The noise radiated off of the walls and back out into the loud streets of New York City. The alarm clock that was supposed to go off an hour ago but broke last week finally made a silent ring and Noale Castrofe shot up from her bed, head of curly hair tenting around her face as she looked towards the cracked windows and the sun beaming into her room . Noale got up trudging to them and slammed them shut earning a crack in the window near her fridge " oh god " she mumbled, hughing while looking towards her schedule for the day .

The job interview

Noale ran to her bathroom and quickly put her hair into a messy bun, the messiest you'd ever see. She quickly pushed her thick legs into suit pants and grabbed the only suitable shirt for occasion she had with the least crests she could find.

As Noale walked towards the subway she started thinking of the possibilities that she didn't get the job. The possibility that she'd have to move back to Carolina with her father and estranged mom with her siblings trying to make ends meat to stay at their house and be yelled at to take the trash out every night after work .

" I have to get this job "

This was the fourth interview this month, more importantly the last. If Noale didn't get this job she'd definitely have to leave seeing as her savings were decreasing by the day , even on a strict ramen noodle diet . As she finally reached the building she looked up to its top and gasped . It had to be one of the biggest buildings in New York that she'd seen. When she walked in there were two fountains that had blue water pouring from them, blue painted roses at the bottom of them with large candy bowls full of peppermints next to them. She was completely engulfed in the beauty she didn't even realize there was a posse of people coming in behind her. Noale started walking backwards towards the elevators and got in one to the fourth floor.

Or so she assumed

Noale was walking on the long corridor of the fourth floor for a few minutes before just deciding to pull her paper out and look again. She continued walking until she came in contact with another person, knocking her things out of her hand. She looked up towards the person to apologize only to have her breath hitch in her throat " watch where y-" the man stopped mid sentence, looking at Noale from her shoes to her hair really slowly " may I help you ?" The girl shook her head quick" I'm coming for the job interview and I'm afraid I didn't think the building would be this big " the man chuckled and looked towards the elevators as if he had somewhere more important to be " I'll take you there if you'd let me see that " he bent down and grabbed all of her things including the piece of paper with the words " Centineo Corp" in big letters" okay come with me" he now had her bag around his shoulder and her paper in his hand, walking up two flights of stairs he opened the door to a room full of people who all snapped their head up toward the two. When everyone saw who he was they clapped and waved, a few opening their mouths to actually form a 'hello' . Noale looked over to the man completely confused " thank you-" " Noah, Centineo" he turned back towards the stairs and closed the door after waving goodbye. Noale looked at the 'Centineo Corp' on her paper and her eyes grew big " was that the CEO?" Everyone mumbled and Noale grew sweaty quickly, not being able to believe who she'd just talked to. She sat next to a girl with jet black hair and red roots ,looking as if she'd just dyed it " was that really the CEO ? " Noale shrugged, confused herself " if so than you're the luckiest fucking person in here, this is the first time the CEO will actually be picking the new employees himself, something about wanting to know the new faces personally " " must be nice to have that option" Noale replied and the girl chuckled " you're funny,my names Chloe " " nice meeting you Chloe I'm Noale " " I got an email about the position their offering and it included the monthly pay check estimate " " say no more " they both laughed together as the office door opened " okay can I have Chase Marez first ?" A man with hazel eyes and light brown skin ran to the door with a huge smile on his face and Noale found herself wishing she could smile bright like that. Considering she woke up at 8 and got here just in time, only running on one half a cup of coffee, she thought she was doing well.

Chloe and Noale were almost half way asleep by each other now, looking at doctor Phil on the TV when the office door opened for the fiftieth time in the last two hours and a half " Noale Castrofe?" Chloe looked down at Noale and Noale sat up " go girl! "

When Noale made it to the interview room she laid eyes on none other than Mr.Centineo, now wearing a dressing suit instead of the jeans and plain office shirt he was wearing a few hours ago. She couldn't help but to admire how nice his body looked in the suit, even the scar under his bottom lip " hello again Noale" he stood up to shake her hand with a smile on his face and his associates looked at him shocked, in all the years they'd never known Noah to smile at anytime, especially not an employee" hello Mr.Centineo,thank you again for earlier " " don't mention it, please sit" Noah and the other people asked questions for about twenty minutes when Noah sighed in the empty room " I will say I have never seen someone with your curricular intelligence for this business" Noale let her shoulders loose, doing a quick sigh internally " I would honestly love for you to work here but-" her eyes shot up at Noah and he had this knowing smirk on his lips. He was staring at her expressions, a little confused by her might he add. She had this unruly put together look like she was a model of the sort,for Hilfiger or something he thought. He was intrigued" would you be alright with our work schedule ?" " I'D BE FINE! HONESTLY I CAN RUN HERE AT FIVE A.M EVERYDAY I DON'T CARE" she stood up and placed both her hands on the desk and Noah felt a spark in his chest. Something he's never felt before " alright you've got the job " Noale shrieked aloud,finally thinking of the club sandwich that she could eat when she left here, forgetting the ramen noodles for as long as she can " I won't let you down " " I hope you won't" he stood up to shake her hand and she gripped his, shaking quickly and running out to the secretary as told " hey Marcia ?" " yes Mr. Centineo ?" " put her desk next to mines please " his associates looked at him shocked as he walked out of the office and towards the back where the garage was " you lot can interview the rest, I'm off "

Noale ran through the streets of New York ecstatic and excited. She had never had a big Corp job before and she didn't think she ever would coming from the small town she hailed from. As she walked into the corner store to get a turkey hero she grinned looking out the door " 4.33$ ma'am" she paid and walked out, strutting towards her home with the first big meal she'd eaten in days, grateful and ready.
