Nora's pov

"My name is Nora the explorer... Although I used to be a funny, bubbly, and outgoing guy, never caring about anyone. My dad was the earning member, providing us with everything we wanted, so I never felt the need to earn. I just graduated and was busy with my small home bakery, which I ran my whole life. But one day, he met with an accident... He's, of course, safe, but now he can't walk or do physical things properly, so he had to lose his job. My mom decided to work, but I told her not to as I don't want my innocent mom to face the harsh world.

Today's my interview, and honestly, I am very scared because I have already rejected all the jobs. Honestly speaking, some of the bosses were perverts even at the first meet, so I decided not to work. Some of them wanted me to work in another country, and I can't leave my father and momma. Of course, I don't live with them as they live in my hometown four hours away from here, but they need me not 24/7, but at least once a week or in emergencies I should be here to help them out.

This company is one of the best companies and the best servicing company in the whole Bangkok. After applying so many times, getting rejected only in the first round, and acquiring all the skills, I finally got the chance to clear the first round, and today's my last and second round, and I'm very nervous.

But I am confident too because before this, I gained all the skills and even did internships to come here. I want to get into this company because the salary is huge and many factors are in my favor. They don't have formals, flexible hours, and moreover, weekend leave including Saturday... Oh gosh, that's just a dream thing for me.

As I went inside, I wiped my sweat, and the lady, meaning the Manager, took me inside a room where the chair was turned to another side.

"Here he is," the lady said, and the girl signaled to go away with her hands.

"Good morning, ma'am," as soon as I said that, I regretted it as the guy turned out to be a boy, not a girl.

"I-i-i mean sorry, good morning, sir," I said, and he looked kinda serious and pissed though... He signaled me to sit, so I did sit down and asked for my resume.

"Introduce yourself," he said, and I started with a small intro, and his brows frowned as he looked at me and my resume at the same time.

"You are almost 30, and you are telling me you don't have any working experience, just a 3 months internship?" He asked, looking at me weirdly, and I nodded.

"And why is that? Were you doing something big for the nation or any personal reasons?" He asked using a sarcastic tone, which I actually didn't like.

"Actually, I was doing a home bakery job in my hometown, and my dad always took care of me, so I never thought of doing any job... But then, dad got sick, and now I need to earn to take care of our family," I honestly said.

"You can leave as we don't need someone who just wants to earn money. Are you really serious? You want to earn because of your family, and we ain't an NGO. Ok, so you can leave," he said, pointing towards the gate.

"I understand your perspective, but my motivation to earn is to support my family while also contributing meaningfully to the organization's goals. I've worked hard, faced numerous rejections, and after putting in so much effort, I finally cleared the first round. I believe my skills, dedication, and perseverance would be valuable to this company... I think you should give me a chance, sir," I said, trying to be calm, but he just rolled his eyes...

"You can just leave, I said," he said.

"S-sir,"

"I said fucking leave, you stupid," he yelled, and I felt like crying because no one has ever talked to me like this...

Finally, with a heavy heart, I was going inside the lift when suddenly a few guards held my hands gently, and smiling, they pointed at the board.

"ONLY FOR DIRECTORS."

"Sir, it's only for directors, please can you go inside another one?" a guy said, and a tall pretty lady dressed up elegantly stood up.

"No one is here... Let him in," she said, and the bodyguards shook their heads.

"I'm sorry, but we can't," the cute security guard told the lady, and she looked at me apologizing.

I mean, their boss is so mean, but look at them, they are so good...

"Can I ask who you are? I mean, I think I have seen you somewhere?" I asked, holding up my courage when a bodyguard spoke.

"She's the owner of this company," he said, and I frowned.

"But I just met the owner in the interview?" I asked.

"Oh yeah, he's my brother, he just manages it for now, soon to be the owner."

"Oh gosh, you look so young and beautiful," I said, and she smiled.

"Thanks... Let's meet again sometime... Bye," she said, but didn't actually tell me why her face is familiar...

I didn't say anything, and just as I walked out of the elevator, she also walked out with her bodyguards and smiled at me and walked away. I saw many people were there interviewing her, and I was feeling sad, so I sat down under a tree and began to cry...

I never did any hard work and was always dependent on my dad, so that's why it keeps getting tough. We had a house and a few lands here in Bangkok, but for father's surgery, we sold them at cheaper rates as he didn't have any insurance... I wish we had... No one supported us, and now we are just living on my dad's savings. Although he's fine and won't complain, I want to provide them everything they did to me...

"What happened? Why are you crying?" A lady of my age stood up offering me a handkerchief, and I began to cry more...

"This company owner, that bastard rejected me just because said I'm doing my job for money," I said, and she chuckled.

"Which one, the lady or the guy?"

"The lady is so sweet, that guy, by the way, how do you know that?" I asked, wiping my tears.

"I just know, anyways don't cry, apply for any other job. Everything will be ok," she said, I nodded.

"Yes, sister,"

"Sister? Although I look young, but I'm old, I'm 60+, call me granny or aunt," she said, fixing her hair.

"You indeed look 60, but even I'm 35, so basically you are just like my older sister, not granny," I said, and she just rolled her eyes and shoved a mini cupcake in my mouth...

"Ok, grandpa..." Saying that she was walking towards a big building when I suddenly saw a guy from the opposite side holding something, at first, I thought it was just some toy, but then I realized it was a gun...

As I rushed, I was confused about what to do, all I did was to cover her because I can only do this to save her and suddenly something hit my back shoulder two times and then everything went blank...
