interview

'Wake up you sleepy head! ' Cristina shouted and kicked me out of bed. Thats when I realized people really do change.

'Oww... '

'Where did you learn that? ' I said referring to the kick.

' I Just know, I didnt know I can actually do a kick, let me try it again' she confidently said and tried to kick me again but I stood up immediately to avoid it, I don't want to be kicked again, it hurts.

Now, I realize I didn't get to see the whole place last night, I'm too tired to roam around. Though it's just a condo, small place.

Suzy's condo still has her things, the sofa, the bed, even the fridge, all her clothes are still there, the tv, all of them are filled with dust. I'm thankful for suzy, somehow my problems were lessened.

I stared at cristina who's starting to clean the place, and I also started removing the dust in every corner of the house, and we are both busy making the house squeaky clean.

Hours passed, we finally finished cleaning. I could see the Sweat on Cristina's shirt. Now we're sitting in the sofa facing the fan and took a rest. I never done this for the passed 5 years, and I tell you, I got tired easily compared to the last time I cleaned our house.

'So, did you find any job?' Cristina asked

'Oh yeah, I'm planning to search it online, so can I barrow your phone? ' I asked shyly. what can I do? I don't have have anything, not even a Penny to buy a phone.

'Here, don't worry I got you a phone. This is my old phone but it still work, somehow.' I hugged cristina to show how thankful I am. I wish I could repay her kindness.

I started searching for jobs on the internet. Critstina stood up and prepared food.

I thought it would be easy searching for a job, but its harder than I thought.

As Was scrolling on the job sites, I saw a poster 'wanted waitress? ' I clicked on the site and it's a pub 'MH pub (My Honey Pub), not really far from here, so that's a good point, I don't need to pay for transportation. So, I applied.

I got a message immediately from the said pub. And they asked me to come by tomorrow for an interview.

'Wow, your face tells me you got an interview, don't you? ' Cristina said and I smiled widely as I could. She could tell.

'Where was it? ' Cristina asked while she's putting the jam on the bread.

'MH pub.' I said and turned my attention to the phone again. I didn't hear her reply, but since I'm busy searching for job, I didn't mind.

I applied 3 jobs to be sure, If I didn't get pick in the pub, that's okay since I still have 2 pending jobs, if I got lucky.

'Have you heard about my brother? ' I suddenly asked. Cristina look at me with a sorry face, even if she don't tell me, by just looking in her face tells me everything.

'I'm sorry' she said, I smile and just nod. Where are you Jacob?

The whole day cristina and I were both busy in the house. We went out to buy some groceries, clothes and other things I needed personally, she even bought me skin care. Now were at home arranging the things we just bought. 'Hey, make sure you use that skin care. Look at your face? It's dry and ugh wrinkles everywhere' she said with disgust.

' are you insulting me? ' I asked

'No, it's a fact' she said. Yeah it's an insult. She's really my bestfriend, no doubt about it.

After all we've done today, finally morning comes.

I woke up early, ate my breakfast early and bath early. I am a bit nervous while I'm getting ready for the job interview at MH pub. I wore the yellow dress that Cristina bought for me yesterday, put on little make up and ta-da! I'm ready. Maybe not. 'Oh, it's quarter to 10, I should go' I mumbled and went outside.

15 minutes of ride, now I'm standing infront of the pub. From here, I could see how big but not too big the pub is. The structure is old but fashionable, but it's weird. It's far from the neighborhood. How could they get costumers in this isolated place?

I shrugged and went inside, and for my curiousity I was shocked. A lot of customers were dined in. But as much as I remember there are no cars outside. I Shook my head. 'They rode a taxi, yeah that's it. Taxi just like what I did' I mumbled.

'Excuse me, dine in? ' one of the waiter asked me.

'Ah, no I'm here for the job interview? ' I said

'Oh yeah, this way please' he said and smiled. His handsome, the dimples suit him but he's not my type.

We entered in a small and cozy room, in the middle there's an empty table, office table to be exact. There's nothing else except for the table and 2 chairs, one for the table and one for guest, I guess.

'Please stay here' he said and slammed the door behind me. I sat on the chair and waited whomever will enter the room.

Not too long, a man in a black suit entered the room with an expressionless face. He has dark eyes, thick and perfect eyebrow and thin lips, in short he's handsome and girls ideal type. But his aura, his presence is so heavy and dark and it makes me shiver with fear. He sat on the chair facing me and open the black folder that he was carrying when he entered the room.

'Amelia hundson? ' he asked without looking at me

'Yes' I said formally, though I am nervous, I should be confident and try to pull this off.

'Okay, you can start tomorrow' he said and close the black folder.

'Wh-- what? Aren't you going to look and read my resume? ' I asked. Whats the point of having an interview?

'Forget it' he said and opened his laptop.

' okay, he-- here, you should atleast take my resume' I said and put my resume in his table

'No, need I already have your information'

'What? You have my information? ' I asked

'Yeah, like you being an ex convict. ' he said.

I felt fire rising in my veins.

'You'd run a background check on me, without my consent? It's against the law!' I said with anger. How could he?

'Huh, law my foot. Just be thankful that I am letting you work here despite of you being an ex convict' finally I met his eyes. He looked at me with no expression and no emotion. He's a cold hearted asshole.

I was speechless. He's right, with my background no one will just hire me like they do.

He smiles at me, an expressionless smile.

'You can go, you're in the night shift' he said and turned his attention again to his computer.

I spun on my heels and get out the pub with an irritated and annoyed face. That jerk, he's lucky that I dont have any choice, cuz if I do, I'll definetly won't work here' tsk.

I looked at the pub one last time before I call a taxi.

This is really a weird pub.

After the interview i decided to visit suzy and fenny on the prison.

'Amelia!!! Fenny shouted

'Hi!' I said.

'Ohh, i miss you, i wanted to hug you but this stupid glass is the problem' fenny said and flinched the glass between us.

'So how's the outside world?' Suzy asked

'Completely different, by the way, thank you for the condo, it helped me a lot'

'Ahh, i forg--' suzy stopped as fenny interrupted her

'We thought you already forget about us'

'Of course not, I'm just busy finding a job' i said

'You got one?' Suzy asked

'Yeah' I shrugged.

'That's good, i mean its difficult to find a job specially when your an ex convict' suzy glared at fenny telling her to stop and shut up.

'You're right, i got lucky'.

'Luck dont last' suzy warned me.

And i nod. We just talk and talk like what we used to but not too long. The officer in charge signaled fenny and suzy that it's over.

'Ugh, come on! Just one more minute?' Fenny begged on the policewoman.

'No' she strictly said.

' bye Amelia, visit us again sometimes' suzy said and stood up.

'Bye' fenny said with a sad face.

I went home after that.

I changed my clothes to my pajamas and eat my lunch feat dinner.

I wonder why they hired me?, I'm an ex convict but despite that I was able to finish my college before I got prisoned, Maybe I just got lucky.

Nevermind, I should just be thankful to them on hiring me instead of suspecting them.
