-Oh, my Gosh! I am so laaate!

Julia was desperate. She spent the night studying and lost track of time. Now, she is late for her job interview. Not just any job, it is the chance of a lifetime! The best enterprise in the engineering field, Crane's Designs, is looking for a new interior design. And they are accepting newly graduated people. They only require the best grades during College and new designs, all originals. And a test, of course. But she was confident!

-Jack, I have to go. Remember: take your medication at nine, okay? I won't be able to be here on time, so, be responsible, got it? Pray for me, because this job will save us!

The young man said nothing, only hugged her and gave her a kiss on the cheek. He loved his sister and knew she was doing her best.

She got out and looked at her wristwatch. Half an hour to be there! She calls for a cab and asks the driver to go as fast as he can. It's a life matter!

-Here, thanks! - she says, oppening the door to leave the car.

-Good luck, miss!! - the driver said. He knew that for someone to be this desperate, it must be a job interview.

She was so focused on running to the building that she did not see a man in front of her.

THUD!

Her butt hit the floor and that hurted like hell. She was about to curse the man, but she looked up and saw the most beautiful pair of green eyes she had ever seen. He was perfect. Strong jaw line, straight nose, just a bit plump lips, very masculine, broad shoulders.

-Are you done? Want a picture? It lasts more.

The man said in a cold tone. He couldn't believe how things like that could happen to him: another woman throwing herself at him. Now, during day light! How shameless!

-I am sorry! I didn't mean to stare - she got up, blushing - and neither to bump into you. I am just in a hurry.

"Now, she will ask my number or say it must be fate", he thought. They always did it. This woman was kind of beautiful, but nothing impressive or enough to tempt him. Chestnut hair, grey eyes, porcelain fair skin. Too pale for his taste.

-Sorry, again. Excuse me!

She was already entering the build, while he was lost in his thoughts. She left him without asking for nothing but forgiveness. That was new! Interesting.

Julia asked for the recepcionist where would the interview take place. The woman, a middle age one, with a sweet smile, told it was the 24th floor.

The elevator took forever to arrive. She was almost going by the stairs. Once she got there, she bumped into someone coming out of the other elevator.

-Ouch! Sorry!

-Now it was a mistake, again?

Oh, no. That voice. The misterious handsome!

-I am sorry. Really. But I can't talk now.

-Look to where you are going. I won't accept a third time!

She felt he was being serious, by his tone and glacial stare. But, she had no time!

-I will!

Five minutes. She arrived five minutes to 09h00.

-Hi! I am here for the Junior Assistant Design interview!

A blond woman sitting by the desk looked at her, like she was a bug.

-You are late.

-No, It is not 09h00 yet...

-You should be here 15 minutes before. So, you are late.

-Lady, please. I swear I am responsible. And I really need that job.

-Sorry, cannot help.

With this, she got back to mind her business and left Julia looking blankly. She lost it. She closed her eyes and breathed.

-Hey! I am talking to you! - the woman was snapping her fingers in front of Julia, who woke up - I said enter. The boss said you can go.

Oh, my! Bless him!! Julia smiled and went to the CEO's door. She knocked. A "enter" came from the inside and so she did.

-Thank you, sir. I...

When she looked ahead, her eyes almost felt out. Him!

-Hello, Miss Jones. Here we meet again.

His smirk would be the kill for her!
