The time has passed really fast. The secretary of the Manager who's going to interview me has called Emily to inform me that he's waiting for me in his office.

I take a deep breath and sigh, waving at Emily as I stand up and fix my clothes.

"Valeria? What are those?!" Emily looks at me frustrated while pointing my shoes.

"Oh crap! I totally forgot to bring heels! What am I going to do now?!" I cover my mouth with my hands while I feel my stress levels rising again.

"You can't go to the Assistant Manager wearing your biker's boots!"

I see that Emily is now panicking and I look at her like a five year old who just did a mischief and his mom caught him in act!

"What am I going to do? He is waiting for me now!"

Emily starts walking all over the place trying to think.

"My shoes aren't going to fit you are they?" She looks at me skeptically.

"They didn't in the past, they won't now..." I look at her discouraged, pouting my lips.

"I am literally going to kill you girl! Don't ruin this opportunity, seriously!"

"I won't, I promise! I have to take the chance now. Besides he is a man, right? He won't even notice that I'm not wearing any heels!" I try to reassure Emily but it doesn't seem to be working.

"Ok, you need to go now. These kind of people don't like to wait!" She literally pushes me out of her office while I pretend that gravity is pulling me down on her.

"The earth, the earth is calling me! I can't... I can't move Em!"

"Stop bull shitting girl and move your ass right now!" I let a laugh come out to how furious Emily is. She really is taking it more seriously than I am.

"Ok, God! I'm going!"

"Office number five, floor fifty -eight!"

"Alright, I'll talk to you later then". I close the door behind me and start moving towards the elevator. I do not manage to go far before Emily comes rushing behind me.

"You must come to me afterwards no matter what the answer is; promise?"

"Yes, of course I will. You don't need to ask me twice!" I smile at Emily touched from her concern.

"Ok, go now! Good luck lover!" she makes the rock n roll sign with her fingers and inspects the place around her in order to see if anyone saw her rooting for me. I blow her a kiss and press the floor number.

I try to collect my thoughts and act naturally. I should have sent Angus in my place! He would totally do better than me in the interview! The floor numbers pass by fast and I find my self in front of a lobby -like area. This floor is so different from the other.

There is a huge conference room built completely out of glass with a big sing of Star corporation on the wall. There aren't any cubicles like there were on the floor Emily's working. There is a long hallway with doors appearing with a considerable distance between them. The place looks really expensive and clean. The only person I can see is the receptionist who happens to be a man.

I was pretty sure that the cliché would still keep going on, on this floor as well. The man is well dressed and seems to be really concentrated on what he is doing. He does not even notice me until I move up to him and clear my throat.
