Chapter 5

‍"I am sitting in the waiting room, next to me are two other girls probably to pass the interview. This building is beautiful, just by looking at it you can feel the comfort in the work environment. the air conditioning is soft, if I work here I will no longer suffer from the heat and the extreme sun that wrinkles my beautiful skin. I see people passing and repassing, humm the girls are all well dressed with heels it looks like the competition of Louboutins, the money is good ohh. I like shoes but I don't have enough money to afford them, at least I prioritize my family instead of spending on accessories. I remember once I worked in a company as a communicator, it was also great I made a lot of connections and I was well paid but too bad I was fired because of my multiple absences due to my father's state of health I was always in the hospital. I cried a lot this work, it's life.

I look at one of the girls near me on my left, she is so badly dressed, she thinks she was going to a circus or something and on top of that she is chewing gum, damn we didn't teach her that you don't do that during an interview, where does she even come from. In any case it's her problem maybe she wants to seduce the bosses, too bad for her if the human resources director is a woman she will read the time. The one on my right seems more mature, she is well dressed and is very pretty. She scares me, I think she will be my rival in this race for the position of executive assistant. The fight will be tough I promise myself to give it my all. I see a lady coming towards us she looks at us, I love her pink jacket which is to go out with her shoe, she smiles at us it already reassures me''.

hello ladies. Sorry for the delay we'll start with the first one follow me please.

'' She calls the first file in her hands, the girl on my right follows her. The stress starts to invade me, it's always like that when I want to have an interview that is close to my heart. I already know the questions that most people ask so I study the answers in my head, nothing must escape me I must not stutter Laba ah no. The interview takes a long time I even have to pee eh witchcraft I'm going to start how. I squeeze my feet and wait, everything happens in my head. The girl finally comes back she smiles hummm I don't like seeing her smile it means that everything went well,I have to ask her.

ehh how was it?.

She comes closer to me like she doesn't want the other girl to listen.

yes but the big boss is there he asks too many questions.

huh? The CEO is there?.

yes yes. He's the one who coordinates everything. I still answered the questions I hope he was satisfied, good luck I'm going home.

ok ohh.

She left and I'm surprised that the CEO is here it's getting more serious more stressful, I've never seen him but I asked about him, they say he's always nervous angry as if he had problems with everyone. The kind of boss I don't like but hey we don't really have a choice we have to deal with their murderous mood. My last boss I had was very nice, in fact my superiors have always been they were all great. I have to pee again oh god wait first I have my interview ohh. The lady arrives and calls me. I followed her. We take the elevator to the 3rd. Surely the bosses' offices. I can already see myself working here and taking the elevator every morning to go to my workstation, the dream is allowed lol. We arrive she opens a door and lets me in, I first noticed the large room with chairs all around a large oval table that occupies the room. The coolness of the room is more pleasant than downstairs I feel like I'm in a refrigerator. My gaze falls on a man at the end of the table who is staring at me. oh shit it's not possible, no no I can't believe it. I want to go out, how do I get out of here. It's not possible that this is happening to me I feel stupid yes I am an idiot. I don't even listen to what the lady sitting there is telling me I'm insulting myself so much I want to go into the ground, normally we should be able to go into the ground when we are faced with this kind of situation. This same man I insulted this morning is the CEO of Oxford damn it. I feel the lady's hand on me and that's when I come back to earth.

are you okay?.

uhh no ma'am, uhh it's just that I want to make myself comfortable.

sit down it will be quick.

Shit I want to run away she asks me to sit down how. Eh God why are you doing this to me, people are right to say that I have a dirty mouth stuippp. My eyes are staring at the table it's better. I feel him calm, he's not fidgeting, maybe he didn't notice, he's wearing glasses but this morning he didn't have them that means he didn't notice me, I hope so. He clears his throat surely to speak, he searches through my file.

miss faithful Noah is that it?.

Why does he call me faithful he hasn't seen Carla Laba?stuippp I don't even want to answer but I have no choice anyway I've already lost I'll fill out the formalities and go home to cry my long mouth.

yes that's it sir.

Mr. Oxford at your service.

nice to meet you sir.

on my left Mrs. Edimo HRD and on my right my colleague Mr. Bob. How are you?.

Is he serious? He really wants me to answer this question? Ah, he probably wants to humiliate me. Why does he act like he doesn't notice me when he does.

a little stressed but it's okay.

why are you stressed?.

I look him up and down in my head before answering.

it's not every day that I'm in front of a CEO with whom I'm going to have an interview.

I want to complete the interview that I'm already lost but I keep it in my head. .
