SONIC

"I don't like his shirt. NEXT!" I say and the steam from coffee that Cream got touches my face and Knuckles drops his jaw in shock after the door closes from the guy leaving.

"Sonic. That person you just kicked had been a assistant Apple CEOs and managers for years-"

"KNUCKLES I WANT SOMEONE WHO FITS THE PART! TELL THEM OUT THERE, IF YOU DON'T FIT THE PART THEN WHY STAY IN LINE?!" I yell.

"Yes sir…" Knuckles says lowly and swings the door open wide and repeats exactly what I said but better.

"Mr. Hedgehog is not in the nicest mood after what happen yesterday. Please have yourselves informed about our company, Mr. Hedgehog, uniforms here and yourself. Just do yourself a favor and don't stay in line. He isn't in the mood for… anything but an assisstant. Thanks and the next person can come in." Knuckles says and he gives me thumbs up and I flip him off because of his choice, we had to close down our company so I could get an assisstant.

We go through many people and it had been already two hours of doing interviews, I was asking all the questions and seeing how they responded to them and even if I heard them stutter they were out.

I need someone with the same skill set as me to help out with the company. Knuckles was starting to get aggravated too with all the people I wasn't considering but I didn't care. I want a perfect assisstant.

"Why do you think you would be the best choice to be an assistant of my company?" I ask and the polar bear smiles and speaks.

"I think I would be the bet choice because of my resume-"

"Next." I say and I throw his paper away and stares at me shock.

"I… I didn't even get to tell you why." He says and I growl and he gets up and leaves.

"Mr. Hedgehog please wait." Cream says. "You are passing up some great oppurtinites. These interviews are getting no where because you are angry and anxious. Please relax before I end up leaving too."

"You are right…. Sorry." I say and Cream smiles and fans Knuckles to let the next person in and I sigh heavily. "You do the talking then." I tell Cream and I listen to heels click on the floor.

"Gladly. She looks very professional and fun." Cream says and my eyes rises up but they slightly freeze on her legs but then just to the rest of outfit and auroa.

Mostly everyone had on a black jacket or blazer with black pants or brown slacks but… she came in with such confidence in the soft light yellow jumpsuit. Pair with a light beige heel, every step she took was followed with whatever personality she had. I look at her face as well and her hair seemed to be freshly brushed and done because it was shinning in the light on the ceiling of my office and bounced with each confident step as she made her way towards me.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Hedgehog. It's a pleasure to meet you!" She says offering her perfect, clean hand to me that looked like it never touched dirt or any surface what's so ever.

"I am Amy Rose. Nice to finally meet you."

"Even her voice was perfect. She pronounced every word with pride and artiucaltion."

I take her hand and her eyes spill of joy as I shake it and then she sits down with a folder in her hand and sits on the edge of the seat while crossing her leg.

"I am Cream! Mr. Hedgehog's supervisor. He has a slight headache from the other interviews so I am going to take over for this one."

"Oh okay! That's fine. As long as the questions pertain to the position and into his liking then I am ready to answer some questions and inform and some of his close staff about me." Ms. Rose says and she smiles at me and then looks back at Cream.

"That we will do! Do you have your resume?" Cream asks and Ms. Rose digs in the envolppe and hands out a sheet to each of us but she hands me two, which was the same printed copy of resume.

"Just to make sure nothing happens to the first one I gave you. I want you to deifinitely remember me after this brief interview." She says.

"So, Ms. Rose. I think we are going to hop and have you explain who you are and tell us why you are so willing for this position." Cream says and Ms. Rose perked up and smiles me and Cream.

"Certainely! And I am going down from my resume if you want to follow along." Ms. Rose says and I start reading her resume but then my eyes go to her she speaks.

"For one, I am 25 years old and I graduated from college about two months ago with a business degree with the concentration of marketing and a little bit of global business so I definitely have a small taste of the business world when it comes to knowing your way around the world! And in fact, if you skip over all of my leadership roles and many clubs that I was the captain or president in, you probably have also seen that I have been an assistant and manger for a lot of business companies in my past years during college."

My eyes look down to the paper and I recognize one of the companies she worked for, and I meet her eyes and she was already smiling.
"You worked for Mr. Simpsons company?" I ask.

"Yes! I was there when you toured the company and got the deal from us. I'm not sure if you remember me or not but I stayed in back of that small tour and possibly sent you some emails during that! This also isn't my first time here because I went on the tour here as well and then I heard that you were looking for an assistant and after seeing you treat your company like a home, I couldn't pass it up."

"That's tremendous! So, you have even worked with our company?" Knuckles asks and again and Ms. Rose smiles and agrees.

"That is very useful-"

"So then you also know Mr. Simpson tried to trick me too." I state. "Where you apart of that too? You said you sent some emails so I am sure you saw something about him trying to get money from me something we didn't agree on."

I thought my question would throw her off but it seemed to excite her because I was asking her questions in the first place when I said I was not going too.

"Mr. Simpson did that a lot, I will agree which is why I quit. I don't when companies don't stay true to themselves to get and not just do it the normal way, with negoating so because of you quitting the deal with them, I quit right after seeing your email about him trying to trick you." Ms. Rose says and she switches her legs and that confident smile she had never dropped while she maintained eye contact with me.

