A New Friend #38

Maya's POV:

"Hi Maya! Nice to meet you" Ms Chopra smiles,standing up to shake my hand. I shake her hand firmly, not to hard not to weak. "Please..take a seat" she smiled pointing to the seat in front of her. Ms Chopra was a gorgeous looking lady. Her flawless tanned skin matched her lovely makeup and her red lip with her long wavy brown hair brought to the side. "So you have applied for this job as an editor for 'Bella Magazine'...why?" she states, looking down at my resume and placing her glasses on. "Ms Chopra, I have a very strong passion in writing articles and I am willing to take on this job as an editor". She nods her head in approval, as if asking me to keep on going. "On your website, you had stated that you needed someone who is willing to write articles and research when needed and I know that I am applicable in those aspects and I can assure you that I will achieve what is needed in time" I say, suddenly having a surge of confidence. Ms Chopra looks up from her paper work of what seems like my resume and my portfolio. "I see..so in your resume, you state that you blog? What do you blog about?" she asks, moving her gaze back to the papers in front of her. "I blog on a website called 'Trinity'. It's a Australian organisation that promotes self-confidence and the building of self esteem to girls all around the world. My blogging account has two thousand fans who support me and I always promise them to update twice a week. Every time I have a chance to travel overseas, I always capture photos of things that I feel give off a good vibe and post it on my blog with a message that impacts me as an individual everyday. I am always willing to deliver positive messages and raise the self-esteem of my fans who support each and everyone." I explain. Jeez, well..that was something you didn't know about me! I blog! "Hmm..well Maya, your ability to blog may come in handy for this job" Ms Chopra says, her face as serious as ever. She places her paper work down and looks at me. "So Maya, in what way are you willing to impact our company?" Ms Chopra asks. "Being that 90% of the readers of 'Bella Magazine' are girls..." I state. She seems shocked with my fact but quickly hides it. "I am willing to spread awareness for girl's all around the world". "By awareness.. What do you mean?" she asks. "I want to show girls their inner beauty and how they can embrace how they look like and how to conquer self-consciousness" I state, hiding my nerves. "What would you be willing to change about our magazine?" Ms Chopra states, with her hands intertwined together. "Uh..um, we could have a section of the magazine where readers of 'Bella Magazine' can anonymously tell us their problem that they are either too embarrassed to tell someone or just can't find the right person to tell through an email and we would reply their emails in the next magazine." I answer, stuttering a bit. "Hmm..Maya you do realize that 'Bella Magazine' is a reality womans' magazine right?" Ms Chopra asks, lifting her eyebrows. "Gosh Pri, don't be like that! I think that that is a perfect segment for our magazine" suddenly someone interrupts us at the door. We both turn around to see her. There stood a rather tall, beautiful looking woman with long wavy hair and folders clutched to her chest, with a genuine smile of her face. "Meera!...You gotta stop interrupting my interviews.." Ms Chopra sighs, running a hand through her hair. Meera? It was that girl that I had talked to earlier. She makes her way over to Ms Chopra's desk and places her folders on it. "Maya right?" she smiles, sticking her hand out. "Uh..yeh!" I smile back. Meera had a gorgeous smile. "Maya..this is my sister Meera" Ms Chopra sighs, hiding a small smile. "Nice to meet both of you!" I beam. They were honestly such cute siblings. "Same to you!" Meera smiles, looking down at Ms Chopra. "Sisters company?" I ask. "Well yes! Meera is the ambassador of this company and I am the director of this company" Ms Chopra says, teasingly poking her sisters side. Ms Chopra actually had a softer side and I liked that. "Ok now..Meera please leave! I need to finish this interview with Maya" she says, playfully shooing her out. "Oh! right! Um..by the way Maya, that idea you suggested before, we will take that into consideration" Meera smiles and walks out.

"So sorry about that Maya! But that's all for our interview! I'll be sure to get back to you if you get this job or not" Ms Chopra stands up from her seat and shakes my hand once again. "Thank you so much Ms Chopra for this opportunity" I say as I shake her hand. "Oh by the way Ms Chopra, how do I address your sister as?" I ask. "Please...call her Meera I don't think she wants people to be confused with another Ms Chopra" Ms Chopra chuckles and walks over to the door to open it for me. I thank them once again and walk out of the building.

I step outside and the sky is dark, only a few lamp posts lighting up the area. I turn on my phone to check the time. 8:30 it read. I better get home before Mum think I died or something. I think today's interview was a success! I just hope that I get the job.

DONE! Two chapters in one day! By the way, if you are confused, the girl in the previous chapter that Maya talks to on the phone is 'Katrina' right? Well her name is Meera now! I'll be sure to change it :) Thank you!
