4. Interview

The only hope is that she never meets that person again; if she did, maybe she doesn’t know what she will do.

***

Next morning,

Amelia felt that she was quite refreshed and peaceful.

When she saw the time, it was seven in the morning.

She felt it was quite early, but she also knew she couldn’t sleep again; after taking a shower without drying her hair, she just laid on the chair on the balcony to dry naturally.

She enjoyed the leisure time she was getting and also clicking some selfies and pictures of nature.

She came from because she doesn’t have this type of luxury free time to sit or enjoy because of her position, so she is always quite envious of the way others live. Now when she gets a chance, why shouldn’t she take the chance and fulfill her dreams.

They aren’t her wishes but dreams.

In this one sentence, anyone can understand that ordinary life was luxurious in the past, and that became a dream which she wanted to fulfill; now they were slowly fulfilling, she felt that she should just take advantage of the time.

Amelia started to get ready after sitting for nearly an hour; she just chooses simple classic black and white formals.

She looked like a professional white-collar worker with a white silk shirt, black trousers, and black blazer with seven-inch black heels.

She was never fond of make-up, but she would do it occasionally, so today, she thought of simple makeup by drawing simple eyeliner and then finished with matte red lipstick, which she fell in love with.

Then she also has her unique touch, which is single-threaded dangling earrings and simple thin-lined chain and a small stud pendant as a necklace.

When Amelia looked at herself in the mirror, she felt different in herself; even though she is the same, even her look is the same, but there seems to be something changed.

The gaze, which was either dull without emotions or just expressionless, now has the brightness and the free spirit.

At first, Amelia felt surprised, then her eyes burned with tears, but she didn’t let them flow down.

She felt that she met the real Amelia, free from everything with bright and clear eyes.

When she was a child, she was like a free bird without the worries of the world. Still, when she grew up, she was responsible for many things, as the many responsibilities became a burden on her which she had to carry. As time went by, she also lost many of her hobbies and practices, so her cheerful self also lost.

But now she can regain her old self; Amelia felt naturally happy.

It was already eight when she got ready, so she ordered room service and had a simple breakfast; after brushing her teeth and reapplying the lipstick, Amelia hired the taxi.

She was going for an interview in Zandar Corporation, which isn’t near but at least took some twenty to thirty minutes away from her stay.

She estimated that with all the traffic, she would at least reach half-past nine.

She was relaxed, not like that person nervous about the job, maybe because she is confident about herself or never really cared about the job.

When she reached the venue of the interview, it was nine over forty-five.

She felt that she wasn't early nor late.

After paying the fare, she climbed down from the taxi; when she looked at the venue, she couldn’t help but be stunned because the Zandan Corporation is really tall and mighty.

She has already researched the company, and its CEO knows everything he should know about the company; if she wanted, she could search through more but didn’t feel necessary, so she just looked at normal things.

When she entered the company, she directly walked towards the reception.

“Hello,” Amelia, with her professional smile, called out to the receptionist, who was immersed in her work.

When Amelia called her, she was actually startled, but when she saw in front of her was a girl, a very beautiful and stunning beauty in simple but formal attire.

When Amelia saw the receptionists staring at her unblinkingly, she felt a little uncomfortable.

“Hello, Hello” Amelia made a gesture in front of the receptionist.

“Sorry Ma’am, Hello, Good Morning, Welcome to Zandar Corporation, tell me how can I help you?”  When the receptionist saw Amelia, she felt appreciation, not only because Amelia was dressed professionally and conservatively, but also because she felt that the girl in front of her had one kind of aura that made her differ from others.

She guessed this lady is also here for an interview, as today three to four interviews are going on, and she is also an experienced person, who has seen many things, and today is also one of those days.

She has seen many types of women, and today she can guess that many women are here to get close to their boss or want to find someone in the higher-ups. As both are the same, she has seen many women without any strength come here to chance upon their boss.

This lady in front of her had a different kind of temperament and a little bit of kindness; her face also eased slightly;  she was irritated by women she had dealt with today who came for an interview.

“Yeah, I am Amelia Hamstring; I am here for an interview” Amelia also felt that the lady in front of her is good-natured, so she also politely talked.

“Interview? Actually, today we have nearly four interviews at the same time for different positions. Can you tell me from whom you got the call?” The receptionist asked because today there are many interviews in different departments.

This is why today has been extremely busy; above that, she has to face many odd people.

“Oh.. okay, I got a call from Andrea Anthony for the secretary position,” Amelia answered with the same polite smile.

“Oh…” the receptionist’s face lit up with a strange glint.

Amelia saw that change also, but she doesn’t know the reason, so she didn’t think further.

“Okay, you can go to floor number thirty-eight, there will be an interview held for the position of secretary. You can directly go there, and all the best for your interview. I hope you get the job.” The receptionist was so enthusiastic that Amelia had to take another look into this person.

“Thank you; I got it.” After saying this, she walked towards the elevator, her eyes involuntarily went towards another elevator, which was in a golden color implemented looking different, and also had a nameplate, which states ‘private.’

Amelia didn’t think much but entered the public elevator and pressed the thirty-eight number. When she looked at her mobile, she was only ten minutes away from her scheduled interview time.

She was in a hurry, but she was still calm as always because there weren’t many people in the elevator, so it went fast. In five minutes, Amelia was on the thirty-eight floor.

Just as she walked outside the elevator, she was stunned. Even a calm person couldn’t hold back the little gasp from her mouth.

In front of her, many young ladies are sitting on the chairs; what made Amelia stunned was the colorful dresses; she felt that they didn’t come here for an interview rather some fashion show.

 She looked down at her dress; her dress was compared to the colorful and revealing dresses; her clothing is formal and conservative.

She regretted,

Regretted that she agreed to the interview.

Why the hell did she agree to come here? She thought about this company, now seeing the people here for the interview she felt that she really doesn’t understand what type of big company.

Sigh,

Now I have to attend the interview.

She walked and sat down on the chair, one seat away from the last person sitting before her.

Her coming didn’t attract anyone’s attention because some of them were redoing their make-up, some were just looking at their mobile, and some just have at least decently dressed and looking serious.

Amelia felt that some are really interested in working, then she isn’t alone here who is here for a real interview.

As she was sitting, she also heard some whispers,

The person ahead of her talked on the phone; she almost jumped up and down on the chair.

“Ahh, I can finally see my love; maybe I will be able even to get closer to him; I will definitely be able to get a job here as his secretary.”

“.....”

“Hmm, what? She is also here; why is she here? Is she here to grab my post, huh? I will definitely not leave her to take my position; I am the one who should be his secretary, the person closest to him.”

“.....”

“Okay, don’t need to tell me more, that Miss over the moon will never be able to compete with me; after all, no matter, I will be the one who is going to be his secretary, by any means.”
