Maria woke up early took a shower and did her skin care. She checked her phone and whispered to herself.

"I swear to god if this man also turns out to be a pervert I'll lose my temper today. I am so tired...I should get ready."

*She said and started getting ready. She soon left her apartment which was in a posh area and headed her way out to this new workplace for her interview in her black Audi R8. She made it just in time and was asked to sit outside the meeting room of this new workplace.

...Ω Ω Ω Ω Ω Ω Ω Ω Ω Ω Ω Ω Ω Ω Ω Ω...

Alex is seated in his office, the CEO of his brand, something he worked on from his childhood, building it from scratch, without anybody's help.

Maria sits outside, waiting for the woman at the desk, to ask, to call you in, for your interview, to apply for a job in his company.

"Interviewer 4, please get inside." The receptionist smiles.

Maria nodded and went inside the meeting room where the interview was taking place, the person before her seemed to be in a sad almost teary mood making Maria believe the interview was gonna be a hell of a deal

She was wearing a black suit with a black shirt and black boots, she had her hair down and she was wearing golden earrings, nose ring, and rings, she wore a maroon-ish red lipstick that matched her nails and she had her whiskey-scented perfume on. She pulled out the chair for herself and asked for a sitting

Maria: Good afternoon Mr. Alex, May I?

Alex: Afternoon Miss Maria, please take a seat.

*After Maria sat\, he spoke*

Alex: As you know, I am looking for a personal assistant. Your work experience is low although I am still giving you a chance. I do not like to waste time so I'll keep it short for both you and me. I have three important questions. Tell me about your personality during work, will you be able to do overtime and why should I hire you?

Maria: *nods after listening to the questions* First of all\, thank you for considering me regardless of my low work experience. Secondly\, about your question regarding my personality during work\, I tend to stay formal during my work. I do not to waste the time of others and myself. As much as I believe there should be social interaction\, for me they tend to hinder my work ethic further lowering my performance. Yes\, I can do overtime but I'd like to know about it at least 3 hours before so in case I have some plans that could be postponed or if they are urgent I could get done with those early. I should be hired because I can give you what you want without hindering your personal life. I am good at organizing hence I can make a schedule for you every week sorting by priorities without tiring you as a human being and when I am left with no work\, I can help the team with getting their projects done.

Alex: *Nods while looking at her resume* Very well\, two more questions. I heard you and I am quite impressed with the level of confidence and choice of words but how much of what you said was true and what matters to you the most in professional terms? You can be honest.

Maria: I meant whatever I said. I like organizing and to organize someone’s professional life seems so fun for me. Its almost thrilling for me considering all needs and wants but also not tiring the person out and secondly, if I am being honest, money matters. Your company is paying quite a good price for PA and I cannot let that go.

Alex: *looks at Maria with a somewhat surprised* Wouldn’t you say your answer is too upfront?

Maria: I was asked to be honest plus sugarcoating is tiring.

Alex: *smirks a little* I am not going to lie Miss Maria but I am enjoying this interview so far.

Maria: *smiles softly and nods* I am glad you are enjoying.

Alex: I am gonna let you know something. I do not have room for mistakes and I want my work done nicely with no errors. I speak my mind and I could be quite blunt. Can you handle that?

Maria: Bluntness is fine with me but if bluntness in your book is being dismissive and outright just rude, then it could be a problem. I try to keep my temper in check but injustice, dismissiveness and treating me like an object triggers me.

Alex: *nods* very well\, one more question\, why did you leave your previous job?

Maria: You want honesty or sugarcoating?

Alex: *smiles* Honesty.

Maria: The person I was a PA for was a pervert and a sexist. He tried to take advantage of me while I was asked to ‘overtime’. It was scary and I am still not healed from it yet, but I hope you’re not like that… not that your words could help that fear of mine but

Alex: *his eyes widen a little* I am really sorry for that\, and no\, you could be rest assured I am not like that. If you want you can have a whole cubicle outside my office instead of us sharing the room and we could have another female staff with us.

Maria: *smiles cheekily* You see\, I got you. So my job is confirmed and no need for all that whole different cubicle thing. Its alright\, I really appreciate your generosity though.

Alex: *smiles and nods as he leans back* You’re quite a sharp-minded woman. Yes\, you’re hired. Congratulations.

Maria: *smiles* Thank you very much. When do I start?

Alex: Straight to business? I like that. Next week, 9AM sharp and I’d like you to maintain the same attire. I love my coworkers and workers in suits. Skirts are quite impractical for a workplace, I hope that doesn’t offend you.

Maria: No, rather I agree, skirts are quite impractical as they’re hard to walk in but each their own. I prefer formal trousers and I’ll do just that

*Maria said and smiled*

After a few more moment of chit-chat, they proceeded with the legal documentation of Maria’s work contract and then Maria left.

New writer this side. Apologies for future mistakes and errors. I hope you enjoy my work and support it as much as possible.
