Adam rubbed his face roughly as he slumped onto his desk. Today was not his day. None of the other applicants answered his call. He had to take care of a scuffle between his publisher Dan and Dan’s author, Steven. Dan had been hounding Steven for another book, but Steven hadn’t delivered, so Adam had to come in for the final warning. This pushed him back to two-thirty.
Then he had to get the hiring papers ready, but the toner was out. It took him fifteen minutes to replace it, and he got ink on the sleeves of his shirt and jacket. He didn’t notice the ink till Kelly from HR eyed his sleeves as she gave him new employee contracts. And the more he rubbed it in the bathroom, the worse it got. He just decided to roll and put his jacket away.
He was finally eating lunch, in his office alone. His stomach growled and he felt drool falling from his mouth as he unwrapped his roast beef sandwich. While his lunch was just the café roast beef sandwich and a black coffee, it didn’t matter. He only had fruit this morning. This was meat. His canines went sharper as he tore into his sandwich. His hunger was so strong, he didn’t notice that it was already three twenty.
Emma and Paige went into Enchanter’s Inc. They just met with George Aller, the author of their children’s book.
“I can’t believe George preferred Dabija over Crane!” Emma grumbled as she stomped into the building.
“Well,” Paige sighed. She held a Rose Hills’ company folder close to her chest as she followed Emma calmly. “He also preferred Dabija over who I chose too.” Paige shrugged. “I guess Mr. González knew who George would prefer too.”
“Or men are just simple-minded and childish,” Emma grumbled. “Especially, Mister González.” Paige opened her mouth but ended up closing it and shaking her head. Some of her graying brunette hair fell in her face. As she fixed her hair, she saw a beautiful young woman in a black sweater and a navy skirt standing in the lobby.
“I think that woman is looking for something,” Paige said quietly. She went towards the girl. Emma stopped her ranting and followed. Her steps were lighter. Paige stopped a couple of steps behind the woman. “Excuse me, are you looking for someone?”
