Tracy stepped out, gorgeously dressed in a hot red shirt and back trouser. Her red shoe and bag perfectly matched her outfit. The fragrance of her perfume was delightful. She really dressed to impress.

Her destination was a cosmetics production industry. She had just concluded her NYSC and was searching for a job. Her father reached out to Mr. Victor the Managing Director of the company and begged him to offer his daughter an employment. Tracy’s father was a personal driver to Victor’s father.

There was actually no vacancy in the company at that moment. But Mr. Victor’s wife begged her husband to consider the request.

When Tracy got to the company, Mr Victor was not around so the secretary ask her to sit and wait.

As Tracy was waiting a middle aged woman walked into the reception. She was dressed in a simple flowered material and a flat leather sandals.
She was on phone call, so she just waved at every one with smiles and sat close to Tracy.

Her bag slightly touched Tracy and she flared up.

“Madam, please keep your bag well,” Tracy snapped at her.

The woman shifted a bit. She was still talking on phone, so she made a signal of apology to Tracy.

After a few seconds, Tracy shouted again, “Madam, I don’t like this, you are inconveniencing me with your bag.”

The woman quietly got up and moved to another chair.

The receptionist was somehow alarmed and wondered why the lady was shouting at her boss’s wife.

The MD himself was about coming inside the office. He also watched the drama.

Immediately he came in, Tracy suspected that he might be the MD because of the way the receptionist greeted him.

“Good morning sir,” Tracy stood and greeted with smiles.

“Good morning, Who is she? the MD asked, directing the question to the receptionist.

“She is from one Mr. Donald.”

“Yes sir. I am Tracy Donald. My dad sent me to you,” Tracy informed Mr. Victor with smiles.

“Really?” Mr Victor asked.

“Yes sir. My daddy said you asked me to come today for an interview.”

“Are you ready for the interview?” Mr. Victor asked.

“Yes sir. I’m set, even my academic credentials are with me.”

“Wow! that’s impressive. You remembered to come with your academic credentials but forgot your manner. Please go home, search for your manner and add it to your academic credentials. Those are the two major qualifications for people that work in my office. You have not even gotten the job and you are ordering my wife around. You may take your leave..”
