Anyone But You

It's finally the big day. The past few days have been nerve-racking and I didn't know what to expect. I spent some time doing my research on the company, although it was unnecessary since I know pretty much everything about it. R&R Co. cooperates in the whole world and it has two important headquarters. One is here in New York City, the other branch is located in London. As it is an international business it refers to the trade of goods, services or even technology all around the globe. And R&R Co. achieved it by perfectly creating a bridge for multinational markets in one marketplace. It starts from perfumes, textiles and even communication. See how lucky I'd be if they accepted me?

I gather all my papers and put them inside my bag.

"It's the big day huh?" Iris asks as she scrolls through her phone screen.

"Yeah, I'm sweating already!" I say and I wear my shoes.

"You know you'll do good. You're really good at talking so they'll love you." She says and gives me a smile.

"Does that mean I might also talk a lot?" I say confused. I should maybe zip it a bit.

"Don't be silly. Look," she says and comes closer to take my hands on hers. " You know inside you that it's pretty easy to get there since you worked your ass off for this day. Just chill and go with it." And she hugs me.

"Thank you. What would I do if it weren't for you!" I say and she smirks.

"I know right, I'm too good to be true." She says and I know she's doing this to lighten the mood a bit.

"I'll get going now if I don't want to get late. " I say and I take my bag.

" Cool, you look awesome. Break a leg!" She says and raises her thumbs up.

"That's for actors stupid." I say as I open the door.

"Oh, yeah. Well, good luck then, or something."

"Thank you, bye." And I close the door. Let's get this!

Here I am. The huge building lies in front of me, boasting it's power in front of this small individual standing right face to face. I knew that someday I'd do this, the thing I love. Actually, I always wanted to be a CEO but it's okay if I take it step by step.

I start walking towards the building, measuring my steps in order to look as professional as I can. I won't let my emotions get in the way. Chill, I'm Gledis, I can do this.

As soon as I enter, I see people with papers and suits walking in and out, from the left to the right. The pavement is white, looks like marble, the walls are really high and everything's so luxurious. I can't imagine how rich Mr. Ronald is. It's weird because he seldom makes any appearances in any of the magazines or TV shows. That's why I didn't recognize him at first glance this Sunday. It was his name that rang the bell for me.
As I observe the high ceiling from where a huge chandelier is hanging, I reach the front desk. A brunette in her 30s is sitting on the chair and is talking on the phone.

"Hello." I say and she gestures me with her hand to wait a second as she finishes the call. Great start so far!

I look around to pass the time until this lady decides to pay some attention. There are three elevators in here, or at least this is how much this position allows me to see. On my right, there is a huge space that seems like the waiting area with big black leathered sofas and a table in the middle with tons of business magazines on top.

"Yes." The lady says as I was lost in thoughts.

"Hello, I'm Gledis Haynes. I had an appointment today at 11 am. " I say and she nods as she checks her notebook.
