"I am really going to be late for my interview. where on earth did I keep my shoes, Mira, did you help see them by chance"
"Sam, please don't stress me we both have interviews today so don't stress me and look for your shoes wherever you kept them" Miranda Williams said
"just calm down you are surely going to get this one don't worry yourself out Bes, we are going to nail this don't worry" Samantha Carpenter said. Sam and Miranda have been friends since childhood and mostly all of their lives. Sam is a 24 years old lady with a first class in business studies and all her life she has learnt fending for herself. She has never had anything handed to her without her working out for it. Miranda on the other side was a spoilt brat who had everything handed over to her but she never actually liked both her parent cause none of them believed in her and her dreams. Mira was 23 years old lady who had first class in law but didn't quite turn out to be one she hated the fact her parent wants her to work in their law firm since she met Sam she has always wanted to know what it felt like to be in her shoes so she moved in with her and they share house rent between themselves. Mira decided to study photography and she was very good with it she had little occasions in which she was able to do well and get changes to pay for her bills. That has always been her dream to be a photographer and parents thought it was a disgraceful work for their daughter to do.
"we really need this to work Mira, if not how are we going to pay the rent because the landlord won't buy our story this time around" Sam said retouching her makeup
"true though" (laughs) "the man is so dumb Jesus! It's concerning if he should continue this landlord business so I don't think people are really going to be nice to him like we do" she said and Sam replying with one eyebrow raised up "seriously though am sure all will go well bes"
"I really hope so" Sam said looking at her credentials and looked up at the clock and shouted "oh God! I have to go now"
"calm down bes there is still more time I mean"
"I have to beat traffic girl" she said jumping up to wear her trouser and grabbed her jacket from the bed and sat down to wear her heels
"yeah I forgot, oh God am really going to be late I have to go now okay" Mira said hurryingly carrying her bag and paused then looked back and said "what the fuck did you do to your hair? No, no, no, we are redoing this" dropping her bag and carried the hair curler to curl Sam's hair
"common, I just wanted to try something new like when you cut your hair then right and people liked it remember?"
"but this doesn't look nice bes am fucking serious"
"fine, you go ahead then I would curl it up" Sam said pushing her to the door and went back to carry her bag and gave her and said "good luck girl, you going to kill it as usual okay" she said kissing her hair
"fine, you too b and get rid of that hideous thing on your head please" she said shouting it from the living room. Sam went back and looked at the mirror "what the fuck is wrong with this frickin beauty? I look like fricking Teraji P Henson what the fuck is she talking about?" she said putting on lipstick and looked at herself in the mirror and smiled "you are going to kill this" she said to herself and packed her files then checked the time and left.
Sam got to the company early then she decided she wanted to go to the toilet to get herself prepared because she saw a lot of people and she was beginning to lose confidence in herself so she went in and washed her hands and came out not almost immediately but she didn't want to miss the interview without trying at least. So she joined the line and submitted her file to the secretary and smiled then she went to sit down and waited then minutes later the manager came to announce they had found someone for the position and they should probably come back next year.
"are you guys kidding me??" Sam said almost at the top of her voice then the secretary looked at her and she smiled "may I have my files back?" she said still maintaining the smile then the sectary handed her the files and said "are you sure you don't want to leave it here because you are the next on line and all I have to do is just call you and you would be the first to enter"
"well, all these apply to next year right? Like you are talking about next year"
"yes but it's almost end of the year"
"it's fucking April" she said almost shouting this time so she cleared her throat and said "no thank you" continued smiling then she handed her files over to her and Sam took off to the elevator and immediately it opened she hopped inside and when she looked up from her bag she saw this tall handsome guy, he is body in the suit was like the suit couldn't handle the body of the guy then she looked at his hair they were all curly and dripping wet like literally dripping wet he had this Spanish looking face and those abs it was breath taking. Sam wasn't really in the mood for crushing but the guy has a sexy ass body and would make any girl drool over him then she wondered if she already wasn't and she looked away because she was really in the mood to crush then she took out a wiper and stated to wipe her makeup off and continued to lament.
"this guys don't just know how to run a business, they just wasted all my time and money for transport and that sectary oh she was the worse of them all, I don't know who owns these place he or she sounds fool already!"
"are you that pained?" the guy in the elevator asked
"excuse me?" she said facing him
"I mean if you think they don't deserve the company why don't you try building up yours?"
