After that day Rene slowly became lively again. A person just needs to stay in reality to not be depressed. Elva, herself is someone who experienced it first-hand. We human live in imagination most of the time. We never noticed it properly and suffer in imagination too. Not only that, but we convince our mind to suffer and gets accustomed to it. It is actually scary how we dig our own grave without knowing.
Elva decided to go for an interview the next day. She also decided to move to out.
"Elva which company will you go first?"
Rene came in holding a hot cup of milk. She is in her cute ShinChan pajamas that she didn't wear for a long time. It was Shawn who didn't like it, so Rene actually compromised for him. Elva felt a bit of pity. Some people give up on their favorite things just for someone who they like, and they aren't even cared for. I hope Rene finds someone who is worthy for her.
"Elva!"
"Huh?"
Elva snapped out of her thoughts. She shook her head and said, "Yeah, I was thinking about something. What were you saying?"
Rene exposed a helpless sigh and repeated, "I asked which company you plan to go for interview first?"
Elva replied, "I didn't prioritize for now." She added reluctantly, "I laze around for months in your care. I don't even want to go now. Rene, you have spoiled me rotten."
Rene chuckled and placed the milk cup down on the side table, "You are my Princess, Elva. Of course you deserved to be spoiled."
They both laughed and stayed talking till late night.
The next day.
Rene dropped Elva at her first interview company. It is called RW conglomerates. It is very prestigious and promising company under CEO Raphael Winter. The youngest and most famous person of upper echelon.
Elva doesn't want to mess up the interview. She looked at all the places and asked the receptionist for help. It was a while later when she arrived at the interview hall.
There are many people. Many retouched their makeup and went in one after another. Elva looked at their high heels and her own short heels. She felt ashamed for a second. Although she is taller than most girls, she doesn't need heels. But, it was her wish to actually wore one confidently, without any fear of falling of course. Sadly this talent, God didn't give to her.
Elva sighed internally and refocus on the number of the interviewee went inside. She felt so bored and pulled out her phone to look through the news and also saw a message from Rene.
"Best of luck my Princess. (◠‿◕)"
Elva smiled and replied hurriedly.
Soon it was her turn. She took a deep breath and calmly walked inside the interview hall. It isn't like she didn't give any before. Whatever question is asked if she knows that's good, if not, it will just be a lesson for the next interview. She repeated it a few times and calmed her messy mind.
Before her sat five people behind a long table, three men and two women. One man in the center, wearing a dark gray suit and glasses, seemed to be the leader. The others, a cheerful woman with a bright scarf, a stern-looking older man, a young man quietly taking notes, and a calm woman with a soft smile watched her carefully.
Elva stepped forward and greeted them politely. “Good morning.”
The man in the center looked up. “Please, have a seat.”
“Yes, sir.”
“You are Elva Snow?”
“Yes.”
“Good. Elva, tell us something about yourself.”
Elva calmly introduced herself, speaking clearly about her education and experiences. The interview went on longer than she had expected. The five of them took turns asking questions, some about her studies, some about her skills, and even a few about how she handled pressure. None of the questions were difficult for her. Elva had always loved learning, so she answered each one with ease.
When the questions finally slowed, an uneasy silence filled the room. The interviewers exchanged quiet glances but said nothing.
Feeling the unusual situation, Elva asked softly, “If the interview is over, may I go back now?”
One of the men cleared his throat and smiled awkwardly. “Please wait a moment,” he said. “Our CEO would like to meet you.”
Elva was stunned. She wanted to ask them why? But the door opened at that exact time. She looked back only to see an irresistibly heavenly man standing tall. He seems to be covered in obsidian and lethal light. However, why would someone like him come here for her?
Elva felt confusion and also nervous. She stood up trying to calm down.
The people inside the room stood up and greeted him with a bow. Actually Elva isn't his employee, at least not now, but she, nonetheless, bowed a bit.
Elva looked up and saw him closely and clearly… This face....why would he have such a disastrous face? She can't understand the God's creation. Even the woman, she has seen till now, can't compete to him in the Beauty contest.
Elva stood speechless inside but oddly calm in the surface.
Raphael looked at her deeply and asked, "Miss, Elva Snow, how many languages are you proficient in?"
His voice is so appealing but with such indifference... Elva replied slowly, "I can speak up to five to ten languages."
The people in the room gasped. Shocked apparently.
Raphael glanced at the man behind him. He appeared to be around 60 years of age. As if he got order, the man talked in Russian.
"Как у вас с уровнем владения русским языком?"
"Я использую русский язык уже восемь лет." Elva replied calmly.
The both of them continued for several minutes in different languages. In japanese, French, Italian, and others. The man smiled saying at last, "Young lass, you surely are a talent!"
Elva smiled, "Senior is being too generous with praises. I'm just an average."
The people around them couldn't listen to such things. 'Young lady! You are a genius Alright!!!'
The old man asked curiously, "Why did you resign from your earlier job?"
Elva responded, "I had a major heart surgery a month ago. My previous city's pollution and poor medical facility made me come here."
Everyone began to give condolences. The five interviewers also joined. Elva felt weird getting so much attention suddenly. She just wants to return to Rene now.
Raphael was just looking at her and didn't say anything for a while. It was just when her patients was at her end, he said, "You will be my secretary. There are many works at the office, so I hope you will join soon."
Words flew effortlessly through his thin lips opening and closing a bit. Maybe it's his voice that being deep. Making it sound melodious and attractive. Elva smiled at him, "I will join from day after tomorrow. I have to move to the new apartment from my friend's."
Raphael didn't question anymore and giving an affirmative nod he left with his old man.
However, Elva felt that he had wanted to say something to her. But she soon forgot about it.
