"So tell me, doll, what makes you think you're cut out for this business?" The dark haired Spaniard had set himself up behind his desk, one leg casually resting over the other. In his lap was an impressive pile of head shots for the petite blonde across from him. The girl exuded nothing but confidence in the photos, but alone, in his office, he could sense her nervousness.
"Oh, well, I-" the girl cleared her throat to cease her stutters. Her body shifted straighter and she put on her most professional face. "As you can see by my head shots, I'm very photogenic. And I believe my resume speaks for itself."
"It does," he agreed, closing the folder and dropping it in the trash can by his desk. "But I am a firm believer that actions speak louder than words. This business is dark. Cruel, even. Something that pretty little things like you have never been exposed."
The girl looked stunned. "I'm not innocent," she confessed after a moment of silence.
Manuel quirked a brow. "No?" He could feel her growing trepidation and it only encouraged him to press her further. "Until you prove to me just how bloodthirsty you can be, I have no interest in you."
Slowly, the girl stood, fixing the end of her skirt as she considered her next option. With two long strides, she reached the door to his office and seemed to be ready to leave until, with a heavy clink, she locked the door.
Manuel hid a smirk from under his hand. The young ones were always so eager to please.