"How do I know you won't do the same? You worked with him for two years so how do I know didn't learn any of his deceiving ways."

"I think its obvious." Ms. Rose says and moves her hair behind her ear. "I was working for a company has been a million-dollar company way longer than when you were starting your business in your apartment so why would I leave such a place with a better opportunity than here? Because I like how you do things and get what you want. You visualize your company the way you want to see it and slowly it starts to show. Also persistence is very shown from you just now becoming a million dollar company yourself so when you ask me would I ever betray you over a company or something if I were to have this position then my answer is going to be a quick and hard negative."

After what she said and her smile grew, showing her teeth she knew she had won me over in instant. Her confidence is unbreakable and so is her mental state.

Resilient.

Charisma.

Certified.

Experienced.

And slightly a smart-ass.

"O-okay… Um. Also, Ms. Rose what skills and strengths can you bring to this position." Cream asks and she sneaks me a small smile and I smile too as I look at her resume and read over her achievements.

"I'm loyal and reliable. Visionary and Creative. Always motivated to get the job done and a leader when I need to be. I also am very friendly and nice. Resoureful as well coming from many experinces of being in the business field and then I find myself very confident in my work and personality. I think would be a great fit here! Mr. Hedgehog hasn't stopped smiling since I talked about myself the first time and if I can keep his face like that then I think I am doing us all a favor!" Ms. Rose jokes and we laugh in my office. "But all jokes aside, I am everything I said and also everything shown in my resumé and even more than you think."

"I think you are too, Ms. Rose." Cream says and Ms. Rose smiles at that and then Cream looks at me.

"Do you have any questions?" Cream asks and sigh.

"If you are so reliable, could you start tomorrow at 8am." I ask and her eyes lighten up and Cream seemed shocked.

"Are you saying I got the job?" Ms. Rose asks and I shrug my shoulders.

"If you what you say you are. Reliable, resourceful and also confident that you can do the job then I don't see how working tomorrow would be a problem." I state and Ms. Rose stares at me for a moment.

"Yes sir. I would be more than honored to work tomorrow!" She says and I yawn and give her a small thumbs up and rise on my feet.

"Cool. Be at the front door at 8am." I say and Cream and Knuckles were still looking me like I was speaking to a ghost and Ms. Rose stood.

"Great! Should I bring anything? My laptop or-"

"Just a coffee. Cold brew with almond milk and caramel syrup add in. Make it hot." I say while I grab my jacket and keys.

"Coffee? Alright. Let me write that down." says and I listen o her scrapping for paper and a pen and I turn around and see her bending over and writing on my desk.

I look at her hand writing and that was astonishing too. Mostly everything she did started to look perfect and when she stood up and she extending her hand out to me.

"I forgot to you thank for this opportunity! I can't wait to get to know you, the staff and whatever you can teach me. I'll be here early and ready to learn."

"Great. Welcome to the team." I reach for her hand to shake it but my fingers slide into her soft palms and that makes me look at it. She held my hand gently as it motioned up and down and then I look at her eyes to see then still as happy as they were when I looked at them the first time until she winked at me, and I let her hand go.

"It was great meeting you all!" Ms. Rose turns with a spin and her clicking heels and then sun coming from behind my window shows a tattoo on her right shoulder blade, that I couldn't see that much but it intrigued as much as that wink did.

"Wait… did she wink at me- "

"Sir." Cream says and takes her resumé in a pile and then walks around the desk to me. "You hired her right away? You typically don't do that. Are you sure with your decision?"

"Psh. Who cares?" Knuckles says walking up and looks at the door to make sure she was gone before he said something he had to say. "Ms. Rose is hot. I say we start her immediately."

"Knuckles! That's not the correct way to think. She is more than hot she is very experienced and friendly."

"Hm. Ms. Cream agrees on her being hot as well so I think we should go through it!" Knuckles says and grabs his computer. "I'll get her into the system now, have her key card ready to get in the building, parking pass, ID… phone number-"

"Knuckles come on. Please don't go after my new assistant." I say and I grab my things and they do as well.

"Why not?" he asks and grabs the handle.

"This is a place of work. Not your social life." I say and I open the door and I forgot about the line of people waiting for me.

"Shit- UM EVERYONE THE INTERVIEWS ARE OVER. THE POSITION HAS BEEN FILLED!" Knuckles yells and complains soar over to me and everyone walks out slowly and we follow them and I look the door.

"Yikes. That was about twenty people you didn't look at…are you sure about this?" Knuckles asks being serious and I watch them all leave.

I personally felt like Amy Rose had it all. She seemed well and put together and young. Not so serious but willing to get the job done if needed. More importantly she had so much experience with being an assistant or a manager so her being here won't be a big change… or will it?

I don' t think I have anyone working at my job as confindent as her and even more confident than who had been working for me for years but still isn't as confident with hers words as Ms. Rose.

Then too… I need an assistant and I wasn't about to pass her up.

"Yes. I am sure."

Short story wee woo wee woo wee woo.
