My BACKBONE❤

Chapter 2: Room 203

After eight hours of duty, Muriel is now off to her next job...actually, partime job as baby sitter for two hours.
She borrowed some riyals from Jana, her co-worker, so she can pay for her ride going to her next destination. She then grab a cab as soon as she got off from the employees entrance/exit.

"To Beverly Hills 7." to her partime job..less than ten minutes drive from the hotel where she just left.

The driver nodded and drived off without a word.

She then took some wipes from her bag to remove her make up. Although it was very very light, its really not her thing. Only because her work requires thats why she had to learn putting-on make up.

"Which villa Ma'am?" The driver asked as they arrived outside the compound.

"It's okay, I'll walk from here." Then she handed ten riyals and got off the car pretty quick.

She entered the compound hazzle-free as the guard knows here already. The villa where she's going was just the second one to the right of the gate.

"Good afternoon Madam." greeting a woman who opened the door for her.

"Oh..good afternoon. You're just in time." sound of a relief from the woman.

"Where is Mitchell Madam?" referring to a three year old girl.

"She's taking her afternoon nap with Madeline in their room. I'll be going now. Please take care of them." taking her walk thru the door.

"Okay Madam. Don't worry. Take care too." reassuring the woman...the mother of the kids that she's taking care for two hours four times a week.

Time had gone fast. The kids father came from work, then Muriel got on her way home.

She grabbed a cup noodles from her little pantry and prepared it pouring hot water. While waiting, she scrolled on her phone to check for another possible partime job tomorrow. It's her day off as receptionist in hotel, but she doesn't want to stay home. She's always up for something to earn more because she need to save up even a little for the next few months after she finish her contract.

*URGENT! Partimer; willing to work under pressure. With good compensation. For interested, please show this post to QATAR GAS CORP. Receptionist at the lobby area.

She took a screenshot and smiled.

"Good morning. I am here for this.." showing the screenshot she took last night to the reception.

"Good morning too. Please sign-up here and have a sit." the receptionist then handling a log book to her while dialing a number on the phone.

She then took a chance to look at the beauty of this place while patiently waiting. The walls are field with lots of vibrant paintings which are paired with some indoor plants and some great interior designs around her.
It was not hard to find the job location according to the Ad. Qatar Gas Corp. is one of the leading companies in this country, plus it is located in the center of Doha where you can see a very diversed economic zone.

She was all mezmerized with those luxurious sight. But what she doesn't noticed was there were pair of eyes also at the same state, not for those reason....

.....but with the innocent beauty that she posses.

"Miss Rivas..?" calling her attention.

"Yes ma'am?.." she quickly responded.

"Here's your pass. Please go Mr. Solomon's office." handling her a piece of paper with some details on it.

*Room 203, 14th Floor, Bldg.B.
Look for Jen.

On her way to Mr. Solomon's office (as the receptionist mentioned), she's a bit nervous. This company is so huge that she feels too small. But she is hoping that she can get any job in here and somewhat a little dream came in her thoughts..to be a regular employee in such well known company that surely gives better, if not the best, compensation.

It sounded a bit odd, to aim for a job just because of money. But thats the reality and she is not a hypocrite.. Who could've blamed her? Being bread-winner is not easy at all.
But even tho it doesn't sounds good, one thing is for sure....she is putting her heart to every job and make sure that she deserves what she can get from it.

"Hi. I am..." before she could even finished what she was saying...

"Ms. Rivas? Come with me." said the woman sitting in the table outside the Room 203.

The woman looks sophisticated in her (she guessed) office uniform. It was a well-fitted blue skirt above the knee, paired with a white long sleeves atop with a black blazer. Her long black hair is firmly tied up in a ponytail.

She's pretty sure that she's not a lesbian or something...but woooh...! She's having a gurl crush on her.

She was behind the woman when they entered the door of Room 203 which has a name hanged on it "MEZO SOLOMON".

"Sir, Ms. Rivas is here." says the woman as they entered.

The so called "Sir" is on the phone facing the back if his chair on them. He just wave on what she said without even a glance.

"JEN", as Muriel finally noticed the woman's name tag, told her to be sitted and wait. Then she left the room.

Muriel feels anxious. The guy behind the chair sounded so firm while talking on the phone. He then faced her after ending the call.

"....." she unconsciously opened her mouth without a word. She was all in shock as she looks at this familiar face.

"Hello Ms. Rivas. Glad to see you again." greeting with all smile emphasizing her lastname, as if telling her to wake up coz they are at the office...no time for day dreaming.
