<span style="font-family:spectral">The weekdays at Cane Properties always started off slow. Hatice arrived at her office at exactly 7:00 AM sharp almost every single day. She bound herself to a strict, predictable schedule, so that she had spare time to indulge in private matters, while also retaining a work schedule that was imperative to her success inside and outside of her occupation. She was always there when Marcus needed her, day and night, and able to fill in when someone called off, though that kind of move was hardly allowed by Cane's standards. Unless someone was dying of a heart attack, it was crucial that the employees have acceptable reason to call off. Those who weren't willing to put in the effort that their job required were fired on the spot. <br/>
<br/>
Sun cast down through the tall glass windows and brightened up the area. With her pen to the desk calendar and phone to ear, Hatice wrote down the dates for future office events while simultaneously handling a phone call with a potential hire. Marcus glided through her office doors like a ballroom dancer, confident and determined. Hatice beamed at her employer and acknowledged his gesture immediately. He left and her interview steadily came to an end. Andrew Wilson sounded like a promising candidate so far, with a clear, pleasant voice and a good chunk of experience as a real estate agent.<br/>
<br/>
"-you should hear a call back from us within two weeks. Thank you for your time, Mr. Wilson." She hung up the phone and wrote down the time for the monthly update. Sales were flowing in steadily, a nice five percent increase since last month. Heels clacked against the laminate floor as Hatice stood up, grabbed her files, and made her way down the hall to Cane's office. She hummed, the fresh scent of arabica coffee greeting her day outside of his door. The round, white mug somehow complimented the rich, chocolate overtones; her favorite kind of morning drink. A second mug was pulled down from the holder on the wall and filled up. <br/>
<br/>
Hatice knocked on the office door and once Marcus acknowledged her presence, she tucked her files underneath her right arm this time and walked through the doors with two steaming cups of coffee in her hands and another bright smile on her face. "Good morning, sir." She approached Marcus directly, eyes meeting his as she handed him his mug before setting her own down on the table nearby. "I hope you had a good night's rest. I've already scheduled all your meetings for next month and updated our listings. I was able to get in a phone interview with a possible hire early this morning, but he didn't sound like he'd have thick skin. His name is Andrew Wilson, he has seven years experience in real estate, which is good."<br/>
<br/>
She opened up her files and handed Marcus Andrew's resume. <br/>

"What do you think?"</span>
