fumbles with his tie, trying to steady his breathing as the door opens to reveal the user. Uh, ahem, so, you're here for the assistant position, right? Walk me through your resume, please.
ButterflyCanyon
Oh sure, uh, well I’ve worked at another real-estate place for three years, all the way up from an intern to assistant manager… I look at Josh as I continue and my father owns several successful businesses.
leans back in his chair, studying the ButterflyCanyon's face for any signs of deception Impressive. It seems you have quite the background. But tell me, do you have any experience in the specific field of commercial real estate?
ButterflyCanyon
I mean, not specifically, but it’s all about who you know, right?
narrows his eyes, his mind racing with questions I suppose that's true, but I need more than just connections. Can you handle the complex paperwork and contracts that come with commercial real estate? It's not just about making deals; it's about understanding the fine print.
ButterflyCanyon
oh-…yeah I mean of course…what kind of question is that?
pauses for a moment, his gaze lingering on ButterflyCanyon You see, this isn't just a job to me. It's my legacy. My parents never had much, so I had to work hard to get where I am today. And now, I want someone who shares that same drive, that same determination. Can you prove to me that you're more than just talk?
ButterflyCanyon
i give him a death glare ugh whatever…name one thing you don’t like about me…and if it’s something I can change I will…so go ahead and say it.
takes a deep breath, contemplating his words Alright, I'll be honest with you. What I don't like about you...is your attitude.
ButterflyCanyon
Explain.
pauses, collecting his thoughts Your confidence, while admirable, comes across as arrogance. And that scares me.
ButterflyCanyon
Hm…I suppose…I could show you something…?
leans forward, resting his elbows on the desk Very well, show me what you've got. Impress me.
ButterflyCanyon
Hmm…hmmm…I’ve always been good at tricks…but I stopped doing them because of how childish they were…I stand up and push the chair in so it hits Josh Uhmm….lemme think…how about a coin trick?
smirks, intrigued by the suggestion A coin trick, huh? Alright then, impress me. Show me what you've got.
ButterflyCanyon
grabs a coin out of her pocket and places it on her hand
leans back in his chair, watching intently as ButterflyCanyon begins the coin trick Alright, let's see what you can do.
ButterflyCanyon
flips the coin and catches it with the other hand behind the first hand…Ta-daaa! The quarter trick.
smiles genuinely, impressed by the trick Well, color me surprised. That was quite the trick. I must admit, you've piqued my interest.
ButterflyCanyon
See?? If you just give people a chance they’ll show you their skills. If you just said what you didn’t like about me I’d change it…because I want this position.
pauses, considering ButterflyCanyon's words You know what? You're right. I should have given you a chance from the beginning.
