Corporate The Dark Side

Monday Morning 9 AmMike was in his apartment getting ready for his interview. He wants to crack this interview at any cost. He was in desperate need of a job now. It's been 3 months since he has moved from Texas to New York for a good job opportunity but no job has fit into his shoes. Sometimes the job profile description and the actual job don't match his skillsets, other times the pay is too low, sometimes the company is not as per the standard. But now it's high time. He somehow needs to get this job.Mike looked at the wall clock and almost shouted " Shit I have to skip breakfast else I will be late."His roomie Jeff who is lying lazily on the bed has just woken up from sleep. Still half asleep he murmured to Mike "Just check the g****e map bro. Why are you so tense?"Mike takes the phone in his hand and checks g****e map. He cried "Damn the whole route is showing red. I am going to be late.""Don't you think you should have skipped last night movie to sleep early?" Jeff said stil

Third Person's POVThe next day Mike is dressed in formal attire and left for the office in the morning at 9 am.Thankfully yesterday I had ample time after the interview to iron my outfit, polish the shoes, and organize my office bag.

The next day Mike got up a bit early, showered, and head to the kitchen to make breakfast. Jeff was still sleeping in his room. He might have come home really late.  Mike thought. Mike was feeling really tired due to the last hectic day so instead of making breakfast he just poured a glass of milk for him. He had the milk and got ready.

Mike's POVIt was Saturday today. After the hectic week, it was time to relax today. Also, it was Catherine's birthday party. After knowing about Catherine and Lucas I didn't feel like going but since she had insisted so much the other day I am left with no option but to go. I didn't ask David to accompany me as he already advised me to stay away from her. So I thought of asking Jeff my roomie if he can accompany me.
