When she went back to her room, she grinned at seeing the money on her account. She could breathe just fine now. It was as if half her problems have been settled. She quickly paid her bills online before doing anything else.Afterwards, she rummaged through one of her boxes and found a cute notebook and a pen. She’s not used to making plans, but she now felt that she needed to. Save half of her money, huh? Pursing her lips, she grudgingly agreed that she will do that. She took a deep breath. Is she really going out to apply for jobs? Just thinking about it is already draining her energy. Well, she would need an updated resume. She knew that much. She opened her laptop and edited the document. Apparently, one-page resumes are now the trend. She doesn’t have much to put in it anyway. Just some of her personal information and educational background. Experience? Only her internship.She went to Klyde’s study to print copies of it. Since he’s out she was free to look around. All those book

“Do you not mind fucking with an older man?” He asked absentmindedly as he changed his clothes.Melissa was still basking in the afterglow of their shared pleasure. “Are you fishing for compliments? Do you need your ego bolstered?”He raised an eyebrow at her as he buttoned a different shirt.“You look much younger than your age and you probably know already, your body is comparable to that of younger men. Are these what you want to hear? Satisfied?”Klyde lightly shook his head. He shouldn’t have bothered asking. It’s clear now that she’s not easily bothered by anything. That’s not even what he meant by his question.“On another topic, how do you expect me to go out early to look for a job when you still use my body at this hour? When I start working for a company, can we do away with morning sex?”He couldn’t answer immediately, but did consider it carefully. “Maybe a quickie.”Melissa groaned at his reply. Men. She rolled her eyes at him as she rolled on the bed to search for her n

Well, it took more than a day. Scouting the next business area in the city, that is.Melissa realized that it’s fun, but there’s that underlying worry. Would she be able to get a job or not? She’s not exactly pressured at this point, but she could sympathize with the others she saw. Life is hard, apparently.A few days later, she finally got a call and she was asked to come in for an interview. It’s fairly easy to see that there’s something different about her. She has this air of confidence that didn’t stem from… an actual confidence in her skills or knowledge. Her confidence stems from the fact that she can afford to fail to interview.From a professional standpoint, she carries herself well. She answers in a straight-forward manner. She didn’t stammer. Her replies seem very honest. It was all good until you look at her resume, or ask her about her experiences. There’s none. And she couldn’t share anything about it. Ranking-wise, she’s lined up with the fresh graduates. It’s a real

She couldn’t stop grinning and feeling happy for the rest of the day.When Lily called, she went over to her place to celebrate with her. She brought their favorite food and a bottle of wine.Her friend is happy for her but she’s worried, too. Mel could be flexible. She can adapt to many situations… she should be good. Right?When she returned to Klyde’s place, she’s a little tipsy. But her energy is still high. Her smile was as wide as it could be as she approached the master of the house.The man frowned at her figure. He could already tell she’s not sober. That expression on her face is a little sickening as he’s unfamiliar with it.“Where have you been?” His tone was hostile but she doesn’t seem to mind.“Oh, just a little celebration with my friend.” She grinned stupidly as she reached for his arm and clung to it.“I got a job!” She stated it in a sing-song. Her voice was not unpleasant.Klyde pursed his lips, “It’s good that you got a job, but do you have to come home drunk?”Sh

Lily frowned at her when she finished relating her last week’s experience in the office.“What’s his name?”“Cedric. I was told he’s also wooing women from other departments, you included. Is it true?” Truthfully, she’s not interested in the guy. She’s merely concerned if he’s playing with people, especially if it’s her friend.Lily pursed her lips. “Are you sure? Why do I feel like you’re talking about a different person? The Cedrik I know is somewhat timid, not arrogant…”Melissa stared at her for a while. “Really?”“I mean, do you like this guy? Do you happen to have a picture?” She added, wanting to settle this matter quickly.“Well, I actually do. I stalked his social media one time. I mean, he’s cute and acted like a fine gentleman.” Her friend explained as she browsed through her phone.Oh, well. They might actually be talking about different people, which would be a good thing. She patiently waited for Lily to show her a photo.“Oh, here. Look. This is Cedrik.”Melissa dramati
