Hi. My name is Josephine, my family and friends call me Jo. Since we are friends you can call me Jo too.

Yesterday I got a call from largest the publishing company in Los Angeles telling me that I got selected.

Just to fill you in with details ... I wanted to be an editor and for that I applied for the job and luckily I got selected.

I don't belong here but thanks to my best friend Brian for giving me a place to live.

Brian is my friend since grade one, we studied together to high school then he came to Los Angeles for fashion designing and now he's currently working.

Today is my first day and Brian helped me with my outfit. It is black skirt and blazer with white polka blouse. I matched it with black heels and did a light makeup. I took my binder and bag.

"bye baby girl. And show the world your talent" Brian shout as I lock the door on my way out.

"bye honey bunny" I reply back.

I still have an hour so I to get energize I decide to have a coffee. Thanks to Starbucks to be near to the apartment.

"what would you like to have miss?" the cashier ask.

"cappuccino please" I smile.

"in a minute mam" he says.

After a few seconds he call my name giving me my cup.

"thanks" I smile and start walking to the door while putting the remaining in my bag. I was still away from the door when someone bump into me causing the coffee to spill.

"oh shit" I shout.

"what the fuck" a man say.

The coffee is still hot and it also spill on my hand causing me to drop the cup which lead the remaining coffee to splash.

"are you stupid" he say.

I am still shock of what happened. I look up and find oceanic blue eyes that were haunting me.

He has dark blonde hair. Tall. Handsome. Nice physique.

If any other situation I would have fall for this man but not now. He spill my coffee, my hand is burning because of him. Asshole

"excuse me?" I scoff.

"you heard me.. Are you stupid. You ruined my fucking gucci shirt." he says rising his voice.

Then I came to know that the coffee ruin his shirt. He deserves it to be honest he is so..... Mannerless

"mannerless? You call me mannerless... You are mannerless you spill the coffee... Ruin my shirt. And not to mention my shoes" he taunt. Maybe I speak loud

"hey hey hey... You spill my coffee the one I payed for... You bumped into me and you have the guts to shout at me" this man fuels me up to shout.

"listen I don't have time to waste on people like you.. Just pay for my damage and leave" he scorn.

" well mister I don't care who the fuck you are or you run the economy of the country but you did some lose to me" I say crossing my arms.

"what is your loss if I may ask? A cup of coffee? You owe me money for my shirt and shoes" he mock.

"haha.. Not a coffee mister, but a plastic surgery.. Of my HAND..my fucking hand.. who you fucking burn by spilling MY coffee" I reply back directing my hand to him to see.

"you are crazy" he huffed.

"yeah yeah and you sounds so educated here" I smirk knowing he is about to withdrawal.

"Jack how the hell such people come here?" he points to the cashier. wasn't expecting him to fight more.

"yeah so true Jack how the hell such people come here" I lean in and point my finger to this rude, thinking himself a prince, man.

We are so into fight that we don't realize that people are staring.

"I... I think you both should leave now" a shaky fear voice says. The cashier

I huff and pick up my bag, "I'm already leaving..." I tell him.

"me too, I can't bear this crazy girl anymore" He scoff and start walkinh to the door.

I frown, "he call me crazy" I thought.

I walk faster and intentionally bumped into his shoulder, "sorrrrry" I mock.

He was shock, "you..you...crazy.....girl" He shouted.

I grin and whisper "pay back, asshole" and went out.

Today is getting worse with every passed second, I got a taxi but there was a traffic jam. That's why I have to walk 15 minutes straight to reach the glass covered tall building.

I smile to myself and walk in to the desk. "Hi I am Josephine Langford, I got selection call yesterday" I told to her. She was busy in painting her nails, siting in a position that show her boobs. Weird girl

"wait" she says in a straig, rude voice and was checking me and making expressions like I am some trash.

In a lazy way she pick the phone to call. "yes sir,......she is here..... Okay sir" She talk on the phone in a flirty way.

She put back the phone, popped her bubble and said, "go to floor 9 Mr. Jones will see you there"

"oh.. Um.. Okay" I lift my eyebrow and give her a confused smile.

As the elevator open, someone call my name. "Miss Langford"

I turn around a find a tall, handsome man. Well everyone is taller than me. Thanks to my short height.

He has green eyes, chocolate colored messy hair and is like Prince Eric from the little mermaid.

He approach me and said, "Miss Langford, right?" I nod.

His beauty leads me to go on silent.

"welcome to FT & Co." he greets.

I smile and thank him. He hold some files and start walking to I don't know where, with me following him.

"I am Noah Jones, I'm in the head of the HR department and you can call me Noah, no formalities please" he introduce.

I gently nod. I am so damn nervous.

"well miss Langford, I have two news for you, one a bad and other a good, which you would like to hear first?" he told giving file to a girl.

" umm... Let's start with a bad one" I shrug and suggest.

"so what happen is that, the post you applied for...." he pause. " was given to someone." he told me. Causing me to frown.
