And right there, standing in front of the floor o ceiling glass window with his back at me was Nathan Sterling.“Emily…” he said. His voice carried authority and he didn’t even turn around yet but I felt myself stiffen as if the weight of his presence was pulling me in place.“Yes…Mr.Sterling” I replied, although my voice was slightly shaky.He turned and gazed in my direction with an intensity I hadn’t expected. He looked just like he did in the few pictures I’ve seen. A well-sculpted face, with sharp brown eyes that seemed to see too much, and a calm confidence that felt almost chilling“First of all Ms. Jones, I would like to thank you for taking this position.

I feel hot and tired from all the walking that I have done since this morning. I can’t keep this up, I need to rest and find myself a bench or something.After 5 minutes of walking, I saw an empty bench, where I sat down and drank my water from my water bottle. Seems like it's not my day once again. For context, I am Emily Jones, a 24-year-old unemployed woman. And right now I am trying to look for a job as I’ve been unemployed for a year now.
