Chapter 2 - The Interview

MIA'S POV:

I woke up as early as 5am this morning because I knew today was gonna be a very very hectic day for me.

I went to mom's room to check if she was still asleep because I couldn't tell her the previous day about the job interview. Fortunately, she was awake already

"Good morning mom, how was your night ?" I asked with a sleepy voice

"Fine Mia and yours ?" She asked

"Fine mom, I have something to tell you" I said seriously

"What is it baby girl ?" she asked abandoning what she was doing earlier

"I'm gonna be going for a job interview today" I said while smiling

"A job interview ?"

"What company are you planning on working with ?" Mom asked

"Luckery Corporation mom"

"What!!! Luckery Corporation ??"

She continued "Wow, I wish you all the best Mia"

"Thanks mom, I'll make you proud I promise" I said smiling

"That's the spirit my girl. Go make mama proud" she said walking towards me with her arms open for a hug

"Come give me a hug baby girl"

I ran to hug my mum. That was one of the happiest moment of my life.

I went to the guest room where Liam slept to wake her up.

"Wake up Liam, sleepy head" I shook her

"Huhhnnnh" Liam murmured

"Wake up girl, you gotta take your bath and go to work" I continued shaking her

"Okay okay I'm up already" she said as she was dozing off

I dragged her out of the bed to the bathroom while I also went to my room to take my bath.

After about twenty minutes, I heard a knock on my door. It was my little brother, Jace.

"Come in" I said with a light tone.

Jace kept knocking because I guess he didn't hear me well

"Come in" I shouted on top of my voice. Jace came in with a bowl of soup mom had prepared. My room was scattered because I ransacked my wardrobe in search of the right shoes to fit my dress. Jace who was half asleep, sleepwalked towards my bed when he mistakenly stumbled against one of the shoes lying on the floor.

"Jezz" He whimped in pain not realizing he had spilled the soup on my dress. The one I was going to wear for the interview precisely.

"Be more careful next time" I yelled angrily. I tried to wash off the stains from the dress but I wasn't coming off.

"Argh" I stamped my feet on the floor angrily. I thought of what to do next so I decided to inform Liam about the dress. I hurriedly walked up to the guest room where Liam slept the night before.

"Liam!!!" I shouted so hard that I could feel the house vibrate. I searched the room and the whole house and I still couldn't find her. I decided to ask mom if she saw her.

"Mom, I searched the house for Laim, but I can't find her, do you know where she could be ?". Mom said Liam had left earlier because she got a call from her mom about her ill dad.

"What am I gonna do right know ?" I asked myself. It was 7am already, so I decided to rush down to Liam's house if she could lend me one of her clothes.

*******************************

LIAM'S POV:

"Dad will be fine, okay ?" Liam tried consoling her mom. Liam's dad was a millionaire and a philanthropist.

I knocked on the door. Liam was surprised to see me at her house, she allowed me in immediately. That was the second time I was visiting her at her house and it seemed I still haven't got used to magnificent mansion. I and Liam's mom exchanged pleasantries and from her expression, she was both surprised and happy to see me.

"I need to see you urgently" I whispered into Liam's ears. Liam's mom after seeing my action knew we were gonna be needing privacy so she left the living room. I narrated what happened back at the house to Liam then I asked if she had some clothes I could wear for the interview.

"We ain't wearing the same of clothes, Mia" she said with a confusing look

"I know but you should have some bigger clothes I can wear" I held her hands tight with a pleading eyes

"Okay okay, I think I have some, follow me to my room"

MIA'S POV:

I returned home a bit late. Luckily, Liam was able to find a suitable dress for me.

"This dress is beautiful" I paused for a second to admire it. I hurriedly did a light make-up and got ready. I looked at myself in the mirror and I was so beautiful.

"You look so good, Mia" Mom who had been standing at the door for a while complimented me. I hugged my mom before leaving. Liam already sent her driver to come pick me up.

The office reception was filled with a lot of people who came for the interview. It seemed the boss had not arrived yet. I took a number and then found somewhere to sit.

After about twenty minutes, I saw a man walked into an office, seems that's was boss in charge. I heard people murmur, some ladies also trying to adjust their shirts so their cleavages would entice the boss. I stayed calm and silently prayed I got the job. Not long after, numbers were being called out. I saw people go in and come out, I must admit I was was really really nervous. It got to my turn to be interviewed, I stood up and hurriedly walked towards the office. Before I entered, I silently said a short prayer.

"Good morning sir" I greeted the boss.

He answered me while he was looking down. I then told him I was for the interview

"Okay, have your sit" he continued "Let me have..." he abrubtly stopped talking as he faced up. He kept staring at me for a while before he continued. I was asked a few questions which I answered confidently and correctly. He told me to submit my credentials to the manager and that I would be called to start soon.

I was a bit unhappy because I wasn't sure I was gonna be called but I kept my hopes high.....
