Mr. Walter took Eric and Jason around the school from different classes and departments to the costume units and the other classes, they stood by the vocal class as Mr. Walter enlightened them about the vocal class then
Eric's gaze caught the girl sitting on the first two chairs she was yawning and pushing some strand of her hair Eric couldn't help but be instantly captivated by the girl's beauty. Her long, flowing hair cascaded down her shoulders, and her eyes sparkled with a unique shade of green. There was a certain gracefulness in the way she shifted in her seat, as if even her most mundane actions held an aura of elegance. Eric's mind began to wander, and he found it increasingly difficult to focus on Mr. Walter's voice. He was too distracted by the mysterious girl, wondering who she was and what her story might be. He tried to shake off these thoughts and refocus on the tour, but his curiosity got the better of him. "do you understand now Mr. Eric" Mr. Walter said but Eric didn't respond he can't hear him call his name Mr. Walter look at Jason as Jason clears his throat he taps him slightly "boss..." Eric jolted and then shake his head to snap himself out of the daze "Did... You understand sir?" Mr. Walter ask Eric to rub his forehead though he didn't hear a thing he nodded positively "ok... Sir" Mr. Walter straightens his shoulder "This is the vocal class right?" He ask again, Mr. Walter's eyes widen surprised he just told them everything about the vocal class and he ask if this was the vocal class again. "Ye... Ye... Yes, sir" he responded "That girl with platinum hair color on the second sit" He points towards Abigail "Is she a new student here?" He asks "No sir all students in this vocal class are second-year students here"
"That means she was admitted two years back"
"Yes sir"
"Okay" he insert his right hand into his pocket and straighten his shoulder to face Mr. Walter "Get me that girl file," he said "I don't know her name sir" Mr. Walter responded "I don't care how you do it, I need her file and drop it in my office" he checks his time "you have only thirty minutes for that" he walks away. Mr. Walter's jaws drop he is so mean just thirty minutes to bring the file of a girl he doesn't know a thing about her or where her file was. He inhales sharply and straightens his shoulder he thought he is calm as he was on tv but no he is not calm he is super mean in real life "Is he always like that?" Mr. Walter asks Jason "Sometimes" Jason responded "Take my advice and look for the girl file before the thirty-minute pass if you still need your job," Jason said and leaves Mr. Walter clutch unto his hair so hard they have always had freedom in the school until he came, it is just his second day here and he has become fearful 'this is a real disaster'.
Eric was sitting in his large office painted in white, he rested his back on the chair closing his eyes his mind slowly drift back to the girl he saw in the vocal classroom he imagined the girl as Abigail, that's crazy Ashley hair is curly and she have some wrinkles on her face, but the girl hair is straight and there is no wrinkles on her face, she resemble Ashley but she is more beautiful than the Ashley he knew he was still fighting his thoughts when a knock came on the door, and he quickly sat upright "come in" he said and Mr Walter entered holding a document and place it in front of him Eric pick it and went through it, his eyes widen in shock as he flip the pages "her name is Ashley Campbell she was admitted two years back" Eric eyes widen as he look at Mr Walter then back at the document he flip through the last page and saw her photograph on the newly admitted form his heart pound against his chest she was indeed Ashley his best friend he close the document then look at Mr Walter, Mr Walter gulp his cold face was gone and what was left was a cool and pleading face "Mr Walter can... You... Please... Do me a favor?" He asks his lips trembling "Yes sir" Mr. Walter cock his head he commanded him minutes ago now is begging him for favor do we call this a mood swing "can you help me bring her to my office please?" He pleaded Mr. Walter got confused why will he beg him and why is he trembling "Okay sir" he turn his back and left, after he left Eric rubbed his face with one hand he was having headache already he didn't even think about it when he asks Mr. Walter to bring her to his office what was he thinking to have said that and what's he going to say to her when she gets here, he was very anxious to meet her that he had started talking nonsense already.
...
Eric was anxiously waiting for Ashley arrival it was an hour already why is she not here yet he tap his feet and check his time several times his heart was pounding against his chest and his whole body was tensed soon he heard a knock on the door he almost rise from his chair but he try to keep his cool he can't show her his anxiousness "come in" he said sitting up properly the door open steady footsteps approach him he grabs the armchair to stand up but he sits back why is he so bad at hiding something "sir?" Ashley's voice pull him out of the daze "You called?" She asks her both hands in front staring at him confidently "Ye... Ye... Yes, I called" He blink his eyes and cleared his throat "Why?" She ask, Eric, narrow his gaze reclining backward in his seat "I heard you were the best student in vocal class" He pick up his pen twirling it with his both hands "I think so" she responded, "but somehow your face looks familiar, have we met before?" He put his pen down narrowing his gaze at her as if he was looking inside her soul, he was expecting her to say yes but she did not "No we've not, there is no place on earth that we've met" she replied biting her lower lips "you sure?" He asks "I am sure"
"But you are Ashley Campbell"
"Yes, I am" Eric lowered his eyes maybe she did not recognize him or she is pretending not to because of what he did to her "Okay... The reason why I called you here is that I need a P. A and you are perfect for the job being the best student" Ashley scoffs "So you want me as your p.a?" She asks "Yes"
"Sorry I can't"
"Why?" Eric stand from his sit and take step towards her, Ashley clenched her fist she didn't want to let him get closer or she won't be able to hide her anger anymore she was afraid she would scream at him and before she knew it he was already in front of her cycling her "I am surprised that you rejected my offer so many people want the opportunity to work with me but you are rejecting me?" He halts behind her and Ashley makes a sharp U-turn to him in a state of shock "am still studying am not ready to work yet" she responded and a cold silence fills the room. Ashley takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself before she responds.
"It's not that I don't want to work with you, Eric," Ashley replies, her voice laced with frustration. "It's just that I believe I am not the right fit for the role of your personal assistant."
Eric raises an eyebrow, clearly taken aback by her response. "And why do you believe that?" he challenges, folding his arms across his chest.
Ashley takes a moment to gather her thoughts. "Firstly," she begins, "I think it's important for a personal assistant to have a strong background in organizational skills and administrative tasks. While I am capable of handling such responsibilities, I don't have the specific experience you may be looking for."
Eric tilts his head, still maintaining his stern expression. "Experience can be gained," he says. "I am confident in your abilities to learn and adapt."
Ashley nods, acknowledging his point. "I understand that, but I also believe in finding the right match for a position. If I took on this role without the necessary experience, it could hinder your productivity and lead to frustration for both of us."
for a moment, Eric appears deep in thought. Finally, he sighs and takes a step backwards, giving Ashley some space. "Alright," he concedes. "You can go" he added "thanks" Ashley took a deep breath letting out the anger she had conceal and leaves.
