After the divorce, Irina tried to find a job to meet her own needs. Through newspapers, news pages, even posters displayed on building walls and electricity poles. Until finally, Irina found a vacancy in the newspaper that matched her criteria. An accountant was needed immediately in an office engaged in financial services! Of course, that caught Irina's attention, she immediately sent her CV via the email registered there. While looking for other vacancies because she was tired of hoping for just one vacancy, considering that she had sent many CVs. But strangely, in just a matter of seconds, her email was replied to by the company. Irina, who was sitting at her desk in her room, which used to belong to Denis, fell silent for a moment looking at her laptop screen. Is it usually this fast for a reply from the company? Have they read her CV? Irina only hoped that this was not a scam, but it seemed that the address listed on the vacancy was the official address. "Interview? Tomorrow? Am I dreaming?" Irina said to herself when she was in a house this big alone. In fact, her classmates had told her that finding a job was not easy. They said Irina was lucky not to have to work and married a well-established doctor. Yes, it was just a beginning that did not guarantee a happy ending. Irina, who was enthusiastic about tomorrow's interview, immediately prepared everything. Starting from ironing formal clothes, formal heels and a bag and neat hairdo. Wearing a face and hair mask since last night so that her face would look fresh tomorrow, a few weeks of living alone did not make Irina lonely because she was used to being alone. Early in the morning Irina was woken up by the alarm clock on the nightstand, took a shower, then made breakfast. After that, she prepared herself and did not forget the files that might be needed later. The clock showed eight in the morning, Irina took the car keys intending to leave immediately. Along the way Irina turned on the music in her car, smiling happily because soon she would be working and starting her career. An ideal that had been delayed for two years, but Irina did not regret it. Besides, she did not have a child. Irina could go anywhere she wanted without having to worry about anything. She also had permission from her parents to work. As the music played a cheerful song, Irina had to pass through a building that was still always crowded until now. With the same people and vehicles as before when she always passed this street. And for some reason, the building seemed to attract Irina to go there. Actually Irina wanted to go there, but currently she did not have an income and Irina was worried that the association would suddenly charge a fee. Until finally, Irina decided to look for a job first. Arriving at the intended address, Irina parked her vehicle and entered a fairly luxurious office building in the city. Showing her files to the receptionist, without having to wait strangely Irina was immediately directed to the HRD room. "Hello, good morning!" Said a very neat man around forty years old, on his desk it was written Mr. Darren there. "Hello, good morning, sir!" Irina shook the man's hand and was finally invited to sit down. The interview session began, quite long and quite awkward for Irina who was doing an interview like this for the first time. After the interview was finished, Irina waited outside the HRD room. And for the second time, the strange thing for Irina was, no one else was doing the interview session besides Irina. In fact, this job vacancy was clearly displayed in a fairly well-known media. Are jobs in this era no longer needed by people? That's why her application file was quickly processed and responded to. "Mrs. Irina?!" Someone shouted from behind the door of the room who was not from Mr. Darren's room. "Yes?" Irina immediately got up from her seat and approached the person, a young man who Irina guessed was not much older than Irina. He invited Irina into the room and started taking photos with Irina in a formal pose. "Excuse me, may I know what for?" Irina had not yet agreed to the photo being taken. She was still standing holding her bag when the man told her to sit down. "You're Irina, right? The one who will start work tomorrow? Your photo will be used for identification, so tomorrow morning you can take it and wear it." The man said, honestly Irina was a little confused here. Wondering in her heart whether she had been accepted to work in this company? But somehow Irina's lips felt numb to ask again and finally chose to sit down. Click! One picture was successfully taken, a young woman with straight blonde hair who was still very beautiful at the age of twenty-six years old. Without anyone thinking that Irina was no longer a girl. "Okay, that's it! Now you can go to the room in the corner over there, just open the door and you will meet a woman who will take you to your desk and introduce you to some of the coworkers here. Again, something strange happened, but for some reason Irina just nodded and then left the room and headed to the room in the corner over there. Passing Mr. Darren's room where laughter was heard in there, which strangely there was a woman's voice besides Mr. Darren's voice. Check.. As soon as Irina entered the corner room directed by the man, Irina found a fairly large room. There were partitions on each desk like a normal office. There were many people who seemed to be busy there, Irina was silent when everyone paid attention to her after opening the door. However, a tall and sexy woman immediately approached Irina with a friendly smile. "Hi, you must be Irina, the new employee. I'm Deborah, I'm your boss and I'll explain your job while you're here!" Irina was surprised, the woman looked like an adult film actress rather than an office woman in general. Bright red lipstick, a work suit that looked too small to show off her beautiful curvy body. Complete with glasses perched on her sharp nose, and curly hair dyed bright red. Deborah introduced each of the employees there along with their respective positions, but Irina couldn't memorize them all because there were too many. Until they arrived at an empty desk right at the end of the room. But next to the glass and that made