the sound of my phone ringing disrupted my thought, "Grace" it called , she was my only friend and colleague

"hi Gracy" I said

"whats up,"

I heavily sighed before answering her"am not coming" I sadly added

"are you serious" she yelled

"G...."

"no sam" she snapped, cutting me off

"you cant possibly give up your 3year old job just for a fucking sister"

I knew she was right but I was done with Jake

"yes, but I cant pretend as if nothing happened, I cant stand the fact that my boss is using my sister" I added angrily

"but its her life sam, I understa....

"no you dont"I snapped angrily " you dont Grace, its not going to be easy for me, to watch my younger sis, walk into my office, stroll pass me and move into Jakes,knowing fully that they are going to do crap" I painfully said

"you dont deserve this Sam, "she calmly said

"you dont deserve this crap, if there is anyone who deserves this ,it should be Jake and your bitchy sister claire, this job pays your bill, such job does not come by too easily" she said thoughtful

"I know, but my decision is irrevocal, besides am on my way to any interview"

"really" she snapped excitedly

"yes , wish me luck"

"good luck, she said

'thanks"

"remember to call jake in case you change your mind, you know he will always take you back"

"I will, I will keep you posted, thanks"

"you are welcome "she cheerfully said

'see you later" I said and switched off my phone, Grace was right, my sister didn't deserve me,but my decision was unbending, my mind was made up.

it was 7:50, when I arrived at THE PEPPLES CORP,I said a silent prayer as I walked in, the building was massive, tall and well designed, I gasped as I walked into the reception area, it was beautiful,10 times bigger than my whole apartment ,there were beautiful potraits and fine works of art on the wall, at the extreme corner of the wall,hung the governors and presidents portrait, the building was fabulous

I walked to the receptionist, she was a dark lady and she was short "good morning" I lighty said "morning 'she cheerfully said, raising her eyes from her computer, she was beautiful 'what can I do for you" she warmly added and I felt relieved at least someone was smiling at me, "I am Samantha Peters , I recieved a mail to come for an interview "

"ok, just give me a sec" she said smiling

"ok"I said and nodded, I stared at the large portrait on the wall as she returned back to her computer , the portrait was expensively designed ,in it was a very handsome man, he looked like a model in the grey suit he wore,he was .....

"ok miss samantha peters" I shivered a little as the receptionist voice broke into my reverie

"what? "I snapped and forced a smile

"I just called mr Macpepple and he wants you to come in ,now"

"oh,thanks"I said smiling, I hoped she didn't see the shock in my eyes

"thats the elevator" she said pointing to the elevator, my eyes followed her small finger "the 20th floor is his office, good luck"

"thanks, am most grateful"I said cheerfully
