EMPLOYED

WRITER'S POV

“I am done for,” Karen mumbled, sprawled on the floor.

She looked at the door that just went shut where Jay had disappeared into. Was he aware?

Was it just her eyes or did she really see a hint of smirk in his face?

She couldn't tell but one thing was certain, she could not accept this job.

But she needed it. She needed it so desperately.

She sighed heavily and began to pull herself up from the floor.

Karen couldn't help but think of her luck as she trudged home.

She was just about to call Tina when her phone started ringing.

It was Tina calling.

“So much for I will be posted to one of their subsidiaries…” Karen muttered and stared fixedly at her ringing phone.

“I was just about to you…”

“How was it? Do you think you did well in the interview? How were their faces?” Tina’s questions bombarded Karen's ears. She had to slightly shift her phone away from her ears.

“You said Mr Jay wouldn't be there.”

“Wait…was he present? Really?! That's strange.”

“Yes. Very strange,”
