CHAPTER TWO - PART TWO
Nep woke up early. She didn't know what force that she felt and feeling energetic of the day. Probably because of her new chance for her. Today would be her final job interview for the financial analyst position in Homer Textiles.
It is a big company. It was her target in the first time but she was losing energy for it. Although is was good transcript of records of her course of Banking and Finance and she was also impressive at working experience at her age of twenty-six. Her records just turned ugly because of her over and over again resignation that didn't even reached six months. But thank the Original Goddess, she was finally noticed of the Homer Textiles. She only needed was to show her boldness and give justice to her ugly records.
She just commute on the way towards the building of Homer Textiles. She wore a black open hoodie with purple accents. She didn't leave the mirror in her room unless she saw herself was very smart-looking. First impressions last that's why she must look her best.
When she arrived at the floor of the building to where the interview going to be announced, one aged lady whom she meet. The aged lady introduce herself as the secretary.
"Your interview with Ms. Heart will start in about five minutes." she said to her.
She smiled sweetly. Wait! Ms. Heart? It rang a bell. She quickly remove the face of Purple Heart that enters in her mind. Maybe this 'Heart' is just relative to her.
She inhale deeply and focused on her mental preparation for her interview. Why did it have her to be anxious when she just heard the surname Heart. For sure, there's many Heart around the Gamindustri. And she knows for sure that the one who's going to interview her is a man that is 50's or 60's.
She turned the door knob. Then she froze.
"Good morning, Ms. Planera. Have a seat." said by a maturely voice of a woman in front of her.
She felt her face lose color. She was truly shocked. Just a minute ago Purple Heart entered her mind. And now, she was the one who's mightily sitting on a boss' swivel chair.
Several seconds passed for her to returned her composure. She slowly seat on the vacant seat near the table.
"Good morning, Ms. Heart." Out of courtesy she must greet her properly. Uncertain of her smile.
"Let's start the interview so we finish it early. First, what do you know about our company?" The woman stared at Neptune as she asked an answer to her question.
She can't let herself be intimidate and lose her focus just because of the woman's beautiful gaze, "You're one of the biggest textiles companies in our country manufacturing braided handwoven textiles, as well as cotton and denim fabric. I have statistical researches regarding your financial stand for exporting textile and here and abroad."
"Looks like you researched this pretty good."
"Honestly, no." She replied back, "I'm not aware that you're the owner of this company. I was really surprised."
The woman just smiled, "It's the Original Goddess who owns this. She's True Arfoire. But because of her disappearance, I was left to take over this company. It's been years."
Neptune just nodded when she said this. To Neptune, Purple Heart was just twenty-nine but she raised this company from feet to head of her family.
"So when can you start working here?" Purple Heart asked.
"Am I hired, Ma'am?" Her mouth open in shock. That's her interview? That short?
"Yes. I want you to start as soon as possible." She said with a sympathy smile.
Neptune could feel her heart panicking because of the woman's smile than her announce that she was hired.
"I can work in the job tomorrow, Ma'am."
"Then, all is set. I will orientate you to one of my staffs for you to know the rules about your work. Are you available today for your whole orientation?" In the woman's tone held a professionalism but her voice was smooth and lacked of heaviness that will be Neptune's boss.
She looks like approachable and considerate. She was maybe a good person. Didn't she show goodness in her will when they met in the resort in Leanbox?"
She then slightly remember what happened between them in Leanbox. Maybe if she keep this on she will not meet her face to face anymore.
"I'm available all day. Thank you, Ma'am." That's the only words that escape the girl's mouth.
"You can call me 'Ma'am' if we're in the office hours, simply call me Purple." She smile again.
Neptune can't understand herself anymore. Why does every time Purple Heart smiled her face turned blank suddenly? She feels like the whole Gamindustri stopped moving. Why does her boss have to be so damn sexy and her brightly blue eyes?
Before she was being fetched to the person who's going to oriented her in her work, she put her mouth closer to her ear. She could feel her warm breathe tingling her sensations. She whispered to her, "I'll implement only two major rules for you- no more alcoholic and avoid being lonely."
Neptune didn't said anything because Purple Heart quickly leave her side.
