The Interview

Ashley's POV

Today was the day, the day I finally got my life together. It's currently 6am and my interview is at 8:30. Great, I have an hour and a half till I have to go. On my way to the bathroom I stop at my closet to grab a black pencil skirt and a white button up. After I go to the bathroom I started my morning routine. I washed my face brushed my teeth then combed my hair. After, I got in the shower for 30 min. I got out, blow dried my hair, crimped it, and was done. I put on small rose gold hoop earrings, powder pink eye shadow, eye liner, mascara, and a bit of lip gloss. On the way out I put on my black heals. Then I saw my roommate Lily.

"Hey Lil, I'm gonna go to my interview. I'll be back around 10. Bye! Oh, and have a good time with your girlfrieeeend!" I said, making her blush.

" Good luck on your interview. And stop it with the Melanie thing, I've already been dating her for 3 months. Get over it!" She says in a playful tone.

"Me, getting over it. Your funny. Anyway I gotta go. My interview starts in an hour and you know how New York traffic is. Bye!" I say, laughing, as I walk out the door.

On my way out I make sure my Uber is here and check the time. I should be there at most 15 min early. Good. As I get in my Uber I notice how he looks at me hungrily. Not in a lustful way but as if they haven't eaten in a while. A little weirded out I go on my phone and check the time for what seems like the 100th time. I don't know why I'm so nervous. It's barely 7:40, I still have plenty of time. I glance up to see the same hungry look in their eyes, at least they stopped starring at me.

Just like I predicted, I got there 15 minutes early. When I got inside, all that happened was more nerves. Everyone there looked so professional. After about 10 minutes of me sitting there, a girl called my name.

"Hello. My name is Alex. I'll be interviewing you today" she said sounding slightly robot-like.

"Hi" I responded shyly.

We went to a big conference room where she started asking me questions.

"What do you want from this job?"

"I want to be able to make enough money to pay rent and for food." 

"A lot of jobs can do that so why THIS one?"

"Well Black Corp treats rare and deadly illnesses. A long time ago my brother passed from cancer. Back then I felt so helpless so now I want to be able to make a difference for the people in the same situation"

"Ok, so now I would like t-

Just then we hear the door open and we look up. IT'S WESLEY BLACK! Alex stands up to greet him while I just sit there awkwardly.

"Mr. Black, what is it? I was just interviewing one of the candidates for your personal assistant" alex says in surprise.

"I just had some extra time and wanted to do it myself. They might be my personal assistant, right?" He says in a playful tone. I notice that he looks at me while he says that.

Well this interview just took a turn.
