Ray ate breakfast that morning quite much. He didn't really know why but he felt kind of good. He even slept so well. He ate breakfast alone as usual. He couldn't seat with his dad for a long time and his mom always bother him a lot so he tried to avoid both of them.
After eating, he picked up his bag, went outside and got into the car.
Inside the car, he took out a flowery handkerchief and looked at it. The scent was just so refreshing and nice. He put it back in his pocket and looked outside the window.
When he reached the school, he ordered his driver to pack few miles away from the school gate. He wanted to stroll a little bit today. He strolled into the school and walked among the bustling students.
It was quite nice, he thought but he also hoped to see Amanda.
But first of all, he didn't know her name
Second of all, he didn't know her department
Third of all, he didn't know anyone that knew her.
Fourth of all, he wanted to see her but didn't want to return the handkerchief.
He chuckled at his foolishness. Before he reached his department, he was already sweating.
Take this, he heard a calm voice say. He looked over and saw a slim fair girl standing in front of him with a handkerchief.
Ray only looked at her with a confused expression. He didn't know her from anywhere so why was she doing this?
You are sweating, Emily said stretching her hand more.
No need. Thanks. Ray replied and passed her. Emily was quite sad. She actually liked ray since the day she saw him presenting in one of the school event. They weren't in the same department but she stalked him a lot. She sees when he comes to school, goes back, eat at the cafeteria, go to the broadcasting room whenever she wasn't having classes.
She ran up to him and cleaned his face herself. Ray was stunned.
Wait what?
Was this girl being serious?
Emily finished cleaning his sweat and smile sweetly at him.
Bye, she ran off immediately without waiting for a response. Ray turned back and looked at her with an amused expression. He just shook his head and headed to class.
He had just two classes for the day.

Meanwhile, Amanda was in class sitting beside Emily. The class was interactive and interesting unlike some other boring classes.
Two hours later, the class was over and Amanda quickly packed her bag intending to rush out but Emily stopped her.
Hi Amanda, she greeted with a cute smile.
Hi there, you good?
Yeah I am.
You have been leaving so early these days, is there a problem? Emily asked.
Not at all. Everything is okay. I just have important things to do outside school.
Let's exchange our contact then, Emily said bringing out her phone.
Amanda was quite hesitant to do so cause she felt like she wasn't close enough to Emily.
But anyway they were classmates so she gave her number to her and ran out from the class.
Emily looked at her back and smiled; then saved the number.
Amanda boarded a cab back home to get changed quickly then go to ZEKE GROUP.
When she reached in few minutes, she freshened up, ate and took the flier when she got out.
She boarded another cab and gave him the directions but it was easy to find since it was known among everyone. She saw the tall mighty building while she was getting closer to it. She was so excited but didn't know why. She just had a feeling that something good was going to happen.
She hurriedly got out from the car and paid the cab driver when she reached. ZEKE GROUP was boldly sculptured on the top of the building. Amanda walked inside and saw lots of people walking here and there.
She walked up to the receptionist and greeted with a smile.
"Hello, I'm here for a job", she said revealing her beautiful set of teeth.
The receptionist just gave her a disdainful look. "How could she walked up to her and said that?" She thought.
Amanda saw the look the receptionist gave her so she just showed the flyer to her.
"Go to the 5th floor, you will see the HR's office and other people there for the job position."
Amanda thanked her despite her bad attitude towards her. "Did this company have bad taste when it comes to employing, she thought?"
She just shook her head and got inside the elevator. She was about to press a button but the elevator opened again and zayne walked in. He wore a hoodie and used headphones too. He glanced at Amanda and continued pressing his phone. Amanda pressed the 5th floor button while he pressed the 6th floor button. The elevator was quiet since none of them spoke. Amanda was only praying in her heart to get the job. On the other hand, zayne was just watching an educational video about photography.
Few minutes, Amanda went out from the elevator then zayne followed later. Amanda didn't have problem finding where the HR's office was because lots of people were lined up outside.
She was quite stunned because she didn't expect this number of people. But she didn't feel discouraged since she saw lots of people around her age. She only sat on one of the empty seats there after registering her name and waited.
While waiting, some group of girls were whispering and laughing. She wasn't the type to really gossip but she heard them clearly since she was sitting close to them.
"Did you hear? This company has lots of hot and handsome guys" the first girl said.
"Yeah I did, besides most of us are here not for the job but for them" the second one responded chuckling lightly.
They all agreed and continued talking about the hot guys in the company. Amanda was only amused by them.
"Why would you want to work if not to earn money but to see hot guys?" They were so foolish.
She remembered the guy she was with in the elevator but unfortunately for her, she didn't see his face since he was wearing a hoodie. Anyway, she was called into the office for her interview.
