Many years came and passed, Giselle graduated with her brother from a tertiary institution.Thomas and Giselle moved out of their parents house, they lived in a city far away from their parent's. They still talk with their parents on the phone. Fortunately for Thomas, he secured a job with a company, Diamonds company."Congratulations, bro," Giselle had said to him when he broke the news to his sister. Ellen and Jones still lived together as a couple, Jones still does fishing for a living, and Ellen finally got a job as a teacher to teach younger children in beginner's classes.Jones didn't fish everyday like he used to, because Thomas always sent him money for their upkeep. He went to the riverside once a while mostly because of exercise. Unfortunately for Giselle, she has no job. She had visited several companies for employment opportunities, but they seem not to want her service."I am tired," she once cried to Thomas."Relax, honey. You'll secure a good job very soon, okay?"

Giselle did not stop anticipating the interview. The next morning had arrived, and Giselle was still snoring in her room.Thomas wakes up in his room, checks the time and storms into Giselle's room. "Gis! Wake up," Thomas screamed at Giselle when he entered her room."What?" She asked, looking at him. "Wake up, it's almost time!" Thomas cried again. "What? Leave me alone," She cried, turning to the other side of the bed.Ignoring her, Thomas moved to the window to open the curtains, causing the rays of light to co
Max drove his taxi towards the direction of a big boutique in the city, "Won't you be late for the interview?" He asked."I am already late, I will still try my luck and see if I can get employed," She said with a melancholic tone. "Just get me to the boutique.""Okay, ma'am," He said, making a turn."Are there possibilities of you dropping me at the boutique and also taking me to the company?

Afterall, it will be her first day at work. Getting into the bathroom, she took off her clothes. Grabbed the sponge and soap and rubbed her body when she merged both. She came out of the bathroom and graced her fine body with her body cream, then wore the already washed and ironed dress the car splashed puddles on. And then, selected the handbag of her choice.

Thomas asked teasingly."Giselle Jones, I am," She answered laughing."Good morning, how was your sleep?" He asked after hugging her shortly."Fine, how was yours?" She asked, drinking tea from the cup Thomas handed to her. "Fine too, want a ride?" Thomas asked. "Naaa
