🎵'Wake up in the morning, feeling a bit bitchy'🎵

🎵'Grab my clothes, gotta dress, but I am still a mess'🎵

🎵'Before I leave, brush my teeth, with a bottle of sass'🎵

🎵'Cause when I leave his office, I am gonna give him stress'🎵

"Emara! We are gonna be late!" Ethan screams from behind the door, and I yell back, "Chill! Coming!" Idiot.

I turn off my music, grab my phone and rush down the stairs with all my certificates, degree, and resume, which my brother made at the last moment.

"All ready?" He asks me, and I nod my head confidently.

I am going to rock this interview!

Ethan pulls out his bike and we hop on, wearing our helmets for the ride to the kingdom of Dark Lord, where he presides with his Black army.

My brother is on a mission to make sure I attend this interview on time, and not mess things up with his man-crush Dakota Black.

Erhh! I hate how his faith in the King of Motherfuckers is more than his loyalty towards his Queen of Bitches.

It's infuriating my royal blood!

I whip out my wired earphones and continue listening to the song..

🎵'Don't stop, make it pop, I am gonna say something dumb'🎵

🎵'Tonight, Imma fight and I'll pretend that I am fine,'🎵

🎵'Tik tok, on the clock, but I am dying from inside'🎵

🎵'Oh-ooh, oh-ooh, whoa-oh'🎵

🎵'Oh-ooh, oh-ooh, whoa-oh'🎵

After wasting two hours of my life, we finally reach the city of lofty buildings and shattered dreams— Seattle.

By just one glance, you can know that rich vampires rule here, who suck the life out of common people and hide away from taxes like its sunlight.

Nostalgia hits me like a bad drink as we enter HighBars System Co building, which is basically a massive glass cube covered in blue-tinted windows, probably built from lawsuit money.

We walk past a center piece of giant robot in the lobby that is not fully assembled, but clearly in progress. Its torso and limbs are attached, but its face is still under beta testing.

I don't remember seeing this robot last time I was here, seems like it is being constructed recently.

Ethan looks at it in awe, like its the 8th wonder of the world. His jaw suddenly hits the floor as his gaze falls on the huge 3D holographic display, looking like a magic Robo show, and uploads a snap.
