The interview would take place in a meeting room. There was a big squared table at the center with a file in front of each seat. Since there wasn’t no names identifying seats, I picked a chair near the window as the other candidates were getting to their seats. We would be interviewed by the CEO himself and three department directors, the ones needing employees. The positions at stake were management assistant, Marketing Coordinator, Sales assistant, financial advisor and engineering consultant. They would put the people that applied for the same position in a group so they could analyze who had the better profile to do the job. So, the interview with this group would be about the management assistant, the position I applied for. The worst thing ever is when people with great backgrounds get to talk first. The CEO, Dylan Montgomery, was sitting at one end of the table and instead of listening to candidates while they talked about their experience, he would just look out the win

I felt numb. Everyone around us were excited to hear me saying yes. I was doomed, for sure. My life ended from this moment on.

I’l

On the wedding day, things went very wrong from the start. His mother was an arrogant person trying to diminishing me regarding my origins. Because that scene at Saint Mary Hotel was all on the news, media started digging into my life and spreading all kinds of stories. “I don’t understand how my son, a successful man, would marry an unknown woman. He had always been with actresses, singers and models. Women who had a name.” She said as Mrs Marble helped me get into the dress. Mrs Marble shook her head slightly as she looked at me. Maybe my face reflected how bloodthirsty I was. I kept my mouth shut in order to end this conversation faster but the shitty lady wouldn’t allow. “Sorry, but I just can stay here watching my son as he destroy his life, his reputation” she said, sitting comfortably on the armchair in my room, not moving a finger. “It’s not personal, I hope you understand what my worries are, I need to get him out of this” “Please, do it, Mrs Montgomery.
