My Mortal Enemy #143

Chapter 43: The Internship

DARA'S POV

"Tsk! Where is Bom?!" I looked at my watch to check the time and was shocked to see that we only have fifteen minutes before the interview starts. I'm already here at the lobby of SGOC building waiting for her and my stomach hasn't stopped from churning because of too much nervousness. I called her phone a million times and she's not picking up. Damn it. She's not ditching me is she?

"Dara! Dara!"

I heard a loud sound coming from the back screaming my name. I turned around and felt relieved when I saw the woman I so wanna strangle right now.

"Where were you Bom?! I've been waiting here for almost an hour I thought you already went to other companies and ditch me!" I hysterically yelled at her the moment she reached me. She was panting heavily as she clutched on her bag and a folder full of files.

"Ditch you? Why would I do that? I just woke up late and the traffic was so bad I almost got out of the car and walk all the way here." she explained while fixing herself. She looks like an executive already with what she's wearing and I looked like her assistant.

"Fine. Let's go now. We're going to be late." I said and hurriedly walked towards the elevator. I pushed the up button and thankfully, it's already on the ground floor we don't have to wait any longer. We went inside the moment we heard the 'ding' sound and immediately pressed the floor number to where the interview will be held. The elevator was about to close when Bom and I heard someone yelling for us to stop the door from closing.

"Wait! Wait! Wait!"

I abruptly extended my hand forward and used it to prevent the door from closing but my face became distorted when the door crashed my hand to be able to stopped it. A woman in her early twenties walked in and stared at me, maybe surprised with what I did.

"Thank you Miss." she said and bowed her head again.

"You're welcome." I answered back awkwardly as I massaged my aching hand. Bom looked at me worriedly but I just gave her a reassuring smile.

She pushed the very top floor of this high rise building before standing against the wall in front of us. The elevator started to go up and the three of us waited to reach our floors. Since its a long wait, my eyes can't help but wonder around this four corners. It's very high-tech, we can hear a voice talking whenever the door opens and closes. It's also well ventilated and very spacious that the probability of a claustrophobic person being suffocated in here is close to none. Maybe this is made for them. It's so cool. Kekekek.

After being amused by the amazing interiors, my eyes then landed on the lady in front of us. She's wearing an office attire and killer high heels just like the woman standing next to me. But what caught my attention more was her ID pinned on the lapel of her blazer. "Yuri..." I whispered her name to myself but unfortunately Bom heard me.

"What?" Bom asked as she looked at me confused. I saw the lady looked at us too bearing the same expression as Bom.

"Nothing." I simply answered and lowered my head to avoid the lady's stare. Seconds passed and I can still feel someone looking at me like she's drilling holes into my skull or something. I feel heat crawl up my cheeks because of embarrassment.

We heard the elevator's 'ding' sound again indicating that we already reached our floor. I immediately positioned myself ahead of Bom and stepped out as soon as the door opened, not daring to look back. I heaved a deep sigh, relieved when I heard the door finally closed.

"What's wrong with you?" I heard Bom asked while wearing her double confused look. "You're acting weird again Dara."

"Aisht! I said it was nothing."
