Chapter 2: New Job Interview

When I came out Delene was waiting outside and I asked, "How much does this cost?"

She said, "Oh, they are the basic ones.The shirt is only fifteen hundred dollars and the trousers are for twelve hundred and ninety nine."

I was sure that I was close to fainting.No way I could have these clothes.

Delene looked at me with a frown and I realized I was already shaking my head, she asked, "Is there a problem?"

"Oh no, I could not take these.I am sorry for your trouble."

With that I turned around, ready to go back into my wet and stained clothes.

But then a voice came from behind.

"Excuse us for a moment, Delene."

"Of course, sir."

Delene left me alone with the tall man.

Mr Mackenzie.

I faced him and said, "I appreciate your help but I can’t take these clothes, they are too expensive!"

His lips tipped up at the corners and he said, "I can see that I won’t be able to convince you so why don’t we come to a compromise."

I waited.

He said, "You can wear these clothes to the interview and then return it here and pay the dry cleaning bill when you get the job."

"If I get the job." He shrugged.
