Rosaline's POV
I crossed my fingers in-between my legs and patiently waited for his dismissal, it felt like ages I'd been sitting there answering all his questions as confident as i could. But with the looks of disgust and hate he fired my way made me realize I've been doing nothing but piss him off, which I'm not sorry about.
The man's an asshole.
"That'll be all for now miss Barker, shut the door on your way out." He spat without sparing me as much as a glance.
Feeling extremely annoyed and irritated, I unknowingly huffed which earned me an "excuse me" look from him. Ignoring him, i walked out of the hall but not after I made sure I slammed the door as hard as I could.
Convinced that I'm never getting the job, I decided to send a quick text to River whilst I waited for the elevator to get to the floor i was in. Hearing the loud ding of the elevator, I attempted to walk in with my face buried in my phone causing me to side bump into something hard.
I yelped and dropped my phone causing it to crack, I audibly gasped as my hand automatically flew to cover my mouth.
Tears pooled in my eyes as I stared at the phone in utter disbelief, how do I manage to destroy everything I touch.
"You really need to watch where you're going, you almost ruined my suit. Do you have any idea of how much it cost? Of course someone like you will never ever know what luxury looks like."
Not bothering to look up at him, I picked up my phone and wiped my eyes with the back of my hand, staining it with my smudged eyeliner.
"You're right." I whispered to myself and walked in the elevator with my head bowed. Pressing the last floor I did nothing but to stare at my broken screen and sigh.
Finally getting to the lobby, I hurried out of the building and hailed a taxi, sighing heavily I found myself wishing today never happened.
The taxi got to my building and I got out after paying and wrapped my hands around myself in a way to shield myself from the cold air.
Walking to the stairs, I opened the door with the help of the spare key I had and smiled immediately I saw my bestie sitting on the couch with a bowl of popcorn on her laps, watching twilight.
"Hey best friend." She bellowed. "How was the interview? Not as hard as we thought right?" She asked.
"Not quite, but I did the best I could." I sighed heavily while trying to hold in my tears and not break down. Noticing the quivering in my voice, she turned to me almost immediately and hurried out of the couch to give me a big hug.
I hugged her back and cried on her shoulder.
After a few reassuring words and motivation from River, I retired to my room and found myself giving in to the darkness that consumed me.
I woke up to the sound of my phone buzzing from my bed and after rubbing my sleepy eyes, I answered the phone.

I was livid.
Could this be a prank call? But who else knows about my interview, my sister? My parents? No they wouldn't go to this length to prank a nobody like me.

An irritated tone evident in her voice, I cleared my throat lowly.
'๐๐ฐ๐ณ๐จ๐ช๐ท๐ฆ ๐ฎ๐บ ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด, ๐'๐ญ๐ญ ๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ข๐บ. ๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฌ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ด๐ฐ ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ค๐ฉ, ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ด ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฏ๐ด ๐ข ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ฎ๐ฆ.'
She hung up.
Humph bitch.
Taking a moment to process what just happened, I stared at my phone again waiting for the "you've been pranked" message.
But no other message came in, and that was the moment I screamed. Running out of my room i barged into River's room and jumped on her bed.
"I got the job." I hollered.
"What?" Immediately sitting up, she stared at me wide eyed.
"I got the job as a personal assistant River, to Xavier Woods himself." Tears welled up in my eyes.
"Oh my God Rose." Then we both screamed like maniacs and then started crying. We cried together and hugged each other tightly. I was extremely happy and proud of myself, I wouldn't have made it this far if I hadn't left that hellhole I call a house.
"I'm so happy River." I cried.
"I don't care what you say Rose, we're going shopping first thing tomorrow."
I nodded in agreement and we continued celebrating my new job till it was a few minutes past 2am.
Then we both went to bed.
