I almost forgot about my job interview. I partied nonstop and never had the chance to prepare. After putting my most tailored suit and my highest heels, I entered the room where a panel of 5 grilled my knowledge and dissected every inch of my IQ to test my suitability for their company.
From the first 15 minutes, I knew that I messed up. Lack of preparation with no sleep ruined my chances of my employment but this time rejection had no place in my life.
To the old Emily, rejection is similar to drinking water. Always rejected, most unwanted and seldom acknowleged was her normal scenario. That person is gone. The new me, Emily in the form of Vivi will not accept defeat in any form.
I waited at the parking lot and followed one of the members of the panel. From the moment I entered the room that morning, I knew the exact thing on his mind. Our eyes met as he was about to ride his car. I smiled, he smiled. It was understood that in order for me to work in there, I must sleep with him. And I did. His name was Carlos and he was the niece of a senior officer giving him enough influence to manipulate the other 4 members to give me that I job.
We had sex while he was still wearing his wedding ring. I bet he was doing it all the time. After we finished, he promised me that I could start working the following week and he would like to keep in touch because he enjoyed our time together. I smiled and put my clothes on.
Laying on my own bed, all by myself back at my place, I knew what I did was wrong but I needed that job because i lost all my savings to my ex who stole everything from me.
I needed to survive and I did what I had to do.
