Chapter 34: Give me A Chance

~Aoife~

 

As decided, Matt and I headed towards the given address; we reached.

It was an old building located at the heart of downtown.

There was no place for parking; we had to park away from the building.

As usual, Matt showed me his attitude for bringing him here. And I had to keep my patience without uttering a word.

"I am telling you, it's not gonna work." He gruffed.

"Let's just check one time," I dragged him with me.

We had to climb the stairs to reach the fourth floor; well, there was no elevator in this old building.

Future life magazine

We saw the name as we know we are at the correct place.

We looked at each other as the sight in front of our eyes was not what we expected to be.

"Future Life? This is not the future I want," he snorted as we entered the office.

The office was filled with dump papers and files on one side, old chairs and broken windows gave a glimpse we came to the oldest place of this century.

The old magazines with black and white cover. 

It seems like either they were wrapping up the office, or we came to a recycle place.

Matt held my hand as he glared at me.

"I am going back; I can't work here,"

I begged him to stand as I walked towards the reception.

When I peeked inside, an old lady coughed and answered me.

"What do you want?" 

"Mam, we got a mail from this publication. You are looking for a writer?"

I smiled and answered.

She raised her eyes from her big glasses as she pointed me towards the head office like she was not interested in answering me.

I signaled Matt to come with me.

As we knocked, a snorted, choked sound came from inside.

"Come in,"

I popped my neck through the cracks of the door; with a broad smile, I said,

"Sir, we got a mail...." I wanted to finish, but before I did, the old man gruffed at me.

"Are you Matt?"

"No, he is here," I pulled Matt in front of him.

He signaled Matt to come inside and told me to wait outside.

Matt seems angry with me, as he didn't want to stay for a single second here in this old rusty place.

I waited outside as I tried to explore the office.

Suddenly someone tapped on my shoulder.

"Aoifee... how are you?" A familiar face popped in front of me.

It was hard to recognize her.

She was Neeral, Caleb's classmate. Well, the last time I saw her; she used to keep tight braids of her long hair, known as the most studious girl in her college.

A brown beauty, with Jed black curly hair and a pointed nose. A perfect Colgate smile. 

"Hey, Neeral. How are you? And you look so different?" 

I asked excitedly.

She hugged me with excitement; we didn't expect to meet like this.

"Well, time taught me how to look better." She winked.

"I am working as an editor for this company." She answered.

I scanned her again; she looked so sexy in her professional attire.

But looking around, a thought crossed my mind, how is it possible for her to work here?

With confusion, I purred.

"For this place?" I tried hard not to make her feel bad about her office place.

She laughed as she understood my hidden message.

"Hahaha, this is our old office. I came here to wrap up all the things. We are shifting out." She informed.

Now, that sounds better to my ears, a new office. That means Matt will not kill me to bring him here.

I smiled.

"What are you doing here?" She questioned.

"Oh, my friend is inside talking to your head." I pointed towards the office.

"Oh, he is my boss's father. The owner of this publication house. This was his office, and now all things are passed down to his son; So his son or my boss wanted to change some old school things."

She tried to give me the information.

 

"That means this is not your office?" I answered.

"Yeah, I am here to clean all these things up as ordered by my boss. "Why did you guys came here?" We settled ourselves on an old couch.

"Oh! We are looking for a job for my friend. He is good at writing, and I thought to explore for him. We actually got an email from your office." I informed her.

"Oh, yes. We are looking fr new talented writers. We are changing a lot of things in our magazine. You know we need a new perspective, that means new, young people with a vision to write something new."

 

Suddenly Matt came out, rolled his eyes.

Neeral and I stood as he walked towards us.

"How was it? What did he say?" I asked.

He looked towards Neeral, and they didn't wait for me to introduce them. Neeral extended her hand unintentionally as she scanned him.

"Hi, I am Neeral,"

"Hi, Matt Donovan," 

I could see their eyes clashes as they were smiling, looking at each other.

"What happened inside?" I interrupted in between their silent eye contacts.

"Nothing special," Matt cut short his answer.

He rolled his eyes as I could feel he was disappointed.

Suddenly, Neeral said.

"Hey, are you free after office hours? I mean, can you come to my office at 5 Pm?" 

Matt looked at me with a confused peer.

"No," He tried to answer, but I punched him slightly.

"Yeah, he will come." I glared at Matt while keeping a smile towards Neeral.

"Ok, great. I will try to set up a meeting with my boss. If possible, wear something formal." She passed her business card.

She hugged me again as she passed goodbyes to us.

We came out.

 

While driving back, Matt asked thousands of questions about her. I gave him all the information that she was my brother's classmate and my writing partner.

"I am not sure about this meeting," he answered.

"Matt, she said, they have a new office. Please go and visit her; she can help us." I tried hard.

He kept quiet when I stopped talking to him.
