Virginia shot up straight from her
bed as she realized she awakened a bit late. She looked up at the alarm clock
and realized she was late. She jumped from her bed and hurried to the bathroom
and took a quick shower before she rinsed herself immediately. Choosing a
corporate look for her interview, she settled herself with blue long blazer
gown and a gold belt to complete her look. She put on her glasses to keep a
moderate girl next door look just before she snatched her handbag and hurried
downstairs. She hugged both her parents and took a few sip of the coffee before
she headed straight to her black Mini Cooper. She drove off to the building
that spelled Cosmo Tower 69 and headed straight towards the parking lot. The
route to the place was quite confusing and she had to use her GPS to track the
right road to follow.
She tapped the front desk, “Hi, I’m
Virginia and I’m here for an interview.”
Smiling, the blonde-haired woman
from the front desk pointed the way, “You can take the right elevator. You
should stop by the 20th floor and then turn left.”
Virginia nodded and thanked her as
she went. When she waited for the elevator, she found that most of their staffs
were males and she was feeling a bit awkward. It’s the same feeling as if you
are a girl in all boys changing room. But the great thing was, all the guys
from this company were exceptionally good-looking and they having these
muscular bodies that she could spend hours admiring. As she noticed it was on
level 20, she immediately slipped her way between these buffed dudes and
hurried to the left. Then she met a beautiful secretary, Mona who was a
brunette like hers too and she was wearing a slinky red short dress.
She greeted her, “Hi, I’m here for
an interview. Do you know where Mr. Xavier’s office is?”
“So you are coming here for the
Conceptual Director position?” she asked briefly.
Virginia smiled and nodded, “Yes and
I’m quite lost around here.”
She took her hand and showed her the
way, “Follow me; it is just at the end of this corridor.”
“Oh my God, thank you so much. You
have been so kind to me.”
She smiled and walked away,
returning to her place.
Virginia stood there nervously and
she closed her eyes and took a few deep breathes, as she knocked the door
twice. She heard a familiar voice calling her in and she slowly walked into the
room and immediately enthralled by its spaciousness and stunning city view. She
turned to look at the corner and found a sleek, tall and muscular figure
lounging on his chair looking away at his window. And the next thing she knew,
he stood up and invited her in.
“So you have found the place. Is it
hard for you?” he asked as she stood inches before his desk.
Virginia smiled hesitantly, “I’m
fine with it. Well actually it’s quite near.”
He turned to look directly at her,
observing her, “So are you ready for our session?”
She held her files tight against her
chest, “I’m ready.”
“Excellent, so let us start in just
a moment. I’ll inviting few of our directors here to see you.”
Shit, she wasn’t used to
communicating with so many people. And she swore that she would do it terribly
if more than one people were looking at her while she was presenting. She took
a few deep breathes and calmed herself as she saw few handsome gentlemen walked
in and sat next to Quincey facing her. He whispered at one of his handsome
friend and they smiled slyly while the other guys observed her with lust
displayed in their eyes. She just hoped that this interview session would go okay
and she could start working as soon as possible.
Quincey started the session, “Can
you start by introducing yourself first?”
Virginia smiled as she started, “I’m
an advertising and design graduate from Harvard.”
Stephen Harker, the next guy with
dark brown hair added, “How many years of experiences do you have in this
related field?”
She mustered her fake smile and
continued, “I’m a natural born artist. I’ve worked for 5 years in this industry
and I have achieved few milestones as mentioned in my files on your desk.
Please take a look if you need more proof.”
After a few questions, everybody
stood and thanked her for her time. Soon as many of his peers left, Quincey
approached her and handed her the files back. He smiled as he looked deeply
into her eyes. She could feel her heart skipped a beat. Quincey was so charming
and extraordinarily handsome. As if he was descended from above, an angelic
perfect face with Adonis-like muscular body to match. Besides he was very tall
and from his gestures, she could tell that Quincey was a romantic person.
Wearing a black suit with white dress shirt, he looked ready to seduce. His
iced blue eyes are layered with shades of amber and his face was sculpted as if
he was made out of perfect jewel. His high cheekbones and luscious lips already
made her knees buckled. His caramel blonde hair was wavy, made her eager to run
her hand on it.
He braced one arm on the wall and
pinned her, “So when can you start?”
Her eyes widened and she covered her
mouth with her palms, “I get the job, really?”
“Yes and I know you have the talent
we needed for the position. So how soon can you start?”
Virginia held her files closely
against her, “Any time I guess. I don’t know what to say.”
Quincey held his hand, “Welcome to
Cosmo 69? I’m looking forward to work with you.”
She smiled as she turned around and
exited the room. Quincey looked at her with unmasked lust in his eyes. Finally
it’s time to welcome another sexy woman into his lair. He would devise a plan
to get close to her. But he realized that Virginia was not the kind of person
that can be easily lured into a man’s bedroom. He never had seen such beautiful
and stunning woman in his entire lives and he determined to make her his at any
cost. He had others before her but he never crazed for someone this badly. It
was slowly becoming a sinful obsession. If she was able to start soon then he
could start his seduction sooner.
On her way back, she bumped into her
old friend Daphne Keegan, the plain dark-haired gal with pale complexion.
Dressed casually for summer, Daphne settled for long pants and striped tops
showing her a bit of simplicity. Daphne invited Virginia to her house and they
walked together hand in hand while they talked about everything from love
relationship to career. Daphne was now an editor for a business magazine and
she shared all the hot stuffs with her friend. Virginia cried as she heard
about the journey that her friend had gone through.
“So how was Cosmo 69, I heard you
went for interview there?” she nudged at her.
Virginia sighed as she munched her
chips, “It’s cool and mysterious. It’s weird.”
Daphne shot her skeptical look,
“What is it that you are not telling me?”
Another sigh, Virginia turned to
face her friend, “Why is it that all the workers there were all males. Well
it’s not like I’m complaining but it just very awkward.”
“So you are working in an all male
company. So what’s the fuss?”
Virginia stopped by a cafeteria and
dragged her friend along, “Well they were looking at me like I’m some sort of a
treat.”
Daphne grabbed her friend and looked
at her, “Be honest, are you comfortable there or not?”
Virginia shook her head and walked
into the café as they continued talking and gossiping about each other. Once
they finished, they went for an evening walk before they headed home. Daphne’s
apartment was moderate and cozy. Virginia loved the feeling reflected by this
place and it made her felt a bit calmer. Daphne went to kitchen and returned to
the living room, bringing a tray with a jug of lemonade juice. Virginia inhaled
the aromatic scent of the lemonade and breathed. It took all her worries away.
She wanted to let go all the things that happened this morning. Hoping that her
day tomorrow would be perfect she finally went to sleep after spending the rest
of the night talking to her best friend.
