     Lauren lay on the bed, tossing from one end of the bed to the other. She checked the wall clock again before getting up to bath. Lord! Help me pass this interview.

     She spent about ten minutes in the bedroom, before checking for the clothes to wear. She hesitated for a while before picking an ash suit with its skirt. It was so worn out but it was the best in her box.

     After dressing up, she hurried out of the house and flagged down a taxi.
'To Ashton Johnson company', she told the chauffeur.
Luckily, she reached the company in time for the interview. She heaved a sigh of relief and muttered some prayers before entering the waiting room.

     She met about 30 more applicants and her anxiety increased. A young lady about her age smiled at her from her seat, as if she was assuring her that everything would be alright. She reciprocated the smile and sad down. A few minutes later, the lady came to sit beside her.

'Hey, I'm Gloria Williams and I also came for the interview.'
I'm Lauren. Lauren Smith.
