Chapter 21 - Job hunt

The next day was a Sunday and Luna and her brother were at home. She was having breakfast with him and contemplating on whether or not to tell him about her decision to find a part time job and finally decided to tell him, she really couldn't keep that from him.

Brother, I have something to tell you, Luna said. What is it princess? Kim Tan asked looking at her.

Well, the thing is that I have decided to look for a part time job to help around here, seeing you working so hard for us, I want to do something to help, she said.

Kim Tan looked at her for some time wondering why she suddenly wanted to work. Is there a problem, do you need money? He asked.

No no I don't need money, Luna said.

Then why do you want to work, I earn enough to take care of us, I refuse to let you work, Kim Tan said.

I just feel like doing something to help you out, am free here after school and I get bored when you are at work, I could use that time to do some work and earn some money, Luna said trying to convince him. Pleaseeeee brother, she said tugging at his cloth and pouting pitifully, she was playing the cutie card knowing that her brother wouldn't be able to refuse her.

Ok, ok,I will allow it once I know the kind of job it is and am sure that it won't affect your studies, Kim Tan said compromising.

Thank you brother, Melissa is helping me look around, I will inform you of the job once I find any, Luna said smiling happily.

Kim Tan smiled also infected by her happiness, let's eat before the food gets cold, he said and they continued eating their food.

After breakfast, Kim Tan went to his room to go through some work which he brought home while Luna stayed in her room singing. She got a call from Melissa and it interuptted her singing. Hello Melissa, hey Luna, Melissa replied.

I had my friends look around and found two spots which would fit your schedule perfectly. One is a bookstore,you can start work by 3:00 PM which is an hour after your school dismissal and close when you are done cleaning but you have to work full time on Saturdays as the store is very busy on Saturdays, you just need to clean the place and tidy things up. The other one is even more perfect for you, it's a music club called The Fillmore, it's a place where singers can sing, dance, play instruments and relax, the job is also to clean and tidy the place, the work starts by 4:00 PM and ends by 7:00PM but you have to work full time on weekends as the place is open throughout the week days, the salary is also higher than the book store, so which would you be going for? Melissa asked.

The two are good choices but I will take the music club offer, I can learn there as I work since it's related to my field of study, Luna said.

I knew you were gonna take that one, I will send you the location, you can go today by 3:00 PM, the manager will interview you and I know you will get the job, best of lucks, Melissa said.

Thank you so much Melly, I will treat you after this, Luna said.

You are here with your thank you again, we are friends now, so let's skip the thanking part, Melissa said.

You are right, I will get ready now it's already 1:30, I don't want to be late for the interview, Luna said before ending the call to get dressed.

Luna dressed up, she was wearing a black jeans, fitted white shirt, and leather jacket. Her hair was perfectly styled, and she exuded confidence. She went to her brother's room to inform him that she was leaving.

She went in seeing her brother at his study table busy with documents. Brother I just got a call from Melissa informing me....,...

She went on to narrate the nature of the job and that she was heading out for the interview.

That was fast, anyway best of luck princess, you are a genius and I know you will get the job, Kim Tan said cheering her.

Thank you brother, I will go now, Luna said leaving the house, she got into a taxi leaving for the location Melissa texted her.

Getting to the place,Luna gazed up at The Fillmore's iconic sign, boldly lit atop the historic building. The venue's elegant facade featured ornate details and a warm, terracotta hue, exuding a sense of classic style and musical legacy. The Fillmore was the biggest music club where artist come to relax and unwind sometimes, the building really befits it's reputation, Luna thought to herself.

She got into the lobby and went to the reception desk. Hello, am here for a job interview, Luna said smiling brightly.

The secretary looked at her before turning to her computer and asked are you Miss Kim Luna? Yes I am, Luna answered.

You can take a sit thereand wait, the manager is still in a meeting, she will take you up when he's done, she said pointing at another girl not far away from them.

Luna sat down in a chair at the corner admiring the exquisite design of the lobby while waiting for the manager.
