Chapter Five: Assistant

•Sabrina•

I woke up to a very aggressive alarm this morning. It was like the alarm was more serious than I was to get this job.

Not that I want to work at a fashion firm anyway, my dream is to be a lawyer and to work in a law firm. But I guess this can do, I mean half bread is better than none. I stood on my feet going into the bathroom, to have my bath.

I came out of the bathroom after twenty minutes, approximately. I strolled to the closet, opening the door grabbing a black suit jacket with a black pant trouser and a white button up.  I am going for an interview so, the thing is too look as formal as I can afford to be.

"Good morning madam" Bjorn greeted as I stepped out of my room.

"Sabrina" I corrected. "Good morning Bjorn" He hummed with a nod, as he led me downstairs.

"Breakfast is ready and Madam has called for you" He said as we walked towards the dinning area. Getting there, Aunt Mariah was sitting beside Uncle Kevin with different delicacies right in front of them.

She rose her head from her phone as her eyes met mine. "Sabrina!" She chirped. "Good morning, darling" She greeted with a smile as I approached.

"Good morning Auntie" I smiled at her as I took the empty seat at Uncle Kevin's left hand side. "Good morning Uncle" I greeted him, as he kissed my cheek.

"Good morning Sabrina" He responded. "You look so office like" He teased, nudging me lightly with his elbow making me chuckle.

Hearing what Uncle Kevin said, Aunt Mariah's eyes snapped up to look at me as her eyes travelled around my body, taking in my attire. "You look professional" She said, her eyes still scanning me. "You know you're going to work at a fashion firm not a law firm right?" She asked, finally taking her eyes off of me.

I nodded, adjusting my position on the chair. "Interview. I'm going for any interview" I corrected. "And I know I am going to a fashion firm and not a law one but it's an interview. I've got to make an impression on my dressing you know" I added, shrugging.

"Suit yourself" Aunt Mariah said, taking a spoonful of rice from the bowel in front of her.

Breakfast passed by fast, or should I say I ate really quick because I was supposed to be at the firm by nine am sharp and it's eight seventeen already. 

"I'd be on my way now" I stood on my feet, ready to leave for the interview.

"Who's gonna drop you off?" Uncle Kevin asked making me come to a halt.

I haven't even thought of how I'd get there.

That's so smart of you, Sabrina!

"I really haven't thought about that" I drawled, scratching my temple.

"Ah" A ghost smile appeared on his face. "Bjorn" He called out.

Bjorn came running out in a second.

"Yes sir" He bowed his head as he got into the dining area.

A lot of people money can control, I mused.

"Take Sabrina for her interview at Huang's" He ordered as Bjorn nodded, leading the way. I bid them goodbye before trailing behind Bjorn.

Hearing the Huang name or should I say surname because it's better still a surname than a name brought back a lot of memories. And when I say memories, I mean plenty of them, but im just gonna bury it.
