As I entered my home in the apartment complex, I felt at ease. I laid my purse on the dining table and walked into my room. I came back out wearing spandex, a long white t-shirt, and some fuzzy socks. I made my way to the kitchen and cooked up some macaroni and cheese and ate it on the couch. When I finished I laid the bowl on the coffee table. I then pulled the blanket over myself and settled into the couch. I flipped through the channels on the tv until I found a romance reality show. After a while, my cat, Felix, crawled on me and snuggled on my stomach. He eventually fell asleep and so did I.
Ring. Ring. Ring.
I fluttered my eyes open. It was dark. I looked over at the clock above the stove. It was 8:30 pm. I heard my phone ring again and this time I quickly uncovered myself and made my way to my purse. I looked at the caller ID and it said unknown. I answered.
"Hello?"
"Miss Owens," a familiar voice spoke out. It was the girl who showed me to the waiting area earlier today. "Mr. Carter would like to see you now in his office."
"What now?," I asked.
"Yes, ma'am."
"Okay, well tell him I'll be there in 15 minutes." I hung up and quickly dressed back into my original outfit. I grabbed my purse and gave a quick hug to Felix.
I entered the building and was led, once again, to the waiting area just outside his office. I was there about five minutes when I heard his door open.
