{MANHATTAN, CROSS INDUSTRIES INTERNATIONAL}
The glass walls of Cross Industries International (CII) stretched high above the city skyline, gleaming like a crown of steel and ambition.
Olivia Sinclair stood in front of CII clutching her small leather folder against her chest as if it could shield the weight of the place.
She had never seen anything like it, she was really standing in front of one of the biggest industries worldwide and this place was run by no one other than The Adrian Cross.
CII is a multinational conglomerate with 3 major sectors,
•Technology and innovations; cutting edge AI, cybersecurity and software solutions
•Media and Entertainment; global talent management and music production subsidiary
•Luxury Lifestyle Brands; from high fashion, jewelry to luxury cars
This crazy combination of an industry was built by Johnathan Cross, Adrian's late father, but right now Adrian has taken the company to an invisible level.
Breathing out, she adjusted the sleeves of her plain blazer, the fabric already too warm against her skin. She hated how she felt uneasy. But she won't let her nervousness get in the way of today's interview. No,never.
She had heard tales about the man who runs this company which pushed her to conduct her own research. The information she got was just like any other, stating that Adrian Cross is a cold, disciplined man who doesn't joke about company affairs, but what intrigued her the most was that there's no picture of him on social media, which made her kinda worried because she doesn't know he looks like all she knows is that he's young and still in his 20s
Nevertheless, even if he acts or looks like a beast, it won't stop her from getting this job.
But the pounding in her chest wouldn't just stop.
“Calm down Olivia, it's just another interview,” she said to herself.
“You've done this before. You need this job,” she said again, breathing in and out.
She calmed herself, put on her sweetest smile, then stepped into the building.
