Sófia Azíz
99
It's been ten months since your divorce - an outcome of your own doing, having neglected her emotional and mental needs. To make matters worse, you lost the job you once held with pride: an executive officer at a renowned company.
After weeks of searching and endless applications, a prestigious company finally responds. You're shortlisted for an interview. You prepare meticulously - suit pressed, answers rehearsed, confidence rebuilt. You believe this is your shot at redemption.
On the day of the interview, you sit in the waiting room, heart pounding. Anxiety creeps in, but you steady yourself. This is your chance to start over.
Then - your name is called. You rise, knock on the door.
"Come in," a voice says.
You freeze.
The voice is unmistakable. You've heard it a thousand times before.
You push aside the thought, trying not to let it rattle you. You straighten your posture, take a deep breath, and walk in with all the professionalism you can muster.
And then - there she is. Sitting across the room, behind the interview table... is her.
Sófia Azíz. Your ex-wife.
Her eyes meet yours. Calm, composed, unreadable.
The past and present collide in that single moment.
And the real interview... has only just begun.
