Smoke

Chapter 1

Damn it damn it DAMN IT! I'm going to be late. Oh god, please don't make me late! I feel asif I'm about to cry if this bloody bus doesn't go any faster! I needed this job so bad. I'm broke. Ever since I broke up with Martin my life has been upside down. I used to have a car but I was in an accident and I couldn't afford the repairs so they had to scrap it. I'm a mess. I live in a block of flats on the edge of town. Not the greatest place in the world I must say. I managed to scrape together enough money to make myself look professional today, buying new work clothes. It was a grey blazier with a grey pencil skirt. It fitted me nicely. Thank God! And I felt confident in it.

Finally! How bloody long does it take to get to town? Never mind that now, I have to get to the top of that like 15 storey building in about 5 minutes. God this isn't going to go well. I ran across the road, barely missing an oncoming car which then beeped at me as it sped away. At this point I didn't even care. I needed to get there. I was not going to lose this opportunity. I needed this job.

As soon as I got into the building, I ran into the elevator which was packed. I hated packed elevators and I would usually just wait for the next one but I didn't have any time today. It seemed like forever had passed when I finally got to my floor. As soon as the doors opened I ran out. There was a reception and some fancy chairs and a coffee table near the massive windows. I wouldn't dare go over there, I'd be too scared I'd fall. I walked as calmly as I could muster over to the reception desk. The lady looked like she'd been expecting me.

"How may I help you?" She said calmly.

"Uhm, well I'm here for an interview." I said kinda rushed.

"Oh, aha, you must be Miss Elizabeth Smith?" She questioned.

"Yes, yes that's me." I smirked.

"Take a seat, an assistant will call you when Mr Cumberbatch is ready to see you."

I said thank you and sat down on the seat furthest away from the gigantic windows. I waited nervously trying not to think too much about the life changing event that would happen in a matter of minutes.

I was shattered from my thoughts by a really moody woman who came from Mr Cumberbatch's office.

"Elizabeth Smith?" She said with almost no energy what so ever.

I nodded and stood up. I was shaking like a leaf. I walked over to the office as slowly as I could without looking like a complete and utter retard.

I walked in and sat down. Not looking up at first. As soon as I looked up I saw what looked like a God sitting in front of me. I felt my face flush and instantly regretted my life choices.

"Good morning, Elizabeth."
