Then I combed my hair, I didn’t put lipstick on my face because I didn’t really put it on. I zipped up my shoulder bag and then I went to where mom and dad were.

“Mom, Dad, I’m leaving. ‘” I said goodbye.

“Be careful. I really hope you get hired.” They said, I just nodded and left walking until I reached the waiting shed because there was only a passing jeep.

When a jeep approached, I immediately stopped it and got on. While riding in the jeep I fervently prayed that I would be hired I needed a job so we could save and food. I don’t want them to work anymore.

When I arrived at my destination I was amazed to see a very large building and very tall. And it says ‘CRIMSON COMPANY’. When I was about to enter, the Guard stopped me.

“Miss what do you need?” it asks me,

“I’m going to apply for a job.” I smile in response.

“We’re not here hiring.” The guard replied.

“Someone told me to come here so I thought there was hiring. Even if it’s just a janitress, isn’t there any hiring there?” I’m asking, how is that?

“There’s nothing so you can leave--.” The hand guard could not continue what he was going to say because someone spoke behind me in a very cold and baritone male voice and it was familiar to me. His voice was familiar.

“Let her come in. Don’t send her away, she will work here.” He said, I turned my back to find out if it was true that I thought I was surprised when I confronted him because it was so close to me because he was taller than me so my face hit his massive chest my eyes widened look at him and step back slightly. It was as if nothing had happened to him.

“I’m sorry Sir Calvin.” Nakayokong sabi ni kuyang bodyguard

“Follow me.” Its short command I didn’t know I was what he was saying or my bodyguard so I didn’t obey and remained standing while he was a few steps away when Lewis confronted me.

“I said follow me Airelle.‘’ he said authoritatively so I didn’t have to go next to him.

‘’Oh? Okay.” smiling I said I don’t know why but I was just smiling really am I crazy.

“What’s your job here at the company? Are you a janitor? It doesn’t look like it’s not based on what you’re wearing. What is your job here?” When I asked him, it wasn’t obvious that he was going to be a janitor here because he was in business attire. It just looks straight at what he’s going through. I also notice that the employees we pass by bow to him. We are now on the elevator.

“I’ll give you a job. I’ll just give you the job as a janitress. That’s what you said earlier.” He ignored my question. But it’s okay, snobber!

“I really have a job, thank you. And then wait, why are you giving me a job? Are you the boss? Are you the owner of this company? Then they bow to you when you pass by them.” My question was full of curiosity.

It has not yet answered when the elevator opens. Opening it you will immediately see an office very large its alone it is all over the floor where we are maybe here is the office of the owner of this company.

Lewis opened the office door. I was even more amazed because it was really beautiful and very clean. The middle -aged woman exposed herself to us. When he saw Lewis and me coming in he immediately stood up and bowed.

“Good Morning Sir Calvin.” Bowed its greeting. Wait?? Is he the Boss?

Halleh, when I finished acting like him, it was like I was just comparing.

“You’re the Boss?” I ask to be sure. He turned to me

“What do you think?” Lewis asked

“Ahhmm. For me yes. You are Eh bat you didn’t tell me?”

“Did you ask?”

“Oh. Of course, but even if you should say it, I’m still aware.” When I protested, it ignored me and confronted the woman who was still bent over until now. Doesn’t it sing?

“Tell her what she should do about her work.” He said looking at the woman. He looked at me with no emotion on his face, which was always, “Go with her woman, she will explain it to you, she’s the one in charge of your work as a janitress.” Its promise to me. Huwow woman and rabbit Airelle!

‘’ All right. Bye Boss. “I informed him that he ignored me and sat down saying that his throne is a swivel chair. I turned to face our woman who was already standing straight and no longer bent over.

“Come with Ms. De Laval.” Saad nito Eh? Teka alam nya apelyido ko di-bale nalang siguro binigay ni Lewis ay mali ni Boss sa kanya yong resume ko.

“All right.” It came out first and I was just next to it.
As we boarded the elevator it spoke.

“So Miss. De Laval this is your first day of your job. By the way I’m Mrs. Cortez I’ll take you to the quarters of the janitress and janitor. Sir Calvin will clean you on the floor. Alone because if you’ve seen it before is the only office which means yong to him. In the morning you have to clean it at 8:30 and in the evening it’s 9:00. Is that clear? “ It’s a long explanation to me, it’s really bad that 8:30 at night is 9:00 but it’s okay I can do it, Fight, just fight !!

“How about the afternoon?” I asked maybe because he forgot and needed to

“Good and you said 1:30 you go there.” Saad nito at sakto naman pagbukas ng elevator. When we came out, the lockers were exposed, maybe the lockers of the janitresses and janitors. I saw some janitresses on the side chatting while sitting on the long sofa when they saw Mrs. Cortez they stood up immediately.

“There’s someone new to be with. Just tell him where his uniform is and where the cleaning supplies are.” He said and left I noticed Mrs. Cortez has this rudeness.^.^

“What’s your name sister?” asked the woman I think is 34 years old

“Elle po.” I answered

“I’m Bita. They call me Nanay B so that’s what you call me.” Said Mother B.

“All right, Mom B.” I replied smiling

“Your locker is here, your uniform is here and the cleaning is here.” It pointed to the corner that someone was coming in after Mother B pointed my locker at me.

“All right, Elle, I’ll be ahead of you because I’m still cleaning my floor where I can sit with them.” He bulls those with him earlier. There are very few in the locker room now because maybe it’s time to clean up. I smiled at Mother B and nodded.

“All right, Mom B. I’ll get dressed so I can start cleaning as well.” It smiled and nodded then left.

I took my uniform out of my locker. It is black in color and has blue on the side. I went to this locker room and got dressed then I pinched my hair and looked in the mirror. That’s fine. I went to where the cleaning was.
