ANNA'S POV

I woke up at 08:00 am because I have an interview, I don't know what for. I don't even know what type of company is that. What am I'll be supposed to do there? I'm going there only because I don't want anything bad to happen to Luca because of me.

I took a bath after that I started eating breakfast. My mobile rang. It was Tan. I picked up the call. " Hello?". I said.

"Get your documents and come downstairs. I'll be there in fifteen minutes to pick you up. Got it ?". He said more like an order.

"Y-Yes". I said in a low voice.

"Good ". He said and hung up the call.

'This person doesn't know how to say goodbye. I think it's not in his vocabulary.

'Only fifteen minutes oh my god'.
I quickly select a baby pink dress that Tan brought me last night. I put on some make-up, tied my hair into a high ponytail, Wore my heels, grabbed my documents, and rushed downstairs.

Tan was already there on his bike, giving me a dead glare I saw it from his helmet. I slowly walked toward him nervously.

" Eighteen". He said in a deep voice.

"Hun?". I look at him confused.

" You are three minutes late. Now sit, I don't have a whole day". He said annoyingly.

I dropped my gaze. "I'm sorry". I said in a low voice. Without replying to me, he handed me a helmet and signal me to sit back.

After a long silent ride, we stopped in front of a huge building. I get off his bike and handed him the helmet back.

'Maybe if I'll convenience him that I don't want to do this interview he will be agreed. He doesn't seem like he will but at least I should try to ask him once'. I thought to myself.

" Done staring?". He said and I snapped out of my thoughts. I took a step closer to him and dropped my gaze.

"Actually- actually the thing is that I don't want to give this interview. I don't know how to.... I never have done this before. I can't do this--I just can't". I said nervously. Still not meeting his gaze.

"Look at me". He said softly. I raised my head and my eye meets his dark brown orbs. " I've brought you here because I know you can do this. I believe in you". He added

I looked at him shocked. What did he just say 'he believes in me '. What did he mean by that? The way he said it seemed like he knows me for years.

"What do you mean by that ?".
I dared to ask.

He cleared his throat awkwardly and moved his face away from my direction. " Call me after the interview I'll come to pick you up. Go now ". His voice changed into a deep one again. I nodded and went inside.

It was a huge building with beautiful decorations. I walked towards the reception area. A lady was sitting on her chair. " Excuse me?". I asked for her attention.

" Yes ma'am what can I help you?". she replied. "I'm here for an interview". I said nervously. " Go to the fifth floor and take the left, there is a waiting room . Wait there until sir calls for you". She replied and I nodded.

I went to the fifth floor by elevator. As I walked inside the waiting room I saw many other girls waiting there too. I slowly approach a chair and made myself sit on it. Some girls went and came back from the office. Next was my turn I was so nervous.

"Anna Scott?". A man called me. I stand up and walked towards the office door. With my heart in my mouth, I took a deep breath and push the door slightly. " May I come in?". I asked.

" Yes ". The voice was very familiar to me.

As soon as I stepped inside I saw Won. My eyes widen. He was sitting on the chair behind the table. Does it mean he is the boss and I have to give an interview here, for his personal assistant's position?

'Why is Tan doing this to me? I just want to disappear from this office'.

"Anna! from Plaza Hotel right?". Won's voice broke the chain of my thoughts. I nodded quickly. " Please take a seat ". I did as he said.

" Are you here for an interview?". He asked and I nodded again. " You already have a job right? so why do you want to work here?". He asked.

"I don't want to. I'll never. I'm here only because of your lovely brother". I mumbled.

" Sorry, did you just say something ?". He asked lowering his head.

"No-no sir, I was just saying that this is a big opportunity for me if I'll pass this interview because this is a huge company". I lied. I hate lying but there wasn't any other option left.

" Okay miss Anna shall I start the interview now?". He asked and I nodded. My palm was already sweating.

"How old are you?". He asked.
"I'm 18". I replied.

"What are your qualifications?".

"Umm... I've only passed high school I didn't get a chance to study further". I answered.

"Okay.....so do you have any experience for this job?". He asked.

I hung my head low at this question and shook it in no. "Okay miss Anna, so leave your documents here. My staff members will inform you in the evening if you are selected or not". He said and passed a small smile.

