When Belle goes for her job interview she don't have the slightest idea that Blake Enterprise is soon going to convert into Hunter Enterprise. Her past still haunts her and have left a terrible scar on her soul. She only prays that she fits the job...
Belle twists and turns restlessly in her sleep. The same nightmare have been haunting her since she has had her accident when she was twenty. She gasps when she opens her eyes, now wide awake, sweat drenching her body. Wiping the few tears that have escape from her eyes, she lays back. But this time she don't fall asleep in fear of having the dreadful dream again. She checks the time. 4 o'clock in the morning. She still have four hours left for her interview at the Blake Enterprise. Eyes fix blankly on the ceil, she wonders when her life will be in peace again. Not wanting to dwell on the past again she decides to go for a run. It will help her in clearing her mind and she could use some fresh air as well. It is still early but it does not matter. Wearing a pair of her worn out nikes and a pair of yoga pants and a jacket, she left her house. She runs till the park, welcoming the crisp, cool air on her face. Feeling already tired, she sat on a bench facing the rising sun. A smile make its way on her face when she feels the first ray of sunshine on her face. Seeing these type of view, she always feels hope in her heart that things will definitely work out one day. With time flying by, she knows that someday everything will settle down in her life. But when? She doesn't know. She's just holding that tiny spark of hope in her heart. As she watches the sun rising inch by inch, she feels like it's the start of a new beginning. She feels something is going to happen. No matter how much her head disregard this notion, her heart tells her the opposite. Since the incident, she had lost all her hope, but today sitting in the park and watching the sunrise, she couldn't help but feel a new hope rising along it. Her phone vibrates and she clicks on the message.
"Are you already up? You have your interview in one more hour, Belle" "I'm already up, Mia. I'm just going to get ready."
She clicks send and runs all the way to her home again. Mia is her best friend since kindergarten. She have always stood by Belle's side no matter what. They are practically sister. They were living together until recently Mia's boyfriend told her to move in with him and of course Mia was not ready to leave but Belle practically forced her to leave because she have her own life. She did not want to be a thorn in her best friend's way. As for Mia, she's very protective towards Belle and the latter understands why. Since her accident and her break up, Mia was there to pick her up again. She was the one who took care of her and Belle couldn't be more grateful. Through Mia, Belle got another insight at life and she will always be thankful for this.
Belle, quickly takes a shower and gets ready. She's wearing her best outfit she have and flats. It's a simple knee length black skirt and a grey long sleeve blouse.

She checks her appearance and finds herself decent looking. She couldn't do much with her pale face though. Beneath her eyes are dark ugly bags. Her brown eyes look dull and her cheeks are more hollow than ever.
"So ugly", she mouth at her reflection dishearten. Unfortunately, she does not even knows how to apply makeup. It's Mia who always does her makeup. However she tries to apply some concealer to hide the bags underneath her eyes. Finishing with her face, she puts her light brown hair into a high ponytail. Once she's satisfied with her appearance, she takes her cv and other documents which is needed for the post and locks the house.
Belle takes the bus and when she reaches at the Blake enterprise, she thanks God silently for making it there on time. The receptionist see her approaching and exclaims encouragingly, "Are you here for the interview?" Belle nods. "Follow me". She smiles and leads the way and Belle couldn't help but admires the interior design. Smooth polish floor are shining and she could almost see her reflection on them. The last time she was here, it was three years ago but now the place have change a lot. As she sits in the waiting area among the other candidates, she feels a strange feeling in the pit of her stomach. Earlier the place was comforting but now she couldn't help but feels intimidated by it. The atmosphere itself feels cold and somewhat terrifying. She shakes her head slightly and tells herself to not imagine things.
She watches as one by one candidates enter and left the room. Some were angry and some look like they are ready to cry. Taking a deep breath, she prays to God to let her turn pass well. She really needs the job. She knows she could do the job well because it includes taking notes and making them into useful documents for the company. She could do this and it does not even need her voice. Apparently the CEO already had his P. A but needs another one to help with the work loads. She clutches her portfolio tightly in her hands and waits for her turn. "God, please let me have this job. Please." Belle prays silently.
Her head snaps up when she hears her name. Heart beating frantically in her chest, she pushes the door slowly and could hear murmuring.
"I wish you were here Esme. I'm going mad with this interview. You promised to help me"
The voice is almost pleading on the phone and Belle heart's slams hard in her chest. No. It can't be him. She tells herself but when she hears the voice again, she feels as if someone have knock the wind out of her. She can recognize that voice from anywhere. The man behind the desk was facing the window and is not aware of Belle presence yet. He looks engross in his phone call and Belle herself feels her legs rooted near the door. She admires the brown messy hair and waits for the man to take notice of her. Instinct tell her to run from there, but her legs refuse to move.
"No this is Blake Enterprise. He can't be here." She thinks to herself.
The man finishes his phone call and Belle hears him sigh before speaking on the phone again. "Where is the other candidate, Miss Smith?" The person on the other side of the phone must have say that the candidate is already inside because next thing Belle sees is the chair swiveling around and a pair of shock grey eyes staring at her.
