I am in my room getting ready to get up. The sun shining in my face is my sign to get ready for work. I've hit my alarm three times already, and I regretfully have to get up. I finally moved to the edge of the bed, stood up and went into the bathroom so I could take a nice hot shower. While I am in the shower, I keep thinking about my day and how it is going to suck. I just have a feeling in my gut. Something is going to happen today, I can feel it in my bones.
I am ready to get dressed and wonder what I am going to wear as I look in my closet. I want to look nice so I choose to wear a black pencil skirt and a white silk shirt with a red bow. Today, I have an interview with the boss, and I am anxious to see if I am going to get the promotion for assistant to the CEO on the top floor of our building. I am anxious because I will finally meet the owner of the casino, Mr. Carmada. It is his decision after all if I get the promotion. I know Mikal's put in a good word for me so all I need to do is get the job.
It is time for me to go down to the kitchen and grab my egg sandwich and coffee, I like quick breakfasts so I don't waste time and head outside to my car. It is a 15 minute drive to the casino where I work, so I try to avoid all construction work being done on the road. I don't want to be late, not sure how well that would go for me. I've been there for 5 years on the fifteenth floor, and I am assistant to the assistant manager of the casino, Mikal. I have done so well, and he recommended me for the position of assistant to the owner, Mr. Carmada.To my surprise I got the interview.
I made it just in time to get to my desk.The traffic was terrible this morning. I check myself in my pocket mirror and make sure I am still presentable. My boss comes out of his office with a frown on his face. His name is Mikal, and he is tall, dark, and dangerous looking. No one messes with him. He always looks at me like I would bolt if he came too close to me. I feel like he is sizing me up and might change his mind about sending me up for my interview. Now I'm wondering if I wore the wrong outfit. Mikal walks over to me and tells me to calm down and that I look beautiful today. I blush and tell him thank you. We chat for a few minutes about what to expect in the interview. I visibly relax and get myself mentally prepared. Mikal leaves and then I sit down to wait for the call.
I am very nervous, to say the least. In the silence, my phone starts ringing, and when I answer it, I hear, " Hello, hello. Jazmin, are you listening to me?" I snap out of it and realize someone is yelling at me on the phone. I look down at the caller ID and see that it says the penthouse office. Oh, sh*t it's the owner, and he sounds like he is pi**ed off. I tried to stammer my way through an answer, but he hung up. Why did he hang up, I just picked up the phone. And why was he asking if I heard him? He only said my name. I think I just made a big mistake, now I need to see if I can fix it and get the job.
I blink to gather my thoughts, and when I look up Mikal is walking to my desk. He asks me what the hell happened on the phone? I say, " I don't know, I picked up the phone and said hello. Next thing I know he is yelling into the phone." I think I just got hung up on by the boss. Mikal looks at me, smirks, and says, "I hope you can save your own ass. He is not happy." He walks away chuckling darkly and shaking his head. I hope I can save my ass too.
