Falling For The Tycoon

A Job

LEENA

“Did you have fun last night, Leena?” Anna asks over breakfast.

“I did,” I say, shoving a spoonful of pudding into my mouth.

“Can you tell us about it?” She asks.

Mark shoots me a look as if to warn me not to say anything unpleasant.

I fidget in my seat, “It was amazing, I haven't had that much fun in a long time.”

“I'm glad you enjoyed,” she says.

My mind drifts to last night's events and I continue to wonder who kissed me and why they disappeared. I shouldn't be thinking about it but I am.

Henry pecks Anna's mouth and waves the rest of us goodbye.

Martha scrunches her face, “You two should stop doing that in front of us.”

Mark too, waves us goodbye.

“What job does he do?” I ask.

“He runs a business with his father,” Anna says and I nod, understanding just what she means. “Is there anything you do yourself?”

“I recently graduated college…so I haven't had any real job,” I say. "I worked in a café back home, though."

“What did you study?”

“Videography,” I say.

Her eyes widen, “Really? There's a film making company in need of a videographer. A vacancy was advertised on TV earlier today. You can send in an application if you like.”

I clear my throat, “I'd love to.”

“Great, you can send them an online application and wait to hear from them.”

Martha and I clean the dishes when we're done and sit down to watch a movie afterwards.

My phone rings and I quickly swipe to answer it.

“Mom,” I say.

“Leena, how are you?” She says. “You left home without telling me about it?”

“I thought Dad told you,” I say.

“He did but I'd have appreciated it if you told me about it too. How are you enjoying the new city, though?”

“It's quite interesting,” I say. “How's home?”

“It's great, your Dad, Carissa and I will be going on a short vacation. I wish you would come along.”

My heart breaks for her. I wish I could tell her everything.

“Leena, are you there?” She asks, pulling me out of my thoughts.

“I wish I could come too but I'm good here, I'm even thinking of getting a job,” I say.

“That's brilliant, baby,” she says, her voice proud. “I have to go now, talk to you later. I love you.”

“I love you too,” I say but she has already cut the line.

I go to my bedroom, open my laptop and look up the company Anna told me about.

It's one of the biggest film making companies in the city and I doubt they'd employ an inexperienced videographer but I apply anyway.

In just two hours, I receive an email with instructions to go to the company tomorrow and show my skill.

I tell Anna about it and she excitedly asks me to get ready early tomorrow so that her husband can drop me off at the company headquarters.

I spend most of the night watching tutorial videos about videography in preparation.

There's a light knock at the door before it is opened. Mark walks in and comes to sit on the bed facing me.

“A little birdie told me you're going to Skylar entertainment tomorrow,” he says.

“Yeah,” I say closing my laptop and putting it on the nightstand.

“You should have tried smaller companies before Skylar, the chances of them picking someone without experience from a bunch of experienced individuals are not so high,” he says.

I sigh, “I know but they say a shot not taken is a shot missed so I'll just give it a try.”

“Right, all the best,” he says, standing up. “I just came to wish you a Goodnight. You better be up early tomorrow.”

“Thanks, Goodnight,” I say, falling onto the bed. I sleep almost immediately.

♡♡♡♡

I groan when I'm awakened by the many alarms I set. I haven't had a reason to wake up this early from the time I graduated college. I get out of bed and begin to get ready. Dressing up for interviews is not easy especially if one has no appropriate outfits. I didn't for once think that I'd be interested in finding a job on my holiday so I didn't pack any smart clothes. I wear a pair of blue jeans, a brown sweater and black boots. Not a smart outfit but better than a sluty one. I accessorize with my ruby red earrings that Mom got me as a birthday gift when I turned 19, and a wrist watch before joining everybody downstairs for breakfast.

We leave a few minutes after breakfast and I'm dropped off at the company's entrance with no one to guide me. The man at the entrance asks what I'm here for and when I tell him, he guides me into the building. We take the elevator up to the fifth floor and he asks me to wait in a room full of chairs but no people.

“Am I the first one here?” I ask.

“Apparently,” he says. “But you're probably not going to be the first to be interviewed, there's a list that's going to be followed. You can check it out on the notice board at the back.”

I nod, “Thank you.”

I walk to the back of the room and search for my name on the list. I realize that I am a little too early for the last interviewee. People start joining me in the waiting room and I sit in a corner, plug my airpods and wait. The room slowly gets filled and then a lady starts calling out names one by one.

After several hours of waiting, the lady finally calls out my name and asks me to follow her.

She leads me into an office with a man seated behind a furnished desk and a smartly dressed woman seated on a chair across from him.

“Leena, you're going to video everything that'll be happening in this office and if the outcome is going to be impressive enough, the job will be yours,” The lady says. “The two people in front of you are the actors and as you can see, the equipment is all set. You can begin whenever you're ready.”

She goes to sit in one corner of the office and I go to where all the equipment is set.

I study and adjust the camera and lighting.

With a sigh, I say, “action.”

The actors in front of me begin talking and I begin recording. The male actor walks around the desk to the female and begins to kiss her neck. That makes me a little uncomfortable but I focus on recording. The two start to kiss and touch until the female is bent Butt naked over the desk, taking the man's thrusts with loud ecstatic moans.

The door to the office opens and I turn the lens in that direction as a hot man walks in and stops in his tracks when he's past the door.

“What are you doing here?” The lady in the corner asks.

The actors who were f*****g each other like their s*x could reverse the impact of world war two stop f*****g and look at the man who just entered with reverence.

“Cut!” The man says, looking at me with so much familiarity. “Report for work tomorrow morning.”

With that, he leaves the office.

“We haven't even seen her work yet, Mr. Carter,” The lady who brought me in says, scuttling out of the office.

“I don't care,” I hear the man say before the door is shut by one of the actors.

I don't know why a hot man thinks I'm fit for this job but I do know one thing, I got the job.
