When do I start? " Scarlet asked "You are supposed to report today." "Okay thank you very much " Scarlet responded hanging up the phone She was so excited. Her prayer was heard. She hurriedly got out of bed and rushed to the bathroom to freshen up. She did her usual morning routine. Taking a good shower, washing her hair, and brushed her teeth. She walked back to the bedroom, chose one of her favorite clothes, and wore them. She didn't have a lot of clothes." A black skirt and a blue blouse would do," she thought It was already 7:30 am. she walked out of the bedroom and closed the door behind her She went to the kitchen and found her mother taking her breakfast. She must have woken up so early. She is always a morning person, unlike her, she always struggles to get out of bed each morning. "Good morning mother, " Scarlet asked "Good morning. You are up so early today and what's with the mood." Her mother responded "You won't believe this, I just got a call from the Secretary of millennium agencies. I got the job mother." scarlet said "Wait, are you serious." "of course mum. And I have to report today." "That's the best news, am happy for you God has finally answered our prayers," she said She couldn't hide the smile on her face ."I can now take care of you mother you have worked so hard all these years." She was so excited at least she could now take care of her mother well and can now afford her drugs. She took the breakfast very fast and kissed her mother goodbye. "I'll see you later mother. And don't forget to take your drugs." Scarlet said "I won't, take care Of yourself." her mother said kissing her goodbye After my breakfast, she left. she went by the roadside and hailed a cab to take her to work. she couldn't get my mother's smile off my head. She was so excited when she broke the news. Within no time she arrived at the building. Scarlet got out of the car, adjusted her clothes, and walked towards the reception. The receptionist was the same woman from yesterday. She didn't want to remember what had happened "Good morning. I am here to see the CEO" Scarlet said "He's expecting you," she said giving me directions to his office. She talked to me nicely unlike last time. As she walked away she heard the receptionist call her. "I am sorry about last time. I shouldn't have judged you," she said "it's fine don't worry," she responded Scarlet walked towards the CEO's office and knocked severally but he didn't respond. So she opened the door and walked inside. Without looking up he started talking "How many times do I have to tell you to be focused on your work, what time is it? The meeting ended 30minutes ago, you should have brought the minutes a long time ago" He roared without looking up."Do you want to be fired get out of my office now? I am busy right." she got scared and confused. She didn't utter a word, she stood there in silence. When he didn't hear the door closing he looked up. "I didn't know it's you?"He said. " I am Lucas and welcome to the company "Hello sir, my name is Scarlet," she said respectfully "You couldn't qualify for the job but you will be my assistant." "Thank you, sir."
