Hey guys! So here's the next chapter. I'm really excited about Lucy working at Sorcerer Weekly. Also i'm not going to give any spoilers, but I am even more excited about Natsu and Lucy's dinner! Enjoy!
He led her into the office, the woman following behind and closing the doors. He sat down at the large desk in the back of the room, as she took a spot in the corner desk, typing away on a laptop.
"I'm not sure if you know me, but my name is Jellal Fernandez. I own this company. The woman over there is my close friend and secretary, Ultear Milkovitch. Then I assume you met Meredy downstairs. She's my receptionist as well as my friend too."
Lucy smiled and nodded. "I know you quite well. Sorcerer Weekly has always been my favorite magazine!"
He chuckled lightly. "Well then, I see! You may be a nice asset to this team then!"
The butterflies in her stomach swirled around into a tornado of excitement. So as not to let them know, she drummed her fingers on her lap.
"Now, before we begin," Jellal started. "Let me ask you a question. Do you know why we are named Sorcerer Weekly? It started many years ago when I was only nineteen. I had made some foolish choices as a teenager, and dragged Ultear and Meredy along with me. But then we met some other friends who helped us and showed us the light. As a thanks, and a repentance of sorts, we started a secret group which we called Crime Sorciere. Our goal was to help other foolish people find the light, as we once did. But as time went on, Crime Sorciere died. Our friendships lived on though, and together we started a business in honor of it. A magazine."
"And that's how Sorcerer Weekly came to be?" Lucy interrupted.
He smiled. "Not completely. We didn't think Crime Sorciere was a catchy enough name so we went with Sorcerer Weekly. I know to the world we seem like a popular magazine, but really the goal of Crime Sorciere lives on within it. We like to incorporate advice and whatnot into the magazine. Do you understand?"
Lucy nodded. She had no idea the history of Sorcerer Weekly was so interesting! And to think, the perfect CEO Jellal used to be a troubled teen…
"Now, let's look over your resume here…" Jellal continued.
The interview was short, but enough. By fifteen minutes in, she was already promised a spot starting tomorrow. Lucy couldn't be happier.
"Natsu!" She squealed on the phone. "I got the job! I'm working at Sorcerer Weekly!"
"That's awesome Luce! We've got to celebrate this! How about during dinner tonight, we hit the town and do something! My treat!"
"That's sounds great! Let's talk about later at my place. Anyway, I got to go. I'm about to get a tour! I'll see you later Natsu!"
"Seeya!"
She hung up and squealed again. Everything was coming into place. She had her dream job, she lived in a great town with an adorable apartment, and she had great friends. Especially Natsu. And to think, it was her 'sleeping talent' that had started this all.
No, it wasn't her. It was all Natsu. Everything was going right ever since she met him. Before him, her life had been torture of failed jobs and running away from her father. But now… now she had Natsu. And he was all she could ever ask for.
"Are you ready to go Lucy?" Ultear asked her face in a satisfied smirk.
She nodded excitedly.
'thank you Natsu!' She thought. 'Thank you for everything!"
