"Is there one that you like?" Abigail asked after all the interviews were over.

There was one, but I felt like ignoring it strictly on principle. Based strictly on performance and how well they would be at the job right off the bat, the best candidate was Sophia.

Although both could do the job, Assistant was a better fit for what I was looking for than Secretary.

With that in mind, she had the highest level than all the others.

The only problem was I knew what people would say. She just happened to be pretty. Not that I was biased just because of a beautiful face, but because she was the best fit.

It helped that she was personable and easy to talk to without being a sycophant. Half of them were too busy trying to grovel and kiss my ass that I wanted to kick them out right away.

"Sophia is the best fit, but I'm thinking of choosing Matthew instead," I said.

Matthew was the second best option. His Profession was a little different, being a Personal Assistant, but it was close enough to work. He also had a decently high level in it.

"Oh, the pretty blonde? Who could've guessed?" She said with such fake surprise.

"Why is it funny? She's the best fit from an objective point of view." I defended a tad too heatedly.

"Objective, really?" Abigail questioned, "Just to clear things up, how many of your ex-girlfriends were blondes?"

"That has no bearing on this decision."
