Hey Everyone! This is extremely AU, mostly it's a completely original story in which I have incorporated ONCE characters, so don't be mad if certain traits or details are very different. Each chapter will be its own sort of story, but they will all be chronological and form a larger story, so don't be surprised if weeks pass between chapters. Each one is its own event! Hope you enjoy, I'm really really excited about this! Thanks! (I don't own anything OUAT)
She got out of her car and looked at the large intimidating building that stood before her. This was it. She had been anticipating this interview ever since moving to LA two weeks ago. Though the big city was only a few hours from her hometown, Belle French had been so nervous about making this move. She was daddy's girl and had lived at home all through college. But when just after graduation she had found out about her cheating Fiancé she decided it was time to pack up and move on with her own. She needed change. She needed a grand adventure.
She walked into the building, business men and women of all shapes and sizes ran about frantically. She had to admire the building itself, it was huge, housing businesses and offices for every imaginable purpose. The modern style of the building appealed to Belle greatly, it made her want the job even more. The chance to work in a building like this was just too good. Today she was headed to the 12th floor and to MacAldonich Gold and Wallace. It was a very prestigious architecture firm, and though Belle was an art major, she was in no way qualified to be an architect. The job she was applying for was that of office manager, something she was much more qualified for. It paid well and Belle and an exceptional love of organizing things and taking care of people's needs.
The elevator doors opened to reveal a large and modern seating area. Just on the other side of it was a long rounded desk behind which two impeccably dressed receptionists sat. Belle walked up to one of them. The red headed girl smiled at her sweetly "how may I help you" she requested. "Um yes, I have an interview at 2:00" said Belle shyly. "Of course, you must be Mrs. French, Mrs. Lucas will be right out" said the girl brightly "By the way I'm Ariel". Belle smiled back at the girl, comforted by her friendly attitude. Taking a seat Belle took a deep breathe, trying to calm herself.
"You must be Mrs. French" Belle looked up, to her surprise she was looking at an older, welled dressed woman. She had to be in her late 50s maybe early 60s; she wasn't at all the slick suited man Belle imagined would be conducting the interview. Though the woman was dressed to the nines and wore many what had to be real diamonds, there was something very grandmotherly about this woman, putting belles mind at ease. She fallowed the woman into and office located not far behind the front desk. Belle sat down and looked at Mrs. Lucas intently. "So, tell me about yourself" the older woman asked.
Half an hour later Belle was exiting the building, feeling confident, if not totally sure she would get the position. Mrs. Lucas had assured her that they would call her the fallowing day to let her know if she had the position. The only thing left to do was wait.
Thanks for reading! I know the chapters are short but I will try to publish at least twice a week to compensate!
