It was a hot sunny day in April, and the clocks were striking eight. I, Justine Lee, with a newfound hope in my career, walked inside the glimmering glass doors of Insparks Corp.

The receptionist greeted me almost immediately, welcoming me into my new life, one where I could follow my dreams and reap the fruits of my efforts.

I bowed in response, looking forward to seeing her, and every single one of my colleagues who I hadn't met yet, every day whenever I go to work.

Truth be told, I had never thought that I'd be able to join such a prestigious company. Heck, not even in my dreams could I step into the building. All I could dream about were about my failures and all the misfortunes I had in the past. But now, the wind is blowing in a different direction.

I actually applied here a week ago but was distraught to find out that all the spots were already filled so I was put on a waiting list. Surprise, surprise! A week later, I got a call from the secretary telling me that many spots were now vacant, meaning that I was hired. What an incredible stroke of luck!

In the distance, I spotted a person that I was familiar with from the interview portion of my application. He stood larger than me and was quite on the chubby side but don't let looks fool you. He's a very kind and soft fellow who eased my nervousness during my interview.

I walked toward him with a bright smile on my face. I could already see his gentle smile as I approached him.

I bowed, showing my gratitude.

"Good day to you, Mr Robert. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity. I promise to dedicate everything to this company."

Mr Robert chuckled. "Everything?"

"Yes sir, everything!"

Mr Robert's smile grew larger. He placed his hand on my shoulder.

"Nice to meet you again, Lee. Come, let me show you around."
