The Dangerous Obsession

NewBeginning

Carly’s Pov

Morning, I woke up early my heart was already racing a dull throb of anxiety resonating in my body.

Trying to motivate myself that it will turn out well.

It’s 7:02am.

I made breakfast, picked up my phone to keep track of time.

I returned to my wardrobe to pick a formal outfit to look professional but not over dressed.

Then I stood in front the mirror to check out my outfit.

I comb my hair, did little makeup, flickered a bit on strawberry perfume on my body to calm the jittery on my nerves.

And grab my bag, picked up my phone and locked my apartment door then I left.

I took a cab the ride was about thirty minutes.

Some minutes after I reached my destination.

I took a deep breath.

When I got to the lobby.

I met a receptionist then greeted her.

“Good morning Ma.”

“Good morning,” she replied.

“How may I help you?” She asked.

“ My name is Carly Raye,” I’m here for an interview.

Yes you can have a sit over there while I inform the boss.

“Thank you.”

I seat at the waiting area.

Few minutes later, the receptionist called for my attention and I walked up to her.

“Miss Carly,” Mr Grayson said you can come now just take the elevator to thirty fourth floor.

“Thank you.”

She nodded in return.

I stepped inside the elevator and it closed.

Then I pressed the floor button.

It began to move upward.

The thought of how the interview will go crossed my mind.

The elevator door opens but not at the exact floor.

Mr Grayson walked in with someone and they seems close.

My heart skipped.

I thought he will inside his office.

I greeted them but it was the second man that took a glance at me and replied.

This man that ignored must be the famous Ceo.

“You must be the candidate for the interview?”

Yes sir, I replied.

I try not to show how nervous I was.

The elevator finally opened.

“Miss Carly, come with me.”

I stepped out and followed his lead.

We walked down the hallway.

He stopped at a door open it and entered the office, I also walked in behind me.

He walk round the office and pulled out his chair facing his desk.

I stood there waiting for him to say something, so I won’t be too forward.

“You can have sit,” he said.

I seat down opposite of him.

Miss Carly, we have received your credential documents and decided to invite you here for an interview, companies like ours hired based on experience and qualifications.

“Why should this position be considered yours?”

I know I lacked experience, but if I get the chance to work at your company I can secure clients and build reputation with them and manage work under pressure.

He looked at me.

Why do you need this job?

I need a break through and the opportunity to prove my ability.

I breath in and out slowly.

Well then, you’re hired.

Really, I’m hired?

“Yes.”

“Thank you sir, I appreciate this given opportunity.

They’re rules to follow since you will be my secretary.

Before he starts talking someone stormed into the office.

A beautiful woman walked in confidently without knocking, she just interrupted the conversation still wondering who is she?

And her face was full of anger she looked down to my side then stare at my new boss.

"Grayson, when do all this start here? calling for interview and hiring without my consent has it gotten to this point?"

She looked disappointed.

"I could remember that's not our agreements."

I sat there thinking about what's wrong.

The first here and it seems like there's problem.

I sat there confused.

Still can’t believe you hired a new secretary after we both not to accept any and you couldn’t involve me.

He looked at in distrust.

“Don’t do this here.”

“Don’t do this here?” She repeated. You need to tell me your motive for hiring a secretary behind me.

She turned her head and gave me deadly stare.

I buried my face down in fears.

“Miss Carly, please excuse us.”

“Okay sir.”

I picked up my bag and quietly walked out of the office.

I just stood at the hallway, in shocked, and lots of questions ran through my mind.

Did she even know me from somewhere?

I’ve never seen her before.How can someone just bashed in and started talking down on me.

I could barely hear their voices, but argument still going on in there.

Have never been this confused in my entire existence.

Her stares says things I can’t comprehend into words.

I took a glance at my phone.

After some minutes passed.

Still no response from Mr Grayson.

I walked into the elevator to wait at the lobby.

I stead for thirty minutes eventually the receptionist walked up to me.

“Miss Carly?”

“Yes?”

She seems reluctant.

“Mr Grayson said you should go home for today.”

My stomach tightened.

“I should go home?” I repeated.

Yes, she replied.

“Am I been rejected stylish?” I said to my

It’s barely hired up to an two hours and they’re sending me home?

I strained a smile.

“Thank you.”

I quietly stood up and picked up my bag, my legs couldn’t move fast.

I walked towards the entrance, going back without a proper explanation of what happened back there.

I kept bothering my mind with questions, is taking this job a right decision ?
