See who?

I received the alert before I got home, when I got home, I added some more money from my savings and gave them to my landlady at least, she won't be bothering me for a while. I was thinking about what other part-time jobs I could do since I really needed the money but then, my phone began to ring.

"Hello"?

"Hello, am I speaking with Miss Zara Michelson"?

"Uhm... Yes, this is she".

"I would like to invite you for an interview that will be held tomorrow afternoon".

As soon as I heard the word interview, I jumped up as though that would help me hear him better.

"I'm sorry, what"?

"You submitted your CV a few months back, you have passed the preliminary stage and all you need to do is pass the interview".

I remember submitting my CV to so many brand companies and I didn't remember which one this was but I didn't care, I had an interview to attend. After the conversation on the phone, I rushed into my room to look for what to wear. Before we ended the call, he mentioned the name of the company and I began doing all my research. This was BSM group, a conglomerate owned by one of the top three richest people in the whole of City F with different streams of businesses and I just got a chance to interview for the position of secretary in their Telecom company. I definitely needed to look my best.

The day-to-day interview began to approach me gradually but it felt like it was so slow as I really wanted to start working as soon as possible. Finally, the main day arrived, and I made sure I took everything I felt I would be needing.

"My pass, I'd be damned if I forget you again".

I got to the venue pretty early and was given a number. There were so many candidates for the interview but it didn't take me time to finish since I was there on time. The interviewers said they would get in touch and I went back home, hoping I'd get the job. When I got home, I noticed my door wasn't locked anymore but it didn't look like the lock was tampered with. I entered quietly, took a bat stick that was always by the door, and began tiptoeing. When I entered, I heard someone singing from the kitchen which made me drop the bat stick I was holding, rest assured that I wasn't in any danger as it was just my best friend.

"What are you doing here"?

"Hey!! My buddy is back!"

She opened her arms so wide in jubilation. I didn't hug her, I just used one of my fingers to push her forehead backward as though trying to bring her back to her senses, and then I passed to get something to drink from the fridge.

"Auch".

She said and touched her forehead making me turn.

"Stop being such a baby".

She smiled and came to hug me from behind.

"So tell me, how was the interview huh"?

I could help but smile as she tried to act cute.

"Look, if you want to act as my boyfriend, try to grow taller".

She left me and put on a disappointed face and I busted into laughter.

"Ha ha ha, very funny... I even came here to cook for you, worried you'd have too much of a stressful day and I know you'll be off to your part-time job very soon".

She pretended to be angry and went back to her cooking. I went to her and hugged her from behind.

"Awwwn my baby, what did you cook"?

"Hot pot".

I immediately left her and hit the back of her head making her scream "Ahh!"

"Are you dumb? Why would you give me hotpot? It's not like I already got the job".

"And whoever told you that hot pot was only meant for celebration? I'm giving you hot pot as a form of support so just shut up and go sit".