Irina a little relieved, because she didn't really like narrow and closed places. "This is your desk, you can arrange it as you like as long as it's not too excessive!" "... and this is, your jobdesk! You will get daily data from Lucy, who is in front there. After that you can process the data and then send it to me!" "... there are certain times to send reports, and I don't like delays. There are additional weekly and monthly reports, and it might make you work overtime until night." Deborah explained at length, Irina understood very well what the woman explained. As simple as this, working in a financial services company? I don't know, this is Irina's first job. It's not easy to find a job with a good position like this and Irina is grateful that she doesn't have to compete to get this job. "Okay, you start work tomorrow, right? You can go back to Mr. Darren and sign your work contract." Deborah said then just went to a room behind Irina's desk. Which Irina guessed was Deborah's work room. Irina finally left the room, but there were cynical glances from several people who worked there to Irina. Like Lucy whose name Irina remembered because every day she had to ask for data from the woman. Knock... knock... knock... Irina opened the door to Mr. Darren's room after a voice from inside told Irina to come in, it turned out to be true what she heard earlier. There was a woman wearing a formal suit who knew what her position was in this office, the woman looked friendly like Deborah but looked wild for an office woman, Irina thought. Is the fashion style of office women in this era really like this? Irina asked herself. The woman gave Irina an employment contract with the company to Irina, Irina wanted to read the contract first. But it seemed, the woman did not allow Irina to read it. "Can you speed up the signature? Mr. Darren and I have to go somewhere very important." The woman said. Irina who felt bad and did not want to miss this opportunity could only nod and sign the contract without thinking twice, while Mr. Darren and the woman looked at each other with a sneer. "Okay, Mrs. Irina. You can start working tomorrow because Deborah really needs the position immediately, I'm sorry if it has to be this fast! Tomorrow morning you can pick up your ID card and start working! Congratulations!" Mr. Darren stretched out his hand, Irina happily shook Mr. Darren's hand even though the man's hand and fingers felt cold on Irina's skin. No less cold than Mr. Darren, the woman's hand also felt cold like a living corpse that had no body temperature and blood flow. And what was even more surprising, the woman shook Irina's hand quite hard and long enough. Until it made Irina smile awkwardly while holding back the pain in her hand. Irina didn't know what to do, should she scream or pretend to be okay. After the woman let go of her hand, Irina was asked to leave and come back tomorrow morning to start her work. Such a strange interview, Irina thought. On the same day she got the job, but it seemed reasonable because Irina had no competition. Yes, it made sense because Deborah said she needed the position immediately. Irina came out of the office building after greeting the receptionist earlier. It was already noon and she needed lunch, right across the street there was a fast food restaurant. Because Irina's stomach was starting to rumble, Irina decided to have lunch there even though she was alone. Because she was used to being alone. After ordering and sitting down, Irina ate a burger and a glass of cola, not forgetting her fries. Today was quite short and it didn't take long for someone to get a job. After this she would tell her parents and say that she could support herself, getting a job at a relatively young age. And don't forget about the association, Irina really wanted to go there, hoping there was something that would make her life a little more colorful. Maybe looking for a new husband.. Heh! I don't know! Until now, Irina has not forgotten her ex-husband's affair with her. A lover, maybe yes. But married, it seems Irina is more comfortable living alone. Even though it meant growing old alone without anyone to accompany her. Daydreaming for too long, Irina's food had run out without realizing it. Irina looked around why there were only one or two customers in this restaurant even though it was right in the city center and across from the office. The taste of the food was quite delicious, did everyone bring food from home for lunch? If so, it would really bother Irina every morning. Irina wanted to stand up from her seat, but when she wanted to move her chair, the chair was blocked by the person sitting right behind her. Irina cursed in her heart, there were many empty chairs and tables there. But for some reason he chose to be behind Irina until Irina had difficulty standing. The person also didn't seem to apologize to Irina and was only busy with his food, Irina couldn't see his face for sure, because it was covered by the hood of the jacket that covered the back of his head. Irina took a deep breath, then left the restaurant. Heading to her vehicle which was still parked nicely in front of the office building that she would occupy tomorrow. Irina kept smiling remembering that, she then went towards her house which was quite far from the urban area. To be exact, the house given by Denis. Because she had to pass through that building again, Irina looked back there. There were many vehicles with the main door of the building tightly closed. It seemed that the discussion forum was quite interesting, as evidenced by everyone who always consistently went there every day. Irina was getting impatient to go there, she drove her vehicle back home. Entering the house, she took off her heels and bag, then lay down on the sofa to relieve her fatigue. It was getting late in the afternoon, Irina locked the door then went upstairs to her room to take a shower. Taking off all her clothes and entering the bathroom, the warm water poured over Irina's entire body, making her previously tired body relax again. After a long shower, Irina returned to the first floor to the kitchen to prepare dinner. But strangely, there was a burger complete with fries and soda on her dining table.
