[M] The Contract (1/1)
With your hand firmly on the doorknob you knock gently before actually opening the door. Inside there is an empty room except for a big table at the back. There sits two people behind the table, a very thin and beautiful woman and an older man with very stylish hair. They both smile as you approach the table. “Hello, are you here for the interview?” the woman says.“Yes, I’m ~~~~~~~~” you say.“Have a seat Miss ~~~~~~~~,” the man says in a raspy voice. After looking at a few papers he speaks again, “So your friend recommended you?”“She did, she told me it was nothing far from what she does herself.” You say.“Miss ~~~~~~~~, after looking at your papers we became very interested in you. There are just some things I should tell you before I give you the contract to look over.” The man says to you.“Of course.” You reply.“Firstly, you will have to move into a new place with other people you don’t know just yet. This is a highly exclusive job. Any information you receive, or hear is not to leave this facility. Whatever experiences you have within your job and its requirements must also, remain a secret. Even this contract, when it is in your hands and everything within it must remain between us and if it were to fall into the hands of someone else you will be held responsible and it will not end well for you.” You are trying to take in everything he is saying. It’s very shocking, even the way he said, ‘remain a secret’ was intense. But he wasn’t done yet. He continued this time more cheery, “However, if you take this job Miss ~~~~~~~~, you will be taken care of extremely well, and we will promise to try and fill your needs so that you can be happy as well.”You try to gather your thoughts before speaking. you think of what to say to impress them.“Well…I’m glad you told me all of this. Honestly I am very thankful. I think if you are still very interested in me, I’d like to take the contract and look over it for tonight if possible. I can be trusted and it will not be in anyone’s hands but mine.” The two give a look to each other and in that instant, a phone rings. It is the woman’s phone, she shows the screen to the man next to her and then says to you, “One moment please.” Then she takes the call. She tries to talk quietly to the other person on the line. All you can make out from her conversation is a ‘are you sure?’ and a ‘But sir…”When her call is finished the room seems to be filled with utter silence as she walks back over to her seat. After she sits, she grabs some papers off the desk and hands them to you, “You may have it for tonight and tomorrow you will return at the same time, same room with it signed or not to give us your final answer.” The woman’s voice is stiffer than before but you bow your head to her and the man’s direction and say a “Thank you.” You get up, grab the paper and take it with you out the door, down the elevator and on its way to your house.When you first get home you don’t even look at the contract. You set it aside and think to yourself if this is what you really want. With all the rules and regulations you wonder if you can handle it. Something sparks in you! This is what you want, right? A chance at a different life…a life that can be special. You skim through the contract not really reading it, and then sign your name at the bottom. “I’m ready for this.” You say to yourself. You set the contract back down and head off to make dinner.
