I woke up to the blaring of my alarm using my hand to bang it trying to snooze the alarm. I checked the time, 7:00am???? Why would I want to set an alarm for a time this early?
Oh my God I had an interview. How can I forget that, I thought, hitting my head at the fact that I might be developing memory loss at a very young age. I went into the bathroom to go do my business and take a shower. I had taken a lot of time since my interview started at 9:00am. So why not enjoy my free time being jobless?
I was so confident about this job if you don’t know yet. After taking my bath, I tried to check out for nice clothes that I could wear. I took a tight black skirt and a white shirt with a ribbon design at the top. After getting dressed, I went to the mirror and did minimal makeup, not trying to make myself look like a hopeless Bimbo for my interview. I was done by 8. Just an hour left. I went to my roommate's room to tell her I had gone for the interview, but as always, she was still asleep.
I left a note for her telling her I had gone for the interview and she should wish me luck.I got into my car and started driving to the BLACK INDUSTRIES. I got there by 8:45. I suddenly became nervous. I hope I get this job, because if I don’t, I will have to go work in a cafe. And with my type of credentials???? No way.
I went inside and met with a lady whom I suppose is the secretary. “Good morning, please, I am here for the interview “, I told her. She eyed me from head to toe “I guess ugly girls are also coming for this interview.” She mumbled.
“Excuse me???? You said something????? I asked, confused, “ no I didn’t, what’s your name please”
“Annabelle smith” I told her while she tried to hold in her laugh. Ohhh now there’s something wrong. “Ummm is there something wrong and I feel you are wasting my time. Can you just direct me to where I am going to????”
I was already getting annoyed. “Go straight to your left. You will see some other people sit with them a lady will come call you when it’s time for your interview”, she said, giving me an eye.
I got to the place she directed me to and sat down beside a lady. She looked to be there for an interview. “Hi I’m Annabelle”. I tried introducing myself but she just looked at me and hissed OK, I think there’s something wrong here. Some other ladies got here after me and after some minutes the interview started.
The girl beside me was the next person for the interview. She seemed confident. I’m sure I’m not going to get this job so much for my confidence this morning. After some minutes, she came back outside crying. Ohhh……Kay.
“Annabelle smith” I signaled by standing up “please come in” she said, giving me a warm smile. I guess nice people still exist. I followed her when we got to the boss's door . She faced me, “with the few minutes I’ve spent with you I can see you are different from the rest. So do your best to impress the boss”. She said, rubbing my arm lovingly.
I went into the door and the seat was facing the window and the back was facing me couldn’t really see the face of the person sitting there. “Good morning”. I greeted him hoping he would notice my presence.
“I’ll call you back. I have something important to do” he said and faced me,, woah, he is so handsome and hot. He looks like a Greek god. I wonder how the girls in this company cope with this kind of beauty.
“You can sit” he said, distracting me from my thoughts. I sat down praying silently. “Your credentials please”. I gave it to him and he stared at it, nodding approvingly. “Why do you think I should give you this job?”
He asked me suddenly. My mouth went dry." Sir, you giving me this job is your choice, but if you appoint me as your personal assistant I’m sure you won’t regret it. I promise to be at work on time. And it’s obvious you need a competent and smart person to work for you, search no more because here she is.” I said to him with confidence I don’t even know I have.
He stared at me for a while and smiled “fine you got the job. Not because you are smart or competent like you said” he pointed out, smirking. I feel like wiping that smirk off his face, but he is my boss. “But because you are different,” he said, smirking.
I blushed, he was not supposed to be this sweet mouthed. “You are starting tomorrow at 9:am. I’ll tell Anastasia to tell you what to go and give you a schedule. Abide by your own promise. Don’t be late.” He said the last one sternly.
I went outside and grinned widely. The other lady came to meet me. “Did you get the job??” She asked expectantly.
“Yes I did”, I told her happily. “he said, I am to meet with Anastasia.” She smiled "I am Anastasia, nice to meet you, malady." She said with a little curtsy and we both laughed. I like her already. She started telling me something. We got interrupted by a ringing tone. I thought that her business phone "yes sir, yes I have dismissed them, OK sir". She faced me smiling "I guess you start today. You are to get the boss his coffee."
