The Interview (2)

"But sir, you told me t-" Alex starts.

"And now I'm saying I want to interview her. Is there a problem with that?" Mr.Black states with authority.

"No sir, sorry sir" Alex responds.

And just like that Alex leaves and Mr.Black sits. He then looks at me with curiosity, as if I was a puzzle. Then he smiles. It's the kindest, most beautiful smile I've ever seen. And that's when I really took a look at him. He had dirty blonde hair and forest green eyes. He was very muscular but even then he looked very gentle. He was on the darker side of fair skin. Over all he looked good. Very professional but still had a casual smile.

"Hey! How was your day... Ms.Garcia?" He says enthusiastically while looking at my resume for my name.

"Oh, I'm. My day has been fine so far Mr Black. And Ashley or Ash is fine." I respond hesitantly.

"Haha, ok Ash. And Wesley or Wes is fine for me too. No need for formalities, you don't work for me yet. And even if you do, I've had enough formalities for more than a lifetime." I notice that he is a lot more friendly and genuine than Alex.

"Ok so first what do you want in life?" Guess this is the first question.

"Well mostly just to be able to life comfortably and to earn the life that I live" I state honestly.

"That's the first time I've heard that. Honestly from the moment I stepped through that door I knew you were a genuine person. I also knew you'd be perfect for my personal assistant. But first I have 1 more question. If the richest person in the world came to your door, asked for you specifically, and told you he would buy you anything you want for the price of you being his slave, what would you do?"

"Well I personally would have declined. But if this is a you have to say yes and ask for something scenario than I would have asked for the same thing I wish for every year. That they provide for my family whenever absolutely necessary because my family has always been stubborn and I know they would rather go homeless than ask for help" 

"You would ask for anything for yourself?" He asks like that's what he expected.

"No, as of now and hopefully forever, I have everything I need. I have friends, family, a roof over my head, and money to put food on the table" I state matter of factly.

"Ok. Your hired!" He says as Alex re-enters the room.

"What?!" Me and her say together.

"But sir there are still over 20 candidates waiting for an interview!" Alex says panicked.

"I don't care, this is the one" he says with fanality in his voice.

"Thank you sir! When do I start?" I say in joy.

"You can start now if you want" 

"That's good with me Wesley!" 

And just like that I'm at a modern white desk on the top floor with a very pissed looking Alex glaring at me.
