GEMINI (The Twin Romance)

"Boring black or banal beige?" Ivyanna Foster asked her reflection in the mirror, tilting her head as if trying to make a decision. "ugh, too boring!" she groaned dropping the beige suit. "Ivy! your interview is in two hours" her mother, in her late thirties, Madeline Foster shouted from the kitchen. " Mom?" Evans, Ivy's twin brother called. "What." " You just forgot to remind her not to muddle it, cos if she does it's going to be her twenty-second interview since graduated in just a year. She got that kind of reputation you know?" he said with a smug look on his face. "Evanston Alexander Foster!!,I know brat,I guess I don't have to be reminded since I have you doing the counting." "You aren't needed in your pastry shop,huh?" Ivy asked coming out of the room already dressed up, as she smirked at her brother. "You!, I told you not to call me that, I'm a baker you dumbo" the already riled up Evans couldn't come up with a better counterattack as he stumbled over his words with a red face. Seeing this, Ivy laughed in mockery until she was stopped by her mother's frustrated voice. "Ivyanna Elizabeth Foster, what do you think you're doing instead of getting your ass on that chair and be fast with your breakfast unless you wish to take the bus to the company " her mother threatened with a poker face and now it is Evans turn to laugh. Madeline has been taking care of the twins since their father and her husband, Matthew Foster,died in a plane crash. "Yes mom!" Ivy saluted playfully which brought the trio to laughter. "Now let's eat or I'd be late." After some minutes,Ivy drove to the location of the company. "Wow!"she exclaimed as she stared at the ' J Corporation ' written in gold. 'i thought Blaire said it's a really big company,hell this is heaven ' she thought as she strode into the building taking in all the features before her as if afraid to miss anything important. Just then she glanced at her wristwatch. "What! I'm five minutes late." she screamed running through the hallway in her heels ignoring the gazes piercing through her skin. 'Bam' Ivy collided with a stranger,also dressed formally in a business suit. 'Omg,he's so handsome,look at those plump lips,they make him look...but why is his face like that?' " Are you okay" the stranger asked worriedly while she stared in a daze, in that moment, she woke up from the trance remembering her interview, she stood up from the floor with a jolt and darted off just in time to hear her name from a staff who had called her thrice before now. "Miss Ivyanna Foster? the staff called again. "Yes! I'm present,I'm sorry for the inconveniences, I..." " Just go in" the staff snapped cutting through her speech in annoyance. ' What a snob, just she's already a staff? let me get out of here I'll deal with her properly' Ivy thought in a daze not aware of the fact that the interviewers were staring at her. "Kuhm kuhm, you are?" the first interviewer coughed out a question which brought her out of her thoughts. " Ivyanna Elizabeth Foster" "Miss Foster,what makes you think that you're worthy of working in this company?" 'Worthy? I'm not worthy at all,I wish I could just steal some of the fortunes lying around and dart off' she thought deviously . "Since it's a secretarial position,I feel that my education, work experience, and personal qualities make me a strong candidate for this position. I have the relevant skills and knowledge that are required for this role, and I am confident that I can learn and adapt quickly to the company's specific needs. I am also a highly motivated individual who is always striving to improve and develop my skills. In addition, I am a team player who can work well with others and contribute to a positive work environment. Finally, I have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, which are essential for any secretarial position."she answered confidently with a smile,that deepened when she saw most of the interviewers nod their head in approval,but her joy was short-lived when she heard a familiar voice. " Now that's enough, you can go" an authoritative voice said slicing through her skin like a knife. Ivy traced the voice to it's owner, shocked to the bone she batted her eyelashes several times hoping the image before her was an illusion but no it wasn't. There in an inconspicuous corner sat the handsome plump lips she met earlier,she then proceeded out of the room dejected. 'What the heck was that guy doing there,omg I'm sure doomed,I don't want to lose this job also. No,I'm sure he didn't recognize me or did he? I bumped into him without apologizing,so he's angry? God! he didn't even allow me to finish, what a putz.' she hit her head on the wall times over as if to teach herself a lesson while random thought swirled in her head. " Is she sick or what?" a voice asked in curiosity while staring at her . "Maybe she didn't pass the interview,who knows." another voiced answered in disdain,it belonged to the staff that called her name earlier before. " Ok, let's do this!"Ivy sighed ignoring their small talks,while she rearranged her already scattered hair before walking out of the company into the comfort of the car.
