Anitta's POV
BOOM! BOOM! The lightning strikes. Today was not a good day. Everyday when it is either rainy or having thunderstorms, Rosie will feel sick or worse gets worse than she is now. I can't help it but to worry for my little sister. She is put up front on the transplant list for 5 years now. Yet, I am still in need of money for her surgery. Getting a new hard is hard, but first, both of us need to survive.
"Hey, Rosie, I need to leave at 3 for my interview. Just make sure that you stay safe okay. I know that you're not feeling well honey but I promise I will return as soon as possible after the interview."
"Yes, sis. Don't worry I will be fine." She croaks. Damn. She looks worse. I don't want to leave her, yet I have no choice.
I straightened my outfit for the interview. The one and only business attire I tried to get from the thrift store. It looks like rag but I got no hopes left to pray for my luck to come today. I put on some mascara and lip gloss and leave the hospital room.
"ANITTA RAYNOTT" I stood up looking at the woman who is calling my name. "This way please."
As the door opens, I step inside a large conference room. There are 2 man on the panel for the interview. They are looking at me sternly as I slowly sit down and face them.
"Hello, Ms. Raynott, you are here for the temporary assistant position, I assume?"
"Yes, sir."
"I see. What qualities do you think you can do well as a temporary assistant?"
"I am a hard-working and very patient person so I think that I can become a good temporary assistant, sir."
"Very well, I see that our interview here is done. Please return and we will announce tonight if you would get this position."
"Thank you, sir." I croak knowing that there would not be a chance for me to get this job. As I step out, all the women waiting in line look at me like I was some rag doll. Partly true because they think that I wouldn't get the job anyway. I sigh and start walking towards the elevator. As soon as I step it, I could feel the presence of the strong masculine smell behind me but I didn't say a word nor did I turn my head. I just keep staring down until the elevator comes to a stop and I walk out.
I feel helpless wishing that I could do more for my sister. I am just too tired, too exhausted of keeping up with everything. As I walk, I could feel my head pounding and just that I fell into a pair of strong arms.
The smell, the strong masculine smell.
Jared's POV
Today is a horrible day. I got 5 meetings on my schedule and I am just tired to conduct more meetings. My temp, who is useless and could not make me any decent coffee, just spilled water on my shirt and now I am fueled up with anger.
Maria, my PA, is out because of the pregnancy leave. She always make sure that my coffee is done and my work is good. And now, I am stuck with a dumbass girl.
"Jane, how are the interviews going, I need you to get me a list of the finalists in now." I shout in anger.
"Y-y-yes, s-sir." I let out a small sigh knowing that the useless girl won't get anything done in time.
30 minutes later she finally came in with the finalists. The first CV caught my sight. It was her, the girl with the hazel eyes that is still lingering in my mind. I can't get her out of my head nor can I do anything to forget her. I let out a small smirk, "I will see you again, Ms. Raynott."
As I make my way down to the lobby, I could feel her, the hazel eyes girl running into the elevator. She looks sad and tired. She is small, way too small for me. She seriously needs to eat more and I will have the power to do so. DING! The elevator comes to a stop and as it opens, she hurries out the elevator looking like she want to get out of the place as quick as possible. Just then, she fell down the ground and right in front of me.
Anitta's POV
I wake up in a very comfy bed. I groan as my head is currently pounding and I feel like I have no energy left in my body. As I scan around the room, I could see that I am currently in a very big master bedroom. The interior designs are way over my part time salaries and I am left confused.
'Who could possibly bring me up here? Where am I?
I could see my bag over on the counter and go up to grab my phone. Rosie. Rosie is sick today. I need to get out of here and get back to her. I am constantly worried about Rosie and now is not the time to leave her alone in the hospital. As I try to grab my bag and leave, I could feel a strong masculine step going my way and I stop dead in my tracks.
"You shouldn't be leaving. You need to stay in bed and REST!" The man shouts. I cringe. The last time I have heard somebody shout at me like this was 16 years ago. I start to tremble and shake. I can't breathe. The trauma that time come back to me like a flood. He shouted as he grabbed mommy. Mommy couldn't breathe and the man was yelling loudly into our ears demanding money and food.
As the man starts to walk over to me, I flinch not letting him to get any nearer to me.
"Hey, I will not hurt you. Lie down and rest!"
"W-w-who a-a-are y-you?" I need to run. Get out of here, Anitta. As soon as possible, Rosie needs you. Get away from this man.
"Don't even think of escaping. If you walk out of that door, I swear I will tie you to my bed. Turn around and look at me. Do you not know who I am?" With that, I turn and see a beautiful handsome face. God. He looks like a greek god. Snap out of it, Anitta. You need to get to Rosie.
"I am s-s-sorry, s-sir but I really don't know who you are. I am thankful for your help. I am sorry but I need to get going." I run straight for the door and exit the building leaving a shocked Jared Dimitrou. I quickly hail a cab and go back to Rosie.
Little did I know that I made a little mistake. Nobody has dared to walk out on Jared Dimitrou.
