Private Finished Assistant Needed

He hadn't been on the island long but Kalvin knew he wanted to do something productive here. There was studying, but at this point, he was mostly just reviewing the lessons he learned before he gave up on studying before. He wasn't too excited to start college all over again, but Kal knew how much his memory on medical technicalities can fail him.

And so, here he was, sitting in a posh but somewhat rustic reception area, wearing the most formal clothes he had when he ran from his past life. He figured he'd go out to actually shop for more clothes but the stipend the school gave wouldn't be enough to cover that. Heck, if there was an underground fight club here, he was sure he could make money from there. While he hasn't found one yet or whether one exists at all in Manta Carlos, the best Kal could do is to get an actual job.

In one side of the room, an office door opened and a pair walked through. They were better-dressed than most of the other employees in the place so Kal decided they held high positions. Also, they held an aura of authority and power with their statures alone. As the woman stepped away, Kal stood up and straightened his grey long sleeve shirt. When the older man looked over to him, he gave a polite smile. He knew enough to wait until he was addressed before he did or said anything.

"Yes, sir," Kal said, giving a nod. He stepped forward and reached to shake the man's hand. Luckily, he was offered a right hand to shake, which meant there wasn't much need to give much attention to the missing left hand. He made sure to give a somewhat firm handshake, as he was taught. If he got accepted, this was going to be his first job after so long in underground fighting rings. Notably, it's going to be his first job in Manta Carlos. He needed to make it work.

"You can call me Kal, sir," he offered as he pulled back his hand. He made sure to stand straight and talk with confidence. He wasn't all that too nervous but that doesn't mean there's no anxiety behind his polite smile. He'd never really thought to get a job like this before. When he sent out his applications, he didn't really expect a response, much less an interview. Not from a big company like this, at least.

Kal took quick stock of the general ambiance in the office as he followed the older man in. He took the offered seat, his back remaining somewhat stiff. He neatly placed his hand and the stub on his lap as he sat. Better let his potential employer see it now. Not that Kal's any less efficient without his other hand. "Well, of course, sir," he answered politely still. "Although, I am still new to Manta Carlos. I assume it won't be too different from the clerical work outside of the island."

Kal nodded. "I'm sure I'll find a quick way to handle anyone too eccentric," he said. How hard could it be to take phone calls from fish people or plant people? Plus, he's pretty sure that the clients of such a big company are business owners or maybe even owners of smaller companies. They shouldn't be too difficult to speak with.

"Yes. I've been privy to handling some of the paperwork in a cafe I worked in before I got here. When I was younger, I helped my father manage our little store back at home. He'd taught me how to do some of the more clerical bits of the work." Kal licked his lips. Had he done PR work before? He wasn't sure that calling for bets in the underground fighting rings counted. "I also pull my experience with dealing with the public from those past jobs. Mostly, I've worked in food service jobs in the past. Being a waiter, I've learned now people can test one's patience. If there's anything I have, sir, it's a lot of patience and a cool head."

Kal smiled, getting a little excited that he was giving a good impression. This interview was going well, so far. He nodded when he'd heard about the granddaughter. He had suspected they were close. He had suspected a family relation between them, too.

"Unfortunately, I'm also going to Starlight Academy, sir. Since I get only a few classes in the day, I'm sure I can find time to do the work needed. My classes are often in the morning hours, too." Being the only person who took the major he did had its perks. "My weekends are free so I can work or travel if I need to."
