Chapter 4
Today is Saturday. A day of relaxation. A day of absolutely doing nothing. But guess what? I was doing something, and that something brought excruciating pain. Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you... Shopping. That's right, I was shopping. I know you're probably wondering why I'm doing it if I don't like it. Well, I have the answer for you're inquiries. Isabelle. She's the one that dragged me out of the comfort of my bed at 10 in the morning to bring me to this dreadful place called the mall. We have been here for four hours so far, but feels like and eternity. My feet are killing me and all I want to do is go back to comfort of my bed, buy a bunch of newspapers and start looking for apartments to rent. But no, here I am, sitting down on a bench in the middle of the mall waiting for Bella to come out of one of the many shops she has been going in and out of for the past two hours. The only reason I'm putting up with this is because she's going to buy me food after this.
As I was sitting down still waiting for her to come out of Victoria's Secret, I got a call from an unknown number. "Hello?" I said as I answered the phone, "hello, I'm calling from Knight Industries, maybe please speak to Amelia Anderson please?" She said into the phone, "yes, this Amelia speaking" I replied to her. "I would like to inform you that you've been selected for the position of the PA of mr Alexander Knight". As those words came out of her mouth, I couldn't help but freeze. I was at a loss of words. "Hello? Miss, are you there?" "Um, y-y-yes", I stuttered into the phone, "you will be expected to be here on Monday at 8 am sharp, on the sixtieth floor which is the top. Do you understand?" She explained to me. "Yes, th-thank y-you." And with that, she hang up.
When Bella returned about ten minutes later, we started walking towards the car to put all the shopping bags in the trunk and the go back to a restaurant we saw earlier.
During our meal I decided to tell her about my new job at Knight Industries. "That's so amazing Mimi!" She squealed, "I told you not to call me that!" I scolded her while playfully scowling. We laughed together at the nickname I got in middle school. "Wait!" Bella exclaimed all of a sudden, "what?" I asked. "We need to go shopping for your office clothes!" She exclaimed. "No Bella, I have more than enough clothes in my wardrobe." I complained, "no! You need more clothes Mimi!", at this point, I knew I wouldn't win this argument.
So, two hours later, we were finally heading back to the apartment. We talked about everything and sang the songs that came on from the radio the whole way back from the mall. We made it at around four pm so we just decided to watch Netflix while eating popcorn.

I groaned as I woke up to sun rays hitting my face making me lose all possibilities for going back to sleep. I finally gave up and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and have a shower.
After trying to tame the birds nest on top of my head I call hair, I just decided to braid it and leave it resting on my shoulders. I had put on a white chiffon top with lace at the hem with blue skinny jeans and white sneakers.
After eating my breakfast which consisted of toast and coffee, I walked out of the apartment and locked the door behind me. Since I was going to the apartment I saw on the internet, I decided to just walk there. When I got there, I spoke to the landlord and he stated his terms and conditions, to which I accepted. He gave the key to the two bedroom apartment and told me I can move in my stuff next weekend.
All I have to do is tell Bella about my new accomplishment.
