JP Cooper Glimpse of Us – Joji Chapter One Alivia I hate being late. It makes me feel uneasy, and the day always seems to go wrong whenever I have to rush first thing. Luckily, I made up for sleeping in after my alarm by skipping breakfast and rushing my shower. It’s so important that everything runs smoothly today. I pause at the large glass door and take a deep breath, holding it for a second before slowly releasing it and then composing myself. I pull the heavy door and step inside. My heels click against the white marble flooring and the sound echoes around the vast reception area. As I approach the glass desk, the receptionist looks up. Her perfect, flawless makeup makes me stare in awe. She is immaculate, with not a single crease in her bright white shirt. “Welcome to Cossacks. How can I help?” she asks clearly with a wide smile. “I have an interview with,” I pause, pulling the letter from my pocket and opening it, “Ms. Bradley at Glamour Cosmetics.” “Take the elevator to the second floor and report to the office there,” she says, pointing a well-manicured nail in the direction of the elevators. I follow her directions, and when the elevator opens, I step out onto more marble. This receptionist looks more relaxed, and she gives me a friendly smile. “Good morning. Are you here to see Ms. Bradley?” she asks, and I nod. “Please take a seat. She’s with her son at the moment but shouldn’t be too long.” I take a seat on a black leather couch and pull at the hem of my short grey dress. I used the last of my money to get this dress and I’m praying it gets me the job. I hear yelling from inside the office and I look at the receptionist, who rolls her eyes. “They always fight like that,” she explains. The office door swings open and a suited man walks out. His blue eyes fix on me, and I find myself holding in a breath. He’s gorgeous, and I can’t help but stare. His shirt pulls tight over his muscles as he moves, and I can see tattoos through the cotton material. “I haven’t finished yet, Vass, come back here,” shouts a female from inside the office. “Your nine o’clock has arrived,” he shouts back, pushing the button for the elevator. It opens and I watch him step in. He turns to face me, and we lock eyes before he smirks, winking as the doors slide closed. I release my breath and try to gain control of the butterflies now fluttering in the pit of my stomach. “Gorgeous, isn’t he?” The receptionist sighs dreamily. I glance at her and nod. “He’s the best fuck I’ve ever had,” she whispers, and I raise my eyebrows. “We aren’t together or anything. Vass is a playboy of epic proportions. I was lucky to get one night with him,” she explains. “Thanks for sharing,” I mutter, because, honestly, what else is there to say? “Ms. Caldwell, please come in. Sorry to have kept you waiting.” I look up towards the office to find an older lady with a kind smile. I stand, straightening my dress, and follow her inside the office. It’s immaculate. Everything inside is so shiny and white, it’s almost clinical. “I’m Jenifer, the CEO of Glamor Cosmetics. Do you use our products?” she asks, pulling out a blue file and placing it on her desk. “Honestly, no,” I say, and she glances up at me with an amused expression. “I use very minimal makeup, but I know all
