Back to the present
I Hardly slept the whole night. I was just thinking about the job interview and the Job that I might be lucky to get. The last six months have been full of hustle . I have done all causal jobs to see that perhaps I get a living. Mrs Pierce had given me a reasonable amount of money though according to her she considered it go be so small. No single day has been passing without me going around to get a job. The worst disadvantage in my seek for jobs was my age. No one wanted to give a seventeen year old girl any job that easily. I used to get one day jobs and was so great full for each opportunity that came my way.
Then about two months ago, I have a friend June who worked at a certain cafe that I worked for about two weeks , she called me telling my their was a job offer of a maid. However she warned me that they wanted someone who is eighteen years and above. I made up my mind that I will apply.. Since I am only a fe months to my birthday day. So today on the day of my job interview, I am exactly two months to my eighteenth birthday.
I finally got up from the small apartment that I co rent with a certain lady though she has not been around for the last two weeks. I had no idea I will be feeling nervous when going for this damn interview. I once again re read the email making sure that I don't miss out anything or even misinterpret anything.

8:00am found me admiring the building , oh my god, I had no idea what I was going to do in such a place. I thought I was going to do an interview from a certain home...anyway rich people have a funny way of living. I decide to mind my own business. I remember to check if every thing is there in my bag.. Then I hit on something hard, rather something hard hits me.
"Ouch!" I curse out absorbing the pain.
"What the hell !" I all I hear and raising my head, there is no sign of anybody but I see the last physic of a a man get into the building.. How I wish I got a chance, I could show him his place in this world. The last few months I have learnt to become so bold and u an no longer afraid of people just like that...hope what I am saying is true or else.
I ignored whoever he was and decided to compose myself and therefore getting into the building.
"Hello, good morning" I greeted the receptionist who replied with a smile on her face and this shown me that she might be a friendly person.
"I am here for the job interview scheduled for exactly 8:00am" I told her trying to act as composed as possible.
"Yes, there is definitely a job interview , I will show you where it is " she said as she directed where I am supposed to go.
"You can enter and sit along with the others" she says to me and with that she turns back heading towards her desk. There are around five girls who I believe they are all elder than me. I still can not believe that a job interview for a maid job is supposed to be done here . I thought maybe it is supposed to be carried out in a house where the job is . Is it me who maybe misinterpreted the message.
I turn to the girl who is just a few meters away from where I am determined to ask her but before I am even able to say anything, the door opens revealing a lady who appears to be about 40years of age.
"Good morning everyone" she greets us all and that is when I recognise that voice. She is the one that called me yesterday telling me about the interview.
"Hope you are all ready, the interview will starting in about 10minutes , so you are all supposed to be ready " she adds and with that she gets out of the room. I thought I was so confident and the likes but it is like it was just a mere act. I can feel my heart beginning to race. The last few months I have been doing numerous interviews but nothing like this..I think.
Soon the interviews started and one by one of those who are supposed to go in for the interview are called and the first three come out with frown faces and that is of course a sign that they have not been successful. Hope I don't get out like...
"Mia Anderson" I hear the name. I had no idea the lady was already back and I am the one being called yo go in for the interview. My whole life right now depends on it and therefore I have to be very careful about it.
"Yes..I mean I am here madam" I say with a panic which makes the two remaining girls to giggle out at me but I don't care anyways. I have gone through so much more more things than that.
"Okay , you are supposed to go in " the lady says to me and she gets back
***
"So how old are you ?" The lady at the extreme end started just like that. They are four ladies but the one at the extreme end seems to be the boss..maybe . She is about 50years. Maybe she is the one that I am going to be working for. She looks a cool lady.
"18years " I say casually. I made up my mind to lie that I am eighteen years . I am fed up of losing my job offers each day because everyone believes I am still a minor.
"Sure , you look younger than your age " she insists .
"I turned eighteen four months ago." I go on to add on my lie.
"Okay," she finally says maybe believing that I have told her the truth.
"Have you ever been a Maud before ?" She asks the others just writing whatever they are writing on their papers.
"Not really but I believe I can do it perfectly well" I try to convince her. She goes on to ask me questions. Surprisingly they are just normal questions that are not difficult at all. In about thirty minutes, she is done and she turns to the others and the two discuss things I am not able to hear for roughly ten minutes. Whatever they are discussing, hope it is in my favour..
"Okay, we have come to a conclusion and decided to offer you a job " that is all I needed and I am already skipping like a young child
"Thanks so much, I promise to do my very best " I say so much excited at the offer .
"But before anything else, you need to know where exactly you are going to work " the shorter Lady who is in the middle talks for the first time since I got into the room.
"We are sorry that the interview was here , The hone was going through some sort of renovations."
"You are to to work for two but mainly one person and you will have to be accommodated" she adds on.
By the time I leave the building I am positive that I have been given the job and I am only supposed to go get my property home and have to begin work today at 5:00pm..
