Chapter 2 - 2. Maximilian

'Sir, time to wake up, you have one hour and fifty minutes to get ready'. My automatic alarm won't let me sleep in peace. Here I was alone, my muscles all relaxed, my eyes sore, and my hair was messy.

'Sir, time to wake up, you_', 'Automatic system off'. I got off my bed, my blanket wrinkled, and my pillow all squished because of my force. My reflection in the mirror showed my drenched face, but I still made it presentable, by shaving, flossing my giant white teeth, combing my brown hair, and finally blowing a kiss to myself.

My breakfast was simple, boiled eggs with bacon and some fresh fruits. I also added some Almonds this time. And there we have it, I was eating all alone, with no one to talk to.

I got dressed in my best attire, my shoes shined by my polish and my coat all ironed, I put on my shades and went straight to work. As I reached the doorway, almost everyone greeted me, well why wouldn't they, I am the CEO of this company.

The top floored was my office, and again I was greeted by my friend and secretary, Clark Doven. 'Good morning sir, how was your night?'.

'Good as always', I sat on my chair, 'So what's today's status, our estates must have gone high ever since the evening event'.

'That's right sir, our estates have gone high, even Anton Real Estates can't even beat our score'. I was delighted to hear that, but I still wanted a partnership with Anton Real Estates, not because of the company but because of_.

'Sir, are you listening? you have to attend the interview session, it's going to take place right after team manager meetings.' Clark had the nerve to distract me from my thoughts, an interview is going to take place for my new secretary cause Clark is getting married soon, he may look young but bro is twenty-nine. 

'Thanks for the update Clark, you can go now'. Clark exits, leaving me alone with my thoughts. Will I ever get married? Will someone like this face? What if they get scared by my physique? Well, you know what, whatever, I'm going to find someone soon and I bet they are going to love me.

After the morning meeting, I was found in the interviewing room, and was seated in between two people, to my right was the lovely Clark Doven, and to my left was the nasty evil witch Elvena Grnome. The place was calm and quiet, with all the interviewees outside, desperate for the position. We called our first interviewee.

A tall black-haired man, with sarcastic stares, his confidence bloomed in the room, that until he saw me. And I could feel his life meter hit zero, his face pale, he was shaking and as soon as he sat, I began.

'So, your name is Fedrick Hamlot, your resume says you studied abroad, could you elaborate your_'. Before I could finish he fainted, I had no idea what happened. Security came and took him away. The next interviewee was a female, who had quite good experience with managing skills, she looked young but I sensed a nasty attitude. She sat down and spoke about her career and spouted nonsense about how this company would be lucky to have her. Her name was Karen Darwin, and she was not what I wanted, good thing Elvena shooed her.

The interview went on for hours and more hours, but I still couldn't find the right secretary. Most people were scared and others were just inexperienced and show off. Finally, the last interviewee came, and she knocked twice before she entered, good thing she knew manners.

As soon as she entered, my eyes were locked on her. A dazzling beauty, with straight long black hair, and black eyes as a cat, and her long slimy yet healthy physique matched her dark blue suit. Even Elvena was surprised by her. The woman sat and looked straight at me, her eyes were cold yet they warmed my heart set ablaze, she looked calm and beautiful and it took us twenty seconds to pull ourselves back together.

'So your name is Margot Willer, you worked in ...', Elvena started the interview and asked some simple questions. Clark asked his base questions and asked about her experience. She answered them all with confidence and charisma, they all were speaking while I only got to know that her name is Margot Willer, she is twenty-six years old, she worked in a company in New York and that her experience in work was five years.

God, how can a beauty like that work, she should be a model or an actor, or maybe she is a celebrity, but we don't know that's for sure, I don't know who she was but she was killing this interview. 'That's all for today, thank you, Margot, for an amazing interview, we will inform the results this coming Wednesday'. Elvena finished the interview, I can't believe it was over, wait, I didn't ask her anything. I looked at Clark who looked pleased, Margot got up and exited herself.

I can't believe everything was over, god, how long was I watching her, Did she mind it? What if she felt uncomfortable? What if she doesn't show up?

So much was happening in my mind, Margot Willer, Just what kind of person are you?