"I don't remember talking to you, you would help both of us by shutting up really and you came here wearing that suit, it looks expensive though am sure you rented it isn't that right?" she asked looking at him this time around
"you are rude ma'am very rude!" the guy concluded
"well am glad you think so! Cos I wasn't talking to you so it's either rude for you to interfere in what you weren't called for"
"now I see why you didn't get the job you have a very loose sense and that would be bad for business you see" he said
"well you did be surprised with what I could with the loose senses and I bet with all your senses combined you would still be learning" she said and the elevator door dinged open and she looked at him and smiled then dropped the wipe in front of him and went out and he seconded her and he was very pissed.
Samantha looked at the coffee shop and saw Mira at the coffee shop then she remembered she doesn't even drink coffee then she walked up to her and asked "are you stalking another guy eh?" then Miranda turned back and laughed.
"no silly, at least not today, do you remember that guy I always dreamed of working for, the one with the best modelling agency in New York, Mathew Coleman?"
"who? Am sorry I can remember him, wait, is that one you crushed on for almost all your life?" she asked laughing
"yeah surprisingly you never seem to forget all my crushes I told you about, I heard he was coming here today so I decided to come check him out. And that guy is smoking hot you can blame me girl" she said searching the whole room with eyes and Sam hit her with her jacket "you almost got married to his poster in college" she said laughing hard this time
"fine, but first I have good news" she said rolling her eyes
"okay b hit me am waiting"
"I GOT THE JOB!!!!" she shouted then they both screamed and hugged each other and continued to hug and danced in circles while at it
"I knew you would get, I just knew you could do it am proud of you bess" Sam said her eyes teary "come hear you punk!" she said throwing her arms in the air and Mira hugged her and they both stayed there for a while and Mira asked her "so how much are you collecting from your salary so we know who is taking both of us for shopping" she said laughing
"well, (scoffs) I think we are talking about like 0 bucks"
"I don't understand"
"I didn't get the job, am so sorry am going to do better" she said looking down
"what? Hell no! they are the one who should be crying they lost someone as good as you and you know what? My new boss might need new employee and I will sign you up so you should come so we should work together, OMG that would so fun I get to disturb you every day of my life even at work so what do you think babes?"
"yes I would love that" she said laughing
"I know you would after all we are meant to be together" she said hugging her "and oh!" she said jumping and dragged her by the arm "well the surprise hasn't ended" she said smiling to her "common" she took her outside and she showed her a care and asked her what she thought about the car and she told her the car was hers along with an apartment
"wait, hold up! A car and an apartment?? What work are you doing that requires that? I hope you are not joking with me cos this is a very expensive kind of joke Mira" she said checking out the car
"am not babes, get in let me take you to our new apartment or would you like to drive?" she ask throwing the keys to her
"ahh this is real I want to scream right now WHAT!!!!!? Babes let fricking go" she said and they both threw their bags in the back seat and drove off.
"Okay this a nice area but where is your house?" Sam asked impatiently
"just pull over right there and do you know I even get to travel outside the country like everywhere my boss and models go too, isn't that cool?" Mira asked closing the car door
"you are joking??? What this is like all your dreams coming through all at once am so proud of you babes" she said looking at her and said "am sure your parent would think same" she added
"well I guess, come let's check it out" she said ignoring the topic
"yo! You are like a rich dude now, I wanna grow up and be like you one day you see" she said acting along with her. Ever since Mira left her parent's house she never contacted them and likewise so she gave up on the fact that she is an orphan and she doesn't like the fact that people define her by her parents that's why she like Samantha of all people.
They both entered the apartment it was really nice there was studio for Mira to do all her work in and the fridge was stuck full already and so was the kitchen it was like all the needed was their clothes so they went ahead to check everything out and Mira mentioned to her she should come and stay with her because she knows Sam wouldn't want to stay with her so she mentioned it to her
"so you would stay right?" Mira asked her staring at her for a very long time
"of course, sure I would love to stay with you so you could disturb my life, what more could I ever ask for?" she said laughing
"cool! So tell me something how is Ted? You haven't mentioned him in a while what's up with you two?"
Ted was Samantha's Ex. When they broke up Sam was a mess she couldn't let the guy off her mind cos she was in love with the guy. She spent months stalking and trying hard to get over Ted. Samantha has always been the type of woman who loves too hard and she has a soft hearted mind and naïve Ted was just a player whom Mira warned her about but she didn't listen so she caught him with another girl who happens to be his real girlfriend in his house making out ever since then she has never thought about being in another relationship with anyone.
