Amerylla's POV
OMG, I nearly screamed. I was very much a good person if I slapped him but could I?. No, I couldn't.
"I'm sorry but I'm not interested in working for you", I answered instead.
"Fine", he answered simply, making me frown in confusion.
That's it?. He'll let it go?. Why did I doubt that.
"it's fine because I have a lot of time on my hands but I don't think you'll be finding any other job other than the one I'm offering", he said so smoothly, I wondered if it was a threat.
My eyes narrowed at him.
How dare him?. Was he underestimating me right now?. Just because I had lost 3 jobs in one month didnt mean I couldn't keep a job. We shall see Blaze Lockheart!.
And then I walked out on him without saying another word. Unbeknownst to me, Blaze was smirking mischieviously behind me, "I'll make it such that you will not find another job Amerylla".
I immediately joined an app for finding jobs and I smiled when I saw the notifications coming in. So many jobs including providing online services. Well then, what are you going to do Blazy-Blaze?.
I let out a huge victorious laugh at the thought.
The next day, I woke up with a cramp in my neck. Note to self, do not sleep in tge couch again. I immediately checked the app to find 3 new job offers. A smile spread out on my face.
Why didn't I think of this earlier?.
Because you needed Blaze Lockheart to finally get your dormant brain to think.
Who said that?
Me.
You who?
Was I hearing voices now?, I wondered.
Me, your brain.
What?, I was talking to my brain?. I must be losing it. Finally the last straw that broke the camel's back. Perhaps I shall be admitted to a mental clinic now.
No, no, I'm not crazy...
Woman!, are you sure?
Stop talking to me brain, I'm not crazy. I'm only stressed.
If I stop talking to you, you're going to become dumb once again.
How dare that little organ inside my head say that?. Know what?, I was so done with my brain at this moment.
I stopped thinking and immediately began to hum to myself as I finished washing my face.
Then I dressed up and attended all the job interviews for the day. Every said the same thing, the classic "we'll give you a call. Have a nice day" and I smiled. An hour later, I got 3 different calls and the same thing.
"We're sorry to inform you that you didn't qualify for the job"
Pull the brakes on me. Those were the best, in my opinion, interview I had ever granted and what didn't qualify?...They had told me just moments ago that I had fairly good qualifications and I took a deep breath and calmed down immediately.
"Alright, thank you", I quickly ended the call. Then it hit me, weren't they supposed to call in a few days time?. Why did they outright reject me all of a sudden?.
I shrugged it off and checked my app, a smile once again appearing on my face.
2 job interviews for tomorrow.
And I for Thursday.
No one is going to stop me. I will get myself a job.
Just then, my phone rang and I groaned at the caller ID.
Shayda.
I was reluctant to tell them that I had lost my new job once again but I didn't want to lie to them either. And hence the reason I was so against talking to my sister.
The call ended and I sighed in relief. I hailed a taxi and gave directions. Unbeknownst to me, the red Lambho was parked a few ways down the road.
Blaze Lockheart had done his magic once again. He had lost me my potential job.
Blaze smiled. He hadn't had such fun in a long time. Amerylla was just making him want to mess with her more and more. He might get used to this.
Meanwhile, I kicked off my back pumps and lazily threw myself into the couch. Out of nowhere, I saw my sister Shayda in the living room.
What the hell?. How did she get keys to my apartment?.
"oh if you're wondering how I got the keys....ask Jayda", she said as if reading my mind.
That slimy elder sister if mine. How dare she secretly make a copy of my apartment keys?. I shall deal with later.
"What are you doing OMG!!!!!", I said in surprise when I saw my other sister Jayda walk in.
She sent me a sinister smile and I snickered in annoyance.
"What are you two doing here?", I asked them instantly.
"No the correct question is....what are you doing here?", Jayda asked me.
And I frowned in confusion.
"This is my house", I said in affirmation.
They both nodded.
"True, but you're not supposed to be back from work until after 3".
The frown on my face immediately disappeared. Oh shoot, they found out. What gave me away?, I wondered.
"we'll we, I mean my class, the school closed early" I desperately tried to lie but Shayda tsked at me.
Jayda shook her head.
"did you lose your job?", she asked.
"Pfffft ....what?. No. What makes you think i did?", I let out a very fake laugh and asked.
Don't catch on.... Please don't catch on.
"You did, didn't you?", Shayda added.
"I already said no", I said sounding a little offended.
"Then why didn't you answer your phone?"
Ow ow, no excuse. I didn't prepare an excuse for that.
"I was busy", I said simply.
"Yeah?, Busy looking for a job?. Because an old friend of mine called to say that she saw you at her firm's job interview today. And she's the same friend I had bragged to on Saturday that you had gotten a "very" permanent job", Jayda continued and I wanted nothing but for the ground to open up and swallow me whole.
I felt so embarrassed and finally decided to admit the truth.
"Yes I lost my job"
I looked up and my mouths were wide open.
And I wanted to disappear in a puff of smoke right then and there.
