I woke up to insistent ringing , I dabbed around my bed for my phone before I realised it was on what used to be my reading table
As I stood up and made my way to the table I noticed it was morning already
Hello my voice was hoarse but the voice on the other end was chirpy
Good morning Mrs Paul, I'm Regina for Datums Global
Yes?
Oh my bad the squeaky voice continued
I'm calling to inform you we received your CV and would like to invite you for an interview next week Monday at 11
I was suddenly awake, was this really happening?
Trying to sound as composed as possible I replied thank you I'll be there
The phones clicking off was my queue to scream and dance around my room but a part of me kept whispering don't get your hopes up. However for the first time in a long while I decided to silence that voice and hope.
Clasping my hands and shutting my eyes I whispered 'God I really need this job'
Monday couldn't come any slower but finally it was here the interview was very impersonal and took more time than I had anticipated
I was famished by the time I got out and decided to head to a near by restaurant just a few blocks from the office building
I had only just got my seat after ordering when I felt a pair of eyes on me, I looked up to see a familiar face among a group of people seated at the far left corner of the restaurant
As he smiled and made his way towards me, I thought to myself "you've got to be kidding me"
