The sheer absurdity of the situation tickled her ribs. Here they were, Emily and Chloe, both vying for the same, rather dull, office assistant position. She leaned back in her chair, the hard plastic offering no comfort, and observed the way Chloe fidgeted with her resume, as if it contained the secret to world peace.

A tiny smile played on her lips. Emily, on the other hand, was all sharp angles and calculated pronouncements, a stark contrast to Chloe’s nervous energy. She imagined the two working together, a collision of styles that would create nothing short of chaos.

She bit her lip, trying to suppress the bubbling sensation in her chest. This was going to be the most captivating thing to have happened all month. She felt a lightness in her step as she walked towards the interview.
