I Married An Immortal (The Alchemists)

Chapter 4 - Encounter At The Hospital

Finland woke up very early in the morning. She had a job interview, and she must not be late. It had been a month since she graduated from college and officially became unemployed. As someone who was used to being busy and working hard, unemployment sucked.

The position she applied for was marketing at entry-level, and Finland felt confident that she would be accepted. Her college grades were good and she had a PR (permanent resident) status in Singapore.

On top of that, the company she applied to was specifically looking for an Indonesian to assist with marketing projects related to the Indonesian market.

Finland decided to walk because the distance from the apartment to the Suntec Tower was not too far away. She preferred to walk as much as possible, especially if the distance was under 3 km. She could save money on transportation and exercise at the same time. She had Jean to thank for this. He was the one who showed her the convenience of walking in Singapore.

"Pretend you're on the runway and try to walk like a supermodel! Trust me, it is not easy," said Jean, laughing. He then started walking like a male runway model on the catwalk showing off the latest Dior suits. Finland would then try to imitate Victoria's Secret model, swinging sexily pretending to wear glisten underwear and a pair of wings.

Jean was right, walking on the smooth and straight sidewalk in Singapore was very pleasant. The country's humidity didn't bother them as they fantasize about the runway. Since then Finland walked as much as she could.

She intentionally walked slowly to Suntec Tower. She didn't want to look sweaty and filthy during the interview. Before going to the receptionist, she tidied herself in the bathroom and made sure that she looked perfect.

She only wore a simple black dress and blue flower-patterned formal shoes, but her beauty that emanated still turned heads when she entered the building.

Her job interview was a success. It did not take long for the HR to offer her a starting salary and three-month probation. She could start working next week after completing a medical check-up at the company's appointed hospitals.

She would receive a starting salary of S$ 2500, which was the minimum wage for fresh graduates that year. Finland was very happy because, for the first time in her life, she would have enough money for her needs. Once she received her first salary, she would immediately find a rental room and move out of Jean's apartment.

"Congratulations! Please take this form and fill in all the necessary data. You can start working next week. Before you join, you need to get a medical check-up at one of the hospitals or clinics on this list. Keep the receipt and reimburse it to the finance department. "

Finland's excitement faded a little. Apparently she had to pay the medical check fee first, and the company would reimburse it later. She thought about the 50 dollars in her account. She did not know how much a medical check would cost and where she would get more money if she didn't have enough.

She said goodbye and took all the forms with a heavy heart.

One more step... She almost got the job, she only had to find a way to afford the medical check.

Today was Monday, which meant that she couldn't get extra money from distributing flyers as that was a weekend job. She was deep in thought.

Ah, maybe she could sell some of her stuff on the internet... First, she needed to know how much the medical check costs.

Finland walked to Stamford Hospital which was not too far from Suntec Tower. This was one of the referral hospitals on the list she was holding. She would ask how much was the cost for a medical check in there, so she can ascertain how much money she needed to get.
