VPH???
Ryan POV ?
“Are you going to interview all these people?” George ask me scrolling down the applicants who had applied for the position of a model here in VPH.
“What else do you expect me to do? I have till tomorrow to get a face model.” I said and cross my legs.
“If not because she’s your mother I would have said she’s very wicked. It’s a short notice and it’s not your fault Sandra bailed on you.” George said and I sigh.
“That’s Mrs. Julius McKings and you can never say no to her request. I’m just getting fed up already with all these. I can’t wait to put it all behind me.” I said and he didn’t utter another word as he kept on scrolling down the applicants.
“You have more than thirty thousand applicants.” He said and I nod my head because I’ve already gone throu-ghit.
“You know what you’ll do for me? Help me and schedule an early morning interview. We’ll start eliminating them from there so anybody that comes late with just a minute will go back home.” I said and he gave me a look that says ‘ I don’t un-derstand what you’re saying’
“That’s the only way to not get here crowded,” I added.
“And since when has that become my job?” He asked me.
“Well my friend, you’ve got yourself a job without an interview. You should thank me.” I said and left the office.

SPRING VALLEY ?️
Eva Pov?
Honestly, I thought the review will take like maybe two weeks or more but I was shocked when I received a mail that we were to come for an interview by 8 am tomorrow.
I guess it’s an urgent job offer and I’m very sure that they’ll be strict in picking a model.
I’ve parked my bags today even though I don’t know where I’ll be staying in the city before I get my apartment. I’m just positive that God won’t leave my side.
“Make sure not to get a pimple. That means no eating of anything oily.” Fateemah said but I only nod my head so that they will stop bugging me but everything they’ve been saying is only useful to them alone.
“I have a good feeling about this that you’re going to get the job,” Angel said her own.
I’ll hate to be the one that’ll be pessimistic among all of us.
“Call this number when you get to Texas. That’s my Aunty’s.” Fateemah said giving me a paper and I shove it into my purse without glancing at it.
It is now that I noticed that grandma hadn’t even uttered a word, she was just sitting on her chair quietly.
“Aww! My grandma is missing me already.” I said and hu-g her from behind. She tapped my hands smiling. I could see her smiling face from behind.
“I know that everything you’re doing is for us but what about you Eva? I know very well that this is too much for you and it’s okay if you don’t go.” She said and for the first time since morning am hearing somebody giving me an option.
All this is up to me hello!
“You shouldn’t worry about me Grandma because I’ll do just fine. I won’t have trouble finding a place to sleep either.” I said but she was still wearing that gloomy face.
“Common grandma,” I said, and then she sighed.
“I’m going to miss you, my granddaughter.” She said and emBr@ce me.
“You don’t have to worry cause another granddaughter is here.” I heard Angel say but instead, grandma clic-ked her tongue.
“Don’t forget to give us a call once you get to Texas.” She said bidding me farewell. I hu-g them one after the other before taking off.
I took the available bus to Texas.
??????
“Welcome to Texas,” I said to myself as I spray my arms in excitement. It’s already getting dark but I’m surely grateful that I got here.
As I was about to take another step, someone snatched my bag from me and disappeared into the crowd. I screamed in agony as I don’t even know where to begin because I don’t know where to go from here.
“Oh, God!” I exclaim remembering that the number Fateemah asked me to call is in my bag that was snatched.
“I am so done for!”
I was to turn in another direction but someone bumped into me causing me to fall flat on the ground.

