"Elmore, Amelia Elmore" I said looking at him he had a mysterious vibe I couldn't quite explain "and you are" he smiled "well my name is..........



And just as he was about to introduce himself as if by happenstance someone approached in that exact moment "You must be Miss Elmore, would you follow me please" a man rocking what looked like a marc Jacobs suite said to me

and the only reason I know that is because his cuffs and tie had said so written in small letters across and around them now that I think about it everyone here is super attractive 

almost like a cast on an early 2000s TV show before the diversity kicked in meaning mostly male mostly white but this was just the break room so maybe everyone else is out who knows.

"Miss Elmore, oh are you not" he asked pulling me out of my trance "oh right that's me and who are you exactly"
I asked a bit perplexed no one here knew who I was "Davante Juan- Johnson I'm here to take you to the main office" he said and I felt like an dimwit in that moment ofcourse I was being called for an answer that's why I was here in the first place

"Right um, lead the way" I said ready to leave this room of horrors before more mansplaining, well hot British guy wasn't that bad didn't get his name though, priorities Morgan priorities I thought to myself as we headed back to the main offices the was a lingering awkward silence I was never one for small talk but might as well make some if I do get the job I'll atleast know someone

"so um Juan Johnson that's un interesting hyphenation" I said I really I'm terrible at this small talk thing

 why do humans need this again "yeah I was adopted by a Latino family and when I turned 18 I added it to my name it's a long story" he said with a small smile "right, cool" I said back awkwardly maybe we didn't need to talk, thankfully we arrived at the office saving me from this dying conversation

"Miss Elmore take a sit, we appreciate you waiting but unfortunately we just don't have room for your position at this time, we would love to have you here your pitch and resume are great" they paused "but you don't have as much experience as we would like we're sorry" they said

And all I could think was great all that for nothing I missed my fourth interview to wait and be rejected why bother with the interview if the position was already filled I hope Kim's day was way better than this

okay time for the fake smile "oh I understand" I said shaking their hands "thank you so much for your time" I said smiling looking very appreciative, scary how good I was at faking my emotions

Honey I'm home " I said walking into our room " oh hey Amelia" Kim said looking up from her phone "so how did it go" i asked looking at her closing the door behind me

"well I got rejected from everything but the Pepsi commercial" she said unenthusiastically "well it's a start" I said with a small smile " yeah how did yours go" she asked looking at me

 "well it was a bust I'll try again tomorrow the is a café I wanna try out" oh cool I'll be home all day I can go with you well not for the actual interview I could if you want me to though" she said looking back from her phone to me "no it's okay" as I said this my phone rung I looked at it oddly causing Kim to look at me

"Are you not going to get that" she said raising her brow "it's an unknown caller" I said picking it up "hello" I answered waiting on the other end

"yes ofcourse" I said as the caller spoke, Kim looked at me questionably as she was swinging her legs in the air "yes I understand I'll be there" I said hanging up as my best friend looked at me expectantly "it was the company where I had my last interview, they apparently changed their minds and want me to go in tomorrow" I said in bewilderment

"That's amazing" Kimberly said excitedly "isn't it" she said tilting her head slightly "yeah but it's just so weird they seemed adamant in their decision earlier it's just..... I don't know" I said walking towards the bed 

"this is a good thing Milia they probably just realized their mistake after you left" she said turning facing up at the ceiling "you're probably right it just feels odd you know" I said laying down next to her looking at the ceiling, I never noticed we had a fan hung up the

"hey, I can come with you for moral support" she said smiling enthusiastically

"No its okay ill just see what's up, thanks though" I said drifting off into sleep it really didn't hit me until now how much I did today
