It is 5:30 a.m., and Josey is awakened by the loud moaning sounds coming from her neighbor's apartment. Her neighbor is a young guy, 26 years old, a Cassanova who brings different girls to his apartment every night with some of his friends.
Josey has complained to the housing agency and the police, but nothing has been done about it, leaving her to her fate.
"This rascal again" she cursed, as she yawned, stretching out her hands and legs as she said some words of affirmation to herself.
"I am beautiful, I am Love, I deserve everything good, life's blessings come to me at ease, all that is mine locates me today", she proclaimed.
After three minutes of positive affirmation, Josey strolled to the sitting room to check if her younger sister Lily had spent the night at home. Lily is a student who would sometimes sleep over at her friend's house, Cassie, or would rather sleep on the couch in the sitting room because of Josey's sleeping position, as she would mistakenly push her off the bed while sleeping.
She saw her little sister sleeping peacefully with a blanket wrapped around her body and walked closer to where she lay, planted a kiss on her forehead, and proceeded back to her room to take a shower.
Josey had picked out a plain red-strapped dress with a high back slit, a corporate-looking coarse black jacket, a pair of black stilettos, and a beautiful medium-sized black hand-crafted bag, enough to contain her Cvs and necessary work items the previous night in preparation for her interview the next day.
Josey got out of the shower minutes later, oiled her body, and progressed to doing her makeup. She initially opted for a red lippie but felt it was too inappropriate for an interview, and decided to wear a nude lippie, with her hair in a bun with two side twirls falling from the side of her face.
She threw on her outfits and wore a pair of gold studded earrings and bracelets to finalize the outstanding look. Josey looked like a princess about to address her subjects, with a class of elegance and grace.
Lily, who had woken up, gasped at the sight of her sister who could pass for an attorney, "you look like you want to negotiate a contract, you appear delicate and amazing", Lily remarked, complimenting her sister who was grinning from ear to ear.
"Thank you my baby" Josey reacted ""I am off for the interview, please wish me luck", she pleaded.
"Good luck Sis, I love you, stay safe".
Josey stormed out of the house and walked gracefully to the cab that was waiting for her outside the house.
Twenty minutes later, the cab pulled up in front of the magnificent edifice of the Hensie Group of Companies. Josey stepped out and couldn't help but admire the glorious structure in front of her, but was drawn away by a luxurious G Wagon vehicle that pulled up next to her.
A tall, brown-haired, huge-shouldered, chiseled-faced young man with the rarest dark green eyes in the entire universe she had ever seen stepped out of the car, with his Oak-misty-oud-Cinnamon Scent throwing her off her feet, causing her to temporarily lose her composure as she tripped forward pushing his assistant down with her.
The young man stopped with onlookers gathering in bits, trying to figure out what had just happened. He spoke up immediately "Are you okay"? Josey nodded in the affirmative, as he walked past her without a second glance, moving towards his office.
Everywhere remained still and quiet as the cemetery when he walked past his staff, with a team of 2 bodyguards and an assistant speed-walking behind him trying to catch up with his pace. He suddenly stopped, turned towards his staff and onlookers, and said"It's 8:am, shut the entrance doors, nobody comes in till after the interview is over" he commanded.
The security guards swung into action immediately, shutting the doors and ignoring all pleas from the outsiders. They knew better than flaunting the CEO's orders. They couldn't risk losing their high-paying jobs.
Josey! Alexa, who had spotted her, called out" Ouch, you look so astonishing, I saw the incident that occurred outside, are you okay? Your hair is a bit disorganized, but still cute anyways, "she said with concern in her voice.
"Yeah, I am fine, " Josey replied, "I was mesmerized by that gentleman," his looks screamed "perfection".Josey went on rambling about how cute he was, his demeanor, his voice, and his physique.
Josey! Alexa called out in a stern and annoyed voice "Focus, you have a long way to go, Smith won't be easy on you. If this doesn't work out, you know the consequences of failing at this job", she warned.
"Noted ma, but..do you think I can do this? A flush of red color appeared on her face, her throat parched, and her voice incoherent as she tried to speak. Josey explained the reasons for her fears to Alexa, adding that the aura Hensie carried was too intimidating and scary for her. Alexa scolded her for being pessimistic and offered her a can of water to ease her emotions.
Everyone was startled by the sudden announcement from the Company's intercom speakers "Attention everyone! All applicants should move to the conference room for the final interview. Thank you! The applicants who were already seated at the reception began to move towards the conference room while conversing with each other in low tones.
"How many Panelists would we be facing today ?"Josey asked, moving towards the conference center while being guided by a staff of the company. "Seven Panelists, three major stakeholders, three senior staff, and the CEO of the company ", Alexa answered.
They finally arrived at the conference room and were shown their seats. "By the way, Alexa, do you have any idea about who the good-looking young man I bumped into was? Josey inquired,
"Clark Robinson, a.k.a the "Beast" CEO of Hensie Group of Companies, is his name," Alexa explained.
