Elena's POV

I move around my room, trying to figure out where to start cleaning. I decide to start with playing music first, I grab my phone and go to my music, and put it on shuffle, then I make a quick sprint to my kitchen so I can get a big tumbler.

I put the tumbler on the dressing table in my room and put my phone in so the music is louder. Girls like you, starts to play and I immediately go to make my bed, and while at it I decide to also change my sheets.

By the time Mi persona favorita started playing I was picking up all my clothes and whatever else was on the floor.

I'm so glad that I actually got time to clean my room up because this place was slowly turning into a pigsty. With me being busy job hunting I barely had time for myself, I'd just get up, and take care of my hygiene then I'd be out the whole day either submitting my CVs to companies or going for interviews.

But today I got up late and thankfully I never had any interviews today.

I manage to put all the dirty clothes and linen into a basket and just as I'm about to proceed with sweeping, I hear 'Perfect two' start to play but I realised that it'd started laying halfway through 'La modelo' meaning that I was receiving a call.

I managed to get to my phone just in time, and I answered before it would go off.

"Hello?" I speak on the phone.

"Hi, am I speaking to Miss Elena Parke?" the person asks, and I noticed that she talking to me as if she was forced to make this call.

"Yes, it is, uhm, who am I speaking to?"

"This is Stella from Parker&Co, I called to notify you that you have been selected as Mr. Parker's assistant. You start on Monday, please be here at 08h00, and when you get here just please go to the last floor and you'll be told to do from there. Okay?" she spoke back quickly to me. What happened to being nice on the phone, isn't it good for the business' image? So I don't get why she's being so hostile towards me.

" Uhm, sure. But can I ask why I'm only getting a call now when I applied there over a month ago?" I asked, clearly confused that I'm getting a call so late, I'd already lost all hope in that company.

"I don't know why you're bothered by that, you should be glad that you've got the job." wow, is she not rude.

"I'll be there on Monday at eight sharp." I said, not wanting to get into an argument with her on the phone.

"Great." and just like that she cut the call.

Though I was confused on why she would talk like that on the company phone. I mean what if I went around telling potential business owners about how people are treated at that company, they'd suffer a great loss.

Clearing my mind of those thoughts I stop the music and get in a group call with Abby and José. Abby, José and I have been since high school, I knew Abby through her cousin who I was in the same primary as and José was a new girl, who had been transfered to our school.

So since then we've been inseparable even though Abby and José are always on each other's throats. Abby is dark and melanin like me but Jose on the other hand is one beautiful Brazilian, with long beautiful black hair. Even though I love my afro, I'd also like to have her hair for maybe just a day. And she uses that beauty to her advantage as she is a model and Abby is also in business. She is a secretary at Knight Industries.

"You are flippin lucky that it's my lunch, this better be important since you've disturbed my lunch." Abby starts with her rambling.

"Nice to hear your voice too Abby, and yes this is important."

"Well you better get to it, because my break will be over in I think six minutes so make it snappy."

"I'll get to it I'm just waiting for Jo...."

"Yesss.. my putas!" (bitches) Jose shouts on the phones.

"Jose" I say finishing off my sentence that Jojo had cut off with her loud self.

"Okay, she's here now so get to it child." Abby says

"So I'm guessing you guys are talking about me so yah, get to it." Jose says

"I finaaaaally got a jooooooob!!" I shriek into the phone.

"Oh my goodness, where?!" Abby questions, but I can tell she's excited

"Oh yes! My baby finally got a job! We firstly have to celebrate this and you wait how you'll be left bankrupt once you recieve that first paycheck of yours." Jose says in a song song manner, I chuckle at how she wants leave me bankrupt.

"Yes, I agree. We should celebrate, I need a break from work anyways. Saturday night we are going to one of my boss's clubs to celebrate." Abby says in such a tone that we wouldn't even bother saying otherwise.

"Oh she finally agrees with meee!" Jose shrieks

I chuckle again, "You guys though, well I'm up for it because I do start on Monday anyways."

"Great so it's settled then we are going to celebrate and get ourselves men."

"No Jose, no men. We are just celebrating Elena's new job with a few drinks and some dancing nothing else, nothing else I repeat." Abby says sounding like our mom. I giggle but cover it up because I don't wanna annoy her.

"Argh, I don't why you got to be such a killjoy Abb." Jose replies sounding disappointed.

"I'm not being a killjoy, I'm trying to be responsible. And bye, we'll talk later, my break is over. Muah" Abby retaliated before hanging up.

"Yah yah responsible, anyways congrats on the new job Lena. I'll talk to you later, I have to get ready for a shoot." Jo says before banging up as well.

I sit for a while trying to digest that I've just got a job and that I'll be celebrating it with my friends on Saturday which is just two days from now and I can't help but think if life can get any better.

I continue playing music as I go about continuing with my chores for the day.
