Chapter 2 JOB INTERVIEW

Emily's POV

Okay! That was just rude. Why would he do that? I was only trying to to be nice. He had no reason to shout at me like that. What was even the purpose of removing my hand severely harsh from his chest, I said sorry a dozen of times. I get it, he was upset but he was just being unnecessarily rude, he even gave me the annoyed look.

But I think I know that man from some where if I am not mistaken. His face is quite familiar though. Even though, his too handsome to be rude like that. Well, I guess the cuter they are, the more arrogant.

Anywhere let me rush to my interview. I can't have bad luck twice a day right. What could go wrong again?

I patted myself with my everyday motto "lift your head high and take over the world." I called an Uber, I was already running out of time and my interview was starting at 7.30 a.m. Well I was told to be there by that time.

My Uber arrived in 5mins and thank Heavens I was there in time, at least a bit earlier with 10 minutes. It was quite a relief, I even wiped an invisible sweat on my forehead.

I greeted the receptionist and told her I was there for an interview. She was pretty nice though, she then directed me to where I was supposed to go and wait to be called in. My mind just kept going on back to that guy I bumped into at the coffee shop as I sat there awaiting my fate. I can't place his face yet but I know I will figure it out.

I looked at my watch and I was pretty nervous and a bit shaky as I sat there there because any moment I was going to be called for the interview.

A couple more minutes passed by and I saw a girl coming and she called my name and told me to follow her. She was all smiles, beautiful and quite curvy.

We reached at a door, she gave me a go ahead to enter into the office.

The office was very big and you could see it was designed to suit a billionaire office design. It's partitions you could see that they were made to see better days of the future. It was glass all over and the floor was well polished and made from the best marble. I could actually see myself as I looked down.

I walked towards the man in front me and he instructed me to sit down. The man had a serious face and I could see he meant business. I was actually afraid if I was going to make me pass the interview. Could this day get anymore worse for me.

"I am Rick Ferreri and I will be conducting your interview today since Mr Kruger is not here today. He was supposed to do this himself but was called to a very important meeting." The man said seriously and did a light cough to clear his throat. I just nodded just to make him see I was listening, what could I have possibly said in this scenario. The old serious man didn't make the interview very hard though and I was glad I was able to respond to him.

After the interview was done, the man told me they were going to call me and tell me if I was getting the job after a week if Mr Kruger approved. I nodded and was told to go.

After my interview, I went for a little window shopping for clothes since I didn't have anything to do anymore. I wanted to time to pass by.

After a while, I headed home. I called an Uber and I went home. When I got home I saw Sydney, my best friend, busy watching reality TV show. It was her off day today so she had nothing to do.

"You know some of these reality shows they aren't real, they are all scripted." I said teasing her to get her attention.

"Oh please, girl. At least they script it goooood." Syd esclaimed as she stood up and came to were I was to give me a hug. "How did the interview go?" she asked with a little smile on her face.

"It went well than I expected. I can't complain, the manager said they will call me when the CEO accepts since he traveled for a meeting out of the country. I hope I get this job Syd. I really hope." I said as I walked to sit on the kitchen counter chair. "But if you had seen the seriousness on that man's face Syd, you might be worried for me. Yes it went well but I couldn't tell if I impressed him, you know. Anything can happen, things can go the other way round," I said but I was troubled, concerned and worried deep in my soul

"Girl be positive, you'll get it. I know you nailed it. I trust you and you should trust yourself too." Syd said as she brushed her hand lightly on my lap to give me some assurance. "Thank you girl, I needed that." I said holding her hand that was on my lap.

"By the way do you want to go out and get sandwiches at that food truck down town. Those sandwiches will be the death of me. They have the best BBQ sauce ever." Syd said from the other side of the kitchen were she was pouring herself a glass of water.

"Can you wait a bit, let me just freshen up a bit then we can go. I want to wear something comfortable and casual than this pant suit." I replied then I stood up and went to my room. "Okay cool." Syd responded.

So I rushed to my room and and I put my bag down and phone. I removed my clothes and headed to the bathroom to take a quick shower. As I was wrapping the towel on my chest I looked at the mirror and just sighed. I was a relatively short and slim, 5foot1 to be precise and most of the times I had to actually wear very high heels. I had gotten used to wearing high heels even for long periods of time and not have a problem. My curves were enough to fit my structure and a cute bum compliment my figure. My boobs were perfect for me. My hair was very long, long enough to reach my bum when I don't tie it in a high pony tail. I smiled to myself before I exited the bathroom.

I took out my dark blue high waisted ripped boyfriend jeans and a white cropped top. I put on my clothes and put on my white sneakers. I removed my hair from the high ponytail I had put in the morning and let it loose.

"Emily! Are you freshening up a whole cow. What are you still doing girl?" Syd shouted whilst budging into my room.

"Haha, yes I am freshening up a cow. I am done now, we can hit the road. Let's go." I said as I push her out of the room and I also go out and closed the door behind me. We got into Syd's car and drove off. We were having some chats on our way.

"When are you going to go and take your car from the garage. I thought the mechanic was supposed to be done by now fixing your car? " Syd asked.

"I think maybe next week. He called me two days ago to tell me he was almost done. You know that accident really did the car bad. Thank God I came out with only a scratch." I answered. I remember the incident very clearly in my head of how I became the victim of a drunk driver and reckless driving. I was doing a u-turn and this drunk guy was driving off-limit and very fast, came from the side hit the back of my car really hard. My car swayed three times from the impact and it a building on the passenger side. I was literally screaming my lungs out. I thought I was going to die.

"Yeah, at least you were okay." Syd nodded and smiled patting my shoulder. It was a really short drive. We found a parking spot and got out to go and bought our sandwiches. We found a table and sat down just chatting about random things and enjoying each other's company. I even told her about morning incident. My phone rang and it was an unknown number. I normally don't answer unknown numbers but something just pushed me to answer this one.

Emily: Hello?

Rick: Hello, is this Emily Coleway?

Emily : This is she. Who's this?

Rick: Okay good, this is Rick Ferreri from The Krugers Empire and Holdings. We would like to inform you that you have been given the job you applied for and you're starting work with immediate effect. Be at work at 6a.m sharp tomorrow.

Emily : What!? Thank you so much. I'll be there and I won't disappoint.

The call ended and I screamed and Syd just screamed the more with me. After some almost a minute of screaming and jumping up and down. Syd then asks, "Why are we screaming and jumping?"

"I got the job Syd, I got the job and I am starting tomorrow morning." And we just screamed the more.
