Two Hearts One Bond

I felt nervous as I stood in front of the imposing glass doors of the W&L Enterprise. My heart beat fast, and my hands felt sweaty. Today was the day I’d try to get a better job. I had heard about the company's exceptional reputation and its owners; the handsome billionaire brothers. I took a deep breath, and pushed the doors open. Inside, the surroundings looked very modern and classy.

"Good morning, ma" I greeted the receptionist with a friendly smile. "I'm here for a job interview."

The receptionist's eyes brightened as she looked up from her computer and returned the smile. “Sure. What's your name, please?” She asked, her tone friendly and welcoming.

I felt a sense of relief at the receptionist's warm conduct. “My name is Olivia Baker, ma” I replied, feeling more at ease as I tried to adjust my belt. My trousers seem worn-out and loosen.

“Please have a seat. My boss will be with you shortly,” the receptionist said, smiling.

I nodded gratefully and took a seat at the comfortable waiting area. I took a deep breath, reminding myself of my qualifications for the job.

As I sat down on a colorful leather couch, I couldn't help but notice the vibrant energy that filled the office. Everywhere I looked, employees were engaged in conversations, and the air buzzed with creativity. I felt excited and full of anticipation, knowing that I belong in such a dynamic environment.

Moments later, the receptionist motioned for me to come with her. "Mr. Lucas is ready to see you now," she said.

I stood up, straightened my trousers, and made my way towards the elevator.

As the elevator doors opened, I hesitated for a moment outside the imposing doors of Lucas Anderson’s office. I smoothed my shirt, straightened down my trousers, before knocking on the door.

“Knock.. knock…”

"Come in," a voice called from within the office, prompting me to step further into the office.

With confidence, I opened the door and stepped into the fancy office. I was greeted by the sight of Lucas, seated behind a massive desk made of dark wood, busy with papers.

"Good morning, sir," I said, smiling, trying to sound calm even though I felt nervous inside.

Lucas looked up, his eyes scanning me from head to toe, wondering what was making me smile. "Ah, you must be Olivia. What's making you blush? You can sit over there, until I need you."

I nodded gratefully in shock. “Why is he acting arrogantly? I haven't done anything wrong, why so harsh?” I asked myself, as I took a seat opposite him, my hands folded neatly on my lap.

"Now, what brings you to W&L Enterprise today?" He asked, his tone sounding businesslike and serious.

I straightened my posture, meeting his gaze with confidence. "I've heard wonderful things about this company, Mr. Lucas Anderson. I believe my skills and experience would be of value here. I'm eager to contribute in any way I can."

Laughing, “really?” He raised an eyebrow, curious. "And what skills, exactly, do you bring to the table?"

With a self-assured smile, I talked into a detailed description of myself, explaining my impressive academic achievements. As I spoke, he couldn't help but wonder about my guts in my first interview; impressed by my Intelligence.

"Well, Olivia, you certainly seem qualified on paper," He remarked, leaning back in his chair. "But as you know, we value more than just qualifications here at W&L Enterprises. We're looking for someone who can think outside the box, who isn't afraid to think differently.”

Standing up from his seat, he leaned against his desk. “We're looking for someone who can bring fresh perspectives and innovative solutions to the table,” he continued, his gaze steady on mine.

My eyes sparkled with determination. "I assure you, Mr. Lucas, I'm not scared of any challenge,” I said confidently. “In fact, I do my best work when faced with them.”

Shocked by my confidence, Lucas nodded, considering my words carefully. "Very well, Olivia. Consider yourself hired. Welcome to the team."

A rush of excitement flooded through me as I extended my hand across the desk, trying to secure the position with a firm handshake.

Hesitating, Lucas asked, “Why are you trying to shake my hands? You're here to work, and not to shake hands with your boss!” he spoke harshly.
