He took a deep sigh, “s**t, I should have wakened up early than seven.” he stop walking for a while and just stared at numbers of passengers patiently waiting for a ride, while their eyes are all pointed out at the end of the road where the passenger buses are showing up.
He stood up at the front part where those who wanted to take the lead are waiting for the incoming passenger bus.
(Honks)
Everyone heard the loud honks as the passenger bus approaches because of those crowd that blocks its stopping point. They're all preparing themselves for a tough competition as each of them began cracking their neck, joints, fingers, arms, legs and hips.
(Engine Hissed)
The passenger bus stops in front of those crowd and opens its foldable double door to unload the passengers, and when the last person step out of the door the competition has began.
Everyone aggressively charges towards the doorway while hardly pushing and bumping each other just to take the lead. Because of that Vincent was having difficulty of heading close to the doorway, but he didn't let himself lose the tough competition. Instead, he strongly stretches out his muscles and clears his path by pushing everyone's head, “Mother Fuckersss!!!” he yelled.
“I'm sorry!, I'm sorry!, it wasn't intentional!” he was able to step inside and bump the other passengers blocking his way.
Passengers:
“Wait!”
“Me first!”
“Get out of my way!”
“Don't take my lead!”
“Aw!”
“Let's go bro!”
“Hey! s**t!”
“Stop pushing me!”
“Grrraaaaahh!!!” this big guy fearlessly charges towards the door and those he bumped are thrown away to the ground like a group of v form pins crushed by a bowling ball.
And other angry words.
(Engine hissed)
The double door closes when the driver presses a button beside the steering wheel, he did it because there's no more space available inside.
“Whew!, what a fun morning.” Vincent manage to sit at the middle part and beside the window on his left.
The bus began to move away from that place, leaving those passengers who failed to enter the door and kneeling on the road as they begged it to return.
Loser passengers:
“Noooo!!!”
“Come back!!!”
“Don't leave me!!!”
“I'm f*****g late!!!”
“I need a ride!!!”
“Why?!!!”
“Please don't go!!!”
“Take me!!!”
“Who took my wallet?!!!”
And other begging words.
The travel time almost took him two hours before reaching his dropping point, it's because of the heavy traffic that usually happens when he's going to the city at beyond seven in the morning.
After several minutes of searching for the company's building, he finally found it. He entered the building that has thirty floors after allowing the guard to check his bag. He headed to the admin station and gave an ID in exchange for a vistor's ID after logging in. Then he ride into a closing elevator and almost got stuck by the doors. He stepped out when he reached the eight floor and began searching each hallway to find the company's door.
(Buzz)
His finger presses a button attached on the right wall, causing a short buzzing sound that captures the eyes of the two gorgeous staffs seating behind the desk.
The double glass door was unlocked as the lady on the right (Vincent's view) presses a button attached under her desk.
He politely entered.
“Hi good morning, how may I help you?” asked by the lady on the left (Vincent's view) with a smile.
“Good morning. Uh, I'm applying for a programming position.” he answered.
The lady suddenly stops tapping her fingers on the keyboard, “Please fill up all the information needed in here and submit it back to me when you're done.” she gave him three stapled papers attached on a hard plane that is rectangular in shape, it also has a pen that is connected to the top right corner of it through an elastic string.
He took it and seated on a vacant chair that is leaning against the wall, where there are rows of other chairs attached to each other through a metal pipe beneath those seats.
Inside the lobby, he wasn't the only applying for the same position. There are lots of them and some are just waiting for their name to be called for an interview.
When he's done filling up all the papers, he returned to the lady and gave it back to her, “I'm done.”
“Alright, please go back to your seat and wait for your name to be called.” she said.
Vincent replied by nodding a little.
Time passed by and an employer came out at the end of the aisle, he was holding a stapled papers and began calling out a name, “I'm looking for Mr. Vincent Miller.”
Vincent heard it and quickly stood up and walked towards the employer.
“Please follow me.” the employer said and turn around heading back to his place.
The first interview wasn't hard for Vincent to answer, well because it's just about his personal backgrounds, skills and a bit reasons for applying to their company.
When it's done, he was guided to the next room where he will take the written and technical examination to prove how good he is in programming for a given amount of time.
He finished the exams within three hours but something is troubling his head. He came out of the room wearing a bit confident face. For him, he wasn't sure of the scores that he will get when all of it are calculated. He came nack to the lobby and waited for the last call.
He took a sigh as he seated on the same spot and leaned his head on the wall with a crisscross arms over his shoulder bag.
Several minutes later, his name was called by a new employer and headed to the employer's room.
