The lights blinked to life with a click, illuminating the inside of the grand luxurious condo unit that she got for herself. Eagerly, the brunette pushed the door to a shut, locking it securely before entering the depths of her spacious well-furnished condo.

She heads towards the living room table and placed both her purse and the folder on it, afterwards stretching both her arms. It was already late, just by a quick glance through her window, Jade knew that she shouldn't venture outside of the safety of her unit anymore. Besides that, she did have to read through the information in the files that her father gave her since she knew nothing of what job and the company that her father wants her to try.

Could she really do it though? This is a first for her. She never had to work, all of her needs were taken care of by her father. She also had her brothers to fill in the important positions in the family,and she is pretty much used to not doing anything related to work.

Now its different, she had expectations to fulfill.

Of course her father didn't specifically tried to pressure her, but being a Tanchingco and being brought up in a family that's keen on success and good reputation, it made her feel dreadful for what was to come.

If she were to fail this job interview, what would that mean?

Surely it would just tell of how short she is of talent and skills, and Jade can only blame herself for her unproductivity and not being able to hone her skills after graduating from her course—even if let's say, the job she's pursuing isn't really in synch with her degree.

"Who am I fooling? I'm seriously dead." Jade groans, slumping on the couch, arms crossed and placed over her eyes to cover the blinding light from the fluorescent lights.

There were already a few scenarios playing in her mind and not one of them were any positive. They all range from her getting scolded to being mocked. It was all the worst scenarios she could ever think about.

"I really need to stop thinking badly." The brunette grumbles, pushing herself off from slouching to sit up straight. Her eyes immediately focuses on the folder on her table and Jade immediately reached for it, flipping it open to see the company's logo and profile in the first page.

Jade took out the papers and immediately set to read and study the company she's applying for. The more she knows, the higher her chance she'll get an idea of what she's up against. Maybe.

It was, after all, time to get past being known as the precious spoiled jewel, the unproductive Tanchingco heiress.

The very next morning, Jade woke up exactly at 7AM, the tell-tale blinking of the digital alarm clock on her small table giving her the inevitable proof of her own nervous and restless state.

She should still be sleeping, or so she wished. She was after all tired from reading and studying the company profile and their previous events and activities that they held.

The company that her father wants her to apply wasn't just a small company, this company was too prestigious as an events handler and caterer. She should've known her father wasn't going to ask for a place anything short from his expectations.

Eyes wide awake and a frown on her face, the brunette sits up, pushing off the comforter from her body as she slowly slid herself out of the comforts of her warm queen-size bed.

With both feet planted firmly on the soft carpet, the brunette stands up and heads straight for the her walk-in closet to prepare for the day. Better she start her early morning routines now than be stuck pondering and worrying on her bed. She still has to go through a few more paragraphs and information that she has yet to study thoroughly.
