Chocoholic... a healthy love story

Chapter 3

Isabella got back to the apartment and unlocked the door. She put her bag on the table and took out her phone,
" Great... I have to charge my phone and I have a class in one hour!", Isabella said hurrying to find her charger.
She plugged it in and walked to the kitchen to grab something to eat.
As soon as she took a bite on her sandwich she heard her phone ringing , she rushed in the sitting room and checked the number . She didn't know who it was as she answered the call,
" Hello", Isabella said.
" Hi Isabella , glad you picked up! It's Mrs. Alexis we met this morning at Passion& Chocolate company. I've been trying to reach you but your phone was switched off ", Mrs. Alexis said on the other end of the line.
" Oh ,Hi Mrs. Alexis. Sorry about that my battery ran out. Did I forget anything at the company?", Isabella asked.
" No dear. I'm calling you to inform you that you have an interview tomorrow with Mr. Dukas at 8 am . Please be right on time because he loves punctuality!", Mrs. Alexis said with a serious tone.
" Mr. Dukas 8 am! I'll be there even 30mins before! Thank you so much Mrs. Alexis !", Isabella said happily as they said goodbye to each other.
" I've got an interview!... now what will I wear?!", Isabella said looking at her blouse , the coffee stain will surely not come out and she couldn't afford now to buy something new.
" I'm sure Emma can help me out. Well I hope", Isabella said as she wondered what Emma would lend her to wear.
She hurried to get her notes together for her class and at the same time she was excited about tomorrow.

" Emma!", Isabella shouted as she got back from her classes.
" I'm in my room", Emma shouted back.
" Em, I have to tell you about what happened today!", Isabella said as she sat down on Emma's bed as she was busy doing her make- up.
" Going out?", Isabella asked.
" Yeah with the band! Gary promised to take me to a very good show!", Emma replied.
" Oh Gary..." Isabella said blinking her eyes .
Emma threw a pillow at her playfully and laughed.
" Tell me what happened ...did you get the job?", Emma asked excitedly.
" Well...  not yet ... but I have to go back for the interview tomorrow", Isabella said sadly , helping Emma to put her makeup back in her makeup bags.
" What do you mean you are going back tomorrow?", Emma asked.
"Well this is what happened today!", Isabella said as she started telling her friend what she went through.
" Ha .. That's was one hell of a day!", Emma said laughing.
" I'm sorry but it seems you are talking to me about a movie!", Emma said as she walked to her wardrobe.
" Haha very funny Em!", Isabella said but she had to smile because it did sound like a movie .
" Glad about the coffee stain though ,so no more white blouse and black skirt for interview. Try this baby here!", Emma said giving her a blue black bodycon dress.
" Em , this looks brand new! I can't ...", Isabella started to say.
" Well it doesn't fit me ... you have more curves than me..", Emma said asking Isabella to hurry and try the dress on.
Isabella ran to her bedroom and removed her clothes and tried the dress. It fitted her perfectly! Isabella heard someone whistling from behind her , she looked at Emma who gave her a thumbs up.
" That's more like it!", Emma said.
" Em it's gorgeous! Thank you for landing it to me", Isabella said walking to her friend and hugged her.
Emma planted a big kiss on her cheek leaving a big red lipstick mark on her face.
" it's yours .. and tomorrow morning , I'm doing your make up that's the deal!", Emma said.
" Well if you are ready to wake up at six then ok!", Isabella said.
" What six?! Well it will have to be another day! I don't have classes tomorrow so as you know me .. my bed and I we have a long outstanding date!", Emma said walking out and blowing a kiss at Isabella.
" I'll lock up... oh I bought Chinese for you it's in the microwave!", Emma said going downstairs.
" Thank you Em ... you are a darling!", Isabella shouted.
She made her way downstairs and made sure the door was locked properly and then she went to grab her dinner that Emma left.
She smiled when she saw Emma got her , her favorite " Chicken Lo Mein", with love Em", was written on the box.
" What will I do without you Emma!", Isabella said as she warmed her dinner.
She walked to the refrigerator and took out a bottle of apple juice . As she drank it she remembered the two young men from earlier.
She closed her eyes remembering their faces , the one  she spilled coffee on and who was standing in the same office that she was in , he had this dangerous look in his silver piercing eyes and the other one looked like what they would  call the "pretty boy" back in high school. He had a handsome face that could attract any female but the other one had this mysterious look that will make any  female fall on her knees  and crawled to him.
" Wow Isabella step out of it!", She said to herself as the microwave beeped indicating that her food was ready.
She walked to the small table in the sitting area and put her bowl down. She wondered who that Mr. Dukas was and hoped that he would be easy on her since she didn't have much working experiences , she waited tables  back  at her uncle's restaurant,that was the only work experience she had.But she knew that she was a hard working person and was ready for anything!

The night was not a comfortable one for Isabella , she kept thinking about her interview the next day especially after the first impression she gave those people. She heard Emma getting in past two in the morning and could hear she had company. She smiled  and closed her eyes , she had to get some sleep otherwise she would be too tired and in the morning her brain might not function accordingly.

She was already up before her alarm went off. She hurried to the bathroom and when she was getting her coffee downstairs she saw Gary tiptoeing in the sitting room to the door.
" Good morning Gary ", she said .
The poor guy nearly had a heart attack , as he looked at her.
" Hi Isa, early today! ", he said shyly as he waved goodbye to her.
She walked to the door and locked it and went back upstairs.
She was startled to find Emma in her bedroom yawning sitting down with her make up bag.
"I thought you were dressed already!", Emma said.
" I thought you were still in bed, saw the love of your life .. Gary..this morning", Isabella said and her friend blushed .
" We had such a great time yesterday!", Emma said excitedly.
" I could see that .. your cheeks became pink as soon as I said his name!", Isabella said putting on the dress . She put her hair up and Emma fixed it into a messy bun.
Emma put on some blush on her cheeks and applied some  brown eyeliner lightly on her lower lash lines.
She put on the black wedges and looked at herself in the mirror.
Isabella had to smile , she surely looked like an assistant today, she just hoped that Mr. Dukas who ever he was , would  like her and give her the job.
" Em, How will I ever repay you for everything !", Isabella said looking at her friend.
" Well you can leave now and let me get some sleep... you know I love you!", Emma said and the two friends hugged each other.
" Careful .. otherwise you will go in looking  a mess!", Emma said checking her makeup before she left.
Isabella grabbed her bag and checked her watch . It was quarter to seven as she made her way downstairs. She blew a kiss at Emma who was standing at the top of the stairs looking at her.
" I'm proud of myself!", Emma said smiling as she looked at Isabella who was looking beautiful and totally out of her comfort zone.
She hoped that she gets the job so that she could tell her about the job she got for her internship. She couldn't tell her yesterday after she saw how sad Isabella was after her day didn't go well. Emma was sure Isabella would be as thrilled as she was , as she had landed the gold mine!
" Honey I'm coming!", Emma shouted talking to her bed .
