- LONDON, ENGLAND 2019 UMIKIA'S APARTMENT -

I threw the pantsuit on my bed and the black knee length dress Along with jeans and a large yellow sweater.
I had so many options to pick and I didn't know what to wear? Should I go classy? Sophisticated? Or comfortable? I tapped on my chin I was glad that I didn't have on makeup really just a faint pink lip balm and a little bit of mascara so it could go with any clothing I chose but it made it so hard.

I huffed and decided on comfort than anything else if I get rejected I'd rather do it comfortably. I put on some yellow flats with it and headed out the door. With my keys in hand. I pulled up the location in the email his manager had sent to me. And revved up my engine humming the same song that has been stuck inside my head since last night.

When I had pulled up to the gate 9 of this man house it looked like it covered acres of land guarding grand fountain from what I could seen and a tall castle like mansion. The gate had people standing in black suits that looked like they belonged in a mission impossible movies one of the men came up to me window and I rolled it down slowly "Miss, are you here for the position?" I nodded and he waved his hand the grand gate opened up just enough for my car to get through.

"All of this for a personal assistant who am I assisting the duke?"

I had parked where there signs said Position Parking I turned into the parking lot and parking near the back

Only seven parking spaces used? I thought this was for anyone who wanted it why was there only seven people?

I shook of the thought and it's more of a chance  of me getting the job anyways. When I got out he car one of the mission impossible men was already waiting for me.

"Hello? Miss I'm guessing you are the 8th participant I'm here to take you to where you will be evaluated" the man was y'all and blonde with a killer smile and easy on the eyes he had a boyish voice to go along with that smile of his and he looked like he stepped out of a GQ magazine. I nodded and felt my face heat up when I realized I let him stand there without me saying anything.

He chucked and bowed slightly with his hand pointing the opposite direction "It's over here Miss" I smiled and walked to where to pointed at him walking directly behind me. I turned around to look at him still with that boyish smile on his face "Why are there only seven people besides me going for this position it offered a whole bunch of money just for signing I would of thought half of England would be here" he laughed and pressed on his ear piece for a second.

"I'd tell you miss but we really need to hurry your already late" my eyes widened and I started to speed walk "Late I thought it said 8:45am for the interviews to start"

"Yes, but it's already 8:56" he said catching up to me I grabbed him by his sleeve and started to run "Why are we over here walking then we gotta go!" I said he smiled widely and laughed "Yes Ma'am"

By the time we reached it I was about to pass about I huffed and wheezed whole crouching over "Oh I'm really out of shape oh my lord" I gasped

"Miss we only ran for a minute and half" I stood up and took a deep breath and gave him my best glare. He put his hands up in mock surrender and pointed to the door. "Well that's your stop good luck on your interview I hope you get it" I smiled and waved him bye and walked in.

"Miss Johnson you are very late we are already done with the interviews I'm sorry you can leave" a tall blonde women with a long black revealing dress said her hair was pulled back into a ponytail and her face with caked on makeup to cover each and every pore. I looked at everyone else in the near- same attire tight revealing clothing and 5 inch or higher heels all dressed in red or black. I totally stuck out like a sore thumb.

They all started snickering and giggling amongst themselves.  "Wait- what time is it?" I asked the women who clearly dislike me being here

"It is 8:57 way passes the time I asked you to be here you can leave we already have an assistant thank you."

I could feel my angry rising and I bit time on my bottom lip not to say anything.

"You may go Miss Johnson you didn't belong here in the first place" I looked up at her with fire blazing in my eyes.

"First of all who are you to tell me where and where not I belong I understand I was late but it was a really long distance to get here not like you understand clearly you have no sympathy it's all soaked up with that 50- pound make up you cake on daily so before you make any judgements Ma'am I advise you to watch who your speaking to I am a grown woman and I demand respect like one." I took a deep breathe of air and I turned around

"Now I will leave" I started to walk where I came from having major attitude issues wanting to say more than I said I closed the door and started to walk where I ran before. I'd seen the same mission impossible man waiting for me at the end of the hallway where he took me to.

"Hey that was fast Miss Are you okay?"  I nodded feeling my anger fade away and we walked to my car. I put the key in the door while he opened it for me.

"I never got your name by the way Miss, I'm Austin Quintillion and you are?" I raised my eyebrows and smiled "Hey Austin I'm Umikia Johnson and I think you'd want my number right?" He brightens up and nodded I laughed and got my phone out.

"Here I'll text you since I don't think you have your phone on deck with you" He laughs "you'd be correct about that one Umikia and what a beautiful name you have to match your beautiful face it's 555-733- 0181

I put in his number with Austin Powers as his name and I get into my car "Talk later Austin?" I say through my window.

"Until then Umikia"
