MIA'S POV:
Hi friends, my name is Mia Colton. Am 23 years old, I'm from a family of 3, used to be 4 but unfortunately my dad is dead. I have a little brother, Jace, who is 14 years and currently in highschool. He doesn't look his age though.
After dad's death, it's been difficult to live a normal life. My mom works in a restaurant and she does not really make a lot of daily income to feed us well but we do get support from dad's family sometimes. It got to a point my mom couldn't pay my little brother's school fees anymore and he most times he would always be home.
I have a few friends because most of them didn't want to associate with me because of our financial status. We were obviously not as rich as some of them were. Although, the few friends I have are really supportive and very encouraging.
I heard a knock on the door, so I lazily got up from the bed to check who was at the door. It was my best friend, Liam, although Liam was two years older than me, she treats me like a big sister because I was a lot more bigger in size than her.
"Who's there ?" I asked sleepily
"Mia, it's me Liam" she said in a very cheerful tone
"What are you doing here by this time of the night Liam ?" I asked with a audible tone because I was fully awake already.
I allowed her in then we sat on the floor and started talking
"I have something to tell you Mia baby" Liam said with a smirk
"What is it Liam, don't keep me in suspense please" I said curiously with a cat eyes
"Just guess Mia"
"I don't know how to guess you know this"
"Okay okay" Mia said with an irritated face
"Concerning what we discussed yesterday, you told me to inform you in case I see any job vacancy around"
"Yes, I did. Did you see any job vacancy ? "I said with my eyes wild open
"Of course I did and I know you are definitely fit for the job baby girl" Liam said smiling.
"Stop teasing me, so what is the job description ?"
"Well, it's an office job, you are gonna be the secretary of the company. It is a well known company, Luckery Corporation"
"Yeah, I have heard about that company, it is a very big company I must admit"
"I know right, you have to start getting prepared because the interview sessions are gonna start by 8am tomorrow"
"I need to go get ready then. Thank you so much Liam, you've been more of a sister than a friend to me. I'm really grateful for all you do" I said almost tearing up
"Don't cry baby girl" Liam said while laughing loud
"What are friends for then if we don't help each other? You're now like a sister to me and I will surely do anything within my power to ensure you're fine, girl" she said while tapping my head
"Thanks Liam. I think I should go iron my dress because tomorrow is gonna be a big day"
"Not so fast mrs secretary, you haven't offered me anything since I came" Liam said while holding her belly
"Oh sorry I forget, let me get something for you to eat"
"Thanks girl" Liam said hungrily
Mom and Jace came back very late that night. They were both surprised to see Liam because she had never said as long as that in our house
"Good evening mummy" I and Liam uniformly greeted my mom
"Good evening Aunty Mia and Aunty Liam" Jace also greeted as he waved to the both of us
"How are you doing Jace ?" Liam asked him
"Welcome mummy, how was your day ?" I asked my mom as I helped her carry the bags she came in with
"Very stressful Mia" Mom said tiredly. I felt pity for her because I know how hard she works everyday just to make I and my little brother comfortable
"I made something for the both of you to eat at least that's the least I can do to help, I'll go set the table now"
"Liam!!! come help me set the table" I shouted on top of my voice
"Okay Mia, I'm coming" she ran down to the kitchen
After eating, mom and Jace went to the bedroom to sleep while I and Liam continued our conversation because she already decided to spend the night in our house. I decided to change the topic and I asked her about her relationship
"So how are you guys going ?" I asked with a while pouring myself a glass of juice
"Who are you talking about ?" Liam asked pretending not to know who I was talking about
"I know you know who I'm referring to, well am talking about Jackson" I said with a smirk
"He is doing fine, I was at his place before I came here"
"Are you for real !!?" I asked with my hand covering my mouth
"Wow, that's so nice. I pray this new relationship of yours lasts" I said jokingly
"It will Mia, be postive" I gave her a stern look
"You better start getting prepared for your job interview tomorrow and stop pokenosing into my love life" Liam said with a light smile
"Tomorrow is gonna be a big day. I really need to get prepared"
"Yeah, you also need to sleep on time so you would wake up early and get there before 8am"
"Okay, I'm gonna go with you on this one. You also need to sleep early too so you would wake up early and then go to your house to make some explanations to where you've been" I said and we both laughed loud
"Goodnight Mia. Sweet dreams, Angels on your pillow baby"
"Same here sweetie. Sleep tight and dream of me"
She laughed so hard before she drifted immediately to sleep.
