I woke up to sunlight filtering in through the windows. I stood up and stretched. I looked down and noticed I was still wearing my red dress from last night's party.
Steve was the first thing that came to my mind. His beautiful, ocean-blue eyes. His adorable smile. His spiky hair that I just wanted to run my fingers through. No, I needed to pull myself together. I needed to get to work, which at a glance at the clock, I was late for. I sighed. My boss wasn't going to like this. I grabbed my brush and started to brush my hair. I got my work clothes on: a nice white shirt with a black skirt and black flats. Besides, I added as I slipped on my flats. I might not see him again. I shouldn't get my hopes up.
I had just picked up my purse, when the doorbell rang. "Coming!" I called back. I looked through my little peep hole to find a man in a suit and tie waiting patiently for the door to be opened.
I unlocked the door. The man looked to be about in his 40s with black, graying hair. "Hello, Miss Jade, I'm Agent Thomas. I'm with S.H.I.E.L.D." He then showed me identification. He went on, not even giving me enough time to reply. "We have been recommended that you join us. Our interpreter just retired. I understand that you speak five different languages?"
I nodded. "Yes. I speak fluent English, Russian, German, French, Italian." French and Italian I learned at high school and Russian and German I took a class for. I had always been interested in language, and worked my butt off to learn a lot.
He smiled. "Well, could we have an interview right now?" Now?
"Sure." I ushered him in, and let him sit on the couch.
He looked around. "This is a nice place you've got here, Miss Jade." I smiled. "It's not much, but it's home." He then interviewed me, asking what high school I went to, where I worked now, etc. When we were finished, he thanked me and told me I would be informed soon if I got the job.
As he was about to leave, I stopped him. "Who recommended me?"
He smiled. "Tony Stark, Miss Jade. He informed us about your many skills and talents." Oh, Tony…. I thanked him and bid him goodbye. When he left, I sighed. If I went to work now, I would be 2 hours late. Might as well call in sick. I called the office. Luckily, my boss was sick today, so the assistant boss answered. He was much more friendly and reasonable. When I finished, I realized I didn't have anything to do. I picked up the TV remote, and flipped through channels. I couldn't find anything.
After a few hours of finally finding something to do-cleaning, my phone rang. I put down my duster and pressed "answer". It was Agent Thomas. "Miss Jade? You're hired. I will be picking you up tomorrow morning at 8 to show you our headquarters. Also, you will be working with The Avengers as well." My heart started pounding. Steve. I thanked him and wondered when I would be telling my boss I was quitting…... I'll do it tomorrow.
