Chapter 51 Zoe - Austin, Tx

• I swear the universe has a sick sense of humor. After a year of rejection emails that felt like papercuts to my miserable soul, I had finally, finally , landed an interview at Oliver Tech Inc. The biggest name in cloud storage this side of Silicon Valley. And I was late for my interview.
• My ancient smartphone, bless its soon-to-be-replaced heart, decided 7:45 AM meant 8:45 AM. I scrambled out of the Uber, my new, interview-appropriate skirt suit feeling less "professional" and more "panic-induced sweat." I burst through the sleek, glass double-doors of the Oliver Tech lobby, skidding to a halt just shy of the marble reception desk.
• “Zoe Knowles, here for the tech intern interview,” I gasped, clutching my chest. “I am so incredibly sorry. My… my alarm clock must have been set to the wrong time zone.”