"I actually heard his girlfriend broke up with him and he started dating another girl um what's her name again..... well I can't remember"
"are you stalking him again?" she asked taking a sit by the kitchen and also took one for her too
"what? No, I heard from one of his friends on Instagram he just told me everything well I might have asked but I didn't mean he should like give me the whole info but he did and I didn't say no of course"
"sure babes, guys are just annoying I guess we are all in it for the fun in it" she said opening the fridge and she asked Sam "which one would you prefer?"
"beer please, but I know there is someone out there who would like us for who we are right?" she said collecting the beer and corked it open and took a long gulp "oh it's really chilled" she sighed
"I guess but I'd like to believe until then am alone and the truth we don't even know who is meant for us or not just have fun whenever you have the chance to babes and I will be here too fuck and guy that fucks with you and thinks he could get away with it, I gat you for life babes" Miranda said and raised their beer can to cheers and they had a lot to talk about and they also had a lot to drink.
"yes! I met this smoking hot guy in the elevator today but he appears to be a very rude hot guy so I didn't like him anymore he was annoying all of a sudden but he looked like food I could eat him all day Mira oh God you needed to see this guy his physique was amaze balls"
"oh my God Sam, you wanted to eat a guy you met in an elevator God I knew I always prefer you drunk, tell me more babes"
"am not drunk am just being truthful like I have always been and…."
"yeah sure that, tell me more about the guy" she said cutting her short and very interested in what she had to say
"well nothing happened I guess I lashed out on because I didn't get the job and he went on yabbing and I didn't like his tone towards me but I definitely loved everything else I saw." she looked at Mira and laughed
"you think this is a joke, you might want to eat me who knows?" she laughed harder and said "I love you sis you are the best you just know how to make things easy whenever they seem hard and annoying"
"how on earth did I do that now well you are welcome babes, so what about your work do you like have an office of your own?" she asked packing the empty cans of beers
"well who knows? Well will find out tomorrow when I get to the office and submit your file" she said help her with the clearing "should I order pizza? Your fav?"
"yasssssss please it's been very long since I ate those, I hope you aren't hungover? You have a job now so things are going to be different now so get used to it you cutie"
"I will try my best that's why I have you by my side and I know you would have my back at any time bes so we are going to be fine".
They both had a long chat about work and went to sleep but deep down Miranda was scared to go to work the next day she hasn't ever been given this opportunity to work in a big company and even have her own car or apartment she was scared she was going to lose all of that that's why she brought Sam with her. She feels whenever she feels like giving up Sam would be right there to put her back I shape and she was right.
It was morning of April and it was a Wednesday morning too and Samantha was already awake to wake up to wake up Mira but she was surprised to see her awake and not only that she was already ready to go and all dressed up to go to work and Sam stood by the door and smiled and at that moment she realized she was happy with this one and there and then decided nothing ever in this world would try and separate them then she knocked on the door just to gain her attention
"hey good morning, I hope you slept well?" Mira asked packing her camera into the bag
"yeah I did I see you don't need me to wake up anymore I see now" she said laughing
"um, let's see is it the fact am a 23 years old woman or the fact I can take care of myself, so don't bother about me okay and will always be bess" she said looking for her car keys
"yeah sure ma'am and the keys are on top of your phone if that's what you are looking for" she added "and are you sure I don't need to come over to submit my files myself I think it should be polite that way not you submitting it for me what do you feel?" she said matter of factly
"yeah I guess I heard Mathew was a very grumpy man so I wouldn't want you to start off with a bad foot so would you come with me? I would love to drop you off"
"well it's your first day we don't want you going late you have all your life to drive and drop me off at anywhere"
"you are the best! And please get off this stupid straight hair of yours out of your head it took me a lot of energy to resist the urge of shaving your hair off yesterday I can't promise I can let it go today"
"is that you threatening me uh?" she asked laughing wickedly
"no, not at all this is me begging you not to let me see this hair on your head if not I will shave it off! Am serious!!" she said leaving the house.
Samantha went to their other house to pack their clothes and she had this idea she didn't want to go for the interview she just had a bad feeling about everything but then again she didn't want to stay home without having anything to do she really doesn't sitting idle. So she had her shower and got ready and her curls were perfect she decided to put on skirts and no makeups just basic eye liners and brows then lip gloss. And she looked at the mirror and smiled "I hope we get it this time around" then she took off and hopped for the best.
