I stood in front of the one storey building glad I had 30 minutes to calm down. After one week of intense job hunting the girls finally agreed I couldn't get any job related to nursing since I was unqualified. Which explains my reason for sitting in my car in front of a newly created business wanting to interview for the post of a PA. When they saw my credentials they immediately requested I come in for an interview. Unlike last time I did my homework. I'll be working for Julian Mendes a forty something years old man happily married with three kids. His eldest child is thirteen so no chance of falling in love there. My phone alarm blows up and I knew it was time to finally swallow my nerves and step out off my safety net.
Closing the door gently I held my handbag which was slightly bigger than usual because it contained my file tighter. Glancing down at my suit pants and pink blouse I smile slightly. I looked very professional and that was a good start. I took quick but elegant steps through the glass door only one guard stood guard and he didn't even question me. I was startled to see so many cubes on the receptionist floor. Yes they were cubes in kwin enterprise but not on the ground floor where guest were entertained. I reminded myself that this was a new business and only has two floors so it was expected. I made my way towards the receptionist desk with a polite smile. "Good morning ma'am I'm here for the interview". "Really?!" Her eyes widens and I frowned wondering what caused her reaction but she gave it away. "I know an original chanel blouse when I see one and you're wearing one!" She gasps and I chuckled liking her spirit. "I'm not really working for the money" I stated honestly and she nods before Ringing someone. After hushed conversation she placed the phone down and smiles at me. "They are ready for you take the elevator it's the only floor" she winks. "The lady in the first cube there will lead you to the boss good luck" she adds. "Thanks" I murmured before following the instructions. I didn't miss the stares glued to my back maybe I should have worn something cheaper but I have a feeling my definition of cheap is no way near theirs.
"Are you Elizabeth Morgan?" "Yes I am" I replied to the lady who seemed to be waiting by the elevator for me. "Follow me" she sighs before turning to walk down the hall again cubes lined this floor and it seemed only two offices were present. The lady knocks on the door before pushing it open. "Sir Elizabeth Morgan is here for her interview" she says to the bald man behind the desk. This felt like an irony first I worked for a devilishly handsome man now this. "Thank you Mrs Penelope you're excused" he smiles, she nods giving me a small smile on her way out. "Ms Morgan please seat" he stands to gesture me down I found it weird he's my boss unless....... "I've heard so much about your father I'm extremely honored to have you working with us". "Does that mean......?" "Yes you got the job welcome to Mendes enterprise" he shakes my hand. "Thank you so much I'll try my best," "I don't doubt it. Stop by Mrs Penelope's desk and she'll brief you on the details". "Okay I will thanks again sir" I smiled before standing up and walking out. I got the job, I didn't have to seat home all day for the next six months.
"With that smile I assume you got the job" Penelope says as I approached her, "yes I did" I kept my voice neutral. "Okay here are the recent deals" she hands me a small folder, "you are expected to be here by 8:00 and you must place a cup of black coffee on Mr Mendes desk" she continues. She points to the coffee maker at the far corner and I nodded. "Your cube is the vacant one across Mr Mendes office". I remembered seeing an empty cube, "yes I understand," "good you can go" she waves off. Taking the folder I head to the elevator I waited till I was seated in my car to call Sarah.
"Baby guess what!" "You got the job" she giggles. "Yes I did," "well that calls for double celebration because Gera just found an ad for a primary school math teacher and she's hoping to check it out tomorrow". "Wow that's amazing I'm coming home now" "we'll order pizza and some alcohol while we wait" she hangs up before I could warn her I won't be able to drink with me starting work tomorrow and all. Chuckling to myself I drove out of the small parking space unto the busy road. There was no mistaken this area was busy so a traffic jam is most likely expected in the morning. Humming to a Justin Bieber song blasting through the radio I let my thoughts drifts to William for the first time in days. Next Saturday was valentine's day and his birthday has undoubtedly ruined the joy of that day for me. My heart aches knowing I won't be there to celebrate such an important day he turns thirty even if he looks twenty. After my drug incident I knew I had to get a grip of myself but I'm no where near fixed. I have had nightmares every night and I preferred to stay awake. Tonnes of coffee are pumped into my system every day to keep me energized and now that I'll be working I needed to sleep.
Just then like God was showing me a sign I spotted a chemist shop ahead. I parked in front of it my Ferrari drawing attention. The door was a pull out, "hello dear" an elderly lady smiles. I nodded at her the overwhelming smell of drugs made me nauseous. "Can I have some sleeping medications please?" "Do you have a doctor's note". Oh my! I forgot all about that. I didn't want to go to the hospital it would alert the girls. "No but I really need it I can't sleep" I gave her a desperate look and she sighs looking around before reaching under her counter. "Here" she hands me a transparent bottle with white pills in it, "take two before bed if you still have trouble sleeping see a doctor" she warns. "I will thank you so much" I dropped the bottle in my bag before handing her my card. She swipes it on her machine handing it back to me, "be careful dear only two pills understood?" "Yes ma'am". I got back into the car driving off.
