Chapter Five

Ah!

Given shrieked girly at the sight of his daughter, whom he had imagined as a ghost.

>>You scared the heck out of me!<<

>>haha<< The laughter of Sussana diverted his attention to her.

>>This is not entertaining, Sussan! And how long have you been standing there, Anna?<<

Haha!

Anna joined forces with her mother to tease the scared father but stopped when she noticed the seriousness on his face.

>>I came to tell you guys that I will be departing for the job interview in New York City tomorrow<<

She uttered with a new-found confidence, leaving her folks in awe.

Believing she must have misheard what her daughter had announced, Sussana swiftly adjusted herself on the sofa with her pretty face, pinpointing her daughter’s direction. She wished to listen to what Anna had briefly stated.

>>I am going for the job interview!<< Anna rephrased.

>>Damn! That is the spirit!<< Givan cheered his daughter on.

>>Oh, honey! Come here!<< Her eyes filled with tears, and Sussana called her for a family hug.

The night flew under the radar, and before Anna could react, her mother invaded her room lustily.

>>Mum, what are you doing here? It is five o’clock in the morning, and the interview is at ten thirty<< Anna voiced out her anguish, arguing to sleep for a good measure of time.

>>For a successful interview, you know I need a good sleep, Mum<< She reasoned.

>>Yes, but you need to remember something. You are not in New York, and it will take your dad approximately three hours to drive you to the KJK Associates headquarters. So only if you want to report late to your interview<<

>>Oh no!<< Anna finally came back to her senses and hastily rushed to the bathroom to get ready.

After an hour of preparation, Anna went to the living room, where her folks were waiting for her. Although they were not the interviewees, they appeared nervous.

>>What? Why those faces?<< She asked, puzzled.

>>Honey, we are and will always be proud of you<< Sussana came closer and kissed Anna’s cheek.
