Hey guys! So I felt bad for updating late the past two weeks, so i decided to put out a chapter early as well as another on time. I was really thinking about who should be working at Sorcerer Weekly so i just decided that it would be Crime Sorciere, cuz you know... Sorciere and Sorcerer. It works enough. Anyway, Enjoy!
Lucy's stomach churned and butterflies seemed to be eating away at her. Here she was, standing before the door of Sorcerer Weekly. On her way over, she called whatever secretary and managed to make an appointment for today. So now, it was time.
"Okay…" She muttered. "Here I go…"
She pushed open the big glass door and shyly slipped inside. The building looked even bigger from inside than outside. The ceiling was tall and the lobby had a modern yet comfy glow to it. At the end of the room sat a single woman at the receptionist desk. Her long pink hair was wavy and the outfit she wore hugged her figure nicely.
"Um, excuse me?" Lucy asked as she approached. "I'm here for an interview. I'm Lucy…. Hearts. Lucy Hearts."
The girl looked up her red eyes warm yet icy.
"I'm Meredy. And your appointment starts in five minutes. You can wait behind that door and I'll send someone to grab you."
Lucy nodded and walked briskly to the door Meredy had pointed at. The butterflies just wouldn't settle! When she entered the room she was met with an empty kitchen of sorts.
"This must be the break room…" She muttered.
She took a seat on a red leather chair and smoothed out her hair and skirt. Pulling out her resume, she went over it again and again. She really wanted this job and absolutely had to ace this interview!
Suddenly, the door creaked open and a young man peeked out from it. His mustard color hair was gelled up into a single spike on top. It was weird, but somehow it looked normal on him.
"Hey! I'm Jason! Are you the girl who's meeting the boss?" He asked.
Lucy nodded nervously.
"SOOO COOL!" Jason cheered spinning around.
She tilted her head at him curiously. Cool? Her getting an interview was cool? It was just an every day thing… wasn't it?
"I heard a rumor you hang out at Fairy Tail too? Is that right?" Once again she nodded. "COOL!"
She found herself smiling lightly. Seeing this boy's weird behavior calmed her. If he worked here, being as weird as he was, she might have a chance too.
She stood up and held out her hand to the boy.
"My name is Lucy Hearts and I hope to be working with you soon." She smiled politely.
He shook her hand and dragged her away to their next destination. The boss's office.
"Wait here for a sec." He told her as he knocked on the great white doors and stepped in.
She stood there staring at the doors nervously. The butterflies were starting to come out. She smoothed out her skirt again and yawned. That was when she spied a white leather couch behind her. Sitting down, hoping to calm her nerves. She laid her head in her hands and closed her eyes for a moment.
But it was longer than a moment.
"Hey! Lucy? Lucy!" A voice shouted. "LUCY!"
She peeked open one eye halfway and yawned.
"Yeah?"
"Your interview?!"
It was Jason. She was still in the Sorcerer Weekly building. She was fell asleep again! Dang it!
She immediately perked up, only to find two people at the door staring down at her. One of them was a woman with long black beautiful hair, and red eyes like the receptionist. The other was a man with messy blue hair, brown eyes, and a strange red mark of some sort over his left eye.
Lucy recognized the man as Jellal Ferndandez, the CEO and boss of Sorcerer Weekly.
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" She cried standing up.
She smoothed out her skirt again and tucked a lock of now messy hair behind her ear.
Jellal chuckled and the woman smiled kindly at her.
"It's quite alright. I understand how tired people can get. Besides, I too have found that couch particularly comfy compared to the others throughout the building." He explained a Lucy sighed reassuringly. "Shall we being your interview then?"
