The following day,Zara stepped out of her small apartment,in search of a job,she had already been to several firms and organization looking for a job but have been rejected,
Just as all hope was seen to be lost,as she walked down the street,she came and stood at the gate of a luxurious mansion,
Zara's eyes landed on the help-wanted sign, that was put up on the walls of the fence,her eyes were filled with sparks of hope flickering to life as she wondered if this could be the opportunity she desperately needed.
She knocked at the gate hesitated after a few minutes the gate man opened the gate.
"What are you doing here miss?? He asked
"Good afternoon sir, sorry to bother you,am here for the job",she replied
"Okay miss but you have to come back tomorrow morning for the interview and as it is the master is not around".
Okay sir thank you so much for your time.
