HIS ADDICTION

Chapter 6

Maelie's POV

"Hey that dress doesn't suit you for the interview, you have to remember you are getting interviewed by the top company in the states." Cherry tell me as she rumages through my wardrobe. I let her choose my outfit for me as I do my hair and finish up on my make up. "So how was your weekend" I ask her. She got back today because I have an interview and it was a big day for me. "I was taken on a private jet ride and I'll fill you in on the details later when you come back." she says giggling. "I almost got myself fired also" I tell her as I laugh remembering how I ran out that room hours after I almost passed out. I had to call in sick the next two days to avoid being scolded by our boss and to avoid running into that guy whose name I don't even know and yet he gave me the best night of my life. I also recieved two hundred grand in my account the next day and somehow I knew it was from him. I know Brian did not tell him my name or anything other than my account number because he insisted on wiring the money to my account as an apology for 'pissing me off' as he put it.

Cherry picks a navy blue pensil skirt and beige almost dusty pink top for me. Its simple yet elegant . I dress up and check my documents one more time just to ensure I haven't forgotten anything. " Wish me luck love." I tell her and she hugs me and straightens a few loose strands on my messy bun. She is not just my best friend.She is the only family I have after my aunt cut me off when I got the scholarship and refused to give it to her daughter. She is the only one who has ever genuinely cared for me. " You are the best they will ever have. If that person doesn't hire you it's their loss. Also remember that I've got your back no matter what happens." she kisses my cheeck as she pushes me out of the apartment. "Your taxi is waiting down in the drive way. Call me once you get there." she shouts as I walk away . "I love you too" I shout back and hurry down the stairs.

"Good morning miss, you look stunning where are you heading to?" my taxi driver asks and I smile at him. " To Pioneer Group head office and you look lovely too." I reply. He is a middle age man and has a lively vibe. " You going for an interview or reporting to work?" he asks again.

"I'm going for an interview I'm really nervous." I tell him . " You are doing okay so far, I'm sure you will pass the interview you look like a very hardworking young lady your parents are lucky to have you as a daughter." he tells me and I wish it was true, the parents part that is. " I have a daughter your age she is yet to graduate from college." Our conversation flows in that direction and he cheers me up. I get off and he politely turns down my tip and says I need more of it than him. He wishes me luck one last time and drives off and for the first time I wish I had a father like him.

I push those dark thought at the back of my mind and walk into the building. It is a magnificent building, the security and the receptionist are so polite and I begin to understand why it is the top company. " Good morning I'm Maelie and I am here for an interview." I tell the receptionist who smiles at me warmly. "Good morning to you too, you are here for an interview for which position if I may ask. The interviews are being held in different floors and different people." he tells me." for the personal assistant position" I tell him and he gives me a complicated look then says " its on the forty second floor. You will find a secretary who will then direct you from there. Use the elevator on the other side it is always less crowded. Good luck in your interview." I thank him as I go for the elevator.

The elevator door opens and I see nineteen people already waiting in the lobby and my heart sinks. I don't stand a chance against them. I sit down quitely as the secretary takes my documents. I close my eyes and lean back on the coach as I listen to the conversation around me. Everyone is bragging about going to Harvard and Wharton, others are bragging about how powerful and well connected their families are. My hopes get shuttered with each passing minute. The interview starts and they come out of the office with different expressions, others are happy , some are almost crying, some are crying on the phone telling their parents they got turned down.One lady in a red short dress even told us we are wasting our time because she had been picked already her father is a senator or so I heard. Everyone has been interviewed and I'm the last to be called in.

I knock and a familiar voice tells me to go in. I open the door and stop in my tracks. I want to run away but my feet can't move. The memories from that night come crushing down on me. I remember how his hands felt on my body, how his lips felt on my,they way he chocked my leaving me gasping for air as he thrust deep, harder and faster making me beg him to stop and wanting more at the same time, I still feel him tounge licking me, I remember begging him to let me c*m and I feel my pant dumpen just at the memory of that night. "Ms. Maelie Cresent.." the man sitting next to him calls bringing me back to reality. I walk towards them and sit across them. I feel his eyes on ,I feel hot and embarrassed at the same time. "You are hired" that is all I hear.I was not even interviewed. I want to run out of the office but I can't.
