“Here goes nothing” I said to myself as I walked into Mason Realty, that cold afternoon.
I was tired from the long walk round the streets of Texas city looking for the position of a secretary, Mason Realty was going to be the last company I was going to try out in Bunyard street before I retire for the day.

I entered into the office and headed towards the receptionist,
“Hello, I’m Melanie Adams, I’d like to inquire if there is vacancy for the position of a secretary here”
“Hi, I’m Sarah, sorry there are no vacancies, but you can drop your application, and I’d call you if there is a need for one” she replied nicely, that’s the nicest response I’ve gotten from a receptionist all day.
I submitted the necessary credentials, and left, silently praying the current secretary was going to be relieved of her job today, I know that’s an evil prayer, but really, a girl can hope.
I decided to take the long walk home since I didn’t have any money left on me to take the bus.
I regretted that afterwards, just when I was close to my apartment, a guy snatched my bag and ran across the street, I raced after him without watching the road, I was almost knocked down by an upcoming vehicle, but I swiftly turned around, and with so much force, I bumped into the side mirror and sent it crashing on the ground.
Just then I remembered my bag was empty and there was no need running after the thief, and now I was in trouble.

I looked at the car, it was a nice looking black car, I didn’t know much about cars, but this looked expensive.
I made a silent prayer that the car owner was nice and would let me go.
I stood still, sweating in the cold breeze as the car owner alighted from his car, I made a quick calculation, he was tall, cute, in an expensive looking suit, must be in his early 30’s, and he wasn’t smiling, this is bad.
‘Good morn, no sorry, afternoon sir, I’m so sorry about the damage, I was robbed and was going after the thief and and, I’m so sorry, (I made a quick calculation in my head, all I had was 20 thousand dollars in the bank), I could pay you 10 thousand dollars to have it fixed’ I concluded and realized I was saying rubbish.
“10 thousand dollars, do you realize what model this car is?
This is a 2021 Lexus RX 350, and replacement for that mirror costs 479 dollars”
I’m dead, I said in my head
The next thing I realized, he had taken a photograph of me with his phone, he then pointed his card to me, “Take this, call me 10am tomorrow so we can talk about this damage you have done”
With that, he got back into his car and zoomed off.
I entered into my small apartment, feeling sorry for myself, the little hunger I felt earlier had vanished and replaced itself with worry, ‘what do I do?’

‘How do I get out of this mess?’
I woke up to the ring of my phone, who was calling me at this time of the morning?
I looked at the small clock on my table, 8:00am, how did I over sleep?
I was supposed to be up, roaming the streets looking for a job.
The ring of the phone brought me back from my thoughts, I quickly picked up the phone, ‘Hello am I speaking with Melanie Adams?’ the caller said.
“Yes, this is her, how may I be of help?”
“Apparently, my boss sacked his PA and we are looking for a quick replacement, can you come into the office in an hour time for an interview?”
“Yes, I’d be there”
“Alright, I’d be expecting you at Mason Realty an hour from now, don’t be late” and with that, she hung up.
I jumped off the bed and flew into the bathroom, in exactly 52 minutes after the call, I was at the reception.
