Do what you practiced Bella, be confident don't mess up. You can do this

I can do this!!
Fuck! I can't do this, he's looking at me.
Is my makeup bad? Am I standing properly? Am I breathing too loud? Should I sit or wait for him to tell me to sit?
Why is it so hot in here? should I say something, should I smile? Fuck me, he looks so intimidating

GREET HIM YOU FOOL!!

"G...Good day Sir"
Way to go Bella, you just embarrassed yourself. Everything I practiced flew out the window

"Will you have your seat or keep staring at me"

Holy Shit! Fuck! Fuck! His voice is deep. Behave yourself Bella, stop embarrassing yourself

"So Ms. Shredder..."

"It's Schneider sir" I interrupted

BIG MISTAKE !!!

Oh goodness, he's now glaring at me

"Sorry sir"

You need to be careful Bella, one mistake and you'll be blacklisted in the country. Fuck this country, I'll be blacklisted in the whole world

He was throwing daggers at me with his grey stormy eyes and I felt like burying myself in the ground but at the same time his eyes were mesmerizing and I don't want to look away. His eyes are so perfect and his face, damn those magazine pictures and TVs didn't do justice to his look, he looks even more handsome in real life

"You're from France, but your English is quite remarkable"

Did he compliment me?
Oh my gosh he complimented me

Focus Belle

"W...Well sir, I lived in England till I was 16yr before i moved to France"

"Reason?" He eyes were focused on the file on his desk which he was going through. I felt a little confident as he wasn't looking at me

"My mum is French so when my parents passed, I went to leave with my grandpa"
I lost my parents and my twin brother, I had therapy and got over it but talking about it still hurts

"You worked as an intern initially?"

"Yes sir"

He kept asking me different questions and I answered all of them, those people were being quite dramatic...
Oh who am I kidding, I'm not sure I'm gonna get this job
I answered some questions well ONLY when he wasn't looking at me with those grey stormy eyes, but at one glance everything I wanted to say flew from my head and began to stammer like an idiot.

I don't know if I got the job or not, he said we'll receive a message this evening of whether or not we got the job. But one thing I'm sure of is that Mr. Delgato is not very fond of me, I could seen the anger in his eyes whenever i stammered

"...C'est pire que j'imaginais El, he looked so intimidating" I was ranting about my entire interview to El
(...It's worse than I imagined El)

"Ce n'est pas le point actuellement, je veux savoir s'il y avait une tension sexuelle entre vous deux"
(That's not the point right now, I want to know if there was any sexual tension between the both of you)

"Oh goodness Eloise!!!" I palmed my forehead

"What?"

"Ici, je me déroute à quel point mon entretien est allé et tout ce que vous vous souciez de savoir s'il va avoir des relations sexuelles avec moi ou non. Vous savez qu'il est sorti de ma ligue et de votre information, il ne semblait pas intéressé par moi"
(Here I am sulking about how bad my interview went and all you care about is whether he's gonna have sex with me or not. You know he's way out of my league and for your information, he didn't seem interested in me)

Wow, that hurt to say more than i thought he would but its the truth. I don't think he'll ever look at me that way, which is a good thing because I wouldn't want anything weird going on between us when I get the job... If I get the job

"Oh, c'est un bummer. Mais sur une échelle de 1 à 10, quelle est la chaude est-elle dans la vraie vie"
(Oh, well that's a bummer. But on a scale of 1 - 10 how hot is he in real life)

"A hundred, no a million. He looks like freaking Adonis"

"Not surprised" she sighs making me chuckle, she's more of a fan than I am
"Oh and, Avez-vous reçu un appel de Julius?" my mood completely changed as she said that
(have you gotten a call from Julius?)

"Pourquoi vais-je avoir un appel de lui? En outre, ce n'est pas comme s'il peut m'appeler depuis que j'ai changé mon numéro"
(Why will I get a call from him? Besides, it's not like he can call me since I changed my number)

Julius is just a typical stupid cheating ex that every girl has at one point in their life, he had been cheating on me with someone I used to call my friend. We were together for three years and he had been cheating on me for the past 6 months

That was weeks ago and my mind has been busy with work so I got over him quickly. Although he had been trying to call me so I changed my number

"Sorry for bringing it up"

"No no, it's fine. I'm way over him" am I?

"Parlons de quelque chose de plus pertinent et valant notre attention, quelqu'un comme votre patron chaud "
(Ok,let's talk about something more relevant and worth our attention, someone like your hot boss"
"Boss's boss Eloise" I said laughing

Talking to her is the only fun thing I've done since I got here. After our little chat, I decided to make dinner
The apartment was already packed with groceries so I didn't have to go shopping which is a good thing. I made spaghetti and meatballs for dinner with homemade Orange juice

While eating my phone rang

"Hello?"

"Hello, is this Ms. Schneider?"

"Yes"

"Congratulations, we're calling to inform you that you've been selected as one of the employees for XCorp..."
I didn't even let her finish before I screamed in excitement. Oh my gosh!!! I actually got the job, I don't have to leave this apartment, Pops will be so happy, I didn't disappoint Mr. Baron and most importantly I won't get blacklisted

"Oh my, so sorry for screaming. I'm just so happy"

"It's okay miss. You'll begin your work tomorrow as his secretary and all Mr. Delgato's schedule along with some other things will be emailed to you"

"Okay Ma'am, I will... wait? Did you say secretary?"

"Yes, you'll begin your work tomorrow as his secretary"

I have to work as his secretary???? No No No, I can't do it, how will I be able to concentrate and he already hates my guts. Now I have to see him everyday, did he choose me to work as his secretary? And I have to start working Tomorrow? I don't even have any good outfit for my first day of work, I didn't expect we'll begin work Tomorrow. And it's too late to by a new one that'll fit to his standards, and how the fuck will I pack my hair? What if the cab I enter breaks down and I go to work late? Is he going to-

"Hello Miss? Are you there?"

"Er... Yes, yes I am. Thank you very much ma'am"

"Ok, goodbye"

As she hung up the phone I just dropped it on the table and kept staring at it with my appetite long gone
