Mila pov
" Months had passed by so quickly and there was nothing from the job profile Maya had set up for me and I was gradually losing hope of ever finding something better than this job I'm currently working at
As always I went for my afternoon shift at the coffee shop and I dreaded every moment I had to spend there
Good Afternoon Maya, " I greeted her as I walked into the shop and went straight to get all set up
Mila darling how are you this fine sunny day, " Maya replied with all smiles on her face
I'm good, " I Nodded in response feeling quite supisious of Maya's weird happiness
Maya..... What are you up to? " I asked her as I scanned her face for my own answers
Nothing Mila... Can't I be just happy today, " Maya replied nervously as she went back to making the coffee
Knowing something was definitely up, I decided to ignore it as I went to get started on work
But I couldn't just concentrate as I could hear Maya consistent groaning as if she was having some kind of internal battle within her
I tried my possible best to ignore her but I just couldn't any longer as I turned to her looking at her with a concern look in my eyes
Maya... " I called out for her as I knew deep down that she wanted so bad to tell me something
" Maya soon looked up at me her eyes showing remorse
Maya ... What's the matter with you ? " I asked looking straight at her with my arms crossed
Instantly there was an indescribable silence between us as Maya looked at me, her hands fidgeting with her apron
Maya...." I softly yelled out her name
Fine Mila.... A friend of mine today told me about a hiring, so i kind of got you an interview at Harris construction company next Thursday ," she said out loud
What.....? Hearing those words put me in absolute shock. Me.. go to an interview at Harris construction company.... No i just can't, " I cried to myself
Mila I know what your are thinking, but all that doesn't matter okay , all you need to know is that you need this
This was the only opening in months Mila so you have to take it whether you like it or not OK," Maya said with a stern expression on her face
But Harris construction company, they are like the big shot around here, do you think they would want to hire someone like me ?" I tried to protest
Oh my goodness Mila you can't know if you don't try sweetie," Maya tried to reassure me
But... " I tried to protest again
Stop OK... you are going and that is finally because you don't know who I had to screw to get you that spot at that interview," she ordered as she ignored me and went back to work leaving me to battle my thoughts on my own
.................
" The days flew by in no time as it was already Thursday and time for my interview at the prestigious Harris construction company
" I couldn't sleep all night long as different thoughts and emotions ran wild in my mind, never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I did get an interview at Harris construction company and now I'm only hours away from getting a job there
" My mom who was beyond excited and happy came knocking at my door as always urging me to get ready on time while Maya sent me her best wishes tell me she was going to cover for me at the coffee shop as I had an early morning shift
" Already dressed and ready, I looked into the mirror mentally preparing myself for what to come
I can do this, " I told myself incessantly as I took a deep breath
" So I quickly had my breakfast and rushed out of my house praying to the universe that this time it would be different
It took me almost half an hour to get to the Harris construction company as I took a deep breath looking up at the tall buildings before me
Closing my eyes I mentally willed my to walk through those doors as the nerve were threatening to choke me to death
It took everything within me to walk in through those doors as I went straight for the brunette receptionist sit across the counter
Hello my name is Mila Brown, I'm here for the interview," I said trying to act as confident as possible
"Nodding her head the brunette haired receptionist soon point me in the direction of where the interview was going to be held
" Shivering in pure fright as the nerves was gradually eating deep within me, I kept my fingers crossed with hopes that this time wouldn't be like the rest of them
Talking my sit as I waited for my turn to come, I consciously scanned the office admiring it's beautiful setting with all it's expensive light and painting
So engrossed in the beauty of this place that I didn't know when I was being called in
Miss Brown ..... The secretary called out for me as i was immediately brought back to reality
Nodding my head in response smiling back at her as I quickly rushed into the office
Looking up at the Lady who was sitted and extremely focused on her computer, I smiled greetin and answering all her question as efficiently as possible
Miss Brown, that would be all for now, we would be in touch, " she finally let out after so many minutes of silence
OK thank you, " I murmured in response as I was not sure of what to make of that statement
"Was it a good sign or a bad sign..... Other companies I had interviewed at told me up front that they hated me ,so I didn't really know what to make of this," I said to myself as I walked out of the company and went straight to the coffee shop
Walking into the shop to see Maya was there with so much optimism and hope written all over her as she was obviously waiting for news about my interview
So.....? " she asked urging me to tell her everything
They told me they would keep in touch, " I said as I could see her face fall in an instant
So we wait then, " she said trying to be hopeful
.............
" The Weeks had passed by so quickly and still nothing from them as everyday that passes each phone call felt like that special one
Maya told me not to lose hope that she was confident was I was going to get this one , but who could know these things maybe luck was not on my side as always
" So I put all my energy into my work at the coffee shop as I tried to drown out all the negative thoughts that are threatening to choke me
Maya and I was discussing about her lastest male conquest when I heard my phone ring, immediately a thousand and one thoughts ran through my mind
" Maybe this was the call I had been waiting for or maybe it was my commitments asking for the debt I owed them," I asked myself over and over again
Reluctantly I picked up my phone answer it softly
Mila Brown speaking, " I murmured softly through the phone as I my heart beats deafened in anticipation
" What I heard seconds later instantly put a smile on my face as I jumped and squealed in excitement
Thank you so much," I said happily as I couldn't contain my joy
" Ending the call I turned to Maya with all smiles on my face as she became curious of what I was so happy about
What got you excited and happy, " she asked curiously
I got it Maya... I got the job at Harris construction company, " I screamed and jumped in excitement
Oh my goodness Mila, I knew you would get it , " Maya said happily as she jumped along with me
Finally, I just knew deep down that this would be a start of a new adventure and I just couldn't wait...
Mila finally got the job would it be a start of something new or a start of a living nightmare
