Avery

My cab stops in front of an imposing building, and I come out with my mouth open. “Wow, this place is huge,” I mutter in awe.

The car zooms off and I smooth my hands over my skirt, brushing off nonexistent lint. I walk inside and enter a large, air-conditioned reception area.

Looking around, I see a large reception desk in a corner and walk over to the man standing behind it.

“Good afternoon. My name is Avery Lombardo and I’m a nurse. I was called yesterday to come in for the specialty training interview.”

“Welcome. Go to the second floor, first door to your right. Wait there and someone will attend to you,” he says, and I smile in appreciation.

“Thank you.” He nods and goes back to what he was doing. I locate the stairs and climb up, entering the room he described.

There are three people seated there already and I sit beside what seems like the last one on the line.

“Hi, I’m Avery,” I say to the lady beside me.

“Hello, I’m Monica.”

“How long has this been going on?”

“What? You mean the interview?”

“Yes.”

“Well, not very long. They don’t take more than thirty minutes with each candidate,” she says, tilting her head.

“Wait, I know you. You’re that lady who just got married to that Greek billionaire guy.”

I widen my eyes and look around, making sure nobody heard her. “Please, quiet down. I don’t want people to know me.”

“Girl, they already know you. Y’all’s faces were splashed all over them magazines and all that. Congratulations. What are you doing here? Aren’t y’all supposed to be honeymooning or something?”

“Well, not really. Something came up, so we had to cut it short.” Why did he have to splash my face everywhere? That darned man.

“Okay. But why are you even working? You’re like, rich rich,” she says, giggling.

“I just like working. I didn’t get this degree for nothing.” I laugh nervously and dab the beads of sweat on my forehead.

“Could never be me though…” she starts but a woman comes in, calling her name.

“Monica Kaleb,” we both look at her and she beckons at Monica.

“Please, follow me,” she says and walks through a door on the other side of the room.

“This is me. Good luck, girl. Although I’m sure you don’t need it. The openings were probably created because of you. Anyways, bye,” she says and walks after the other woman.

I slump in my chair and sigh heavily. They won’t accept me because of my last name, right? I mean, Noah got me the interview, but they won’t take me just because of him.

I hear my name and sit up sharply.

“Avery Lombardo.”

“Yes, that’s me,” I say, raising my hand.

“Come this way,” she says and goes through another door. I follow her and enter a wide room containing an examination bed with a dummy on it.

A man and woman sit on the opposite of the bed and look up when I enter. Oh God, what are they whispering now?

“Good afternoon,” I say, fidgeting with the hand of my bag. The woman speaks up first.
