Chapter 1 - Joyce Tan

"Ahh, another one again" Joyce thought as she took the arm of the man who was lying on the ground, put it on his back and raised it up to the upper part of his back, the man moaned in pain in response.

"Don't ever bother any other lady again, do you understand?" Joyce said as she raised the man's arm higher and twisted the man's arm.

"Uhh-ahh, y-yeah ... yeah yeah ahh" said the man between screams of pain.

"Well, I hope so ... Miss excuse me here is your wallet, did someone call the police?"

She asked as she handed the wallet to the young woman who looked at her with bright eyes full of admiration, she smiled awkwardly at that. A boy who seemed to be 16 years old responded with a redness on his face "Yes, miss is on the way."

"Ok, thanks for that" Joyce thanked with a beautiful smile on her face that made everyone who was there blush and gasp, Joyce who did this while looking at her watch on her wrist did not notice, he was already running late for the job interview.

"Miss, I have to go, I'll leave the rest to you, take care of yourself, please" he said goodbye as he gave the young woman a gentle squeeze on the shoulder to run to the interview site and left the entire crowd behind.

"God, she is the most beautiful and strong girl I have ever seen in my entire life" The young woman exclaimed excitedly.

"If his golden eyes are so bright, unique and deep that with one look I take my breath away" The young man next to him also said with bright eyes.

And so more people were added to the "Joyce Tan" fan list without her knowledge.

Joyce arrived on time for a few minutes for her job interview in one of the most famous coffee shops in the city, owned by one of the most successful business groups in the business world and in the country V. The Marshall coffee shop was one of the projects commercials of the Gray group.

"Woah, I like it" Joyce said excitedly as she scanned the entire cafeteria and entered.

"If it's just one word to describe it, it would definitely be Modern," he thought to himself. The theme of the cafeteria was 'Old Rock', it had paintings with half a realistic photo and the other half caricature of legendary rock bands and soloists. The walls had dark colors and Tom Dixon lamps and the cabinets with the the products on display. They also adorned a small terrace with the main instruments the drums, guitar and bass as a tribute to the famous concert on a terrace of a historic rock band.

Joyce came out of her admiration when she saw the place where the interviews would take place according to the email they sent her; the manager's office.

"Thank goodness I have the latest interview number." He smiled at his own thoughts, suddenly hearing footsteps approaching.

"Next, Miss Joyce Tan please come in" I hear the voice of the woman with large round glasses, wearing a black skirt that ended a little below the knee and a white shirt with long sleeves. Joyce found her cute because of her clumsiness when walking in heels.

"If thanks, don't strain your feet so you can walk better," he advised with a smile as he entered the manager's office. The woman had a shocked expression, but as soon as she composed herself, she bowed and closed the door.

There was a middle-aged man behind the desk, he had brown hair and dark eyes.

"Good afternoon sir, I'm Joyce Tan" greeting.

"Good afternoon Miss Tan, my name is Matías Long, manager of the Marshall cafeteria, sit down" said the man with a wide smile and a look that Joyce knew, but afterwards there was only a serious look so he discarded it as he sat down.

"Well miss Tan this job can be random one day it can be at the checkout and the other as a waiter, is that okay?" he started out he seemed to be asking if he could get the job done smoothly.

"Yes sir, I have a lot of agility with my hands and cope with the situation quickly like this in my resume" he answered calmly.

He might seem weak from his looks, but he is a black belt in martial arts and in taekwondo he is Sajiun (Teacher).

"Is that so?" the manager said.

"I can see on your resume; He is only 19 years old, but he has excelled in his studies, especially in the sports area… But he has no experience working, this would be his first job. Why do you want to work? " he asked as he looked into her eyes.

"To pay for my tuition at the university, sir," Joyce said in a cold voice, I had researched what questions they would ask in an interview and this was not one of the questions I had imagined.

"Ok I understand Miss Tan we need young people for a better job, the training will be here tomorrow at 8:00 AM, you can leave" he finished with a half smile.

"I understand then thank you sir" replied Joyce.

He sighed to himself as he left the office he could feel that he was watching her.

'I hope everything goes well' he thought as he left the cafeteria.
