She pulled herself together and ran to her mothers closet which was filled with expensive vintage clothing, each piece was timeless.
April picked out a black Chanel dress it had a high collar and stopped above her knee. She then paired it with a pair of black Louboutin's.
April went to the vanity table and put on some light makeup and fixed her hair into a high bun she left some waves loose so it had a more youthful vibe. Trying on the dress it fitted her perfectly. Adding a black leather Chanel bag to complete the look she put her phone, ID and keys inside. It was summer and the temperature had risen in the afternoon so she did not take a jacket.
She stepped out of her new condo with a spring in her step. She went down in the lift and smiled as she walked past the security.
"I'll be back later Jace."
Jace was lost for words and his jaw dropped, he had to take a second look at the beauty that just walked past him. This was the same girl as earlier but now she had a cheerful aura and wore clothing that matched her beauty perfectly. He was glad that he had not judged her too soon earlier as he may have made a big mistake and would only regret it later.
April who had just left the condominium beamed as she walked to the gates of the community. This was an expensive neighbourhood to live in and people had either chauffeurs or cars of their own so there would be no taxis passing by or busses. As she was thinking a guard approached her from his post.
"Miss, can I book you a taxi, it's too hot a day to stand about?"
April turned and saw an older man he was dressed in a guards uniform and it said Cerulean Condo's on his shirt so she smiled up at him.
"Yes please, I have to get somewhere in less than an hour, would it be quick?"
"Yes Miss we have taxi cabs on standby just in case, these Condos have every amenity. Just ask one of us or the door security. I'm John."
"Thanks, John, I will have to trouble you then."
April stood under a large chestnut tree to get some shade while she waited for a taxi. The summer made it searingly hot outside, there was no breeze so the branches stood still allowing April some must needed shade. A lot hung on getting this job so her nerves built a little, she started to nervously play with her hand and pace a little. Just when she started to overthink a car pulled up, it was a taxi. It was very efficient and one arrived in five minutes. She waved goodbye to John and got in the taxi. She greeted the female private taxi driver. 𝘧𝑟ee𝘸e𝙗𝙣ov𝒆l - 🅽🅽novel
"I'm Jackie, were to miss."
"April... Walker Interiors please."
"No problem, I'll get you there as soon as I can." Jackie noticed the young girls nerves and so she started up a conversation.
They made small talk and April forgot about her nerves before going to Walker interiors. Jackie was friendly and liked to small talk, she had a family with two men around April's age. As they chatted April received Jackie's card with her information on it and told her to call her if she was stuck and in need of a lift. She thanked Jackie and said goodbye as she had arrived outside Walker Interiors.
Walker Interiors building was a skyscraper, It had hundreds of employees. April had heard that the CEO was young and had many partners, everyone wanted the Cinderella story. But April had remembered in her past life it had turned out that CEO Casey Walker was in a relationship but it had been with his long time male friend. Though she couldn't remember his name, so these women had zero chance.
She walked straight to the reception desk, where a young lady was typing away. April stood at the desk and waited patiently for her to finish. The girl looked up and noticed April after some minutes.
"Sorry I didn't see you there, you should have said something. How can I help you today?" The girl was young and polite so April didn't mind the wait, she knew it was intentional.
"Afternoon, I received a call from Michael he said I had to fill in some paperwork to start the internship on Monday."
"Oh yes, of course, go to level sixty-seven and knock on the door to your right. That's Michaels office."
"Okay, thanks for your help."
April smiled and walked to the lift hitting the button, she then arrived at floor sixty-seven and saw a few doors, the one in the middle looked like a meeting room. So she ignored it and walked past. Seeing the only door on the right she fixed her dress and took a deep breath and put on a smile before knocking.
Knock Knock
"Come in" The same cheerful voice came from the other side of the door as she had heard earlier on the phone.
She walked in and tried her best to remain calm and composed, she looked up at the man who was seated behind the desk.
Michael was a young man with longish blonde hair and he wore a sapphire suit. As she got closer she noticed his sparkling blue eyes matched his suit, he was a very handsome man who seemed very outgoing and cheerful.
"Hi..." She started to speak but Michal interrupted her words.
"April right, take a seat. I remember your sweet voice from earlier, you are the only one that sent me a CV that was even remotely in the same scope as their degree. You did Fine art and Fashion and textiles am I right?"
"Yes, I would love to be able to use my artistic flare no matter where I work in the future." April had taken a seat opposite Michael he seemed so friendly and honest.
"You are young and show a lot of potential. We got in contact with your references this morning and both professors would not stop singing your praises. So I would like to snap you up before others realise it too. If you agree please sign the contract and you can start Monday morning."
