3 The smell of home ( 3 )

In the building she had just entered was a strong scent that made it impossible for her to breathe . There was no way she would be able to work here . ' Well no harm in trying ' she thought and moved towards the reception desk . The women sitting there was a short and plump woman and looked around 30 . Putting on a smile Sandra spoke with a confidence that naturally emitted from her strong aura . " Excuse me , I'm Sandra Dellison. I was called for the job interview of an assistant to the manager " . The receptionist whose name tag read Mellisa Harper stared at Sandra with a sickly sweet smile that she saw right through . ' Such a fake smile why does she even bother ' Sandra knew better than to react and played along giving the receptionist one of her own cold and sly smiles she usually would reserve for those who dared tick her off . In the search of a job interview since the last four months Sandra was no stranger to the look that the receptionist was scrutinizing her with . It was filled with a contempt that screamed ' you're way below my status ' .Sandra did not mind it yet she was ticked off .

The receptionist gave her directions to the managers room and turned away . Sandra thought about putting back that woman in her place after her interview . She was certainly not her class but she did not appreciate the people who stepped all over her and tried to make her feel low . With her past as it was she had a lot of difficulty dealing with these situations with a cool head but she walked away with a smile on her face determined to get the job this time .

She was short for her age and looked like a school grader even though she was 21 years old . She had a cute face with eyes so innocent you wouldn't ever think this was the same girl who beat her classmate up because he cheated on a girl . Her small and plump lips had every man in town staring at them . Accentuating her figure she had long legs that were finely toned , Even with her height her legs were tall and beautiful . Overall she had a small figure that made her look like a child in need of help yet one look of her could send the guys scurrying to their sugar mommy .

Sandra slowly turned around the corner following the directions and came across the door whose name plate read Manager of the Architecture Dept . ( Mr. Eden Lars )

Knocking lightly she opened the door and entered . " Are you here for the interview ? " a deep voice came from the man sitting behind the desk in front . The room was decorated in a plain way and was clean with a fresh smell in the room . Sandra shook off her nervousness and sat down .

" yes sir , im here to be your assistant . Here's my resume "

The man was impressed with her confidence and went through her file before raising his head .

" Miss Sandra , you only have a degree in designing yet you seem confident that'll you'll get this job . "

Knowing that the man was asking an indirect question for the interview she smiled

" Sir , I believe it is the person mindset to do things not a paper that gives the results . "

Hearing her reply the manager already had her approved but to put things in a formal way he asked her whether she'd be able to handle the work

" Mr Eden , I dont give work my best try . I do work in my best way " Sandra was a positive girl even with all the shadows in her past she never lost belief that however hard the wall in front of her was she'd always do her best to take it down until either the wall or she collapses .

" I admire your personality , congratulations on securing your job Miss Sandra Dellison . Here is your contract and you can start from tomorrow . "

Ecstatic with joy Sandra thanked him and went out . As she closed the door behind her she collided into soemeone and fell . She took a deep breath as the smell of musk and vanilla essence hit her . Just as she fell she was caught by the guy who had collided with her . Giving Sandra a single glance he placed her on her feet and hurried onwards shouting at his assistant " Robert , hurry up . we dont have all day to catch clumsy ladies in our arms "

Hearing this Sandra snapped out if her daze and blushed hard , her face was tinted with a deep red on her cheeks . Rushing out she still couldn't forget the smell when she fell , she even forgot about the receptionist who had been glaring at her as she left with a contract in her hand . The smell had captivated her senses and rendered them bewitched . It had been so long since she'd felt so happy as she remembered the scent of musk and vanilla essence . It led her to think of the smell of her home long ago .
