Sydney woke up at 8 am. She went to the market and bought some seafood because she wants a seafood meal for her breakfast. She quickly cooks her breakfast and started eating. She is almost done when she feels her phone vibrates from her pocket. She takes her phone and swipes the screen. She panicked when she read that it is from the HR Department of Lim Group of Company. She were told to come to the M City for an interview. She's intructed to bring her portfolio and wear formal office attire and be exactly at the office at 2 pm.
She immediately called her mother and told her that she has a job interview on M City, and she might visit them later after her interview.
Her mother suddenly asked her what would she do if she gets hired and where should she stay because her apartment in L City was very far from M City. She couldn't travel back and forth. She told her mother that maybe she would just stay in their old house before since it's the nearest place to the company that she would possibly will work for.
Her mom agreed to her decision. She hung up her phone after their converstation. It's already 10 am, and she still needs to take a bath and prepare her clothes. She quickly went to the bathroom. After taking a bath she prepared the clothes that she bought in M City Mall.
She chose to wear a long sleeves white polo blouse and match it with a high waist dark gray slacks pants, almost like a trouser pants but still very formal style. She also let hair long hair loose and uses a thin plain hairband to keep her hair into place. She brush her bangs and put on a little makeup on her face. For her lips, she used a semi nude color of lipstick. She also didn't forget to wear hear earings and necklace and lastly a black 2 inch high heeled shoes. After she finished all of these, she checked her documents and put it in an envelope. She took her car and apartment keys and all the necessary things that she needed and headed down stairs.
She went inside her car, and drive her way on M City. It's almost 10:30 when she left her apartment.
She stopped by a milktea shop and decided to buy her favorite flavor. It was exactly 1:50 pm when she arrived in front of the company building. She asked the guard where she can parked her car. The guard was mermerized by her beauty and shows her where to parked
She got out of her car, get her portfolio and other documents, then look at the mirror and fix herself. She went inside the company and asked the receptionist where is the HR Department. The receptionist called the HR to confirm her appointment then she was told to go to the second floor, to the right side, the last room is where the HR Department is.
When she left the first floor, the receptionists and other staffs were talking about her. They thought at first that she is a client and not an applicant. They also thought that she was a model or some sort of a celebrity. The other staff offered her to take her on the HR Department but she refused politely, smile and tell them that she can do it by herself. The staffs were stunned when she smile at them. They couldn't wait to see her work here and see her everyday.
At the HR Department, the secretary call Sydney's and give her the go signal to enter the room of the Head of HR Department. She knocked and someone from inside tells her to come in.
"Hi Goodafternoon Miss Aguilar, I'm Sara Rodriguez the HR Department Head, please have a sit"
"Goodafternoon Mam, I'm very pleased and honor to meet you" she greeted afterwards then she sits on the chair.
The interview goes lasted for 40 minutes. Sara was tasked to review about her details and informations because she was recommended by the Friend of the CEO. In that 40 minutes of getting to know Sydney, she realized that she's very well spoken and knows what she's talking about. At 23 she already competed on different contest with regards to her architecture course when she was just studying. She looked at all her certificates and every single one of them states that she always win. She also designed and layout one of the university's building that was built last year.
At first she taught that she's just a pretty face but when she came inside of her office, no she's not just a pretty face, she's one hell of a gorgeous and stunning woman. Even with her decent outfit and light makeup she still manage to get everyone's attention without her noticing that she's been the center of attention a while ago. But when the interview started she can't help but think that this woman is both brain and beauty.
Over the phone yesterday evening Sara already talked to the head of Architecture Department. She already sent Kian all the details about Sydney. Kian on the other hand was very impress of her credentials, it's like this woman doesn't even need to introduce herself because her portfolio and credentials speaks for herself. So he decided not to interview her anymore. Since the one who recommend her was Mark and it was approved by the CEO.
"Congratulations Ms. Aguilar you are hired. You can start working tomorrow. Office hours is 8am to 5pm. I will show you the Architecture Department and introduce you the Head of the team."
"Thank you very much Mam Rodriguez" Sydney shakes Sara's hand.
"You can call me Sara, Mam Rodriguez sounds very old"
"Let's go, follow me to the Architecture Department." Sara added
Sydney followed her to the 3rd floor and entered a big room with a lot of employees working on their desk. There is a room at the back with a signage that says "Architectural Department Head". They passed by all the employees and went directly to the office. Since most of the employees on this department are males, they all turned their head and look at Sydney.
Inside the architect head's office he was busy revising the proposal that Ivan declined for the third time. The door opened and he knows already who is it. It's Sara, she's the only one who has the courage to open the door in my office without knocking. He looked up and saw that she's with someone else. He recall her profile, so this is Mark's student that he recommended to Ivan? Sara suddenly speaks
"Kian this is Sydney Aguilar your new junior architect. Sydney this is Mr. Kian Aragon the head of this department" Kian smiled at Sydney and held her hand for a handshake.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Sir Kian" Sydney smiled back.
They take a seat and Sara started to explain to her the arrangements of her work. She understood everything.
"Since your new here, I would like to warn you that the CEO is very perfectionist, he just declined all of my proposals. So tomorrow on your first day of work I would like you to submit your own proposals for the important project that we plan to built on L City I'll have my assistant to send you the details of the projec" Kian giving her very first tasks. " I will give you 3 to 4 days to finished the proposal, that's all "
"Your desk is located outside, just beside my office room" Kian Added
Kian went back to his work and dismissed the two woman.
Sydney thanked Sara and immediately go home to packed her things. She packed almost 4 luggages and put it in the two on trunk of her car, the other two luggage she placed it at the back of her car. She didn't have much time to visit her mother after her interview because she wants to settled her things on their old house first. She doesn't want to be late on the first day of her job. She went home earlier after her interview at around 5:30 to 6:00pm. Than she finished packing for almost 2 hrs and had to check the apartment before she leaves at 8:00 pm. Since it's already evening there is no traffic at all.
She arrived at their old house at 10:30. She open the trunk of her car and get the two luggages and the other at the back of her car. She carry her lugages one by one and put it in the vacant room. She quickly remove her things and place it on the drawers and cabinet. This house doesn't actually look old anymore. Some of the furnitures are new and they also repaint the wall. The kitchen and the bathroom are well maintained too.
After settling down, she felt very tired. Good thing that she also packed some foods for her because she doesn't have enough time to cook at this hour. While she's eating, she opened her email. She received several emails particularly the from Mr. Kian. He send the files and information about the project proposal the he mentioned in the office. She open the files and reads what's inside, she knew right away that this is a complicated project. She needs to study it carefully before she develops her own concepts for structures of the said project. If her initial proposals where to be approved, she can move on and develop her final construction plans. She closed her laptop and wash the dishes quickly, went back to her room and sleep right away.
