The Last Laugh

Chapter 17 - The Welds

***

I parked in front of the huge building at exactly three. I got out of my car and looked up at the top of the building. I suddenly thought of my father. Bitterness rose from within me. I cleared my throat and shook all awful thoughts from my mind.

I went into the building. For the first time in my life I'd seen my father's company with both eyes. Its inside was big and beautiful.

I went straight to the woman in the lobby.

"Excuse me."

"Yes, sir?"

"I'm here for the job offer."

"Oh, okay. Take the elevator sir, to the last floor. Then the fourth door to your left."

I thanked her and headed for the elevator.

I reached the last floor and took the fourth door on my left.

On entering, I discovered it was a waiting room full of formally dressed people. They surely wanted the same job.

I sat down and waited.

Time flew and people were called one by one. I got tired and bored.

After about fifty minutes of waiting, the man who called people over told me I was next. Finally. I stood up and adjusted my tie. I followed him to the office.

We reached a door and he opened it for me.

"You can go in."

I went into the office and closed the door behind me. It was a big, spacious and beautiful office with large glass windows and an amazing view on the city.

Surprisingly, there was no one in it.

"Hold on I'm coming!" a female voice said from another room in the office which happened to be the toilets. I recognised her voice. I unknowingly clenched my jaw. I needed her not to recognise me. She couldn't even do that in the first place.
