"You look amazing, Sofia," Bella praised, her fake smile spreading across her face. She reached out, smoothing a non-existent wrinkle on Sofia's blazer. "That outfit is going to command the room."
Sofia beamed, the excitement of the interview giving her eyes a natural glow. "Thank you so much, Bella. For everything. I'll see you soon and hopefully with a job offer!"
"Good luck," Bella said, pulling Sofia into a tight hug. As she did, her eyes went cold, staring over Sofia's shoulder at the empty apartment. "You're going to get exactly what's coming to you."
"Thank you. I think I'm definitely going to need that luck," Sofia laughed, pulling away and heading for the door. She gave one final wave before stepping out and clicking the door shut behind her.
