Chapter 0010

I stared nervously at myself in the mirror. I was scared - so scared - that I was going to make a tragic mistake and ruin everything. I don’t want to blow this up, this could be the only chance I have and closest to getting an interview let alone a job.

Lydia entered the bedroom with a cup of tea - drinking coffee is strictly forbidden - and handed me a cup with a nod of approval as she assessed my appearance.

“You look like the typical personal assistant,” Lydia said.

“Are you sure that they are going to like my dress at all?” I asked nervously.

“For goodness sake, you are going to an interview, not a date.”

“But the skirt looks bigger on me, like the overall uniform of an apprentice,” I complained.

Lydia sighed. “You are pregnant, Sydney. It’s not advisable to wear tight clothes to avoid certain circumstances that might not be good. Listen to me, you are perfect and I’m sure that if you worry less about your appearance and focus more on building your confidence, you will get the job.
