Potentials (2)

Not less than thirty seconds, she came out fuming angrily. All traces of gentleness and grace disappearing. Her eyes glistened with tears as she fiercely walked towards the exit after she threw away the card number.

The whole hall went quiet as they watched her. Some girls faces changed to that of panic especially those whose numbers where next.

Soon one after the other,the girls that were called were either looking pissed off or a running mess of tears. This further discouraged others and they started to leave before their own turn comes.

However,An Xiaodi and a only three others stubbornly remained. The three others were the males and one girl that recently applied.

She just sat down quietly planning on what to say to them. Just as they called her number, she quickly stood up to go but suddenly stumbled forward on something and fell.

Just as she fell forward towards the ground she subconsciously reached out her hands for her to hold on to the nearest thing available to stop her fall and her face hit a person's chest instead. A rich masculine scent filled her nose and she was alarmed.

She quickly pushed herself backwards to distance herself from the person but instead she fell backwards again and this time,the person grabbed her by her shoulder and back.

She looked up only to see a student in highschool uniform with his face as dark as the bottom of a pot. He was obviously pissed off by the way their faces were rather close.

Suddenly he realized that he was still holding her and he abruptly released and she fell down on the bench.

" Hey!!" She was shocked by that rude behavior. He stared at her and his gaze chilled as he looked down on her figuratively and literally with his extreme height.

She equally met his scary gaze without backing down. She was no pushover and she was rather insulted by this kid's behavior.

Just like that,his chilly gaze and her fiery glare collided while the others where silently trying to blend in with the wall paper as much as they could.

He furrowed his brows while pulling out a handkerchief to wipe his hands and front shirt. She scoffed internally.

She wasn't that dirty at all and please what kind of nonsense OCD[1] does he have?

She sneered at him and walked away from him towards where she was called. His eyes trailed after her and his face squeezed into a terrible frown.

He turned and glared at the main culprit behind everything and the girl's face that had an expression of schadenfreude which changed to anger as she couldn't believe that she'd be saved by this gorgeous school Adonis, paled instantly.

The boy quickly snapped his fingers and three bodyguards in black walked towards her and grabbed her from the place. She couldn't even get to scream because they threw a punch on her face and her mouth swole.

After she was beaten black and blue,she was tossed out of the building. She didn't believe that a harmless stunt she'd played would be her worst mistake. She had indirectly offended someone else's Young master.

The boy was obviously pissed off by that girl's disrespectful gaze. In his entire life there has never been anyone who dared to glare back at him when he releases his chilly gaze on them.

...

She walked carefully towards the center of the interview and did a full perfect straight 90° bow to the interviewers and they smiled. One of them spoke.

" You may rise young lady. What is your name dear?"

An Xiaodi immediately stood up straight and answered. As soon as she set her eyes on the person who was interviewing her,her brain immediately got stunned.

This woman in her thirties seemed to look a bit like that janitor lady she spoke to two weeks ago!

There were no traces of wrinkles and ugly warts on her face, calluses on her hands or any raggedy appearance. She looked so sophisticated and very brilliant just fit for a CEO. She wore an expensive suit and adorned her hair with a beautiful blue crystal jade hairpin and her face looked several shades younger. Her face was simply emotionless except for the beautiful pair of black eyes that held a teasing mirth.

"Well then young lady tell us why you are here..." The lady continue to ask her some questions and the interview proceeded.

An Xiaodi gently took a deep breath to suppress her minor surprise and answered the questions one by one.

After thirty minutes, the interview was finished.

" Well An Xiaodi, we'll be expecting you to work at one of our branches as a manager." They all arrived at a conclusion that she was really good for the job.

An Xiaodi was a little confused about what they told her. She applied for a salesgirl job not manager for a branch of Shore woman and Sales. This was too much!

" Erm... please ma'am I'd be happy to get the position of a salesgirl because I'm a student. Please let me have that chance." She begged.

The interviewers were all taken aback by her suddenly rejection. Who in their right mind would reject such a large opportunity to flourish. Just as they were about to convince her to think again, the lady smiled and said,

" Sure! we'll give the job but in one of our branches closest to the community." and they choked.

[1] OCD means obsessive compulsive disorder.
