I couldn't believe what I had seen in the portfolio from the candidate to my firm. Selene Diaz was my favorite ex-teacher from high school.

Why did she need this job? This is a personal assistant and that's no joke my dad offered a handsome salary for this job.

I heard a gentle knock as I shifted my attention to the door and there she is. I was delighted when the familiar face appeared next to the receptionist. It's been 4 years since we never met after I study abroad.

Nothing much changed in her appearance. She was still gorgeous, and she even looked hotter than the last time I met her. I liked her lovely deep tan skin and matching light brown eyes.

Everything was deja vu when I saw her clothing was the same style as the first day of the freshmen school I saw her in the classroom. She made her long dark hair in a classic bun, a plain white long sleeve chiffon blouse, a black pencil skirt, and a pair of black high heels sharing a pair of her long legs.

I thought she would be shocking the person she met would be me, but she seemed calm. Her eyes only dilated a brief second and she smiled at me politely again.

Was every teacher already learned to be calm and handled nicely in any situation? Wouldn't she feel awkward if she would work for her ex-student?

Instead, seemed like I was the one who thought it was awkward. I felt weird giving a teacher to answer the questions.

I gave a her brief nod with a small smile in return and indicated the seat next to me. I remained formal and waited until the receptionist left. Once the receptionist closed the door my face eventually softened and my ex-teacher was walking to the seat I indicated.

Since she would take about 10 more steps to reach, I took the time to stand up and walked toward her seat to pull backward and ready for her. She seemed to loosen up a little when she saw my facial expression.

What should I say instead of smiling at her like a fool?

Long time no see? Why do you need this job? Was that too personal for asking?

I would hire her without any hesitation if she needed this job badly, but I had to keep true and fair to play a fair game of an interview for the other potential candidates too.

"Good morning, have a seat," I finally said when she reached the seat and was ready to hold the chair, but I insisted to help. She couldn't help but chuckled softly at me and said, "Thank you, Miss Yung."

"It's my pleasure, Miss Diaz," I was trying to imply this because I always called her Mrs. Kennedy whenever we met. I returned to my seat and I brushed my skirt before sitting on it.

She was staring at me and waited for me to begin with her hands resting on her lap. Nothing much I wanted to know about the candidate's background, I would accept them as long as they willingly work overtime.

"Could you tell me what you know about Davidson Design Build?" I asked and waited for her to start.

"Davidson Design Build was established in the year 1940. The founder was Justin Yung. This firm was an award-winning pioneer in the design or building industry. The Flamingo Hotel, a well-known hotel was one of the projects in the city. Evergreen Living was the latest building newly built in the year 2020." Selene said confidently and smiled, "I assume the new CEO would be the third generation of the Yung family."

Impressive. There was no joke a teacher did much research and preparation for an interview. I guess this kind of interview was a piece of cake for her.

"Very well. To be honest, I won't need much require from you to know about our firm's background. You'll eventually know better after you join this place," I said truthfully and I looked at her. "There is one thing I'll concern about the working time. Technically the article is written working time will be from Monday to Friday, 9 am to 6 pm. But, I would need you to stay up late or you might need to come back on Sunday whenever I need."

"Yes, that will be fine for me," Selene assured me and I pointed out, "But, you have three children in the house. Do you think you will be fine with that?"

"That wouldn't be a problem since my eldest daughter is 18 years old. She could be the one to take care of her younger sisters."

Right, it's been 4 years and her kids grew up too. The youngest was probably already 6 years old and the last time we met she was 2. The shocking news was, her martial was a widow. When I glanced at her fingers, there had a tan line on her ring finger.

When did that happen? Did she lose her husband recently?

I never liked her husband, but it didn't mean I wanted him to die. I had so much wanted to ask her.

"Could you tell me the reason for applying for this job?" I knew this question was indirectly asking about her personal.

"My apologies, I would keep this as my confidential," she said calmly.

After the interview was done, we stood up I stretched my hand to her and said, "Thank you for your attendance for this interview. You'll get a call within two days from us."

Selene smiled beautifully as she grasped her hand on mine firmly before we loosened our hands. "Thank you for giving me a chance. I'll look forward to the news from you."

We keep smiling and seemed like having a brief reunion. I had so many things wanna say but I didn't think I could do that within another 10 minutes. But, we might have a chance to talk or see each other again.

I wanted to walk her out of the room. Instead, I remained still and watched her give me a light bow before walking out of the meeting room elegantly and she glanced over her shoulder once again before she left.

I eventually returned to my seat and plopped on it. I leaned my head against the headrest of the chair and exhaled softly from my nose. I heard two knocks as I looked at the door, the receptionist opened the door and informed me, "Miss Diaz is the last candidate for today. The upcoming appointments will be scheduled for tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you," I smiled as she gave me a nod in return, she stepped out and carefully close the door. When the door was only left ajar, I quickly called out, Elsie?"

The receptionist swiftly pushed the door as she asked nicely with a smile, "Yes, can I help you?"

"Please cancel all the appointments. Miss Diaz is hired."
