"Welcome to Krist's House Reno, how can I help you?" I spoke into the phone with a fake chirpy Barbie-type voice, I was exhausted.

"Hi. I was wondering if you had any interior decorator-type jobs available?" The voice on the other end asked

"Let me check. Please wait one moment." I put the person on hold and dialed Krist's cell number.

He picked up on the third ring, "What's wrong sweetheart?"

"Do we have any interior decorator positions open?"

"I don't think so. But you can tell whoever it is that they can come in for an interview tomorrow at 3."

"Umm, You know tomorrow is our anniversary right?"

"Of course! It'll only take about, what, 30-40 minutes?" Krist reassured me, "I gotta go. The pool in this new reno needs to be resurfaced, Hiccup has tons on his plate with this place as it is."

"Bye." I went to hang up but he already hung up on me.

I picked up the phone and opened the line again, "Hi again."

"Oh hi! Are there any openings?"

"Krist would love to interview you tomorrow at 3pm. It'll take about 30-40 minutes. Is that okay?"

"Oh! That's wonderful! Thank you so much! See you tomorrow!" The person hung up

I didn't even get it's name.

I sighed and straightened up some papers on my desk. I love Krist and all but I hate this secretary office job he reserved 'just for me'.

I took several folders and walked over to various desks and offices, placing them on Hiccup's, Krist's, and other workers desks.

There are no girls allowed on the reno sites while the reno is going on. It's for 'safety'. But when it comes to the interior design, the girls can come in and help.

It's stupid.

The office's a main door opened with the jingle of a bell, I rushed back to my desk.

"Can I help you?" I asked the dark-haired man

"Yes. Is Anna in her office?" He came toward the secretary desk

"Why are you wondering?" I asked uncertainly

"I have a job offer for her."

"She's not in at the moment, I can take a message." I told him getting out a sheet of lined paper

"Just give her this. Tell her to call me if she's interested." He handed a sheet of folded paper and a business card, "Thanks." He then walked out the door.

It closed with a jungle.

I read the card and the sheet:
