Disclaimer: I don't own final fantasy 7, or its characters… nor do I want to…. But I do own Claudia and the plot….
A Young woman stared at the Shinra building in awe. Her name was Claudia. She was around 25, 5'3, Sea green eyes and, had long strawberry blond hair that she usually wore down. But today she had her hair in a tight bun. She was dressed in a long black skirt that reached her ankles, with a slit in the front that went up to her knees, and a sleeveless black vest that showed a little bit of her white and red undershirt. The only thing that looked unprofessional was her shoes. They where combat boots, the only shoes she owned. That she had bought for 30 Gil.
"God… if you really exist out there…. Please let me get the job, even if it is being a secretary…." She whispered to herself before passing thru the huge double doors. Got inside, she saw a very young, lazy woman, with half of her breasts showing, at a desk in the center of the room. 'Well looks like Mr. president Shinra likes his female employees sexy' she thought, 'I could do that too' so she pulled her thong up just enough to show when she walked. Claudia calmly strolled over to the lady at the desk.
"Can I help you?"
"Yes. Yes you could, I am here for a job interview. I have called in advance about it. My name is Claudia Banks."
"Let's see… I knew I put your application somewhere…" after a few minutes of looking, "found it! Well, you certainly have good references…. But you seem to have quit all these nice paying companies. What happened?"
"It wasn't the money… it was the people, you see I was the only lady there… and it caused a lot of discrimination, and the other employees to misbehave…"
"Oh… well what do you think of going for in this company?"
"Any thing really…. I will probably join you at the desk." 'God, don't let me end up like her… please'
"Really? Well, I will call you when your interview is going to happen."
'Yay I get to play sit for an hour' Claudia sat down on a leather armchair, and waited.
30 minutes later
Claudia saw a man walk in. he was about 5'10, and had one scar on each cheekbone. She saw he had fiery red hair, with a long ponytail in the back. He was dressed in a slick navy suit, that every one knew, that man was a Turk. The man noticed her and approached her, and he seemed to be smiling, "Hey. I haven't seen you here…" the man said "oh and before I forget, my name is Reno."
"You haven't seen me here before because I don't work here… Im going to try to… so Im waiting for a job interview…. Oh my name is Claudia"
"Oh Im sure you will get it… the president goes for any one who has more than an A cup… and you have way more than that, plus!"
"I figured that he liked that sort of thing" Claudia replied motioning to the secretary, "she isn't that good as a secretary…"
"Yeah… but she has a nice heart, and a nice rack…"
"True…."
"Oh well I gotta go the pres needs me double… Tseng can't come to work. And Im the substitute for Tseng…. Bye Claudia!" Reno said before he trotted over to the stairs.
After Claudia was sure that Reno had left, she sighed and sunk into her seat. 'He was so sexy, too sexy, probably a womanizer… a pity. I couldn't have him in a gazillion, bazillion, milli-'
"Claudia you may see the president now… just go up to the elevator, and go to the 60th floor. Don't be afraid to just walk in. ok honey?" the secretary said sweetly.
"Alright" 'do not be scared, think about what Reno said. YOU WILL get the job…'
When Claudia got in the elevator, she hit the 60 button and the elevator climbed determinedly up the tall building. When she got to the 13th floor the elevator suddenly came to a stop. When the door opened she saw another Turk, he was very large, and had a sturdy frame. He had no hair, and wore sunglasses. He pressed the 38 button and leaned against the door.
When they reached the 23rd floor Claudia finally broke the somewhat awkward silence, "you're a Turk? Right?" all the bald man did was nod, "then you must know Reno, huh?" the man just looked at her trying to see where she was getting at. At last he replied, "Why do you care?"
"Oh…I- um, just met him a few minutes ago." Claudia said with a nervous chuckle.
"…"
They finally got to the 38th floor and the Turk left the elevator. When the door slid open, she saw a familiar head of red hair, "Hey, Rude! I met this unbelievable, be-a-utiful women today- Oh hi Claudia!"
"Oh! Hey Reno!"
"Good luck… well I don't believe in luck so good karma!"
Then the sliding door closed before she could say anything more. She sat down on the side of the elevator; the strawberry blond didn't trust the glass encasing the elevator. Again Claudia found herself thinking of Reno. 'Why the hell do I like him so much? I mean he is cute and all but really…. I need to have a realistic goal here!' Claudia scolded herself until she got to the 59th floor, 'stay calm every thing will be alright… you WILL get a job. And maybe work with Re-nah… but you will get the job.'
The door seemed to slow down as it opened, as if it was paying its respects to president Shinra himself. Claudia looked at her watch, to her surprise; she could've sworn the second hand had stopped moving. When the door had finally opened, she found herself in a cold, but looks warm room. In front of her she noticed the biggest double doors she has ever seen!
She knocked softly on the doors, and she heard the reply "Come in, come in! I haven't got all day!"
Claudia opened the massive doors slowly trying not to let them creak.