She got to the address Mira sent her and she looked at the building from outside it was huge she couldn't imagine how it would be inside like it was close to 30 floors if not more she wasn't sure but now she was more scared she doesn't believe how one person can own this building it was insane she thought she was about to turn around and leave when the security called back that if she was there for the interview it was already started and if she doesn't he would have to lock the doors till the interview was over.
"wait why would lock the doors? What about people who haven't come yet but they are on their way"
"am sorry but those were my orders so are you coming in or not" she nodded and entered and he locked the door behind her and she walked up to the elevator and pressed it just when she was about to enter the elevator she saw some couple of cars pulled up at the entrance and there was this guy with the good physique and had a lot of bodyguard and she figured it was obviously the owner of the company so she brushed down her skirts and she entered the elevator.
She got to the floor she was supposed to have her interview so she submitted it to the secretary and sat down and waited for her turn just then she received a messaged from Mira asking how the interview was going and she replied with the cutest emoji then she heard her name
"miss Samantha Carpenter"
"yes?" she answered standing up
"you are next ma'am, good luck!" the secretary said smiling
"thank you" she said asking for directions to the office. She eventually found her way to the office she opened the door and walked right in she didn't know why she was feeling so uneasy but she wasn't okay she suddenly felt sick to her stomach then she walked to the desk in front of her she didn't see anyone so she sat down and waited just seconds later she heard a door closed and followed by footsteps and a voice that she kind of recognized
"am sorry for keeping you waiting I just had my breakfast so I had to go, so miss Samantha Carpenter, I have gone through your files and it shows that you are over qualified for this job I would just by the way want to ask you one question if you don't mind" the man said making coffee from the coffee machine not looking her way yet
"sure sir" she said wondering why he hasn't come to sit down and have the interview like a normal boss would do
"great, how do you think you can help this company grow if you were the manager or the head of department?" he said adding ice to his coffee and went to his seat then he looked up and saw her then the smile on his face all wiped off then dropped his coffee on the desk
"okay, I would love to start by increasing the amount….." as she raised her head to face the man then she choked on her own words she started to cough and stood up and looked at him again and she was short of words and she finally said
"you? How? But you were at the interview the other day" she said trying to get her voice back
"I was wondering I knew her recognized your voice but I didn't know it would spoil my day this much, what are you doing here you rude human being, oh you knew I would recognize you even from the back so you changed your hair. I would just be clear about what's going to happen right now miss Carpenter, you carry your files and leave my office and never try to come back again" he said smiling Sam at that moment thought if he has ever done a toothpaste commercial he had a nice pair of tooth then she suddenly snapped back into reality
"but…but…but…you said I was over qualified for the job…you can't do this" she said stammering
"well I changed my mind and I think I can miss Carpenter" he said resting his back on the chair watching her shake and very confused
"am so very sorry for what happened between us in the elevator that day I was very pissed and angry and you couldn't just stop talking and I had to act that way am really sorry sir"
"so are you saying that it was my fault?" he asked her standing up and hitting the table "so you are saying am rude? And I don't know the difference between who is rude or not? Is that it?" he said asking liking the way he was making her feel and scaring her at the moment
"no ,no ,no, that's not what am saying, am saying everything is my fault I shouldn't have been so rude to a stranger I barely knew please sir I need this job please sir" she said going on her knees and joining her hands together and added "please sir" almost breaking into tears then he saw her condition and ran to the other side of the table to carry her up
"am so sorry I didn't mean to make you sad" he apologized and helped her to sit down and looked at her eyes and saw they were actually red and he said "hey, look at me" and she did "am sorry okay?" he stretched and carried the glass of water and gave it to her saying "I wouldn't have anyone else take the job seriously, I meant what I said the other time you are really over qualified for the job" he said and he also noticed she was calming down
"really?" she asked sniffing
"yes I mean I wouldn't have any other company telling nonsense to my face when you are working for me you know how to argue and it's hard not to agree with you I tell you" he said smiling
"thank you Mr Coleman" she said smiling dropping the glass of what back on the desk
"welcome to The Coleman Industry! You are the new manager" he said sitting back down on his chair and packing the files and looked at her and smiled and he noticed how cute she looked in the curls and her smile was gorgeous and she caught him looking at her he then cleared his throat and said
"so you can go and tell my secretary to call in the next person in, off you go" he said
"okay sir" she said grabbing her files from his desk and left the office and she then wondered why he suddenly changed his attitude towards her but she wasn't bothered about it she was happy she got the job she shouted "I GOT THE JOB BITCHES" and Matt was in his office when he heard her, he smiled and took a sip if his coffee.
