1330 Words
Mr.William, Mr.William, please stop. I want to get your opinion in . . . . .
Oh he looks angry, -said the other employee standing next to him.
But who made him angry like this, it seems to be very serious? -said the other employee in a very low voice.

I couldn't even reply to the staff, but I wanted some rest, so I made my way home, and soon I remembered my mother's calling, so I decided to go to my family's house first.
I took my car, which was parked under the company in a private car park, got into it and played quiet songs and made my way quietly and didn't and won't even think about what my family is trying to do, because they will surely not succeed in what they are trying to do in my future life.

*Sophia P.O.V. :
I was on my way to my office knowing that he might get a call from his father or something like that after I got my family talking to his family.
(Sophia enters her office and her assistant is in the room)
(Her relationship with her assistant was like close friends and she used to tell her a lot of things)
“what is the news ?” -her assistant said while arranging things inside the office.
Everything is going well, maybe.
“maybe ? What do you mean, Sophia?”
I don't know, but I did it to make him get closer to me.
“Come on, tell me, what did you do?” -said the assistant, anxious to know what Sophia had done.
I made my father talk to William's parents and tell them some things that might make William's family love me more and tell William to get closer to me.
She looked at me, my assistant, as she left the order of arranging the boxes in the room and turned to me, I knew she was about to say something.
“That's why William announced his early going today.” -said the assistant in a sharp, calm voice.” And added, “Ahh, I really can’t believe it. I think things are not going to the right path, Sofia.” -She said while turning again in front of her and grabbing the boxes to put them in order.
Oh, do you really think so? I said in a worried voice as I raised my head to look at her.
“maybe ?!” -said the assistant, shrugging her shoulders.
I looked in front of me while my gaze was on the desk with my head slightly lowered and I thought about what I had done, was this restraint and interview a correct thing or not?! I really didn't know, but I just wanted to talk to William and want him to get close to me, did I spoil it more?! Honestly, I didn't like to literally tell my assistant everything, but I didn't see a better person than her to consult and talk to her, so I wasn't too worried about her telling anyone what I told her, because she wouldn't tell others as well as I have known her for so long.
I wanted to go up to the president of the company now ("William's father") and tell him and ask him what happened? Perhaps he told William something that made him upset. But as he used to tell me earlier, “Work is work.” He would not accept to go up to him and talk about anything that is not related to work now, so I had to wait. In any case, this will be evident through his treatment of me in the coming period, and I will know.

*Jessica:
(inside the plane)
“Passengers are requested to prepare for landing. . . . . Now we are at Ottawa International Airport.”
When I heard that I knew we were about to land, Landing into an unknown place for the first time, alone. I was afraid and a little nervous as a girl alone in a country that was the first time I went to, but I had to have some courage to face those fears that were coming and going around inside my mind.
I was ready to carry my bags, and the plane actually landed, took my bags, took the first step with my feet outside the plane, and I was in a new place, Ottawa! While wearing headphones, I listen to some of my favorite playlists, especially the quiet type of them now.
walking towards the exit from the airport after I finished all the papers. I knew that it was coming true inside me, that I could not bear to be forced to approach someone I did not want. . . . . I . . . I just wanted work and not love, but he's a man who really doesn't understand.
My family always told me that “it's hard to find a job but it's even harder to find a perfect one” like the one I was in, at Akira's company in Tokyo.
Therefore, my family was pressuring me to get close to him, because he might promote me at work or hold me to a high position if I married him, as my father told me about that, but vaguely and indirectly.
Indeed, I showed Akira many times that I did not want to approach him for a purpose other than work, but when I was treating him well, his mind would go away, which makes me regret every time I treat him well, so I decided to travel so that this would not change me, Jessica, the good Japanese girl .
And when my parents talked to me about Akira and why I don't want to know him more because he is the president of a company and so on
As my mother told me, “He will make you live like a queen,” but I refused all their invitations regarding this matter because I knew him from afar and I did not like many things about him, that he even smoked cigarettes, and I remember when I saw him hanging out with his friends, they were kinda terrifying and not good friends Absolutely. I have never been comfortable with Akira so many times in the company so how can I accept him as a partner, as my partner in my whole life?
And my parents' response to all of my fears was, "Couldn't it be someone else if you knew more about him?"
Ah, I really don't know what to do. When your family doesn't have your back, it's really the hardest feeling ever.
While I was in the streets of Ottawa, I tried to calm down and distance my mind from excessive and negative thinking and focus on a new life here away from the stresses of the past that happened to me. The first thing I needed to look for was a house, I barely had a lot of money that I had already earned from Akira when I was working there. I was looking left and right looking for a place to show me where I could rent or buy an apartment in one of the neighborhoods of Ottawa.
As I was looking around I saw an advertisement, a huge advertisement with a great look that caught my eye.
(Do you have experience in management and information systems? Do you have experience in cyber security and information technology? Are you a highly qualified and experienced employee? We are hiring now, go to . . . . )
I looked at the ad and freezed for a second.
started writing the address mentioned in the advertisement on my phone and said to myself, “Why don't go and see this job by the way?” It was barely close to my destination when I put the address on my GPS.
