Ijeoma's POV
I waved Zozo goodbye after dropping her in front of her school gate but she had already sped off to meet up with her friends. I smiled shaking my head at her, last year she wouldn't let go off me but now she was running off and not looking back.
As I walked along the street and away from the school, my phone rang in my purse. I pulled out my phone and glanced at the screen. It was my Dad.
"Hello. Good morning, daddy"
"Good morning. How are you?"
"I'm fine. How about you and everyone else?"
"We're all fine"
"Okay, that's good" I said "Did something happen?"
"How?"
"Like... You called me"
He chuckled. " So I can't call my daughter for no reason"
"You can" I replied with a smile spreading across my face
He chuckled again. "Anyways, I did call you for a reason"
"What is it?"
"A friend of mine from back in my University days has a reputable shipping company and I spoke to him concerning a job for you" he said
"Daddy, I already have a job" I replied
"You mean selling snacks in that hospital? That one is not a job" he argued
"If it's not a job then what is it?" I asked, coming out to the open road where I would get a bus.
"Ehn... Well, it's a job but not the kind I'd like for you"
I could imagine crinkling his nose as he spoke.
I let out a small laugh. "Okay, so what type of job would you prefer for me"
"A desk job or something" he stated. "Which is why I spoke to my friend and he's open to meeting with you?"
"Really? Did you ask him what job I'll be doing"
"No, he just said you should come to his office for an interview tomorrow by 8am" he replied. "I'll send you the address on WhatsApp"
"Okay, no problem"
"I'll talk to you later"
"Okay bye"
"Bye" he said and hung up.
An interview? It had been quite a while since I went for a job interview and I wasn't a fan either. Job interviews were nerve-racking in its entirety; preparing for questions you might be asked was something I wasn't looking forward to. They always wanted to know so much and at the end of the day, I wouldn't get a call back and if at all I did, it was to let me know that the job had been taken by someone else.
An almost empty mini bus arrived at the bus stop and I boarded quickly. I took a seat by the window so I could look outside and also because it was stuffy in the bus. As the bus began to move, I leaned my head on the glass window and let my mind wander off.

Next day
Good luck, my love
