunch and I wasn't having it. The twentieth interview today and as far as I was concerned, these people are naive, soft and are nowhere near what I'm looking for.
My name is Amy Oliver and I'm a powerful founder of a building called Powerless. Powerless is an entertainment industry run by me, and only me. I am one of the most powerful women in the industry. I've debuted very successful Chinese pop groups, Korean pop groups, Japanese pop groups and very well known English singing stars. Nothing like the name obviously. Did I mention I was stinking rich?
"My name is Eve, " the way too hyper girl in front of me explained. I sighed, even the name says what I'm about to get myself into. Not to mention her clear obsession with pink. Pink top, neon pink shorts, bowtie, you name she probably had it. Not only did it make me gag, but it was also a clear indication of what kind of person she was. She looked like a unicorn had sex with a rainbow and they had a child name Eve. Actually disturbing.
"Okay. Let's get this over with." I said with the coldest and intimidating voice I have. If they cower, I win and that's not what I'm looking for. I need someone who is able to handle, the pressure, being famous is not an easy task. Leaning back and crossing my arms over my chest, I examined her. I needed confidence and power, none of which any of the interviews seem to have. From the moment she stepped in all I sensed was fear and distress.
She cleared her throat.
Fixed her pants.
Hasn't looked at me in my eyes.
Trying to avoid my glare.
Failed.
"Well..., " she started, "I-i have experience in dancing a-and 2 years of vocal training, "
"I hope you have a piece prepared, "
"Y-yes sir- I mean ma'am" I get this a lot surprisingly, it really doesn't bother me.
I waved my hand at her for her to begin, and so she did. And suddenly I wanted to jump out the window next to me. Seriously, I was really considering it, two years of training huh? With who? Your cat?
"Thank you, Miss." I wasn't having it again, "that will be all." I gathered my papers, bowed my head and smiled. She looked at me in shock as if I was going mad and didn't know what I was doing. But these people know me and what I'm capable of, so she said nothing. Walking out the glass door, all my employees just stood and bowed their heads at me. They make it seem as if I have them by leashes...well...there is a reason for everything. They get a good salary and all I ask from them is to not slack and get your shit done. Not to say I overwork them, they have the normal 9 to 5 and they hardly take overtime.
I plopped the papers at the corner of my fairly clean desk. (Do I look like I have time to clean it?) With a huge sigh, I myself plopped onto my chair.
I thought this would've been easy. I was so fucking wrong. Just one capable trainee, just one fucking trainee.
Beep Beep
My dial tone went off, rolling my eyes I pressed the button.
"What, "
"Miss Olive, you have company, " my assistant called out.
"I'm out."
"No miss Olive, it's Bang Si-hyuk, " My eyes went wide as I scrambled to get the phone to my ear.
"Please, no Avery."
"I'm afraid so Miss Olive, " when she heard no reply she continued, "He says it is an urgent matter that is to only be discussed with you, "
"Well, shit, " with that, she ended the call and a buzzer was heard on the other side. The elevator, shit. Bang Si-hyuk. I hated him and everything he stood for. He was my biggest rival within this industry, he was debuting a new group soon called BTS BANGTAN SONYEONDAN. He was looking for their next and the last member, while I was trying to find my first. He uses this against me and everything I stand for. Nonetheless, I will find someone, even if it's one single person. I will find him or her and bet your life, they will be so goddamn better. I heard the elevator door chime a few steps away from my office door and saw my employees look up and their eyes went wide, they didn't expect him and they knew about our feud. I don't blame them, the whole of South Korea knows, maybe even north.
There he stood, right in front of my glass doors, hands behind his back and looking as smug and vain as ever. Yes, I hated him with my entire being and he hates me with his entire existence. We have to keep it professional, we are founders after all. Waving my hand for him to come in he smiled and bowed, he smiles?!
"Good afternoon, Amy" he chimed as he briskly made his way to the two prestige white, clean chairs in front of me.
"Don't call me that." I grinned through teeth,
"Ah yes, Amy today is a wonderful day, isn't it?" Okay. He did something. And I know it, why do I feel like today is the day when I get charged for Bang Si-hyuk's murder? Then again, that's every day.
"I've seen better Hitman Bang, " he shifted a bit at the name. Never liked it, so why not use it?
"So how is your trainee search going?" He said with the brightest of smiles
"Haha, great, " I smiled, "thanks for asking, now if you have nothing really urgent to discuss, I suggest you leave before I do, "
That last part came out more like a threat than a statement, that is what I intended.
"Ahh, Amy, so aggressive, but okay, I'll get to my point." He said getting serious, "One of my trainees has applied for your company. I hear that he is the best at what he does, which is almost everything, and if you dare accept him I will have people find you and murder you in the most painful way possible. His name is Jeon Jungkook and if you give this boy any sort of hope that he got in. You do not want to see what I have planned. He will be here tomorrow at 1:00 pm, I can't deny him of his request to work with you as he is not fully under my power, so I thought the warning would be necessary."
Zzzzzzzzzz
Yeah, I actually don't care. Everything he just said went through my ear. All I heard was Jeon Jungkook, applied for my company and accept him.
"Bang, are you seriously trying to threaten me?"
"No, warn you, "
"Okay, so my turn. If I see anyone that walks through those doors that I want to be mine. He will be fucking mine. You can kill me, but no one will care, not even myself. If I like Jeon Jungkook, I will hire him and there is no doubt about it. Threaten me all you want, it was his choice to join my company, so now it is my choice to approve it." And with my last words, he was asked to leave, "thank you, Mr. Bang, " he sat there looking uneasy as hell, and I'm pretty sure you could see steam through his ears.
Nonetheless, I got up grabbed my belongings and walked out of my office, leaving him there to ponder what I said. As I got further away from the door, I only cared about 1 thing.
Food. Hey, it was lunchtime anyway.
