It's a typical day at work the next day I'm just clocking out to go on break when Emily comes towards me "hey scarlet there's a man looking for you he's sitting over there" she motions to the table at the back Mr.Reid?! Quickly I walk to his table "please sit down" he smiles pointing to the chair in front of him "here I ordered you a coffee and a danish" I take a sip from the coffee strange it's exactly how I like it? "did something happen?" he chuckles "No everything is going well don't worry, now tell me about yourself? Do you only speak Italian?" I place the cup back down "no it's not the only language I speak. I know Italian, French, Spanish, and Japanese" all thanks to my father one of the few good things about growing up in his home. I see his eyes widen in surprise "really that's amazing...I'm going to get straight to the point we want to offer you a job as Hawthorne's personal assistant" my eyebrows furrow "I'm sorry but I don't think I could I've never done anything like that, besides I'm pretty sure he hates me" Mr.Reid chokes on his coffee clearing his throat he places his cup down he laughs "I can assure you he doesn't hate you trust me" grabbing a manilla envelope he hands it to me " look don't say no just yet that's the contract read over it and then decide I promise you its a great opportunity I wouldn't disregard it if I were you" he looks at his watch "unfortunately I have to go now all be waiting for your answer a favorable one I hope" I watch him walk out the cafe.
Trough the rest of my shift my eyes wander towards the lockers where I placed the envelope. Getting home that night I pulled out the sheets of paper looking over the contract I have to admit it really is a great opportunity and the pay is amazing. But I have my doubts I swear I felt Mr.Hawthorne doesn't like me. Should I really give up a good opportunity because the boss man might not like me? Fuck this shouldn't be that hard Scarlet!
Sitting in the back a deep sigh escapes my lips. "What's wrong scarlet?" he sees my hand on top of the envelope. "....ah I see still haven't made up your mind?" I lift my head up "I just don't know if its the right choice?" pulling the chair he sits in front of me "I've known you for almost two years now, and in those two years I've seen you grow taking any challenge head-on, you're a smart, kind, and beautiful inside and out you can't just stay here forever" he places his hand on top of mine "this is the next step in your life, don't worry about the what ifs, I know you'll do a great job." his squeezes my hand and smiles "as they say back home **Jusqu'à ce que vous déployiez vos ailes, vous n'aurez aucune idée de la distance à laquelle vous pouvez voler." (translation in comments) smiling I get up andgive him a big hug and a kiss on the cheek "Thank you, Jacque, you're right I guess this is my last day" I chuckle he smiles back "now go give them your answer" I clock out grabbing my things from my locker I sprint to there office building. Standing in front of the doors, I'm glad, I decided to wear my black skirt and white blouse to work today. I take a deep breath and walk through the doors.
