I feel like fainting but that did not stop me from continue running.

If I don't continue running I'll be late. Shit, after my eating breakfast I had to still clean up the house as everyone wasn't going to help as they said they had other things to do and weren't keen on supporting me in getting an internship in Axel's company but that's the only option I have. They have agreed to let me after many persuasion of how I'll make them rich but they weren't supportive.

I kept on running still I saw the extremely tall skyscraper in the area. I knew it was his as he's the only one who has such a big building for business in the entire world.

At the top of the skyscraper was a bold sign saying, "Axel's industries." So yeah it's for him and that can't be missed.

At the gate, I told the gateman I was one of the interns and was late and he let me in immediately. Was so grateful to him but I wasn't off the hook yet as I still have to get to the fifth floor for my interview.

My interview is in two minutes and one of the things I've heard about getting a job at Axel's industries is that once you've missed your interview you've missed your entire life opportunity cause you'll never be hired anywhere else again and that can't be me.

I needed to be rich so even though my heart feels like giving up on me I still ran to the nearest elevator but made sure it was a public one as I don't want any trouble using a private one.

I pushed the button that would take me to the fifth floor and waited impatiently for the elevator's door to open so I could jump out.

I had just a minute less wait now is less, shit.

Even though I wasn't running anymore I still couldn't rest. My heartbeat accelerated and it pounded hard in my chest.

Finally, the doors opened and I jumped out.

"Miss Rhoda Hicks." A woman in a business suit like me called out. She was standing in the middle of many other people but was sitting down.

They were all dressed the same as me. Gosh, I wasn't the only one trying to leave an impression and it seems everyone wanted to leave the same impression as me or just copied the staff's here as most of everyone here wore this business suit. If they didn't wear that they'll wear a tight long skirt and a white shirt. Everyone looks professional.

"Yes!" I shouted immediately. "That's me."

She shook her head.

"Almost. You're lucky you came in just now." She studied my appearance and I believe I looked terrible as I was seriously sweating but that doesn't matter, what I want is a chance for the interview. I have a really good job recommendation from my teachers.

After some painful three seconds of thinking the worst and hoping I've still got a chance, she said, "Come with me."

I smiled broadly then followed her.

She lead me to an office then asked me to go in.

The office was beautiful and the interior design is just marvelous. This is just an office but it's almost the same size as my entire house, almost.

"Miss Rhoda Hicks?" A voice asked and I saw a woman behind the desk. She was looking down at a document with big glasses.

"Yes," I answered then walked towards her slowly.

"Sit." She instructed as she finally looked up to meet my eyes.

I obliged and sit down opposite her in one of the two vacant chairs.

"Don't give me any paper as I don't fucking need that to know who I'll hire but what I do need is your answers to some questions I'll be asking you." She began immediately then leaned back on her chair.

Shit and I spent years trying to get those recommendations from my teachers through hard work. This company already sucks.

"So what are the questions?" I asked. My answers came in between pants and it was then I realized I have been breathing heavily since. She must think I'm an idiot now.

The woman behind the desk is a stunning Blondy in a business suit as well and I have already begun to admire her as that's where I love to be, interviewing people, working, and getting rich.

"Question number one, if you had a really angry client who was obviously wrong and was mistreating you, what would you do?" She asked.

I thought. "I'll try to calm him down cause customers are always right then get my superior to handle as it should be," I answered professionally.

She did not have an approving nor a disapproving expression on her face instead she looked down at a file beside her and wrote something down.

"Next question, how rich do you want to be? Do you want to be super rich or want a moderate income or just content with anything offered as long as you got something to help you out financially?"

I thought for a while. What on earth was this trick question.

"Miss Rhoda." The woman spoke up again, "A little heads up, answer honestly."

Honestly?

"Well I'd like to get super-rich, really rich," I answered.

She nodded her head. "Yes, that's it. Answer honestly." She again writes something down.

"So I got that answer right?"

"Yes but sadly, everyone has gotten only that answer right."

Oh.

She laughed then questioned me further before she finally said I was dismissed and could go.

I went back to where everyone was sitting.

I sat down next to a brunette girl who sat away from everyone.

"So how did it go?" She asked immediately.

"Honestly? I have no idea."

We both laughed.

"My resume was useless and to think I stole it." She laughed. I turned to look at her strangely.

"Just kidding." She laughed. "I'm Alexa by the way." She introduced herself.

"Rhoda." I introduced myself as well.

"Gosh and to think I really need this job."

"I need this work too. We are seriously poor."

"Girl get in line cause you're not alone." Another girl sitting opposite us said. "I live in a one-room apartment with a family of six."

"All this is because of that stupid war." Alexa voiced out.

I sighed. "No wolf should have survived. Shit. Now everyone is under him." I voiced out as well.

"Hey!" Alexa suddenly jumped up and turned to me. "We might not get the job but we can still drink their coffee and I heard they've got really great coffee."

"Okay." I stood up as well and we walked to the coffee machine around the corner.

After we got our coffee, we were happily talking with Alexa. She's a cool person and she gets me a lot. Probably because we both are facing the same predicament.

Suddenly the atmosphere change and I got wolf vibes.

I turned to tell Alexa about Axel but I bumped into someone and poured my coffee on him.

Before I knew it I was thrown across the room and hit my back hard on the coffee machine.
