"You're going to the interview today?", Lisa asked from the other line of the phone. It was Saturday morning and Rosie decided to call Lisa for an advice.

"Yeah... They want to meet me today. Immediately," Rosie murmured as her hands hovered through her hanging clothes. "Ahhh! I don't know what to wear! All my clothes are so plain", she whined.

Lisa was heard giggling. "No they aren't! Just wear a comfy one."

"I want to wear my jeans..."

"Are you kidding me? No jeans! Wear your skirt or dress."

"But what's the use? They don't care about what I wear anyway if I manage to sound intelligent with my answers."

"First impression, Rosie... They're all super important. Trust me with this one."

"Mmhm... Hold on, do you remember my nude colored sweater that I wore a few weeks ago?"

"Oh, yeah! Wear that one!"

"This looks so good with my black jeans..."

"Park Roseanne!"

"Just kidding. Uh, will it be appropriate if I pair it with a checkered skirt?"

"Absolutely! I can't really picture it right now so send me a pic once you wear them, okay?"

"Yes, miss- oh, I'm almost late! Talk to you later, Lisa."

"Don't forget to update me!", Lisa said before the phone call got disconnected.

Rosie glanced at the clock. It was 9.15 am. The distance from her place to the cafe where the recruiter wanted to meet her was only fifteen minutes. She figured that she could arrive there thirty minutes earlier than the planned meeting time. She didn't want to feel more pressured and anxious so she had to be there early. Also, being early should be considered as a good first impression, right?

When Rosie had arrived, the cafe looked less packed than the usual. There were only several table that were occupied. Maybe it was because the breakfast time was already over, and lunch was still a few hours away. Rosie immediately searched through the whole room and her gaze met a pair of serious looking eyes who was sitting alone. He was dressed in black sweater with a white collared shirt inside. He kept staring at Rosie and it felt really uncomfortable.

Rosie decided to choose the table that was seated by the window. That position was far enough from the creepy man's seat, plus his view must've been blocked by the pillar that stood in the middle of the cafe. When Rosie was adjusting her position, her phone suddenly vibrated.