I was to turn in another direction but someone bumped into me causing me to fall flat on the ground.
“My bad, am so sorry.” The person said stretching a hand to me and I took it then he lift me and I dust my body.
“Please forgive me.” He apologized but I found myself just staring at his cute face. He has an oval-shaped face, and although there are sp-ots he still looks stunning and his hair is styled in a way that I cannot seem to imagine.
Is he a model?
“You look handsome!”
I didn’t realize when I say that until when I saw him smiling.
What are you doing Eva?!
“Yeah, I get that a lot. Anyway, thank you.”
Such a showoff!
I roll my eyes and then my phone starts to ring and when I checked the caller ID it turned out to be Fateemah.
?When exactly do you plan to call huh?
I told her what happened to me when I got to Texas and also that I’d lost my purse where I kept the number she gave me so she told me she was going to send it via an SMS.
“Are you new?” He ask but I shunned him. Why do I have to bump into an arrogant fellow today huh?
The moment the number dropped, I dialed it and the person answered immediately as if she has been expecting my call and I was right cause she just mentioned my name. She then told me to come to meet her at an address that she’ll be waiting for me there but I don’t know where that is.
“Looks like am not nee-ded here.” He said and wants to leave but I made him stop.
“Do you by any chance know where this is?” I ask mentioning the address and he nods his head as a yes.
“You can be a gentleman and take me there,” I said but he didn’t even take another step. What’s wrong with this guy?!
“My name is Steven and it’s nice to meet you, Miss…..” He stretches his hand for a handshake.
“You’re going to get my name once you take me to where I’m going.”
I know it’s bad to hold someone unto something but I had no choice and he’s not making any of this easy for me.
“And what if I just don’t care about your name then?” He said arrogantly and I move closer to him.
“Then I’ll scream and call attention on myself,” I said hoping this one will work on him but he ignored me and made to walk away then I found myself screaming.
“Somebody please help me! He’s going to haras-s me please!” I screamed and he rushed back and use his hand to cover my mouth.
“Let me go,” I said and pushed his hand off my mouth.
“Fine. I’ll take you to where ever you’re heading.” He said and smile.
“You see, it’s not ha-rd after all. Where’s your car?” I told him to lead the way instead.
[NEXT DAY]
“Wake up already Eva, isn’t your interview schedule for 8 this morning?”
I heard Aunty’s voice waking me up from my beauty sleep.
“What is the time?” I know I set the alarm for 4 this morning so I can get ready early but I didn’t even hear it ring and that is because it’s not even 4 yet.
“6:30”
She said and I opened my eyes looking at her.
“The interview is scheduled for 8, let me just sleep a little more please,” I said and turn my face to the other side and her voice just fades away.
7:00 AM
I don’t know why I have to put my phone so close to my ear. It’s ringing so loud. I answered the call without even knowing who was calling.
?Tell me, are you already in the company?! Has the interview commenced already?!
I recognize the voice immediately to be that of Angel and in hearing her mention the interview I jumped up, check the time and it was past 7 in the morning. I screamed and end the call without another word.
I took my bath and after I was done I put on the same cloth I had on yesterday cause I don’t have time to pick new clothes. I rushed downstairs parking my hair in a messy bun.
“Good morning Auntie.” I greeted and rushed out but rushed back in remembering that I wasn’t having any cash on me.
“Can you spare me some cash please? I’ll refund you once I get back.” Even though I don’t know what the result will be, I just have to get there first. She gave me some money and I boarded the public bus.
“Please Miss, can you describe where Vivian Publishing House is located?” I asked a lady who is sitting beside me on the bus and she gave me a description but the bus isn’t moving as fast as I want and it was annoying.
“Can’t the bus just increase its pace a little more?”I asked the lady who nod her head sideways.
7:45 AM
When I got off the bus it was as if everything the woman said vanished into thin air cause I can’t seem to remember a thing she said and I’m running out of time already.
I had to ask another person and before I could get a full description it was already 8 o’clock. I got discouraged from my guts but am not the type that gives up.

