chapter one

Life here in the city isn't easy as people back home in the upcountry think.you know back home people over there that all the people living in the city are stinging rich,but little do they know that people here struggle like crazy just to put food on the table.Take an example of me and my sister we live in tiny apartment downtown where the street lights don't work,thugs waiting for those coming back from work to steal their pay, drugs seller's and users recite there a place where even the police with guns fear.Reader your question is,why live in a shitty place like that?simply because the rent there is cheap like bread prices.

My sister complains every time how I don't work harder to get us out of this hell hole ,No she doesn't know the struggle here is real and how did get to this point,our parents died in a car accident after their burial was done I knew that we could only depend on our selfs, the only family remaining was me and my sister and it's not like we were filthy rich when our parents were still alive the struggle was the same as now but I, decided to up my game come to the find well paying job educate myself and my sister and end Rich like people back home think all city dweller's are rich.

Today I pulled up in my well fitting skirt suits that emphasized my well structured body, beautiful curves and all. I made sure I groomed well you as the saying goes first empress ions are always important,am so confident with my clothes I see this kind of fashion wear on Instagram not that it's as expensive and classy as those but sure it can work for this important day .

I am going to the biggest, tallest and perfect building in this city Z , JAMES GROUPS OF ENGINEERING this I like a joke trying job opportunity in one of the most competitive companies in city Z actually it's the biggest company.I think I hit something in the head this morning that is why my isn't functioning properly.putting my thoughts a side I hail a cab and head to James groups.

my body turned cold like I had been washed with iced water,all the confidence I had about my clothing before was swept with the wind and now I regret coming here at all,But am here now and I can't go back people here have the perfect suits like that you see in the movies especially my favorite movie I watched on Netflix The Diplomat, this are what people here wear.Designer SUITS.

My studies are still not well appreciated because I am in my third year in the university pursuing civil engineering so technically what I will apply here in this company is to be a Secretary, cleaning lady or errands girl.

I headed to the receptionist to drop my name at the desk to get pass info.The receptionist was quite nice a beautiful brown skin girl with round eyes and perfectly done make up."hello and good morning my name is Cindy and I come here to apply for a job"I said ."good morning Cindy go to the right there is the elevator go to fifth floor interviews are done there many applicants are there already,good luck"she said and I thanked her and headed to the elevator Pressed to open and waited for the elevator door to open surprisingly it didn't take long it opened and no one was inside got in headed to fifth floor finally it opened and I went out .

In this there were not so many people compared to the ground floor,in here people worked silently and flawlessly or because interviews were done here.

Applicants sat on the bench waiting for their turn to be interviewed one by one,me too sat on the bench and waited for my turn even though deep down in my heart I knew my chances of getting hired were almost 0%.These applicants look like they are workers of this company now not later.

I think I was the last person coming for an interview because after no one else came in to queue,one after another went in and out and only three were people remaining to be interviewed,I made sure my documents were set to go and that were my nervous mode kicked in I was so nervous with good reasons will they hire third year student almost like a drop out cause technically I am like a drop out I don't know how I go back to school without school fees .
