“Good morning baby…”
She said and helped him up
“Megan you really didn't have too”
She said as she looked at her best friend who paid her no mind
“That's enough Abby, you look too good to be grumpy this morning, plus with your shape you're practically advertising my brand for free, now hurry or you'll be late”
She checked her watch and put a cookie in her mouth.
“Don't forget to take Raphael to the principal today”
She reminded Megan who hummed in response.
“Wait mummy”
Raphael said as he flew up from his sit.
Reaching his mother's feet, he asked her to bend while he gave her a spoon of yogurt.
He had noticed Indians so these when they want to go for important events and when he asked he was told that it was a sign of good luck.
“I and aunt Megan packed your lunch too”
Abigail's heart busted with happiness as tears welled up in her eyes. Her little thoughtful boy..
“Make sure you have a good day sweetie”
She said as she pecked him and practically dashed out of the building.
“Okay Raphael, how would you like to spend the day with your aunt Megan”
Megan said as she immediately put on sun shades.
It was going to be one long day…..
Abigail took a cab as she went for the first interview, it was a tech company.
She got a diploma in business administration and she was going for the role of a secretary.
Walking into the office, she held her head high in a confident manner.
She felt the eyes of people linger and beads of sweat formed on her face. She was used to the staring, but today was her job interview, so it made her extra nervous.
She was being interviewed by the director of the company himself so she had to be of her very best and formal behavior.
“Candidate 4….Miss Abigail”
His assistant, she assumed, called out as she immediately sprang up from her sit.
She felt her eyes linger as the smoke was wiped of her face.
“The boss would see you now”
She nervously entered and met with a blonde man typing on his laptop. But the moment he looked up, his light brown eyes immediately scanned her body as a sly smile appeared on his face.
She already had a bad feeling about this.
“Miss Abigail…”
He read out of the paper
“Interesting…I didn't know you were this pretty or you wouldn't have had to wait for so long to see me”
He said as he gestured to a sit.
“Good morning Sir..”
She was cut off
“Please, call me Ethan..”
He said as he reached to touch her hands
She immediately flinched as she gave a shy smile.
“I feel I'm a good candidate and I brought all my results and my C.V”
She said trying to ignore the obvious advances of the director.
“These doesn't matter…. Abigail, the job is already yours..”
He said and chuckled while she looked at him with confusion etched to her face.
“Of course all for a little price”
He said as he extended his hand once more, she immediately stood up feeling insulted and sexualized. She didn't expect her first interview to be a success, but she didn't expect it to be an insult either.
“I think that would be all Mr Ethan”
She said as she immediately got up from her chair, as she was about to leave the door, she was held back by him.
“Do you really think a slut like you would get any job especially one of this caliber in the New York….I'm the best option you have”
He said as he blatantly mocked her….
“Any job would be better than working for a pig, and I'm sure I can get a better job than this dump you run”
Rolling her eyes, she walked out of the office.
She got into a cab as she immediately slapped her head as she groaned.
She was too confident back there, what if she actually doesn't get a job.
‘no….you have to stay strong’
She mumbled to herself, besides she had a dozen of interviews today, she shouldn't let her hopes down because of the outcome of one.
…..
“Miss Abigail…?”
The principal looked at his paper and looked up at the blonde and dark eyed Megan who had a cheeky smile, and shifted his gaze to the green sharp gaze next to her”
“...No it's Miss Megan”
She laughed as she patted the bored Raphael's head
“I see…and where is Miss Abigail?”
He asked as he closed the paper.
“She had an appointment and she couldn't make it….but not to worry, he's my nephew and I'm here for him”
She said as she rested her back on the sit.
“Hello Mr Raphael, are you ready for the examination”
He said as he redirected his attention to the little boy who's looks held no expression.
Raphael nodded as the principal gave him a soft smile.
“We made sure it was prepared without mistake, so don't feel a bit uncomfortable”
He said as he held his hand to lead him to a classroom.
“Your guardian would be waiting for you in the hall, and when you're through your free to go with her”
He tried to assure the boy, but Raphael just nodded and walked into the room.
“Good luck my munchkin”
She yelled from across the hall as she gave him a big smile.
“He probably doesn't need luck, his IQ is probably larger than mine”
She joked as she turned to the principal and the old man nodded in agreement
“His credentials are indeed impressive especially for a boy as young as him”
The principal added and he turned to Megan.
“Would you like some coffee?”
“Only if you have cookies to go with it”
