Destined to be together

Chapter 3

" I saw that you will be taking the interview. Good luck with that. I'm sure you will get it" she said laying her hand on my shoulder comforting me.

My eyes became blurry.

Why does she trust me so much?

I gave her a soft smile sniffing, I'll try my best Mrs. Johnson.

"Great, I'll see you later then." she parted giving me a comforting smile.

Okay, I can do this. I have to get this internship. This is my only opportunity and I don't want to regret later for not doing my best.

I cheered myself up and headed towards the interview a little more confident than before.

It's been 45 minutes I'm sitting outside the door already five people came out screaming that they have got the internship.

They are so lucky.

" I heard they will only choose 10 people and 5 people are already selected I don't think there is any chance for me," a girl beside me said.

My anxiety increasing with every minute passing.

Why aren't they calling me?

One by one all the names were called.

I 'm going to be the last one, great.

I keep on motivating myself but that doesn't seem to work much.

"April Adams."

Finally!
Okay, okay... relax ... you can do it.... you have to do it.... just breathe..... breathe.....

My hand started to sweat and become ice cold. My whole body shaking.

okay.... here we go.....

I entered the room lowering my gaze, too scared to lookup

" Have a seat." the man taking my interview said.

I took my seat.

Then there was a pause.
A long pause.

what's wrong?
Do I look weird?
Is something on my face?
Is something wrong with me?

A thousand thoughts came rushing to me.
I held my hand tightly.

breathe......breathe.....

After what feels like an eternity the man finally spoke up.

"April Adams....."

I gathered all my courage and look up at him

yes sir.

"Tell me why do you think we should hire you at our company?"

s..sir I- I think.....

"Oh wait a minute....." the man suddenly said cutting my words.

" Your CV says you are a responsible and devoted person are you sure about that?"

I was shocked by the sudden question.

Breathe........ breathe.

The man looked directly in my eye.

"Do you think sleeping in the middle of the presentation is something a responsible and devoted person would do?"

What is he talking abo.....

He is the man..... he was the one staring at me from the stage.....

I was so terrified of his sudden attack. I lost my ability to speak. I tried to open my mouth but it didn't move.

what am I even going to say?

A tear escaped my eyes.
I gather all my strength and finally spoke up.

I- I... am sorry.

"Do you remember what I said at the stage?" he asked throwing my CV on the desk.

" Martínez enterprise doesn't allow any irresponsible, and worthless candidates who don't understand and value the worth of being a part of our company. So I warn you beforehand if you do not respect and value our company doesn't even think of applying here."

His words came back ringing in my head.

Another tear escaped my eyes.

"you may leave now," he said coldly looking in my eyes. Disgust was clear in his face.

That's it. It is over. My only chance to survive. The only ray of hope was gone from my life.

I quickly wiped my tears

Sir.....

"Get out" he growled shaking my whole body in fear.

I stumbled getting up from my blurred vision.
I took the papers and left the room.
