I checked the newspapers and internet for job vacancies but they were either office related work or somewhere faraway,the office work isn't going to work for me since they all required high credentials and for someone like me who was a measly high school graduate it's not going to be feasible. I went out to look for job in cafes and restaurants but they didn't have any vacant posts,I am getting really frustrated right now. I started the search in the morning and it's currently 5:00 pm,I guess I have to call it a day. I disappointedly headed back home.
On the way home a lady across the street called my name, I was shocked and confused on how she knew my name while I was in my confused state she crossed the straight and bear hugged me. She released me from her hold after what felt like forever,I took a few seconds to catch my breath. I now had the chance to see her face properly and to my greatest surprise it was my childhood friend Sora,I can't believe it she is right in front of me,I didn't think it would ever be possible to come across her again since we lost contact with each other. Sora!!! I called out trying to confirm if I was really seeing her.
We have a lot to catch up on and since we will probably talk for a long period of we better find somewhere to sit said Sora as she pulled Riko into the nearest restaurant.
Riko-Sora, is this really you or am I dreaming?
Sora- seriously, you see me again after so many years and all you do is ask me if I'm real or not.
Riko-I'm sorry,I am just surprised that I get the chance to meet you again,especially since you were in another country.
Sora-it's ok but when I came back I went to your house but I didn't find anyone,so I guessed you most have relocated,where you staying now and also how is mom and dad doing?. Sorry if I'm asking too much question,I'm just curious.
Riko-(sighs)mom and dad died in a car crash about two years ago.
Sora-what?you mean mom and dad are... I'm so sorry
Riko- it's ok,lets forget about disheartening things.
Riko-look at you since when do u dress formally,the sora I used to know was a rebel.what happened
Sora-i grew up I guess, and you haven't changed at all my hotheaded bunny still looks like a girl.
Riko-ha ha funny,with your attire I suppose you are going somewhere I don't want you to be late.
Sora- no I'm not going anywhere, I'm just getting back from work.
Riko-really?
Sora-yeah,i work as the human resources department manager in SK Corp.
Riko- wow ,but of course what else could I expect from the child genius Sora Hart.
Sora-thanks,the place isn't as great as what people say it , the CEO is cold and unapproachable all the time,if not for the for the fact that he only comes to country S once in awhile I probably would have died from the chilly and uncomfortable air around the place.
Riko-woah.
Sora- enough about me,let's talk about you.
Riko- there is nothing much about me actually I live in the on the fourth street from here,I used to work in a cafe in town A as a waiter,I came to City D a week ago and I am currently searching for a job,that's all.
Sora-you are looking for a job,there is a vacant post in my workplace for a secretary what about you try your luck.
Riko-That's great all but we are talking about SK Corp I am just an high school graduate.
Sora-because it is SK Corp you have to try,it's not only by high credentials,if the boss thinks you are capable enough you will get the job.
Riko-thanks for your help,I really appreciate it.
Meanwhile lex was getting bored of the blind date with Stephanie,if not for the promise he made to his mom he wouldn't have even showed up. Stephanie was trying as hard as possible to make him pay attention to her but it was all futile efforts because he didn't try to look at her face not even once.
Lex was so bored of doing nothing so he decided to look at Stephanie's face for the first time in the entire dinner. Lex started to compare her with his white haired stranger without realizing it. Compared to my little tomato she is falling back in cuteness thought lex ,Stephanie on the other end of the table was having a different line of thought,he is finally looking at me and he seems interested and here I was thinking I didn't have a chance with him thought Stephanie while she smiled internally.
