Chapter One
My job interview is in an hour, I cannot believe I may have a chance to be working at Star Industries. Hopefully, I get the job as an assistant I really do not want to wait tables at the Olive Garden for the rest of my life. Star Industries will give me the opportunity to investigate the business and how everything works, I want to know what I need to open my own business one day. I am only 21 and starting my own company is important to me. If I get the job, I will be able to help and work with Alex Underwood he is the youngest billionaire in New York. Underwood started his business when he was 17 and it took off, people fell in love with him he was meant for the upper class. Now he is 24 with a company that is worth billions. I picked an outfit three days before the interview, I changed it over 5 times, but I have made my final decision on what I will wear. I am super nervous; I hope I won't get judged to harshly. I look at the outfit laid out neatly on my bed, I pick up the pure white shirt and put it on, I grab the thin black tights and carefully pull them all the way up to my waist. I look at the two skirts on my bed, I wasn't able to decide whether to go with the black one that is a bit short as it doesn't quite reach my knees or the grey one that slightly goes past them. I look carefully thinking which one would suit my personality more, the black one is good as I'm young and it will show I'm a bit of a risk-taker coming to an interview with a skirt which may be a tad too short. The grey one is more professional, but I have a feeling I won't be very comfortable, and it will make me feel older than I actually am. I look at the clock and panic sets in my stomach, I only have 30 minutes until my interview and the drive is about a 10-minute journey I don't want to be on time I have to be early, to show that I'm punctual. Come on Alice get a grip you cannot stand here all day deciding what skirt to wear! I thought to myself. I grab whatever skirt was laid out first on my bed and pull it up to my waist, tucking my shirt in; I grab my black blazer of the hanger and head to the bathroom.  I have to make sure there's nothing in my teeth I can't risk the interviewer concentrating n something other than why I'm good for the job they are offering. I look into my mirror above my bathroom sink and check myself over making sure I have no stains, food in my teeth, and my blonde hair is tightly tied up in a high bun with nothing sticking out. "Good enough" I whisper, I head out and step down 2 flights of stairs before getting to the parking lot. Before I enter my car that I have owned since I was 17, I check that I have all the documents I have been asked to bring. I scan them with my eyes carefully making sure I check off the checklist in my head. Passport? Check! Job references? Check! Information about my education? Check! Lastly my cover letter? Check! Ok, I can go now. I get into my car and drive to Star industries; throughout the whole journey, I keep doubting myself and thinking what if I'm not good enough? I am a nobody a poor girl that doesn't have a lot of experience in working behind a desk... There are so many other people out there that I am sure would be better for the job. As I park my car at the 'visitor' parking lot, my heart starts to thud harder than it ever did before at any interview in my life. I get out of my car and head to the large grey building, the building could easily hold 1000 employees if not more. As I enter I go up to the main desk where a beautiful lady is sat, she looks around her mid-twenties, her long black hair is free and she has a delicate amount of makeup, with her green eyes piercing right through me; if she wanted to she could be a model. She looks up at me and smiles "is there anything I could help you with?" she says delicately. I instantly snap out of my zone of adoring how pretty she is and reply "umm hi yes? I have an interview for the position of..." before I can say anything else, she interrupts me and asks "the assistant?", I nod clearly she could see right through me, I did not belong. The green-eyed lady gets up and says "follow me" which I do instantly. Before I know it I'm in front of a large door that is closed and I'm in the corridor I think it is the second floor but I was too nervous to register the journey here. The lady in a polite voice "sit here and wait your turn" she points to the chair on the side of the corridor I nod and sit on the chair she pointed at, she smiles and walks off with a twist in her step. I look around and cannot help but notice all the people around me, most of them are dressed smart and have folders in hands. Are all these people here for the job vacancy as well? I think unknowingly. My train of thought is interrupted by a tall handsome guy hovering over me, I look up and see him looking directly at me he says my name "Alice Grace Richmond? We are ready for you." Panic sets in if I was nervous before I can't describe how I'm currently feeling, I stand up, I can hear my heart racing, I feel every beat clearly. I swallow hard and head into the room that was opposite from where I was sitting. I walk in and the first thing I do is look around, the room looks very spacious, it has a long desk in the middle with chairs all around, there's a huge window straight as you walk in. The man sits down next to an older woman around forty she has short blonde hair and blue eyes; she is wearing a black formal dress and shiny black heels. Next to her is another man I'm pretty sure I recognize him from somewhere, but I can't put my finger on it. The man that just sat down gives me a smile and says "misses Richmond you may take your seat" he gestures to a chair opposite them, I give him a smile in return and calmly say "yes, thank you" I held back the shake in my voice they can't know I'm nervous. The man continues and says "I am Elijah this is Margret and Alex" as he introduces everyone I can't help but look at Alex, I knew I recognized him; I wasn't sure as there is only one picture of him online I could never find anymore. Elijah speaks again "do you have the documents we requested?" I immediately answer "oh yes, here they are" as I hand him my folder with all the documents Alex speaks his voice sounding very deep and confident "so why do you want to work for me? And most importantly why would you suit this job?" I eagerly reply "Well Mr. Underwood, I want to work for you because I am interested in business and I hope by working here I will improve my knowledge further, and I would suit the job because I'm a hard worker and determined" Alex interrupts me and looks me in the eyes, I'm suddenly feeling very hot I feel my cheeks to slightly red as he says almost in a whisper "What do you really want Richmond?" I look at him confused but try to answer his question honestly "I-I want, I need the money the job offers" there was something about Alex that made me tell him the truth, maybe it was his engulfing blue eyes. He looks at me again with a poker face and says, "okay that's everything, we will give you a call if you get the position." He gets up and walks me to the door. Before I can say anything I'm already outside the room and the door is closed behind me. Wh-wh-WHAT JUST HAPPENED? I screwed up I should not have said I just wanted the position for the money. What was I thinking?! I guess I'm going to be waiting tables for the end of eternity I'm so stupid!  I really needed this job to afford all of my bills!  What am I going to do now?!  Thoughts start racing my mind I can feel the heat in my cheeks and the tears fighting to just pour out of my blue eyes, at that moment it felt I was holding back a whole ocean of tears. I walk downstairs out of the building, the only thing left to do is to go home and stuff my feelings down with ice cream.
