past sorrow

fl's pov

hi,

I am pai lixi I am an orphan I just started living a life in the harsh world....I am working part time to support myself as I am a college student...I have two best friends who are always supportive of me and they are really good to me...

we completed our studies together and later I started to look for a job....as for my major it is arts

so I have applied for few jobs already...

Today is my first interview and I am really nervous.....I seem to be sweating...'huff-- hope it goes well'

I woke early on the day of the interview and wore one of my favourite clothes so that they could give me some confidence....

while I was on my way for the interview(while passing a narrow lane)....I heard someone shout "'help this old lady...they are robbing me in broad daylight"' I ran toward the voice only to meet with few hooligans who were trying grab money from a poor old lady...and were hitting her too

I ran to her without thinking much and swung my bag toward those hooligans...and went toward the old lady and supported her up and soon those hooligans came back to their senses...and ran towards me in an attempt to kick me..."'boom"' the man heavy landed few inches away...those other hooligans were dumbfounded...but the so called leader of the gang ordered"" she is just a girl what are u guys fearing about she can't outweigh us in number" indeed these words were like reassurance for them....They charged towards me like crazy...'Indeed I have learnt some self defence but I can't defeat all of them' and they were physically very strong too....I reached toward my phone in an attempt to call for help....but "smashed" my phone was smashed down by them...I punched him...it was all I could do...fight them!!

But soon a man took a knife out and pointed it towards me...I was scared...'who doesn't when they are about to die'.... and thought of the interview that I was going to miss...which was important for me...i shouldn't have come here without a backup plan....I thought of something... 'weren't they after money..why not offer it to them' I asked him to leave me off and I would give him all the money I have... but didn't expect him to say " you are quite pretty why not have fun with us and then we will let you off... hahaha...who asked you to interfere...."...they approached me slowly....when a man was staring at my chest...I was disgusted and slapped him on his face

....He was burning in rage and slapped me too which caught me off guard...wait something is not right...That smell...it is weakening me...he then approached me ....

Trying to rape me....'I panicked'...shouted for help and closed my eyes in resignation... It was silent..yeah..silent..there was no sound I opened an eye and took a peek...

And what came in to my view was...

A very handsome looking...he seems to be shining...perfect feature...perfect body.......'wait this is not the time to think of these things...what was I thinking. gosh' the man stretched out his hand to me...I was mesmerized by the visage and even..fell for him for a second but I....seems to have misjudged him...He just turned around and started leaving....Leaving me dumbfounded......And that expression of his after looking at me as if I was some pile of dirt.....'what was that' I was really annoyed by that action and shouted 'how rude...leaving a person in danger and not caring of a life'...soon the words left my mouth... he turned around.... giving me a cold look... as if he wanted to kill me....I was scared off by that look....it sended chills down my spine....and I took a step back subconsciously...no sooner he turned and left as if he was not the one who helped me just now....I was even thinking whether I was hallucinating all this...Then something clicked inside me and I realised I was getting late for my interview...then I stood up and dusted myself off....and started to walk toward the location of interview (bai corporation)...while walking on the way... I saw a mirror so I thought of checking out myself and I was shocked by my appearance....'Is this me?' I was all covered in dust and my makeup was ruined and suddenly remembered that look (flashback of ml and fl scene ) OMG!! how embarrassing...and now I understood why he gave me that kind of look.....'Aish....it was too embarrassing and I even shouted at him for a no proper reason'....I found a nearby coffee shop nearby to freshen up myself and to retouch the makeup and then left for the interview.....As I was standing infront of the building i was marveled by the sight...'the building is extravagant' it was big as I entered and asked about the interview the assistant took me to the interview place and asked me to wait there outside

There were many other women too waiting in the area who looked talented and experienced.....but I was confident in my work and prepared fo the battle....As I was waiting for my turn ( the interview was about personal assistant to the president of bai corporation which was one of the world's leading company ) I was revising and checking my work for the interview then someone shouted "'ms.pai lixi"' I was startled by the shout I hurriedly woke up from my seat and went in to the room...The president was the interviewer himself....so I was quite nervous...I entered the room and stood in front of him. His chair was facing the opposite to the door so I couldn't see what his face looks like....His cold voice sounded..."Take a seat" I took the seat infront of him and was taking out my files from my bag....it was then he turned around I bowed and greeted him and soon as I looked up....I was shocked......'ahh...isn't he the mr.handsome...ahem...I mean the person who helped me this morning'l an on whom I shouted' I turned pale.....
