The woman looked up from her book at the newcomer. Finally, her spendings on the building, the newspaper ads, and everything else she had done paid off.
"Hello. I am Magnolia Harlance, the owner of this building and this business. If you'll just take a seat," she says, gesturing to a wooden chair in front of the desk, "we can get started." Magnolia slid the book to the side of the desk, then pulled a clipboard and a sheet of lined paper from the drawer on her right. "First of all; your credentials." She holds out a hand for them. "Then, once I've approved these, I'll have a few more questions."
Magnolia knew that she would hire this person, if only because he was the first to show interest, but she had to go through the entire hiring process nonetheless. It was quite tiring, yet worth it in order to maintain her professionalism. The others in this business already looked down on her enough; she didn't want a reputation of looseness. She had to keep up the act, as always.
