"Chanel, hurry up, you're going to be late for your interview", Chanel's best friend, Kat, yells from the dining room.

"I'm coming, I'm coming, just give me a sec, okay," Chanel yells back.

After a few minutes she stepped out of her bedroom, dressed in a black pencil skirt, matching blazer, with a white shirt and a pair of black platforms. She had minimal makeup and her hair was up into a neat ponytail.

"You look smoking hot, babes," Kat smirks.

Kat, Katrina Gayoso, is Chanel's best friend and partner in crime, they have been best friends for over 5 years. After the incident with Vincent three months ago, Chanel quit her job for a better one at a major accounting firm called Giovanni & Associates, and she’s going for her final interview today to meet her superiors and sign the contract. Conveniently, Kat works across the street from the building, with the company law firm, she’s been working there for about two months, and after she heard that there was an opening, she got Chanel an interview.

"Thank you, Kat," she smiles.

Kat gives her a warm smile, "I'm so excited for you Chanel, we're finally going to work closer together, and now I have someone to go to lunch with.”

"I know." Chanel grins.

"Okay, let's get going, we have an hour to calm your nerves and get breakfast," she says, flipping her long dark hair over her shoulder.

Kat is a beautiful half white and Hispanic women, with long dark hair, hourglass body, and lips so plump you just want to kiss them all the time. She has beautiful hazel coloured eyes that sometimes seem to have a little green in them, she’s cute but also dangerous like any Hispanic woman.

The two girls make their way out of Chanel's apartment, they go downstairs and get into Kat's car, Chanel lets out a shaky breath, she’s nervous, and she never gets nervous, why now? Why today? Was it because of what she knew and was hoping wasn’t true?

"Girl, you better calm down," Kat chuckles as she starts the engine.

"Kat, this is big; we are getting so close; you can't tell me to calm down. I don’t want to mess up and get us caught, you know these people."

"I know, but that won't help you with anything Chicka, relax take a breather. Where you wanna go for breakfast?" Kat asks wanting to change the subject.

"Let's go to Mugg and Bean, it's closer to the building."

"Awesome."

They make the short drive into town to the mall close to Kat's work building, the park close to the restaurant and they walk in. A cute waiter greets them at the door and ushers them to a table at the back of the restaurant, he introduces himself as Kevin and gives them their menus.

"He is cute" Kat whispers.

Chanel laughs, "Not really but he looks gay"

"What? No, he doesn't" Kat argues.

The waiter came back, with his light green eyes glowing as the sunshine on them, he had freckles on his nose and cheeks and Kat loved freckles on a man.

"What can I get you two ladies?" he asks in a deep voice and charming smile.

"You," Kat blurts out and she quickly covers her mouth with her hand and blushes.

"Excuse my friend, we'll have an English breakfast, she'll have a sunny side up and I'll have scrambled eggs, with two large coffees, no milk and sugar for me and milk and two sugars for her," Chanel says to the waiter.

Kevin chuckles, "Alright, your food will be ready in 15 minutes"

"Thank you," Kat blushes as she hands him the menu. He takes Chanel's menu and gives Kat a wink before he walks away.

"Oh, Dios mijo," Kat groans, "I just embarrassed myself."

Chanel laughs, "Now look who's being dramatic"

Kat clicks her tongue, "Shut up."

Fifteen minutes later, the waiter returns with their food and Chanel quickly eats her breakfast and slowly drinks her coffee, she has 15 minutes left until her interview and she’s growing a little impatient with Kat.

"Girl can you hurry up; I'm going to be late."

Kat swallows the last bit of her breakfast, "Okay, okay, call for the bill."

Chanel signals to the waiter to bring their bill and he comes to their table, takes their empty plates, and leaves the bill with a couple of mints, Chanel pulls out her wallet and pays the bill, Kat then adds the tip and her number at the bottom of the receipt. They leave the restaurant and cross the street to the building; Giovanni & Associates said the big bold letters on the front of the building.

"You now have 12 minutes, you ready?" Kat asks looking at her best friend.

"I'm good," she smiles.

Kat smiles and hugs her, "I know you'll get this job. You don’t really have much of a choice to be honest."

"Thank you, Kat for the stark remainder."

Kat kisses her friend on the cheek and watches her enter the building and she crosses the street and goes into her office building.

Chanel’s now alone; she walks towards the elevator and goes up to the third floor. She does her breathing exercise on the way up and when she the doors open; she walks to the receptionist desk.

"Morning, I'm Chanel Wilson, I'm here for the ten o'clock interview," she says to the middle-aged woman.

"Morning, yes Mr Martin is waiting for you in his office" she smiles, "It's just down the hall to your left, his name is on the door."

"Thank you." Chanel smiles.

She makes her way down the hall and turns left, and just as she does, she sees the

Mr. Martins name on the door, she knocks on it gently and waits.

"Come in," a deep voice answer. Chanel opens the door and walks in, a tall dark handsome mans’ seated on the other side of the desk, with a charming smile.

"Miss Wilson, I presume," he says as he stands up from his seat.

"Yes," she walks to the desk and shakes his hand. "Nice to meet you."

He smiles, "Feeling is mutual. You may take your seat."

Chanel sits down and places her handbag on the floor and the interview proceeds, Mr Martin was a very well-mannered man, he’s also a little flirtatious which was inappropriate, but Chanel didn't think much of it, she needs the job and is willing to overlook that.

About half an hour later, the interview is over.

"Well Miss Wilson, we'd love to have someone like you in our company, so I'll offer you the position," he says.

Chanel’s shocked, she couldn't help but just smile, "You can come to take the contract, read through it and then bring it to me tomorrow on your first day."

"Oh my god thank you," she sighs happily.

"Not a problem," he nods curtly.

"I'll see you tomorrow at 09:00." she smiles.

Mr Martin nods, "Yes. Have a wonderful day Miss Wilson."

"Thank you," and she leaves the office and makes her way out of the building, she hauls for a cab and a car stops and she jumps in.

She calls Kat.

"Hey girl, an interview done already."

"Yep and I officially got the job, I start tomorrow." she squeals.

Kat squeals too, "Oh my gosh, that’s great Chicka. Now we can finally get down to business."

"Thank you. Tonight, we hittin' the club," she says excitedly.

"Yassss baby girl, we gonna get us some men tonight."

"Ooh yes, baby girl."

The cab stops and she hands the driver a twenty and tells him to keep the change.

"You gonna come get ready at my place," Chanel asks as she makes her way up the stairs.

"As always, what's the colour scheme, I'm thinking black and gold."

Chanel gets to her front door and it's slightly ajar, "Girl I'll call you back."

"What's wrong? Sounds like something is wrong," Kat asks worriedly.

"I locked my doors right when you came to pick me up."

"Yes, oh shit. Grab the baseball bat behind the door and call me back okay and if anything goes wrong press the button," Kat says and hangs up.

She slowly walks into the house and grab the baseball bat behind the door, as she walks in further, she sees a tall man, standing by the window.

"Who are you and what are you doing in my house?" She yells and she raises the bat.

Suddenly something covers her face from behind and she’s knocked out cold.

Chanel feels something soft beneath her, it wasn't her bed, it smelled manly. Her eyes jolt open and she quickly sits up.

"Ah you're awake," says a disembodied voice. She couldn't see who it was and then he emerged from behind the curtains which seemed to lead to a balcony.
