Jimmy started to scream, "Jia!. Jia! I ..!

"What! Jimmy!!" Jia replied.

Jia rushed to see him, but the door was stuck.

"Are you doing some kind of prank or something? Babe? My heart is throbbing, Open the door, come on!" Jia asked in a shaky voice.

(JIA!!! JIA!! I! Ugh! No! Not pranking. ugh!)

"Honey, I am trying to open the door! It seems to be locked. Hang in there, ok?"

She grabbed the room key. Jia ran to unlock the door, but it didn't help. Well, nothing helped.

" Honey, Do you hear me? Please reply! Honey?"

Jia used her full force to bang the door and quickly opened the door of the room.

Jia was shocked when she saw Jimmy lying on the ground and whimpering in pain. He pressed her chest and screamed.

Honey! Honey! DON'T LOSE YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS. PLEASE. Hold on!

(Jimmy groans)

Jia was panicking. She started crying in fear.

Jimmy told him to call an ambulance.

She hurriedly called an ambulance and gave Jimmy First aid treatment.

When nurses dragged Jimmy, Jia was also walking with them, holding Jimmy's hand.

Jia kept comforting Jimmy.

Jimmy begged Jia, " Darling! Honey! Please find my daughter and don't inform her about my illness. Please. I beg you! Please don't!

"Stop talking, I promise, I won't. "Jia replied.

Jia stopped as she is not allowed to go anymore.

Jia was trembling.

(Maria's Home)

Maria: My gal? There is a mail on your name.

Nora: Where? Let me see.

Maria: Here you go.

Nora: Maria!

Maria: What happened, girl? What's with the gloomy face?

Nora: Maria. Here you go.

Maria clears her throat and reads out loud,

"Hi, miss Nora. Thank you for applying for the assistant position at AMRON'S. After reviewing your application, we are excited to move forward with the interview process. We would like to schedule a formal INTERVIEW with Mr CRISTOPHER BALDWIN, [The CEO] at the AMRONS."

What the fuck, NORA!!!!! Congratulations GAL! I'm so happy for you! We gotta celebrate.

Nora: Stop being stupid. I have an interview tomorrow, and I have nothing to wear.

Maria: Chill, dude! I have got some of the expensive suits from my stepsisters upstairs. Come on, give it a try. You have got a beautiful figure. They will fit in for sure.

Nora: But wearing else's clothes?

Maria: Come on, man. You are paying the house rent already. It's ok!

Nora: Let's agree to disagree.

Maria: That's my gal.

Nora tries a yellow suit.

Maria: Nah! Doesn't look good.

Nora: Ugh!

Tries a red suit.

"Maria?" Nora asked.

Maria: Too sexy. Something else, maybe?

Nora tries a black suit.

Maria: You look like a waitress.

Nora: You're being too much.

Tries a Grey suit.

Maria: That's it.

Nora: Finally! You exhausted me in this process. I can't believe I got an interview in a multinational company.

Maria: Yeah, true. Tomorrow is your day. Gal. Did you inform David?

Nora: No!

Maria: You got the interview for him. Let him know.

Nora: Alright!

Nora took a deep breath and called David.

Nora: Hey! Hi, David!

David: Hello Nora. What's up? It's 1 in the morning.

Nora: Oh shit! I'm so sorry! I'll call later.

David: No! Tell me.

Nora: David, Thank you so much. I got a call from AMRONS.

David: What! Seriously? Congratulations LOVE. When is it?

(I'm so grateful that Cris agreed. Years of my service paid off)

Nora: It's at 10'o clock.

David: I'll pick you up.

Nora: But you don't even know my address.

David: Maria texted me already, be ready at 9. The distance is long.

Nora: Alright. (Nora said in a hushed tone)

David: Take care.

Nora: You too. Bye!

David: Bye.

"MARIA! YOU BITCH!" Nora shouted at Maria.

"No offence bitch, but I'll set you up with David soon."

"If I spare your life." Nora chased Maria.

It's 8 in the morning.

Nora woke up before time, got ready and rushes downstairs. She slowed down, she was startled to see Maria. Maria had a table full of breakfast ready. Maria just put the last dish in when Nora entered.

Maria: Come on, Man! Wtf? You are early. I planned so much more. Party poppers were there too.

Nora gave Maria a side hug and asked, "Party poppers?"

"Yeah! Party poppers!" Maria replied.

"Do you wish that I go to the interview with my hair stuffed in plastic?"

Maria nodded a no.

"That's my girl," Nora replied.

Maria: Come on. Dig in. David will be here anytime now.

Nora finishes eating breakfast. She then rushed outside.

David was waiting for her in a grey suit. Leaning in his car with a bouquet of gladiolus.

NORA'S POV

I don't believe Maria. What a lady she is!

Is that David? Yeah, I guess. My eyes have not been damaged yet. Thank god!

He looks good in that suit.

Wait! Who is that woman behind him?

Does she have a gun? Oh No! Is that...
