You rush to reach the elevator and see three men getting on, knowing it will leave soon. You are putting on your coat as you start to call out, 

"Hold, please, please hold the elevator!"

One of the men mumbles, "Oh, no, not another one." 

He goes to push the close door button when the younger man reaches out and stops him. He pushes the door open button instead and holds it till you get in.

You are so distracted that you don't look up at them but say, "Thank you so much. I'm already late." You adjust your coat, open your brief bag, and remove your lip balm.

The young man watches as you apply it, amazed at how you can still do it while talking. Then he thinks, 'That's really no feat. We can all do that.' Still, he is fascinated by your lips.

You continue talking out loud to no one in particular. "I can't believe this. This is my first big interview, and I lost my contacts this morning. My mom is overnighting me more, but I have to wear these stupid things."

 You pull out a pair of librarian glasses, put them on, and continue rummaging in your brief bag. 

The young man shares a grin with his companions as you are still talking to yourself. 

"I ruined two pairs of stockings rushing to get dressed. This is going to be a horrible day."

 You never once looked at the other people in the elevator with you. The three men look at your legs when you mention stockings and then share a look.

The young man appreciates your legs and then smiles with his companions. He nods his head at them all, silently agreeing that they are very nice legs indeed.

You pull a file folder out of your bag and start going through it. The young man notices a photo attached to the file. He raises his brows in surprise. It's a picture of him. Faster and faster, you're flipping back and forth between the papers it held. 

You suddenly stomp your foot in frustration and whisper, "Dammit."

 That brought an unrestrained smile to the young man, and his fellow friends suppressed their laughter.

 Without looking at them, you say, "I'm so sorry, but could you please let me off at the next floor? I must have left my notes in my room."  

You're still going through the folder as if the missing notes would re-appear. The young man pushes the button for the next floor.

"Thank you so much. Sorry to be so much trouble. This is the most important interview of my career. As a new intern, this is one of our first real tests." 

You're reorganizing things in your brief bag, preparing to leave the elevator when it stops.

When the door opens, you step out and turn back to thank the men again, but you're actually looking up at them this time. Your eyes finally met up with the young man. You stop mid word of thanks and he is smiling at you.

 Your eyes widen in surprise. The door starts to close. He smiles cutely at you and gives you a heart as the door closes.

You suddenly come to your senses realizing you just met the man you're interviewing and recall all the things you said out loud. Blushing with embarrassment you turn and run for the stairwell as the other elevator was still 4 floors up.

The three in the elevator start to laugh after the door closes. The young man looks at his companions.

 "This is going to be the most interesting interview."
