New York

Kate, you've reached the end of the road. I'm on my way to New York! After several hours of driving, I got out of my car and walked around. I discovered a rental apartment in the vicinity of Collins Designs. I made the decision to apply there. I was able to see their designs. They were intricate and absolutely stunning. I dialed the company's phone number and requested an appointment.

After a couple of days...

Collins Designs is where I am right now. I'm hoping to be hired for the position. "Excuse me, uh...I have an appointment with Mr. Collins," I explained to the receptionist as I walked into the building's lobby.

"Take the elevator to the fifth floor, and someone will accompany you."

"Thank you very much."

I followed the instructions given to me. I was now completely taken aback. I saw some absolutely stunning dresses and gowns. It's as if I'm in a different world. I was jolted out of my reverie when someone cleared her throat in my direction.

Hello, my name is Carla, and I believe you've arrived for the interview," she said softly. "Hi there, my name is Carla, and I believe you've arrived for the interview."

"Ah yes, my name is Kate Jones," I said when I introduced myself.

"This way, Ms. Jones," she directed me and guided me through the process.

"I hope you get the job! Oh, and be careful because he's a little strict and bossy. Good luck!" she exclaimed enthusiastically.

That's all there is to it. Kate, please take it easy. I knocked on the door and waited for the appropriate response.

"Come in," a voice from the other side of the room called out.

I walked into the house with caution and closed the door slowly. I took a few steps around the building before approaching the boss. Oh my goodness! He's unbelievably hot and handsome! When I realized he was staring at me, I shifted my gaze slightly away. I took a few steps closer and swallowed to clear my throat.

When I handed him my resume, I said, "Excuse me, my name is Kate Andrea Jones, and I'm applying for a job as a designer." "Excuse me," I said softly.

"Ah yes," he said after taking a look at my resume.

I sat down and waited for him to finish reading before continuing.

Then he said, "Okay, you're hired. I expect you to do a good job, Ms. Jones. Don't be too hard on me, though, because I'm not perfect. I don't like flaws."

Oh my goodness, Carla is correct. He's a bit of a stickler for rules. But I'm prepared for whatever comes my way.

"Yes, sir, I will not let you down," I said, a little nervous.

'You'll begin the following day, Ms. Jones,' he said.

I then walked out of his office without saying anything.

Someone in the background cleared her throat. And I couldn't help but smile.

"How's it going?" Carla inquired.

I squinted a little and noticed that she was frowning as well. I gave her a quick smile and looked her in the eyes. "You did get the job, didn't you?" she inquired, looking at me with a puzzled expression.

"Yes, I did!!!" We both jumped up and down with delight.

Someone behind us cleared their throat, and we were forced to turn around.

"Get back to work, Carla," Mr. Collins demanded emphatically. He then turned to face me.

Then he said in a serious tone, "Ms. Jones, you may leave now and prepare for work tomorrow; I'll be expecting you at eight o'clock."

I simply nodded and walked away.

Following my meeting with Mr. Collins, I went to the nearest café to purchase my favorite treat. A vanilla macchiato and a blueberry muffin are on the menu. As soon as I walked into the café, I could smell the aroma of freshly ground coffee beans. I walked up to the counter, a smile on my face.

"Can you tell me what you'd like to order, Miss?" the lady inquired.

"I'd like a cup of vanilla macchiato and a blueberry muffin, please," I said to the waitress.

As the lady handed me my change, I waited for my order to arrive.

"Here you go, miss," the lady said as she handed over the package. I just smiled and thanked her for her time.

I took a seat near the window and set my belongings down there as well. As I sipped my drink, I tried to imagine what my day would be like the next day. Will Mr. Collins like the designs I've created? Will he fire me if I make a mistake?

Kate, please stop thinking in such a negative way. Positive thoughts should be entertained. He'll like the designs I've created.

He'll be pleased with them.

As soon as I finished my meal, I headed to the store to pick up some sketch pads and colored pencils for myself.

I returned home at approximately 4 p.m. As soon as I was finished with my shower, I got to work cooking. I made my favorite carbonara and steak for dinner. When I was 12 years old, I learned how to make my grandmother's recipe. She provided me with a great deal of knowledge. I'd already begun to miss her.

I finished my meal and washed the dishes after I was done. I jumped onto my bed and logged into my computer.

When I opened F******k, there was a picture of Troy and Isabel on a road trip together. I despise them to my core.

Zara: Hey! How's New York?

Me: I haven't looked around. But i got a job at Collins Design.

Zara: omg!! That's awesome!!

Me: How bout u?

Zara: I got a job at Holls Enterprise. I'm starting tomorrow. our boss is creepy and bossy…

Me: my boss too...GOSH...he's also mouthwatering handsome…

Zara: Try not to fall in love…

Me: i wont..you know me...after Troy...I'm allergic to love already…

Zara: ok good luck! gotta go!

Me: bye!

After our brief conversation, I went ahead and prepared for tomorrow. Tomorrow will be a completely different story. Collins Designs will employ me as one of their fashion designers.
