CHAPTER 8--CLASSIC FEMALE VOICE
1119 Words
AMELIA'S POV
I was nervous to pick up the call.
What if it's my step-Mom or even my ex-fiance?
Maybe they have found out that I'm back, That's why they are calling me.
Different thoughts ran through my mind.
My phone continuously rang, and it finally stopped. I thought the person wouldn't call back.
I dropped the phone back on the bedside table and decided to sleep back when I heard it ringing again and it was still the unknown number.
I mustered up the courage to pick up the call, so I could take a break from the continuous ringing.
I breathed in and out before picking.
" Hello dear."
I heard a classic female voice from the other end.
"He….hello."
I said in a shaky voice.
" Am I speaking with Miss Amelia Lopez?"
The lady asked me.
" Yes, you are speaking to Miss Amelia Lopez."
I responded.
" You applied for a job at the WILL'S EMPIRE an.… … … "
" Yes," I exclaimed.
She didn't finish what she was saying when I said that. I stood up from the bed, anxiously waiting for what she wanted to say next.
'Gracious Lord help me' I said to myself nervously.
"Sorry about that."
I apologized, then I sat on the couch close to my bed and composed myself.
" Not a problem. "
" Regardless, I'm calling to inform you that you are one of the few people who were accepted to come for the interview tomorrow. "
" What!!"
I exclaimed, with my eyes wide open, and I covered my mouth with my hands, so I wouldn't shout out loud.
I couldn't believe my ears.
'One of the few people!!'
I knew it.
The company is strict when employing staff, even though they made it open for everyone to apply.
"OK ma'am, I will be there."
I said smiling.
" Yeah, "
" And lest I forget, be here by 8 pm."
"OK Ma'am, noted,"
I replied.
" Good luck."
She said and hung up.
" Wowwww."
I can't believe what just happened, and here I was thinking it was an unknown number, meanwhile it's an office telephone number.
I just checked it now, and I noticed it is not a mobile phone number.
Fear overtook my sense of reasoning and I couldn't differentiate between an office telephone number and a mobile phone number.
Anyway, thank goodness I did not miss this chance because of my stupid mistake.
I said to myself, making a funny dance step, and I laughed at myself.
I need to call Emma, she needs to hear the good news and I haven't sent what she said I should send to her.
I dialed her line and she picked up and a few rings.
" Hey Amelia, I hope there's no problem. "
" Yes, no problem, but guess what? "
I said, smiling, as if she could see me.
"Ummm… .I… I don't know."
She said nonchalantly.
"Try, even though you say rubbish, so I will know, you failed this one," I said to her.
She usually guesses right, she never fails anytime I ask her to guess about something so I want her to say something and fail.
" Look at your head. "
She said playfully.
" I can't believe you want me to fail."
" Well, I don't blame you, and I'm not in the mood, so I will just say anything that comes to my mind "
" But if I'm right, you will treat me to a spontaneous meal. Do you agree?" She shouted over the phone.
" Yes."
" But if you fail, the table turns to me, You know what I mean."
I smiled mischievously, waiting impatiently for her reply.
" So go ahead, I'm all ears."
I smirked like she could see me.
" Hmmm, you were accepted… .. "
When she said that my heart was beating very fast like it wanted to fall out of my chest.
" … … . For the interview, right? "
" What!! "
I shouted out loud and she laughed hysterically.
" Emma, yo… you are something else, I ca… can't believe it. "
"Common Amelia, you should know me by now, even though we have been separated for seven years you should still know what I'm capable of."
" I have known you all my life, and I know when you are excited about something. And How will your reaction and expression be,"
" And I know that the job is the only thing for now that can make you this excited, and you couldn't wait to share with me."
"When you first called, the only thing that crossed my mind was the job. I wanted to ask you if you have applied, but then, I heard your excitement. I knew it was maybe you had been accepted for the interview."
"So chill babe And don't forget my dinner date. Maybe when you are less busy we can go." She explained to me.
"Emma, you should have pretended that you didn't know. I can't believe you made a mockery of me."
" Emma, you should have
minimi." She mimicked me.
I don't have your strength. I'm just waking up from a nap, so I need to prepare myself for tomorrow's interview, so goodbye.
I wanted to cut the call, then I heard her saying something;
"Amelia, I have not seen what I told you to send. "
I heaved.
" I thought it was something serious. You will see it now." I uttered.
" Don't keep me waiting, and say Hi to your lovely Mr Paul."
" Emma, I know what you are trying to do," I said to her.
I knew she had an eye for Mr Paul; she likes flirting with men without reciprocating their feelings, but I kind of liked it because it makes them desire her.
" I don't understand."
She asked, playing innocent.
" You know what I mean, Emma, you are looking for your next fling, right? It seems there's no one available."
" So it's now a crime to ask for someone. Anyway, if you may know he is far much older than me, I will never do that, I know my limit.
"If you say so, I don't trust you."
"That's your concern. Better start preparing for the interview." She said and hung up.
'Was I not supposed to be the one to do that? I mean to hang up the call.'
I asked myself, looking at the phone in my hands. I just shook my head and stood up to go arrange my clothes and some files I might need for the interview.
