Chapter 2

"Gwen, " Mary called out nervously. She feels gloomy knowing her friend has so much potential, yet she seems to have become cynical about their dream.

They were both second coursers. Gwen is a Marketing graduate while she is from Accountancy. After five years of working on their respective industries they discovered that education is a more lucrative profession therefore they went back on campus and enrolled for additional units to qualify for licensure exam.

"I'm sorry Mary. I'm afraid you have to find someone else. I already have made plans with Nick. We'll be traveling for a couple of months. And then I'll rethink about my life plans when we come back."

"Are you sure?" Mary can't help but sigh. Hearing that her good friend is back together with her jerk on again off again boyfriend, she feels upset. "Yeah." Gwen replied. Then added, "Why don't you ask Ginnie? She's also still looking for a job." "Oh right, Ginnie. I sure will. But still sweetie, could you at least give it a try? For me? Please?"

"Are you really not giving up?" " No way!" Mary reacted. Gwen can't help to smile while shaking her head. This friend of hers is persistent in every sense of the word.

" Do me this favor, please?" Mary is determined to have her way but all she can hear from the other line is a complete dead air. "Hello? Gwen?"

"I'm still here." Gwyneth came out from her reverie. Mary sensed that there's a change in the latter's mood, so she probed "So, are you doing it?" "Do I have a choice?" Gwen snickered.

"Atta girl." Mary felt relieved. " I knew you will come around. By the way, I already have e-mailed them your CV. You just have to show up for the demo the day after tomorrow."

"You did what?!" Gwen is practically blaring. " Mary Contis! You've gone too far!"

"My, my. I suddenly remember that I have an errand to attend to. Got to go now, my girl. Buh-bye. I love you! And good luck on your demo."

"Mary! Hello? Ugh, I hate her guts."

Looking at her phone's dark screen, Gwyneth feels desperate. "Is she really my friend? Why do I feel like I've been used? Fine, there's no harm in trying anyway. But this shall be the last. If I still fail to get this job, then I guess I'll have to accept the fact that I'm not meant for any of this."

Little did she know that her life is about to do a full 180.
