Chapter 3 Interview day

My alarm woke me at exactly 5am and I am in good mood because today is Interview day!

I start my day by getting a bread from Scar's pantry for my toast and an egg from Scar's fridge oh and also a water from her pitcher.

After the incident wherein I ask her if she can give me food she told me to help myself. So Here I am helping myself on her food supplies. Bless her heart such a good soul.

 I cook my food and after that I take a bath and whatever we girls do in our bathroom. I open my luggage to see what outfit should I wear for my interview. My wardrobe is so vast *note the sarcasm* 

I can only pick one outfit which is my uniform at the diner which consist of a black slacks, a black flat shoes, a white short sleeves polo shirt. 

I looked at the mirror and comb my shoulder length black hair. I adjusted my eyeglasses and fix any wrinkles that can be seen on my clothes. I put some chapsticks on my lips so I don't look like dehydrated.

My brown eyes are twinkling from excitement. This is it! This interview will make or break my future here in New York.  I look at myself at the mirror one last time and grab my bag made my way out of the apartment.

I ask Scar about the transportation here and how can I reach the place for my interview.

 She told me walk 5 blocks  then there is a train station. I need to get off the train on the third station and across the street the tallest building is my office.

 You might wonder why all her instructions has no street name or anything because I am bad at names. There is a big chance that I'll get lost if she told me names instead of numbers.

I can describe New York transpo in one word. Insane. There are so many people! Yellow taxis everywhere! The traffic is not moving at all. The people all walks fast as if hell hounds of hell is chasing them.

When I am watching them it gave me a feeling that I was late for work which thankfully I am not. Their phase gives me the impression that every second counts in this place. Compared to me I was walking like I have all  the time in my hand.

I went out on the train station and look for the tallest building and I was not dissapointed.
 Standing in front of me is a 100 floors sky scraper that has silver steel on the corner with a name Rosen-Hower corp. There is only one question in my mind as of the moment. How can they clean all their windows outside the building?
I look at my watch and check the time. I have one hour to spare. As I walk near the building there is 4 revolving doors and 4 automatic glass door. What-the-actual-fudge? How many doors does a building should have?
 I enter the building and there is a guard on each door. There is a machine in front of the guard that scan the ID's of the employees.

As I near one guard He stops me and ask for my business. Business? What business?

"I don't have business sir but maybe someday. Instead I have an interview."

The guard in a  suit looked at me like I am insane and call someone on his one piece earphone. Wait. Isn't  earphones comes in pair?
Why does he only have one? I look at the other guards and they also has only one earphone? Does the company have small budget because they let their guards share 4 pairs of earphone and cut the cord and distribute it to them? but I can not see any cord. weird.

"You can Go in mam. Take the elavator and press number 10 look for miss madeline."

He click something on the machine and the door automatically opens.
I thank the guard and made my way through the reception. The wall is painted in light brown with grey and so many colors. There is a chandelier at the center that sparkles brightly. All of the employees here are immaculately dressed. All in a business suit.
I look out of place in this place but that does not deter me and charge my way through the elevator and tell the elevator lady to press number 10.