Ryan Pov ?
“I’m going to die!” I said resting my head on the couch. It’s tiring to interview close to two hundred persons and still not find a matching face model.
“Maybe if you were a little lenient you would have found one. You didn’t even attend to the person that arrived a minute late. How do you plan to achieve anything?” George said and he’s right but the person that came a minute late didn’t even have the qualifications, to begin with.
“What are you going to tell Mrs. Julius McKings by 8 PM today?” He added and I gave him a stare. I don’t even want to think about it.
“Sir Ryan, there’s an applicant outside.” The secretary said getting in and I and George glance at each other and then my wristwatch. It’s quatre past eight already.
“Tell her the interview is over. She came late.” I said to the secretary but she was reluctant to leave and I know that the applicant must be troubling her.
“Bring her in,” I said and she left and seconds later my worst nightmare walks in.
It’s the same girl from the club some nights back. The girl who called me names and said I was haras-sing her.
“It’s the club girl!” George said smiling but I’m not finding it amusing.

Eva POV ?
When I got to VPH it was as if am the only applicant here and it turned out that am the only one. I approached the receptionist and told her that I came for the interview and instead she made fun of me before telling me that the interview had been over 30mimutes ago. I told her to just let me talk to the person that’s anchoring the interview but she wouldn’t let me and she said that I won’t be favored.
Being a determined lady I didn’t give up and when she saw how persistent I was, she went to inform her boss who told her to let me in, and here I am standing face to face with HARas-sMENT!!!
Am I dreaming or what?!
Is it true what they say that the world is very small and there is every tendency that you’ll meet everyone in it?
I doubt it.
“It’s the club girl!” His pervert friend said calling me a name and I gave him a deadly stare before turning to Mr. Pervert.
Yes, that’s his name, Mr. Pervert.
“What do you want? Are you here to accuse me of wanting to take advantage of you?” He began and I scoff.
“Common now stop making yourself feel like you’re any important. I’m here for an interview and I have no business with you.” I said and he and his friend burst into laughter.
What’s so funny?
“Wait, wait, wait. Do you honestly think you’re fit for a face model?” He asked and I can feel myself losing my self-confidence all I wanted to do was to look into the mirror and check if there was anything wrong with my face. I know I still maintained a sp-otless face as I did what Fateemah asked me to do.
“You’re so hilarious Ryan!” His friend said laughing at something that’s not even funny.
“I don’t care what you’re going to say to me because you’re not the person I came here for so I won’t pay you any attention. Take me to my interviewer.” I said with a little confidence. I’m losing my stand honestly.
“You’re talking to the interviewer.” His friend said stretching his hand towards him.
Mr. Pervert is the interviewer?!
He’s the one that owns VPH?!
Oh No! I am never getting this job as long as he’ll get to make the decision.
“Even if I want to conduct an interview for you, it’s already past the time and I can’t be sentimental.” He said.
Normally, am supposed to beg him and all that since it might help me get a favor from him but I won’t do that. He’s Mr. Pervert and I don’t even see myself working for him.
“It’s a good thing then cause I won’t get to see your ugly face every day.” I hissed and made to the door but I bumped into a woman he regarded as his mother.
“Excuse me, ma’am,” I said because she was standing by the door. She stares at me for a few seconds before moving away and I walk out.

Ryan Pov ?
“I thought you have a business meeting today?” I asked her cause it was a surprise seeing her here. She’s not supposed to be in the office today.
“I know. I’m just curious about what you’re doing and it turned out that I can’t seem to find anyone here? What’s going on son?” She asked walking up to me and I didn’t even know what else to say.
Should I tell her that we’ve finished conducting the interview and we didn’t find anyone suitable for the position?! I should just tell her to give me more time. That’s what I’ll do.
“We’ve gotten a model Ma’am,” George said and I turn my face to him.
“Who?” She asked him the same question I intend asking him.
“The lady that just left. She’s our pick.”
Are you nuts?!
“Ask her to resume tomorrow, we’ll start working on the shots and work on her face.” She said and left the office.
“What the hell did you just do?!” I ask George who sat down.
“I just saved your a$$ so you should be thanking me not yelling.” He said and I scratch my head in total annoyance.
“How am I supposed to reach her now before tomorrow?! I don’t even know her fxcking name!”
“Oh, that won’t be a problem. She’s the club girl and her phone number is in her profile. You should be dialing her number now.” George said and cross his legs.
“I hate you!”
“You’re welcome.”
