I put on my best fake smile.
Larissa Bailey
I'm Larissa.
Lucien Ivers
Well then, it's nice to meet you Larissa.
Larissa Bailey
(He seems like an easygoing person unlike...the other one... Augustine D'Angelo)
Lucien Ivers
You are a really talented dancer. So how long have you been dancing?
Larissa Bailey
Ah...I just dance as a hobby. Only when I get time.
He ponders something for a moment.
Lucien Ivers
...such a waste! I think you should put it to good use. You have amazing flexibility and posture too.
Larissa Bailey
I'm really honored. Thank you, Mr. Ivers.
Lucien Ivers
So... Larissa...
He chuckles and points at Augustine D'Angelo who's standing there quietly and listening to our conversation this whole time.
Lucien Ivers
What did you think of this guy's singing talent?
Lucien Ivers gives Augustine a teasing smile.
Augustine D'Angelo
...stop smiling at me like that. You're annoying!
Lucien Ivers
Oh? Let's listen to this missy how she feels
They turn their gazes towards me anticipating my answer.
Larissa Bailey
(He sounded horrible...but I can't tell him that)
Larissa Bailey
Uh..you have an amazing voice... almost like an angel from heaven.
Augustine D'Angelo lifts his eyebrows questioningly as if he can see I'm lying. He's totally not convinced.
Lucien Ivers looks at me curiously.
Larissa Bailey
Also your singing has the ability to take lives..ah... I mean give lives....
Larissa Bailey
(Sh*t! I messed up!)
I look at Mr. Ivers to see as if he's trying to hold a laugh.
While Augustine D'Angelo is giving me a death glare.
Mr. Ivers breaks down in laughter unable to hold it anymore
Lucien Ivers
Pfft haha... you're really an interesting girl.
Lucien Ivers
Now this sounds way honest.
Larissa Bailey
I...I didn't mean that!
I still see Mr. D'Angelo glaring at me
Augustine D'Angelo
Haah! Not funny!!!
Lucien Ivers
You'll scare the little missy with that intimidating face of yours.
Augustine D'Angelo
I don't need advice from you!
Lucien Ivers
No wonder you're single.
Giving me a last glare, Augustine D'Angelo leaves.
Lucien Ivers
I hope he cools down. I don't know why he's angry all the time.
Lucien Ivers
Here's my business card. If you ever need a job just give me a call.
He winks at me with a charming smile.
Larissa Bailey
Thank you Mr. Ivers. I'm grateful
Larissa Bailey
(But I've already applied to their company as a personal assistant. Soon I'll have an interview)
He gives me a last smile and leaves.
Larissa Bailey
...(I wonder what working there will be like...)
I got up late as I was too tired due to yesterday's party.
I'm still in my night clothes as I head towards the kitchen.
I take a spot on the sofa. I'm welcomed by the aroma of fresh coffee.
Lucy
You're finally awake. Here's some coffee.
Larissa Bailey
Thanks Lucy.
We actually share a common kitchen which is downstairs.
Lucy
So...how was the party?
She sits beside me and hands me over some bread toasts.
Larissa Bailey
...nothing special, just so-so.
Lucy
Really? So you didn't meet any hot guys?
Larissa Bailey
...uh there were some...but not really my type.
Lucy
Oh, common Larissa. You look too serious sometimes. I don't know why, but I always feel like you're very distant and secretive.
Lucy
I feel like you should have fun. And maybe if you feel like...you can tell me what you feel.
Larissa Bailey
...Lucy... I think you're correct. Thanks.
Lucy
Who needs handsome guys, when you'll be having handsome bosses soon.
Lucy
You'll be joining Las Aegis enterprises, right?
Larissa Bailey
Yes, I have an interview tomorrow.
Lucy
I'll help you tomorrow. You've to look your best.
Yesterday evening after going shopping for hours, Lucy picked a few clothes for the interview
Larissa Bailey
...I'll wear this one.
Lucy
You're looking damn gorgeous. Go rule queen!
Larissa Bailey
Thank you for helping me so much. Even though you were busy.
As I walk in I'm mesmerized by the architecture.
I confidently walk in and ask the receptionist where I'm supposed to go.
I hope I'm looking alright and I don't make any mistakes. Even though I know Esmerian language, it's been a while since I've spoken.
I have to ace this interview or this will be the end. I can't fail. I'm here on a mission
I ask the receptionist and she guides me where I'm supposed to go. Apparently, "my bosses" have the whole floor to themselves.
I take the lift towards the highest floor. Once I reach there, I step out of the lift.
I was about to knock on the floor when-
Marilyn
What do you think you're doing?
A blonde woman stares at me with an annoyed expression.
Larissa Bailey
I'm here for an interview for the job of a personal assistant.
Marilyn
Hah! You don't have to come here. There's no need for one when they already have one
Larissa Bailey
But I was told-
Marilyn
I don't care, just leave!
Larissa Bailey
(What's her problem exactly?)
Suddenly, I hear a voice from inside the door. It sounds very deep and masculine.
The voice: Who's there? Marilyn?
Marilyn
Um...boss...no one just someone lost their way. I'm guiding her.
Larissa Bailey
(Oh really?)
Larissa Bailey
May I come in sir?
Larissa Bailey
I'm here for the interview.
Marilyn
You!! I told you to-
She looks at me with an angered expression. I ignore her, push the door open and step in.
I find myself alone in a vast room with two handsome men. They stop whatever they are doing and gaze up to look at me.
Suddenly, I feel a bit nervous as they scrutinize me.
Alistair Levine
You must be Miss Bailey. Come take a seat.
I take a seat in front of them.
Larissa Bailey
(Here they are. My other two targets)
The other one just stares at me without saying anything. He's a bit intimidating.
Larissa Bailey
Good morning Mr. Levine and Mr.Silvius. I'm Larissa Bailey.
Larissa Bailey
It's nice to meet you both.
Alistair Levine
Then let's get started if you're ready.
First they asked me a few normal questions then a few questions here and there. I did my best to answer everything with confidence.
It seems like they're satisfied.
They discuss a few things with each other. As they were talking, I couldn't help but notice their flawless skincare and hair.
Larissa Bailey
(I wonder what hair products they use...)
They turn to look at me in bewilderment. As I come back to my senses I realize I said that aloud.
Larissa Bailey
(Sh*t! It's over!!!)
