Stephanie is so excited about decorating she's already ordered furniture for the living room and dining room. She has everything all planned out. I let her decorate I don't really care I just want to decorate my own room. Now if she starts barking orders and arranging furniture in my room I am raising all types of hell. I am super nervous about this interview with Beyond Inc. steph is in the building now for her interview now, her father made good on his word and got her in. She got her interview a day before mine. He must know the owner or something. I decide to sit in the car and wait for her. I watch the clock and it's been 20 minutes. Not long after I hear the car door opens. "So I got it."
"Cool, that's great. What position?" I ask
Starting the car, "Finance Manager. I start Monday."
"Finance manager?" That was the position I was interviewing for? So what does that mean? The position is no longer open? Or is it multiple finance manager positions?
"Yeah."
"I told you that was the position I applied for and now you have it." Now I am annoyed and feel a bit of betrayed.
"Maybe there's another one open." She bites her lip.
We arrived to our new home I sat on the porch on indeed looking for a new potential job. I reach out to my advisor from college about jobs as well. My phone rings and it's Beyond Inc. I answer the phone, "Hello?"
I stand up, "Personal Assistant to Joe Anao'i himself? I repeat out loud. I don't know if I should be jumping up and sown I'm excitement or be offended. Joe Anao'i is the owner of Beyond Inc. he's super famous. "Yes, sure." I hang up.
I don't know how to feel about this, being a personal assistant- it's like slave work in a way. And we are way past that. Stephanie comes out, "Here are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm good."
"You still have the interview for tomorrow right?"
"Yeah." I'm not gonna tell her what for. It is what it is.
"See ain't nothing to worry about." She pats my back as I walk in the house. I fake smile pretending I wasn't upset about her getting my position. If anything she should have told them she was looking for another position and not the one I wanted or had her father get me in so damn easily. All she did was go in fill out paperwork and came out.
"The furniture will be here today, as a matter of fact they should be pulling up in about an hour."
"Okay, I am just waiting on my bedroom furniture to come." I check the status on my phone. "Tomorrow it says it's gonna be here. I'm going to be in my room watching tv."
"Maybe we can have a little girls night. I know we don't have any furniture yet but we can still make this night fun. We have a microwave, pots, pans, silverware, and televisions. I can make some popcorn we can pop a movie and chat."
"No thank you. I just want to be alone tonight." I said to her. I go into my room closed and locked the door. I stayed in my room all day. I put on my headphones rock out to my music until I fell asleep.
It's the next day I get all dressed up for my interview. I look in the bathroom mirror trying to be positive. I am going to see things in the eyes of Joe Anoa'i's eyes. I'm going to know things everyone else won't. I pulled my hair back in a small ponytail. I put on a Versace blouse that Stephanie had bought me for my birthday and black pants.
