I remembered how happy and excited my mates were while setting the decorations inside our Human Resources Department office. Valentine's Day was approaching. I wished it was Christmas instead, where I can eat a lot.

The office was about to look blue when a cute girl in a yellow blouse and tight jeans entered our department. Some of my officemates turned their eyes to her while she approached my table. 

She would've failed right away by what she wore, but I kept on staring at her blue eyes. She smiled when I noticed how smitten I was. It was then she brought out her resume. I was floored.

Alice Levden was her name. She graduated from Sorbonne University. She worked part-time in a restaurant during her college days. She was the hottest French chick I ever met. I didn't listen much to what she said, as her accented English charmed me.

I was thinking of kissing her when my boss shouted my name. He stood a few meters away from my table. I couldn't tell if he didn't like the way I interviewed her.  The grumpy old man is not the type to bend any office rules. He approached my table and browsed through Alice's resume. He frowned when he looked at her job experience.

He told Alice right away that he would think about her application, and then call her a few days afterwards. She sensed that she won't be hired, but she didn't show her disappointment. She was rather courteous and charming when she thanked us for accommodating her. When the door closed, my boss scolded me for not being objective. I felt indifferent because I was able to memorize her contact number.
