I heard enough as I switched off the TV and moved to my wardrobe. I had not brought anything to wear for the interview, and I wondered why I was so sluggish today of all days this was something I had always wanted, to get this job, but I was so tired and didn’t want to go.

“God, please slap off this thought from my head,” I prayed to God as I clapped my hands together in the mode of prayer like how little children did.

I suddenly felt some strength as I checked the clock, and it was already 7:20 am.

I brought out a simple butterfly-fitted gown and a six-inch heel. I was so good at wearing it.

I went into the bathroom and took a quick shower. I had to be there before 8:00 am, I didn’t want to go late on the day of the interview, if that ever happened, it would surely be a bad omen like Nicole always told me.

I came out of the shower and quickly put on some body moisturizer to make me look fresh, and sure enough, I also put on some roll-on to make me smell fresh, then I put on my dress.

“Wow… ” I said to myself as I looked at myself in the mirror hanging on the wall in my room. I stared at my magnificent curves, the dress helped a lot, and it was so simple, it stopped above my knees and had a V-line neck shape, which exposed a little part of my chest.

“Miss Christina Ezekiel, you look so magnificent!” I praised myself.

It was already 7:39 am, and I had to get going, so I picked up my handbag and my credentials, and other information I thought would be required.

I didn’t want to miss this opportunity… Not now, not ever, and with this, I had to get going. I locked my apartment and threw the keys into my bag, and I stopped an Uber I saw dropping a lady in the next compound off.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

I hopped into the Uber as I told the driver the location I was going to, and he sped off to Seamus Group of Companies.

I was so nervous and excited at the same time. In less than fifteen minutes, we were already there, and I paid the driver as I carefully tied my hair into a neat ponytail.

I stared at the huge and attractive building, it had lots of stories buildings. No, this was a skyscraper.

Why in heaven’s name would anyone use a skyscraper for a company? With this, I wondered if I would get a job here.

“Would my qualifications get me this job?” I asked as I was losing my mind, but I didn’t want to give up, I had come this far to feel restored, I had to go inside and give it my best.

“I would do anything to get this job today, and nothing is going to stop me from getting this job… nothing at all,” I said these words of encouragement to myself as I gracefully walked into the building, even when I had the feeling that I was a few minutes late, but I didn’t mind and I didn’t care, all I wanted at that moment was for me to go in there and get the job.

NICOLE

I woke up feeling pains all over my body, and I noticed the bed I was lying on was so hard, it was like an orthopedic bed, while the bed I had in my house was a water bed.

I tried to remember if I had plans to change my bed, but I couldn’t conclude that I would ever do that.

I tried to turn, then suddenly, when I inhaled a strong manly cologne, I sprung up from the bed when I saw a young man lying on the bed with me facing the ceiling, peacefully sleeping, and I shouted.

“Aaaagggghhhh!” I screamed as the young man turned and faced his other side

“Oh my goodness, what happened last night and why am I here? I hope nothing stupid happened,” I said to myself as I stared at the young man who was sleeping peacefully

“Oouuccchhh,” I screamed slightly

“Why does my head hurt?” I asked no one in particular.

All I needed to do now was get out of wherever I was at that moment.

I glanced around the apartment to find my handbag, which I saw on the couch, and then I saw a notebook.

A thought struck my mind as I picked up the book and took the pen out of my bag.

I stared at the man on the bed with a blank face, then faced the book as I tore out a sheet of paper and scribbled some words on it.

I then dropped it on the dining table as I headed for the exit.

I knew I was going to come back and ask the young man what happened last night, but now I needed to leave.
