Her Billionaire Alpha

Chapter 8

Maddison's POV

The whole Eric and the supermarket scenario had me completely freaked out, not to mention the money they had left for me as a tip. Now I know it wasn't a mistake but rather keeping me sweet with that cash. I wonder what they want with someone like me. Oh god, someone with no parents, no boyfriend, no family besides a little brother, what if they were human traffickers ?! I've seen that movie where they kidnap young women and auction them off or get them hooked on drugs by force and then pimp them out. My heart started pounding in my chest and fear coursed through my veins, what if they were watching me now ready to pounce?! That night I called in sick at the club, Andy was totally okay about it, after all I hadn't had a day off since I started. Ben and I ordered in Chinese food as a treat and shared a tub of  cookie dough ice cream afterwards as we watched a superhero movie. I could do with a hero right now. Ben fell asleep before the movie ended and it left me pondering what to do about these s*x gods that are throwing money at me and stalking me. Maybe I should quit the club and look for a normal job I do have a huge responsibility now after all with looking after Ben. I grabbed the local paper that had been delivered the day before. It gives the local news, obituaries and jobs. I flicked through to the job section and started scouring the ads. Majority of the were for either waitress work or the care industry, neither of those really grabbed my attention, I wanted something that I could work my up in life. Then I came across an entry level secretarial position, no experience needed as full training would be provided. The salary wasn't as good as what I could earn at club but then again I highly doubt human traffickers would be hanging out in an office. It said to send my cv to their email address, so I found a template online for cv building and created my very own resume. I checked it over a few times, ok, more than a few times, it was my first go at this after all and when I was happy with it attached it to a cover letter and emailed it to the company. That wasn't so scary after all, now we wait. 

I picked up Ben and carried him upstairs to his bedroom and laid him on his bed, pulling his covers over him. I gave him a kiss on the cheek goodnight, turned off his light and closed the door before making way to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I looked at myself in the bathroom mirror and barely recognised myself. I looked tired. Tired and stressed, maybe a change of job will do me good. I just hope Cara will understand, she has loved having me work with her. I decided I wouldn't mention it until I had an interview for either this job or any other I applied for. I left the bathroom light on in case Ben needed to use it in the night, he is a little scared of the dark still and walked across the landing to my room. I looked at my parents bedroom door opposite mine, I still hadn't managed to go in there yet or sort through any of their belongings. Andrea said that maybe it would help the process if I did and keep things of sentimental value and gift things to charity that I didn't want. How could I not want any of their things, it was still like they were just on an extended vacation. I wiped a stray tear away that had escaped and entered my room, my bed was calling me. As soon as my head hit the pillow thoughts of Jaxon flooded my mind once again, he was seriously starting to get on my nerves with his hotness all up in my head. I tossed and turned for ages until I finally managed to fall into a slumber. 

The next morning came and I woke feeling more adamant about finding a sensible job that would bring zero danger to me. Ben and I did our usual routine of breakfast, wash, brush teeth and get dressed before school. 

" Mad Mads, can we go kool on my kooters today? oh pleeeeeeease" Ben said excitedly

" Yes, we you can ride your scooter to school Ben, it sounds fun!" I replied. I will never get over the cuteness of him, 

I dropped him to school and used his scooter to ride back home, it was kind of fun actually and contemplated buying myself one so I could do it with him. I think he would love that. Once back home I checked my emails and I had a reply already from the application I sent last night. This company were either super efficient or super desperate. They had set me up for an interview the following week, it would mean heading into the city but I loved London, so diverse not to mention the history of it. Looks like it was time call Cara and tell her my plans and that a shopping trip was on the table for some new 'smart' clothes!
