Woah. Woah woah woah WOAH.

I, genuinely, could not believe what I was seeing. It was like the universe.. heard what I had asked. Me. A not-so-special, 23 year old small-town girl, was being heard by someone for once!

I could celebrate this event with DoorDashing McDonalds and some icecream, but of course I won't be doing that. Or will I?

I'm so fucking drowsy and sick this morning.

I drowned my sorrows and my soul out at that jazz club last night. Seriously, I'm so ill I could create a barf cake. Sorry, that sounds absurdly rancid.

Anyways, I have places to be. I got up, stretched, showered, straightened my hair and since I've had more time to unpack I've found a great outfit that matches the entire Omelet company vibe.

I put on my best full-faced natural glam and walked out feeling like the next Regina George. I hopped in my car and did my research on the company.

"Omnilert is one of the top engineering companies in the world. It is the largest corporation in America and has locations in all continents. We pride ourselves in being ethical, professional and responsible for our designs and services."

Dude. I'm about to throw up. What the hell am I getting myself into? You know- it's fine. But.. there seems to be thousands of people competing for the PA. Let's see why.

"Omnilert's super sexy and young CEO has thousands of people competing for his attention! The young CEO is a prolific man, friends with the world's richest people and having an estimated wealth of 9.7 billion dollars at the age of 26 years old. He's known for his work ethic but also for his gorgeous face and body-"

I winced in embarrassment. This dude sounds like a complete prince but I'll bet it's because he pays the press. Whatever.

I've been waiting in my car for 10 minutes- my heart is racing. My bestie Irina and I have been on call for the past hour discussing this.

"Okay, so here's the summary of our gossip and chitchat. So, be organized, calm, give off the dark feminine vibes. Be effortlessly sexy my Melly. You can do this! Also make sure to speak in a super sexy and low tone and seduce him. Okay, I'm sorry. I need to go. Ciao my love!"

I walk into the office with confidence. The front lady looks me up and down. She seems to be quite old- in her 50's, yet very fashionable and pretty. She appears to be a rich woman as well.

"Are you here for the interview? My goodness, you're the prettiest candidate I've ever seen." She says.

I smile in my natural smile. The one that makes me look like a gummy bear. People say it's absolutely adorable but I'd digress. "Thank you miss. And yes, I quite frankly am."

She looks at me with a bit of a bittersweet look."Dear.. I may wish you the best of luck. Our CEO is quite picky.. but you're a beauty and you seem to be quite sweet. You're also lucky you came here before he left. The room he'll interview in is down there." She points.

I gulped. All the hours of research seemed to diminish in my mind as I slowly walked into the luxurious room and took in my surroundings..

Until I'd seen him.
