He was dressed to impress, and with a easy smile, he was at least the picture of confidence, even if his stomach was doing flip-flops. Because not only was this his first day at the new job, it was the first day of a long audition process. What he was audition for was the roll of his father, CEO of Buckland Engineering. And despite the affection he felt for his father, and his father for him, the gig was anything but in the bag.
Meriadoc Brandybuck--or Merry, as he liked to be called--was riding the elevator up and up to the twenty-fifth floor. He wasn't alone in the little box, and he made sure to exchange smiles along the way, despite the way he actually felt. Nervous wasn't the word for it. Earthquakey. That was more like it. (Although, to be fair, earthquakes had been on his mind a lot lately, as California was well known for them. And California was a ways away from Texas.)
With a walk down the corridor and a moment to catch his breath by the door, Merry stepped into what was essentially a small lobby. The chairs were empty, except for the woman seated behind the desk. The receptionist. Merry walked to her, smile on his face, as always. "Hi there," he said. "I'm here to, well, take over." It was meant as a joke and the woman smiled. She greeted him and said they had been eager expecting him.
He continued. "Yes, now I spoke with a Miss Eowyn Eadig on the phone. Is she in yet?"
"Sure," the receptionist said. "I'll page her right away."