I smiled back nervously before stepping out of his office. I released a long breath didn't know I was holding. This was my first and will be the worst interview of my life.

I failed all three questions. I'm not even twenty. I'm not highly qualified and also I don't have any experience in this field. He will never gonna select me because this is a huge company there are lots of work and he must be searching for someone who will do this job properly.

But there is one thing good about it. Won will reject me and I'll not have to work here. I'll tell Tan that he rejected me then boom... he'll let me go.
'yes'.

I happily dialed Tan's number and called him. He picked up immediately. "I'm already here". He said and ended the call.

That rude ass didn't even give me time to say hello.

Ignoring his usual coldness I was about to reach the main door but I saw Ezra walking inside. " Hello miss Ezra. How are you?". I asked with a big grin.

She removed her goggle and squished her eyes for a moment as she half recognised me. " Anna... right?". She asked joining her eyebrows. I nodded.

" How are you here?". She asked confused.

" I was here for an interview". I replied.

" Oh, how was it ?".

" It was good ". I lied.

She looked down at her mobile as it started ringing before lifting her head back. "Okay, Anna I have to go now ". She said with a warm smile. " Best of luck". She added petting my shoulder.

" Thank you, Miss. Ezra". I thanked her before we bid our goodbyes.

' She's classic '

As I walked outside I saw Tan waiting on his bike. He dropped me back home and straight went away. 'He didn't even ask me about the interview. Why is he like this?'.

WON'S POV

I sighed heavily and loosen my tie a little after taking interviews with more than thirty girls. I rested my head back and closed my eyes for a second but someone knocked. "Come in". I said tiredly and moved my head towards the opening door.

"Hey, buddy". Ezra walked in with her signature grin and sat on the chair in front of me.

" What's up?". I asked sitting straight.

"Fine. What about the interviews?. Did it go well?". She asked.

" Yeah many girls were here for the interview. They are pretty good ". I replied.

" So did you select someone?". She asked.

" Not yet but I am thinking about a girl". I said.

" Oh, really who is she?".
She asked.

" Do you remember Anna, Anna Scott from Plaza hotel?". I asked.

"Yeah". She was quick to reply. " I even meet her in the morning. She said she was here for an interview but she looks young". She said.

" You are right Ezra, she is only 18. I only asked her basic questions but she didn't properly reply to them too. I checked her CV, she is not highly qualified but her grades are quite good. She said she didn't get a chance to study any further. But remember? how perfectly she managed our engagement ceremony?". I said getting her nodding head in response. " But she doesn't get a chance to get a degree in it". I added.

She placed both of her elbows on the table rested her palms under her chin and nodded like she is listening to me carefully. So I continued.

" She doesn't have any experience but all I'm thinking about is that I should give her a chance. I think she just needs one. What do you think Ezra? I asked.

She again just nodded. Her eyes were on me but she seemed lost in her thoughts.

" Are you even listening to me, Ezra?". I asked waving my hand in front of her face.

She blinked and opened her eyes wide but didn't move from her previous position.

" You always think so much about others Won. And yes, you are right you should give her a chance. Because we have to hand in personal information about our business and she seems an ordinary girl there is no chance that our personal information will be leaked. I think that will be great". She answered intelligently. She's always a sharp cookie.

After we decided to give her a chance Ezra went out and I started working on my laptop again.

After a few hours, someone knocked again. "Come in". I said without looking who is it.

" Good evening young master. Did you have your dinner? I raised my head to see Mr. Romon. He always takes care of my meals, and my sleeping schedules, he takes care of my everything and still treats me like a kid.

I shook my head no and smiled knowing a lecture on my health is going to start.

His eyebrows crashed at my reply, he shoot a glare before inhaling a big breath.

1. 2. 3. Start.

"Why have you become so careless young master?. You should take a break from work for yourself too". The concern in his voice didn't go unnoticed by me.

This is the reason I respect Mr. Romon more than my father. Because my father has never asked me if I had my meal or not. He has never waited for me to come home, never asked me about how my day was or how am I feeling. He only asked about how was the meeting, and how work going on in the office. Never about me? He treats me like a robot and wants me to work like a sleepless ghost.

" Okay okay, I will, now let's eat together". I said and he nodded.

• it's so attractive when someone is all about you and isn't afraid to show it.
