'Wow, what a place', thought Madison. She gazed up in amazement at the tall glass skyscraper. The sun reflected off the sea blue glass windows that adorned the outside of the skyscraper. This was Kyomoto Industries.
Today was her first day out to find herself a job. Madison was dressed in a burgundy business suit, with thin gray stripes stripes. It was a knee length skirt, with a fitted coat. She was wearing black shoes. She herself had brown eyes and had black hair that went midway down her back.
She had a thin file clutched to her chest, and was carrying a Louis Vuitton hand bag, which she had borrowed from her best friend Tifa.
She was standing on one of Manhattan's busiest streets. Times Square to be exact. She had her resume with her in the thin file, and she was looking for a job in business. She took a deep breath, and strode to the entrance of the majestic glass building.
Inside, everything was almost bathed in a cool shade. It was all furnished in different hues of blue. In the center was a large skylight that went all the way up to the top of the building. Right under the skylight was a beautiful gurgling fountain. She passed by the fountain towards the reference desk, gasping in awe. The section that was devoted to the skylight, from top to bottom, was the center of the building, and there was railing going around each level. Meaning that through each floor, the skylight passed through.
Averting her gaze, she clicked towards the reference desk, and found that she needed to go up to the top of the building. She passed the fountain again, and sighed, and blew a strand of hair out of her face.
She walked towards the elevators, and pressed the 'UP' button. She watched the lights above the doors count down to the lobby. Finally, the doors dinged open, and she stepped inside the empty elevator. The elevator stopped at the 5th floor, and a young man, probably in his early twenties like herself, stepped in. He was chatting away on black sleek looking cell phone.
He flashed a warm smile, and looked her up and down. He nodded approvingly, and then turned back to his conversation on the phone. Madison was now blushing. She sneaked a glance at the young man. He had shoulder length silver hair, and energetic aquamarine eyes. He wore an indigo colored suit with a white dress shirt with the first two buttons open and black polished shoes. He was pretty good looking overall.
He finished with his call, and clicked his cell shut. He looked up, and smiled at the young woman standing next to him.
"Hello there," he said. Madison turned and smiled at him.
"Oh, hi," she said.
"So, what's a girl like you doing in a place like this?" he asked putting his hands in the pockets of his pants.
"Looking for a job", she replied going back to staring at the lights flashing above. They were up to the 50th floor now.
"Really," exclaimed Riku, "Here at Kyomoto?"
"Umm, yes…why it's not a good place to work?" she asked beginning to get double minded.
"No, no!" he said laughing at the look on Madison's face. "This is a very good place to work. And you're in luck, 'cuz I'm Kyomoto's son, so I can get you a job if you really want it." he said grinning.
Just then the elevator doors dinged open.
"After you," he said to her giving her a little sweeping bow. She giggled, "Thank-you", she said stepping out onto the 77th floor.
"Alright, so if you want, I can get you a job here." he said walking next to her along the carpeted hallway.
"Oh, that would be so nice, thank-you!" she exclaimed.
"No problem. Besides, who could say no to pretty face like you?" he asked grinning. He was now walking backwards facing her. Madison blushed and looked down. Riku chuckled at her.
"Flattering I can be," he continued and with that he turned around as they came to a pair of large mahogany doors with intricate carvings on them. He knocked on the left one.
"Anyone home?" he asked. Madison smiled. She was finally getting a chance at a good job after weeks of searching for one she really wanted.
"Come in!" came a voice from inside. Riku pushed open both doors, and Madison followed him through.
"Ah, Riku, come, come" the man behind a luxurious dark polished desk said. "Oh, and you brought a friend? Welcome, I am Mr. Kyomoto." He said and got up to shake Madison's outstretched hand.
"Yes, father, this is Madison, she was actually looking for a job here. I was wondering if you could give a direct interview. She looks like she can handle work well." he said with a smile.
"Of course," he nodded, "young lady, do you have your resume?" he asked Madison.
"Oh, yes sir, here it is" She gave him the thin file she was holding.
"Hmm," said Kyomoto opening the black file, "Very good…excellent…" he said. He shut the file and handed it back to her. "Well Madison, I would be honored if you would join Kyomoto Industries. You have a very impressive resume." he said with a smile. Madison beamed with delight. "Oh, thank-you so much Mr. Kyomoto!" she exclaimed. Mr. Kyomoto chuckled at her response.
"I have an important meeting to attend in 10 minutes with some important clients," said Kyomoto getting up and clearing his throat. "So, if you don't mind, I'm going to have to ask you to leave," he waved at the door.
"Oh of course, right away" Riku said straightening up, "Come on Madison, let's go," he said pulling Madison with him. Madison thanked Mr. Kyomoto once more, and followed Riku out the doors.
After the doors shut, she turned to him and exclaimed, "Oh my god, thank-you so much Riku!"
Riku chuckled, "Don't mention it, I told you I would get you a job. Hey, in honor of your job, how bout we go out to eat somewhere tonight?" Madison slowed down.
"Oh, I don't know…" she was thinking of Zack, her boyfriend. But he was out of the city for a few days. He wouldn't be coming back for a while.
To her surprise, Riku began to pout, "Please Madison," normally if any guy had done that, Zack would have dealt with him a.s.a.p., and she herself would have slapped the man. But this was her new boss' son, and she wanted to nice as possible to Riku, especially since he had gotten her a job in no time flat.
"Come on," he begged, he came closer and held her one of her hands "It's just one measly dinner! How can it hurt?" he persuaded.
"Um ok then, one dinner, only" she said and Riku jumped up. "Yes! Score one for Riku!" This made Madison giggle. Riku grinned and walked back with her the rest of the way to the elevators.
"So, I'll see you tonight then. How about you meet me here at say 7, and I'll take you from here? Sound good?" he asked pushing the down button for her.
"Perfect" she said nodding. The elevator doors dinged open and she stepped inside.
"Good, I'll see you and your pretty self later!" he called behind him as he walked back towards his father's office. Madison waved good-bye to him as well.
As soon as she came she leaned against the back of the elevator She was extremely happy she had finally gotten a job. But the dinner with Riku made her a little uncomfortable. He seemed a little too cocky.
'No, I just need to stop comparing everyone to Zack.' She shook her head.
But she was worried about what she would say to Zack. After all, wasn't dinner with a guy…well a date? Zack took her out a lot but they hadn't been anywhere in a while. But she was going to dinner with a good-looking guy who probably did these kinds of things all the time.
Well she would have to go anyway; it didn't necessarily have to be a date, just a small dinner with a friend, and incredibly good looking friend, but a friend nonetheless. Zack wasn't due back till later on in the week. She sighed and bit her lip.
'Zack…where are you?' she thought as the elevator carried her back down.
Good start, or not? Let me know what you guys think! Suggestions are welcomed, if there's anything you don't like please let me know, constructive criticism is appreciated!
Many, if not all, locations are realistic, except obviously some places don't exist. Like there is definetily no Kyomoto Industries smack in the middle of Times Square. Bu I hope you enjoy the story anyway!
