FELICITY
“Late, late, late,” I scolded myself as I dashed through the lobby of my
building. “Always late. When am I going to learn?”
I was wearing a black pencil skirt, which prevented me from breaking into a
full-tilt run, and the heels I’d borrowed from my roommate, Nina, were
shaped to her feet, not mine, and I kept worrying they were going to fall off.
I paused to glance in the giant gold mirror above the flower arrangement to
make sure there was nothing in the teeth I’d forgotten to brush, making Carl
the doorman laugh at me. He’d worked in the lobby since I’d moved into
Nina’s apartment, which meant he had a front row seat to the mess that was
my life.
“Ya look gorgeous, as usual, kid,” he said, his Bronx accent bouncing off
the walls. He slid out from behind the desk to beat me to the door. “Prettiest
tenant in the building.”
I knew that was a lie, because the Central Park Tower was also the home of
models, mistresses, and well-preserved ladies who lunch. It was a luxury
building I had no business being in, all thanks to the rich aunt who’d left
her apartment to Nina when she passed.
“You flatter me, Carl. I feel like a total mess.” I managed to grin back at
him as I re-tucked the back of the fitted pink blouse into my skirt.
“Hopefully I can fake it because this is an interview with Veritique. I really
want this job!”
And I really needed it, but I wasn’t about to admit that out loud. My gig
work as a marketing and PR strategist for small businesses was keeping my
bills paid, but just barely. I didn’t like looking at my bank account because
the reality of how dire things were for me was always right there in black
and white.
Living like this, as a freelancer with my fingers perpetually
crossed until the next gig materialized, was too stressful for me. I needed an
income I could depend on—and hopefully one that would finally let me
build up some savings for a change. Then, Nina and I could finally start
thinking about how to make our dream of starting our own bookshop a
reality.
That’s where this interview came in. It was my ticket to stability, and
eventually, my next big step.
“Well, then, best of luck,” Carl said as he reached for the door. He tipped
his head at me wearing the tight smile I’d seen him use with the fancy folks
in the building.
I wondered why he’d switched to being formal when we were used to
gossiping and cackling together, but then I saw movement near the elevator
out of the corner of my eye. Someone was coming. Our casual friendship
was probably considered outré by some of the snobs who lived here. For
my part, I didn’t give a damn what they thought of me, but I didn’t want to
get Carl in trouble, so I followed his lead.
“Why, thank you, sir,” I winked at him as I stepped out into the bright
morning sunlight.
