Ezra looked up a bit, with a wide smile on her face. Just then a tall muscular man entered the room and smiled a bit looking at Ezra. Ezra looked at the boy with thick spectacles and baggy clothes. He was pretty much good looking, in spite of his messy hair and wrinkled clothes.
He was looking at Ezra for the first time and he could not help but feel surprised. The girl was even more beautiful than what she looked in the newspapers and magazines. Her beautiful natural skin was flawless and glowing. He could not help but look at her in amazement, how lovingly she was patting the puppy and with so much adoration she was feeding it food. He had not expected that his interview will be taken by the CEO, herself and he would not meet any strict boss but a beautiful and kind girl.
"Good evening madam." He nodded his head and smiled. "Thank you for giving this opportunity to me."
"Good evening. You deserve it as I saw, how you saved this puppy's life. Please be seated." Ezra smiled and then stood up on her feet, walking towards her chair.
The two of them seated themselves on their respected chairs, while he handed over his now dirty doc.u.ments to her. "Sorry, but they are a little dirty. They fell down on the road."
"No problem." The girl started to study the boy's doc.u.ments and looked at him in surprise. "You have been a topper in your entire academic year and have also, set several world records in mathematics and algebra. Interesting." She spoke with much admiration and then looked at him. "Then why do you want to join me as a secretary? Why not go in a company that suits your field, Leo." She asked looking at the handsome boy. She could not help but notice how well defined square shaped jaw the man had, with a sharp nose and mysterious grey eyes. He had subtle beard on his face, as if he did not get time to even shave his face from a few days.
"Well madam, I did work for a few multinational companies but then I did not get much opportunity to expand my skills. I am looking for a job, which not just enhances my skills but also helps me achieve my goals." The man spoke up in a pensive mode.
Ezra frowned a bit, looking at the boy. "And if I may ask, what exactly are your goals that you think, working under us can help you in achieving?"
"Well madam, from past several years, I have been researching on how natural substances can substitute animal products. Currently your company is only dealing in cosmetics, but I believe with your vegan concept, we can take this company ahead with manufacturing of several products like bags, shoes, wigs, clothes and even jewellery. I have been researching on this topic for several past years and have come with several positive test results in my lab. From the time, I saw the advertis.e.m.e.nt to work under you, I have been completing the data to show you that how I can use my research analysis for your company." Leo quickly opened his laptop and opened a file and then turned it for Ezra to see.
Ezra looked at the screen and was instantly impressed at the man's research. Not only had he written the accurate substance required to make cosmetic products, which they were already using but he head also written it fro several other products too. "Hmm... this can surely be helpful for us. And if I may ask, what is the reason behind so much hard work? With your skills you could have been earning millions by now by setting up your own company or something."
"I am a simple man, madam. I have been brought up with a set of ethics and values. My father died when I was too young and since then my mother brought me up single handily, teaching me how to be compassionate towards others specially animals." He smiled thinking of his mother.
Ezra looked at the boy with sad eyes and then once again turned to look at the laptop screen. "So this was the reason you were late for the interview. I see."
"Yes madam." Leo nodded his head, once again admiring her beautiful face as the bright light from the laptop fell on her face, illuminating her light brown eyes.
In the meanwhile, the white colored puppy had now finished eating its tasty meal and ran towards Leo in much happiness. It barked a little nudging Leo's pants with its mouth. Leo looked at Ezra with hesitation as the puppy was constantly trying to tear off his pants with its mouth.
"It is ok. Look at it first." Ezra smiled looking at the man's hesitant face.
Leo smile and nodded and then bent a little, picking up the puppy in his arms. ''What is it?"
As soon as Leo placed him up in his arms, he was suddenly aimed right on his stomach with a trail of dog pee. The man looked at the puppy in horror as it had just peed on his entire sweat shirt. "What did you do?" he whispered to the dog.
The puppy in retuned wagged its tail happily, taking out its tongue and looking at him with its playful blue eyes.
Ezra could not help but giggle looking at his stained sweat shirt and the dog's dancing h.i.p.s.
She as now constantly giggling while Leo pursed his lips in embarrassment, and after a few seconds he could not help but himself laugh at his own self. "This is my worst interview ever. This is so embarrassing." He had still pursed his lips and was nodding his head in disapproval putting down the puppy on the carpeted floor, which as now rolling on the soft carpet happily.
"It is ok. Even if you feel this is your worst interview. You are hired Leo. From tomorrow you will not only be working as my secretary but also as the head of the research and development branch." She smiled, giving him back the doc.u.ments and the laptop.
