The store was mostly empty as Charlotte sat by the counter, tapping her nails on it. She glanced up at the clock on the wall and sighed with displeasure. It'd been two hours since she opened for business and not a single customer had come through the door. The only other person there was her only employee, Harold, who was in one of the aisles, stocking the shelves. Harold was in his late thirties but he looked like he was reaching his sixties, though Charlotte was forty five her appearance looked youthful compared to her employee; his balding hair was white-blonde, while hers was jet black. His eyes were brown, whereas hers were green. His face wrinkled and sunk, hers was spotless and graceful. Charlotte seemed to enjoy his company, although he was often quiet.
The bell above the door rang out as someone entered and Charlotte looked over to see a young and quite handsome eighteen year old boy with bright blue eyes and short black hair walking in. He was of Hispanic descent, with light caramel skin. He had a strong, broad and well defined body, his face was somewhat chiseled and attractive, and he walked with a confident swagger. He was wearing a blue tank top under a long, light green hoodie which were tucked into dark blue jeans.
"Can I help you?" Charlotte asked, looking him up in down.
He smiled and approached the counter, "Hi there. I was wondering if you guys were hiring? I'm looking for a job around here and I'm sure you could use a new employee right? My name's Armando."
Charlotte smiled. She liked the way his voice sounded when he spoke. It was warm and smooth and seemed to echo in her ears. She felt butterflies in her stomach and took a moment to compose herself, trying to act as normal as possible. "Yes, we are. I think you'd be perfect for the job. Why don't you come around back and we'll get straight to your interview."
Armando smiled went around to the back of the counter, he noticed Charlotte's large breasts which were straining against her t-shirt. They were very firm and round and he couldn't help but imagine how they must feel. Her waist was thin accompanied by wide hips. She turned around and led Armando behind the counter and into the small backroom. He looked down at her as she moved into the room, noticing that she had a good pair of legs that led up to her big round ass which jiggled as she walked.
They entered a mostly empty room with a few chairs and a table Charlotte sat down, gesturing Armando to sit next to her. They both sat down by the table, Charlotte faced Armando with her thick legs crossed. Charlotte smiled at him, feeling slightly nervous, but also excited at the same time. She cleared her throat and began her interview, "So tell me Armando, what kind of job are you looking for? We do a lot of different things here, from cleaning up, cashiering to stocking shelves."
Armando sat there, looking at her legs, and then back up to her face. "I can do anything, really. I've worked in fast food restaurants before, so I can work at a fast pace. I'm really good with my hands too, so I can do a lot of different jobs without much trouble."
She smiled, "So, you seem like you have a lot of energy."
"Oh yeah, I do. I just love being busy, always need to be doing something. I've always been like that."
She nodded, still looking at him with her big green eyes. She couldn't help but stare at him; he had a good build, an attractive face and a nice smile. His blue eyes seemed to have an intensity to them which caught her attention. Charolette regained her focus and continued "So, what would you say is your biggest strength?"
"My biggest strength?" Armando replied with a smile on his face, "I'm a fast learner and I'm really good with my hands. I can also handle a lot of stress and pressure."
Charlotte smiled, thinking how good he sounded, "What about weaknesses?"
He paused, considering what he could say that would not make him look bad, then finally he answered. "I think my biggest weakness is I'm kinda impatient sometimes, like I can get ahead of myself."
Charlotte took a moment to think about what he said. It sounded like he was smart with a lot of drive and motivation. He also seemed to be a hard worker who would fit in well. "That's not such a bad weakness to have. A little impatience can be a good thing, it keeps you moving forward."
Armando nodded, feeling pleased with himself. She didn't seem to dislike him at all, in fact he felt like he was winning her over. It was strange though; he thought that she'd be more critical of him, but instead she seemed to be more encouraging towards him.
Charlotte leaned closer to him and smiled, biting her lip, "Armando, you know what I think?"
"What?"
"I think you have what it takes to be an employee here at our store."
He looked up at her with his eyes wide, "You really think so?"
"I do. You'll make a good employee."
Armando let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you so much, I'll do anything you need."
Charlotte chuckled and sat back against her chair, "When can you start?"
"As soon as you want me to."
"How about tomorrow at 10:00?"
"Deal."
Charlotte grabbed a piece of paper from the table and handed it to Armando "Great, just take this home and fill it out, it's simple stuff like your number as well as your email in case I ever need to contact you."
Armando smiled and stood up from the table, as he took the paper. Charlotte rose as well, smiling as he came close to her. He extended his hand and shook hers firmly before saying goodbye and heading home.

The rest of the day was pretty uneventful, a few customers came in here and there. Charlotte arrived at her house and walked inside, set her keys down and sat on the couch. As she waited for Harold to come in and turn off the lights, she laid on the couch trying not to fall asleep. Her body felt heavy as she relaxed. Her husband James walked into the living room. He had a kind face with hazel eyes and slicked back brown hair. "How was work today?"
"It was okay."
James chuckled, walking over and sitting next to her on the sofa. He took hold of one of her hands and gave it a kiss, feeling how warm it was. "Any customers today?"
