The next day Amber had an interview ,she had tried looking for jobs but to no avail since they all ask for a degree or a diploma in the field .
She never got to attend university and acquire a degree in her choise career which was medicine as all their money went to her mothers treatment.
She has been doing manual jobs for a living including her last job at a restarunt which paid quite well until she was fired one month ago .
.....
*one month ago *
"Amber the boss needs to see you " said Rose her work mate at the restarunt .
She knocked on the door, he let her in and and offered her a seat.
"So Amber I'll go straight to the point I heard your mother is very sick I'm offering you a deal so listen carefully. I have always thought of you to be an attractive woman and I want you to become my mistress and in return I'll finance your mothers treatment what do you say."
"What! sir no with all due respect I cannot become your mistress sir please ask for anything else but not that sir. "
"Then you're fired " her boss said to her in a nonchalant tone.
"What! sir please I need this job please." she got on her knees not wanting to loose the job as her mothers treatment depended on it.
"I gave you an offer you turned it down...the offer does not stand anymore I like my women submissive, If I say you do something you do it ...now get out you're fired."
Amber could not understand how heartless ,selfish and egoistic a man could get to even used her mothers condition against her.
She literally felt like the most unlucky person on earth considering all her misfortunes.
.....
*present*
That day she was applying for a caterer job for the Johnson's telecommunications company .
It was not the best job she would go for but it paid well and that's all that mattered.
"Mother I'm leaving now" she said arranging her documents in her sling bag.
"Ok darling I wish you all the best I know you'll get the job." her mother offered her what she called a heart warming smile enough to melt the soul.
"Thanks mom I have to run I can't afford to be late on my first day at work I need to make a good first impression."
"Ok darling now go and all the best."
Amber took a cub to the interview knowing very well she had overslept and taken even longer preparing herself.
"Sir how much longer till we get there. " "Thirty minutes miss, you are lucky there's no traffic today." said the cub driver.
"Ok I guess I'm lucky then maybe it's a sign I'll get the job." she said it more to herself than the driver.
She had only fifty minutes till the interview starts and hoped not to be late.
Thankfully she managed to get there in time thirty minutes later as the driver had stated.
She was surprised at the number of people that turned up.
'Wow with all this people it will be a miracle if I get this job' she thought out loud looking at the number of people that turned up.
Most of the applicants had their degrees and diplomas in catering or food and beverage related courses which she knew because they flaunted their documents all over the place.
She only had her previous job to show for since it was one of the best restaurants in the country and also her impeccable highschool grades which she hoped would put her at the top of the list.
"Amber armstrong "called the receptionist at the front desk of the interview room.
She stood up and got in the office obviously a nervous wreck which she hoped was not noticeable on her face and body language.
"Miss Amber have you worked as a caterer before " asked a judge whom she thought was scary looking with his hanging glasses.
"No ,but I've worked as a waitress at beufort restarunt sir."
Her interview went on for twenty more minutes and before she new it the interview was over .
All the applicants were asked to sit in the hall and wait for the list of successful five Applicants to be released .
Everyone was silence compared to how it was before the interview started .Having only five successful applicants made them worried considering they turned up in large numbers.
Twenty minutes later the results were released and fortunately she was among them .
"Thank you Jesus ." was all she could say before she went home to relay the news to her mother and preparing for her first day at work tommorow.
