Nikita was a young woman in her early twenties living in New York City. She was drowning in stress due to recently being laid off of her job. She walked into the Starbucks that she goes to everyday to buy a cup of coffee. She always buys coffee from the same guy, Owen.
"Here is your usual," Owen said as he handed Nikita her cup of coffee.
"Thank you," Nikita replied.
"Are you doing anything later?" Owen asked without hesitation.
"Owen," Nikita said. "You ask me everyday! I'm not going on a date with you," she smiled as she started walking towards her seat near the window.
"It doesn't hurt to try!" he smiled.
She flipped opened her newspaper and started job hunting. She sat there for an hour and a half looking through the newspaper and found absolutely nothing that would fit her. She went to sip her coffee and realized there was none left. No job and no coffee. Great, Nikita thought. Nikita got up and waited in line to get another drink. She could feel the guy behind her starring at her and it was making her really uncomfortable.
"How old are you?" the guy behind her asked.
Nikita turned around and replied, "Excuse me?"
"My apologies. I'm Birkhoff, CEO of a modeling agency called Division. I was just starring at you because you have such an amazing figure," Birkhoff said in amazement and extending his hand out to her. "And your gorgeous too."
"Thank you," Nikita said blushing. "I'm Nikita and I'm 23," she said as she shook his hand.
"Here's my card," Birkhoff said handing her his business card. "I'd love to work with you," he smiled.
This was like a miracle. Nikita was out of a job and here was an amazing opportunity. She's never done anything like modeling and she doesn't know if she'll be good at it, but she has nothing to lose. "Actually, I just got laid off…" Nikita said. "I'd love to give this job a try."
"Well, great!" Birkhoff responded excitedly. "You can come with me then." Birkhoff grabbed his coffee and gestured Nikita to follow him. Nikita followed Birkhoff out of the coffee shop. He opened the door to his limo that was parked right outside and gestured Nikita to go in. "After you."
"Thank you," Nikita said. She got in and Birkhoff hopped in right after her. "Wow," Nikita said amazed.
"You'll get used to it," Birkhoff grinned. "To the office," he said to the driver.
"Look, it was really nice of you to give me this job, but I have to tell you," Nikita said. "I have no experience at all."
"You'll be a natural," he winked.
