I sigh and pinch the bridge of my nose when the previous applicant runs out of my office crying. I suppose I could’ve been a little ”nicer” when telling her she’s not qualified for the position, but come on, the world would be a horrible place if all anyone edit was sugarcoat everything. Blunt is good.

I’m the CEO of a large company in London that handles the finances for several high level clientele, and I recently became in need of a new assistant. This is a very important business I handle here and I can’t just hire anyone off the street, so it’s almost laughable the people who’ve come in today so far. However, I would prefer to have someone hired by the end of the day, so I’m starting to get irritated.

“Next!” I yell from my seat at the desk in my office, tossing the previous girls file in the trash can and rubbing my temple while I glance out through the large windows that look over the city.
