First day at Work

Meiying's POV: I hope I catch the bus in time…!

Zooming past me, the bus seemed to say:

"Hasta never, Meiying!"

Sighing, I took a seat on the bench waiting for another bus to come pick me up. Looking forward to my new job, I tried to hold my head high. But, even though I tried to be cheerful, the memories of the past deflated my happy spirits. My boyfriend, Joshua, was supposed to be sitting with me now, giving me encouragement and lighting up my mood with a good joke. Instead, I was crying and very hungry, since I didn't have time to eat breakfast this morning. My stomach growled.

Meiying's POV: Thank God! A bus!

Running, I was able to catch the last seat on the bus. I plugged in my headphones and listened to my favorite music while I admired the scenery flying by. Soon, I could see New York in all its glory. Children ran with their backpacks and textbooks to a school building. Mothers walked past, occasionally carrying a baby.

Meiying's POV: Man, it was only months ago when I was a mother.

Wiping away a tear, I got off the bus and headed to my new job: a large company called "Professional Office Outfits". It was a very big building, and people were constantly coming in and out. Security were everywhere, as well as cameras in every corner. I approached the entrance. An officer stopped me.

???: Your name and reason why you are here?

Meiying: My name is Meiying and I have a job interview with the owner of this company.

???: Please follow me.

The security guard led me through three halls and one large lobby room where several people were sitting. The ceiling had three large chandeliers and the furniture was vintage style, making the room look very welcoming.

???: Right this way, Miss.

Meiying: Thank-

I stopped in my tracks and looked at the man in front of me. I blushed cherry red. The man had brown, straight hair, styled in the latest fashion, and cold, staring eyes. His suit was a limited edition, worth well above $3,000.

???: Take a seat. John, thank you for escorting her here. You may go.

John: Thank you.

???: Name please.

Meiying: Meiying Johnson.

???: You are divorced, I suppose.

(figets and clears throat)

???: I see you had a boutique in Miami. "Floral Designs". Very nice. How many years have you worked in the designing industry?

Meiying: Five years.

???: Age?

Meiying: 21, sir.

???: Call me Mr. Suzuki. Your desk is next to Ms. Beth.

Meiying: Thank you.

As I stood to leave I couldn't help but blush at the thought of having him as my boss. a second later, though, a thought passed my mind. How could I love another man when my beloved hasn't got his revenge? Just then, I got a phone call from the police department. It was Officer Smith, a police officer working on the case. I knew if he was calling me in the middle of my job interview, it had to be something urgent. Mumbling my apologies, I went out of the office and went to the bathroom to pick up the call.
