Beep! Beep!
" please could you drive faster I don't want to be late driver " said a young lady who seemed to be a little over twenty years old and still looked dashing with her beautiful chocolate skin.
"Madam I am driving as fast as I can go see" replied the driver as he motioned towards the dashboard to show the young lady the speedometer.
"uncle sorry it's just that it is really important to get to my destination on time or it might mean I would be late on the first day " spoke the lady in an apologetic tone as she truly felt sorry .
****
" Finally got here please take care bye, first day jitters are okay but being late is a no no___"
Bump!
" woah! now all my papers are on the floor _"
"I'm really sorry ma'am please let me help you pick them up" said a young handsome looking man as he picked up the papers up alongside Funke.
"No need to apologize I am also at fault for not looking at where I was going so I am also at fault so please accept my apology"
"No need to apologise so, are you also here for the job" asked the young man.
"Yes, I am the name is Funke yours" said funke as she reached out to offer him an handshake
"Samuel,sam for short Miss Funke " said the young man as he reached out to receive the handshake.
" let's head in before we get seriously late" said funke
"yeah that's true"
The two individuals ascended the flight of stairs that lead into the Tokunbo corporation as they stepped in through the doors the arrived at a receptionist desk .
" Yes ,hello how may I help you " said a beautiful lady who was the receptionist as she smiled warmly.
" we're here for the post of manager" said Samuel as he answered for both of them .
"one minute please" said the receptionist as she checked her computer
"just down the hall, then take a left ,then a right then up the stairs and you will get there"replied the receptionist with her usual warm smile as she gave them the direction to the place the interview would be carried out
" she said left ,right, ahah then up the stairs"
" woah! this is surprisingly small " said funke as she looked at the number of people who were here for the same job as her.
* Here let's sit together" said Samuel as he offered Funke a sit .
' This is going to be fast I hope ' thought Funke as she stared at the number of participants. ' just ten of us including me and Samuel '
"Next" came a voice from the opened door that a participant came out of looking sad and depressed.
" it seems like he didn't get the job" said Samuel as he pointed out the fact that was on everybody's mind .
" I guess I am next " said a young looking man who stood up to enter the office only to be out in no sooner than five minutes.
" Next"
"Next"
"Next"
" Next"
The once slightly packed room was now reduced to just two people;Funke and Samuel.
" Next "
*well, I guess it's my tun now said Samuel as he stood up to enter the office"
"Good luck sam" said Funke as she wished him luck .
"Thanks Funke"
A few moments later.....
" Next candidate please come in "
' well I guess that's me" said funke as she stepped into the room while steadying her breathing.
' keep calm funke you can do this you are more than enough'
stepping into an office that seemed to be made for a big boss.
Knock! knock!
" Come in " came a manly voice from the other side of the door.
Swing
stepping into the office Funke is greeted by the sight of handsome , middle aged man with skin though dark in complexion seemed to be as clear as any other summer day , with eyes as bright as the sun and hair cut perfectly to suit his entire outfit.
"please Ms. funke sit "said the young man as he pointed out to a seat in front of the other side of the table .
" looking at all your credentials it is safe to say you deserve the position of Executive Manager but I would like to ask you why you think you deserve the post , because everyone else that came here has annoyed me with their vexing replies so tell me why you think you deserve it" . said the young man as he folded his arm as he leaned into his chair while asking.
"well sir firstly I would like to thank you for the opportunity and as per your question I don't think I deserve it I feel that it is a position that no one deserves but for those that have shown their worth and show that they want this job and that they can fulfil all the responsibilities that come with it"said funke answering the man's question
" Excellent answer truly no one deserves anything except they work for it, I would also like to ask you if you believe you deserve the job Miss Funke " asked the man while still leaning in his chair.
Taking a moment to gather her thoughts so she could respond properly Funke said; " I know I do " said Funke " You said so yourself as you can see in my resume." said Funke as she said those words with conviction .
Taking his time to reply to her answer the man moved his chair forward as the tension in the room increased, until he finally broke the silence ; "Congratulations Miss Funke you are hired." said the man
About a thousand explosions were going off in funke's mind as she was in shock over the man's reply.
" Ms. Funke , Ms. funke helloooo"
” oh sorry sir it just came as a shock to me that I got the job , thank you very much sir" said funke as she stood up to leave the man's office .
” thank you sir "

' I need to call my mom and inform her of the good news ' ' thought Funke to herself as she made her way out of the building complex.
" Hello, mummy guess what,I got the job." said Funke as she was talking with her mother over the phone.
" I told you ,you would get the job you just have to have faith my dear ." said the voice from Funke's phone which was her mother's.
”Yes ,yes, yes,yes ,let me call Sola to inform her of the good news" as she finally stepped out of the corporation.
”Hello , Sola I got the job."
