Maltreated

Chapter 4 - New Beginning

I can finally breath. It's time to move on. But first things first, I need a place to stay and a job to support myself.

I am currently in a café far away from home. After a long hour of sitting on a bus seat, I finally found the perfect place to start over.

I was strolling around town when i saw the sign 'JOB VACANCY' It was a small office with a few computers on top of the desks and a few workers.

I went inside, and a woman around her mid-thirties greeted me with a smile on her face "Hello young lady, what can I help you with?"

I answered, "I saw the sign in front and thought that maybe you have a job vacancy?"

The woman smiled at me and said, "Yes we do, my name is Susan, what's yours?"

She has the same name as my mother, I thought, "My name is Tamara, i just moved here!" I replied.

"Lovely, you can start working now if you don't mind. But before you start working I will brief you on what you're suppose to do, is that fine with you?" She said happily.

"Yes, of course! But, dont I have to be interviewed for the job?" I asked.

"Ohh, darling, no!" She laughed. "We really are short among the staffs. We will hire anyone, we are very desperate right now!"

"Okay then," I said.

"Very well, my dear. Now i will tell you your job. As you can see we are a law firm and-" I snapped "Law firm?" She asked, "Why yes, you have any problem with it?" I replied, "No, it's just that my mom was a lawyer and i really want to become one!"

"Great then, as much as I really want to hear your story, we need to get to work!" She said.

"Oh no, it's okay. Let's be professional and get our jobs done!" I said enthusiastically.

"That's the spirit, Tamara," she said while smiling.

That day, I finished my job and I really loved it. This must be what mom feels everyday.

When I went outside to go home, I remembered that I didnt have a place to stay. Just then, Susan asked me, "Aren't you going home, dear?" I replied, "I dont have a place to stay!"

Susan laughed "I have an extra room at my house, my son stays there but he is currently not at home, you can stay there for the time being. I'm sure my husband wouldn't mind!"

I smiled and hugged her, "Thank you so much, I dont know how I can ever repay you!"

She hugged me back, "It's fine, dear. Now shall we get going?"

"Yes!" I replied.

I wouldn't have expected my life would change so much!
