Against Our Love

Chapter 4

LUIS POV

She is really beautiful and communicates really well but I can't afford to have her hired as my secretary because of her educational level. But how come this beautiful girl did not complete her college education. I kept wondering in my head.

Luis what are you thinking about?.My mom screamed at me to get my attention . Sorry mom, I was just deliberating on some things in my head. So as I was saying,I really love her qualities especially the way she communicates but am sorry I can't hire her as my secretary because she is inexperienced and moreover she didn't complete college. I want an experienced and certified secretary to handle my meetings with my domestic and international clients. I fear she will mess things up for me because of her inexperience. Am sorry mom . But if she is really eager to work in my company,we have a vacancy in the cleaning department. If she accepts this offer,then I will let her start working as soon as possible.

Well I think I have to give this young lady some time to think and make a better decision for herself. My mom said, It's getting late and I would like to take our leave. We will definitely get back to you. My mom added.

Good night mom,we exchanged hugs as he took their leave. Thank you so much Sir,I will definitely get your better response as soon as possible. Am grateful for this opportunity. Maria thanked me as they left but I realized her angry face although she tried to hide it.

MARIA'S POV

What nonsense,who the hell does he think he is? After allowing me to talk and show him what I can do,the only thing he could offer me is a cleaning job??. What was my offense?. What did I say wrong? I know I dropped out of college but is that a good reason to decline my request as your secretary?. Margaret was right, dropping out of college wasn't the best decision at all. I kept murmuring as I expressed my disappointment while undressing.

Hello Margaret,you were right about the disadvantages of dropping out of college. Can you imagine what happened today?.

Calm down Maria,what happened. She asked.

Tell me Margaret,don't I speak well??. Am I not good enough to be a secretary?. Can't I schedule business meetings?. You can Maria. Come on, tell me what happened today. What did madam Angela's son say to you? How did the meeting go? She asked curiously.

Can you imagine,he said because I dropped out of college,he can't give me the secretary position and he could only offer me a cleaning job in his office if I am eager to work with him. Who says that Margaret,who says that if not for that arrogant and bossy son of Madam Angela. I continued to express my disappointment to Margaret on the phone.

Calm down Maria,I think you need to take some things into consideration before making your final decision. Your dad is still recovering from his surgery and you also need a job to be able to take care of his needs and yours. Margaret said. I suggest you take up the cleaning position in order to earn money for you and your dad. I know you don't like Luis's attitude but that's the only opportunity you have now . Margaret advised.

Well you have a point but I can't really tolerate his attitude if I agree to work with him. He is very annoying and too bossy. I will just relax and make my final decision before I meet madam Angela tomorrow. Thank you so much for your advice Margaret, have a wonderful night and study hard. I said as I lay down on my bed to sleep.
