Chapter 1 - The girl who had debts

I woke up sweating profusely, it's another day and i don't think i can do it any longer.

My name is Sophia wren and i am a college graduate with a shit ton of debts to my name...i mean where haven't i borrowed from before?..My credit card? Revoked!! due to too much debt, I have gone three months without paying rent and i am on the brink of eviction from my landlord, The man who was once graceful and kind with me was now wearing a stale bitter face any time i walked past him in the hall.

I literally had no electricity and i literally had no water, gas any luxury of any kind due to my faliure in paying the bills! I was literally on thin ice at the moment and was slowly sinking into misery, wallowing in depression.

I cleared off my sweat with my cloth and stood up, walking to the window to see if i could catch a wisp of Air of any kind at all. A cold gentle breeze caressed my face, sending shivers down my spine. I felt cool and relaxed, something i desperately needed that morning.

Like i always did every morning, i unloaded water from a gallonn i had into a bucket, took into the bathroom and began grooming myself; brushing my teeth, taking my bath, styling my hair and i was done!.

The water was gotten from my neighbour, who usually lended me water in gallons, A woman who i suspected saw me as a pity case but i digress because i actually am.

I dressed up, putting on a plain White gown, coupled with simple office shoes and with my files in my bag, i left the room. My daily routine.This was Day 50 of finding a Job and in those 50 days of prancing around the streets of Eagle City, i hadn't found one job at all, even Menier Jobs.

Vacanvy became a foreign concept once i walked into a corporation, it was as if someone hexed me and not to be psychotic or anything but i strongly believe that this might be the case.

Today is my interview with the famed Holt enterprise, i happened to stumble upon thier Job vacancy poster why surfing on the internet. As i walked to thier building with my bag that contained my files including my bachelor's degree In Economics. I prayed silently for my success.

The building was a magnificent sight, it was a pretty tall sky scraper, taller than other sky scrapers around the area.

'Excuse me ma'm please state your business here' A man said to me as i entered the building, he was tall and wore black overalls with dark boots. I looked at the tag that hung on his breast area and there it was written "Andrew Mani, Security"

'Uh...I am here for the Job interview' i answered, this was an extremely nerve wracking experience, because everything that happened later, felt like a fever dream and nightmare to me.

'Interview? I didn't know there was an interview today, hold on let me check' The security man said and walked off to his desk, picking up the telephone that laid there and clicking on it for a phone call.

All i could do was stare, was i being played?, It was literally on the website!

"A job vacancy Available at Holt enterprise" that was what i saw on my screen while scrolling. I looked at the man, he was out of ear shot so i couldn't fathom what he was saying, i could only see him nodding repeatedly.

He walked up to me after being done with the call, wearing a somewhat gloom look on his face

'I am sorry ma'm the interview isn't holding any longer, the Job vacancy has been filled' he said and went back to his desk.

I stood, speechless....i wanted to scream, i wanted to jump off a bridge....i wanted to kill myself. My vision became blurred as tears welled up in my eyes, soon they were going to be dropping..on the cold hard floor of Holt's building. That was truly my last straw and in my mind i began prepping my suicide route... Lethal Injection...yes... injection best route, quick and painless. I would be out in no time.

The security man stared, i saw that he was sorry for me...it was written on his face...he didn't walk up to me he just gazed gawking at my misery. I didn't need that! I needed a job A source of Income! Save your pity for the dead.

'Why are you Crying?' I heard a voice behind me, i recollected myself and realised that i was standing on a very conspicuous side of the entrance... one where it was hard to ignore my presence..and when i noticed..i stood firm, a warm feeling spreading around my body, it was hope.

The security man ran back and slightly bowed

'Sir!' he yelled, and i immediately turned to see who it was and to my greatest surprise....
