I walked nervously into the large office; my feet shuffled their way to the padded chair in front of Mr. Cullen's desk. I couldn't help but stare at him. His pale skin made his golden eyes pop, and the way his light brown hair was perfectly placed…. I wanted to swoon, but I kept my cool. If I want this job I have to act professional.
Before I actually took a seat, I lifted my hand towards Edward to shake. He shook my hand firmly and sat back down.
"Hi, my name is Isabella Swan, but you can call me Bella."
"Hello Bella," He nodded. "May I see your resume?" He asked.
"Oh. Yeah. Sure." I stumbled on my words, embarrassed I forgot to give it to him in the first place.
I took out the paper from my purse, and looked up to hand it to him.
"Impressive." He nodded.
I smiled; glad with his reaction.
"So how old are you Bella?" He asked.
"I'm twenty."
He nodded, and continued to look at my resume.
"I see here you were an intern for only a year at Vogue, what happened? If you don't mind me asking…"
"Oh no, it's okay." I half smiled. "I actually quit… it's kind of a long story."
"I'd love to hear it someday, but…" His phone cut him off. "Sorry, I have to take this." He got up and started mumbling into his phone.
I looked at the items on his desk. There were multiple papers scattered everywhere, pens and pencils in a holder, a laptop, and a clock. I couldn't help but notice one other eye catching item; it was a picture. The frame held a black and white photograph of a beautiful woman and an attractive man, side by side. The two looked so happy together, I wonder who they were. I felt a tinge of jealousy, not towards the woman, but towards how happy they looked. I knew I was happy in life, but I always wondered what it was like to find someone in my life to make me feel even more than happy, something words couldn't describe. I wanted to know what it was like to love.
Edward returned to sit as his desk, and I snapped out of my gaze.
"I'm so sorry Bella, but I'm afraid our time is up. I'll take a longer look at your resume, and I'll get back to you." He smiled at me, his beautiful crooked smile.
I left the office in awe.
