I woke up to the sound of my alarm.
It's 6:45 am in the morning.
I groan inwardly and switch the alarm off.
I stretch out and open my eyes.
It's an important day today.

I step out of my bed and head straight into the in-built bathroom.
I am planning on putting a little extra effort in pampering myself for the big day ahead.

After a long 45 minutes shower, I step out and get dressed.
I pair up my clothes with my black stilletos.
I blow dry my hair and after a lot of thought I decide to go with my classic high ponytail for the day.
I put a little moisturizer on my face and apply some mascara. I pinch my cheeks a little to provide a natural pink colour and then finally I put some gloss on.
I check myself in the mirror and give myself a nod. I look presentable enough.

Okay then.. let's go !!

I put my stuff in my handbag and collect my documents from the cabinet and head downstairs.

"Well .. look at that !"
Oliver smiles and orates as soon as I step down.

It's his turn to prepare the breakfast today so I was hoping to see him in the kitchen this morning!
He's tossing the omelet in the flat pan.
The bread slices and Coffee mugs are placed neatly on the kitchen table.

I feel a little conscious after Oliver's comment. I quickly look down at myself and ask.

"Do I look okay ?"

"You look like a grown up woman."

"Yaa ! But do I really look OKAY ?"
I ask him again.

"Can't you hear me.. I said you look all grown up!"
He says annoyingly.

"He is trying to say that you look amazing darling."
Dad says, making both Oliver and I turn as he comes out of his room.

"Yeah.. That's what I said !"
Oliver says and shakes his head crudely.

"Everything will be good sweetie !! There's nothing to stress about. Those people will be lucky to have you. They'll hire you as soon as they'll see you."
Dad reassures me.

"Thanks Dad. I wish everything in the world is as easy as you make it sound."
I hug him and he kisses the top of my head.

"Now have a good breakfast with us and then off you go. Okay!"
Dad settles down on one the kitchen stools and I sit beside him.

After eating breakfast I collect my belongings and prepare to leave.
Dad and Oliver give me a hug and wish me good luck.

It's 8:30 am when I step out of my house.
I settle in my car and as I'm about to take off, I recieve two text messages from Lee and Dan wishing me best of luck for my interviews.
I smile at my screen and reply them both.
I turn the music on and head straight to the 'Profero Advertising Agency' which is a 30 minutes drive from my place.

The Profero office is located at the 17th Floor of The Gazzetta Building !
I park my car in the parking lot and step inside the building and wait for the elevator to appear.

I am alone in the elevator and this does not help me a bit.
I grow more and more nervous as the elevator approaches the 17th floor.
I check my face in my compact mirror and take a deep breath.

The 'ping' of the elevator announces my arrival.
I step out and read the name 'PROFERO ADVERTISING AGENCY Pvt. Ltd.' written in bold blue letters.

The interiors of the office are quite opulent and contemporary.
The walls are covered with beige colored wallpapers that appear a little opaque.
As far as I can see there's glass used for almost all the furniture contrasted with what I presume is Rosewood.
Dad's love for wood sculpting has helped me learn about the different kind of woods.
