Arranged Marriage

Chapter 36

Ariana's POV

Interviews... Interviews... Interviews...

Rejected... Rejected... Rejected...

Yes, that's the simplest conclusion of my day so far.

Currently, this is my sixth round of the interview.

"Ms Grande, tell me why should we hire you?", a man with a tidy uniform on asked me with a scarily serious tone.

"I... I... Because I... I think I am a hardworking person. I am not afraid of overwork, I... I will try everything to... to achieve something for this company.", I stuttered a little as I was so anxious and nervous, but I knew I messed up everything again for the sixth time.

The man shook his head a little and flipped through the informations about me, he questioned me without showing any emotion "Well, based on your resume, you didn't graduate from college. You were dropped out and your result was pretty...".

He paused a little to figure out an adjective to describe my result and continued "Average.".

He returned me my resume and my information document, he apologized to me "I am sorry, Ms Grande. We are looking for a person who's more experience. I am sorry to tell you that we can't hire you.".

I took a deep breathe and nodded for understanding, I thanked him with a forceful smile before I exited the gigantic building "Thank you so much.".

After leaving the terrifyingly scary place, my heart was filled with a very complicated feeling as I was walking in a crowded street alone.

Looking at the people on the busy street with tidy uniforms on and a briefcase in everyone's hand, I started doubting myself by asking myself "When can I actually get an actual job and started counting down the amount of the money I needed to pay for Justin.".

I felt like a failure sometime because I can't even manage to settle a simple thing. The economic of the country is going down and the rate of jobless people is increasing year by year. This is a really big concern to me.

Taking a seat on a bench on the street, I took a deep breath and started murmuring "Ariana, when will you get an actual good job? Why are you being such an idiot?".

Suddenly, my phone ringtone interrupted my thought.

"Hello.", I said in a monotone after answering the phone call without looking at the caller ID.

"What's happening? You sound so down.", the familiar raspy tone said softly in the phone call.

I bit my lips and sighed in defeat "Justin, I feel so terrible right now. I can't even make those interviewers nod their heads for once. I am so...".

He cut me off by saying "Shut up. Don't you ever doubt yourself like that, you are perfect. Nothing is over until you give up. You are just a beginner, it takes time.".

"No, you don't understand. I...", I was attempting to argue with him but he cut me off by chuckling in the phone call.

"Let's play a game, you need to arrange the sequence of these five words to build a sentence 'Nick, Love, In, Is, Me'. You must use these five words without adding anything or making any change on these five words.", he chuckled in his phone call.
