Reality

chapter 2

I entered the room labeled ralph Lauren. In sat a man with silver hair with a few black strands. He wore an expensive charcoal black suit and a golden watch in contrast. He looked elegant as ever. I sat parallel to him observing my surrounding, when I looked towards him he was accessing me already, being a little shy I gave him a polite smile.

‘What is your name?’ asked ralph

‘Its Alice waldford, it a pleasure meeting you sir, I admire your work’ I said with a small smile.

‘Well I know, thanks anyway. I have seen your records”’ he said flipping pages on my resume’ you have done several fashion agencies, why choose us?’ he asked.

Damn he is good and he knows it.

‘ sir I just wanted to work between professionals to look at fashion from every aspect, I have dealt with several costumers which is why I know many perspectives, as I said earlier I really admire your work so my goal was always ralph Lauren’

He kept my file down and clasped his hands on the table looking genuinely interested.

‘What if you don’t get job here? Where will you turn’ I knew I shouldn’t have kept my hopes high.

‘ sir honestly I’ll try to start my own business, you’ve been always an inspiration for many’ I told him honestly because I too didn’t know what will happen to me,ofcourse I don’t have connections so I’ll be probably unemployed.

‘Well it was nice meeting you, we’ll let you know the results thank you for visiting’ raplh said.

What? But I think I was here for 15 minutes, well there is no hope for me.

‘Good day sir’ I said while stepping out of the office, I really don’t know if I should happy, sad, or excited. I took a bus and went home, the whole day I slacked off, I was so anxious. While I was reading one of my books, hennery came in.

‘Hey babe, what are you reading?’ he asked softly while kissing my forehead.

‘hey, nothing just binge reading the great Gatsby, why are you here so early?” I said while making room for him.

‘Early? Ha babe look outside your window its evening, get up’

‘I can’t I am hibernating’ I said with a pout that made him smile.

‘So any call from them?’

‘Nah, they should at least send a consolation message to me’

‘Babe we don’t even know the results, don’t let your hopes die, I know you did great ‘he said hugging me. I nestled in his shoulder.

‘So how was your day?’ I asked suppressing a yawn.

‘It was the same, please don’t suppress the yawn, go to sleep.

‘But you just came’

‘Doesn’t matter, sleep complete your hibernation’ he said with a playful smile.   

I smiled lazily and then dozed off. I did feel him tucking me in, it made me smile, gosh he is so cute, and how lucky I am.

The next day in the morning my eyes snapped open because of a loud ringing, I looked around frantically and saw my phone ringing, god damn it, I answered the phone without looking the phone id.

‘Hello, is this Miss Waldford?’ said a women

‘Yes this is she, how can I help you?’

‘This is Emma from ralph Lauren’

Oh my god this is it.
