Thread of fate

i awfully hope today won't be like everyday of my life, what am I even hoping for?,I have always lived my life like a chicken docking from an eagle since the day I left my mother's.....well you could say my step mother's house after the fight. I can still picture her screaming at me'' to find a solution to my wretched life" not that I'll blame her anyway, it's enough to raise one's eyebrows when you find a woman of age twenty nine apparently thirty still living with her parents with no tangible job to boast of . "well well I guess I need to get up and start to prepare for the day ahead ",I murmured to myself, I'm supposed to be at an interview by eight thirty on the dot which means I've less than an hour to get myself ready since my alarm reads several minutes past seven not that I care to confirm though. I rolled the duffet off me as I got up from the bed to shower,I know my bathroom is a mess but at least it's better than the one at my previous house where you're always at a looks out for pervert who love to peep at lasses while they bath, it was one hell of an experience. "hello Mrs parker how's your day going"I asked my neighbor as I stepped out of my house to embrace the chilly atmosphere of the morning it seems we are moving to winter ,oh I hate cold. "hey Audrey you know it couldn't be any better,are you going out dear? how about you have some bonce before you go, it as sweet as auntie always make it" "oh nevermind I'm running late already I don't have the time to spare for that" "hey.......(muffled voices)",I didn't wait for her to finish whatever she wanted to say before I ran off to the nearest subway to catch a ride,if only I have a car of my own I wouldn't have to worry about having to rush myself every single day just to go to a place. *** "next", that alone is enough to give me a heart attack, it's not that I'm not prepared for the interview it's just that every candidates ahead of me didn't even spend a minutes before they were rejected and I desperately need this job, not getting it means bracing myself to start feeding off the street,my worst nightmare ever. squaring my shoulder I walked into the well polished but cold..no not cold but gloomy office,seated at the other side of the table is a man whom if you meet on regular day you would assume is an idol (k-pop idol)of course except for those piercing eagle eyes that seem capable of reading through your thoughts,not that I would deny that any way. "we could seat here all day staring at each other miss Audrey.if that's what you want" a deep masculine yet magnetic voice rolled out of his mouth like waves of a sea. "okay",of course that was my hypnotized mind speaking how could I possibly agree to such sarcastic! request that would be practically shooting my self on the foot. "tell me about yourself " he asked. "sure, I'm a business administrator and I've worked as a manager and personal assistant in several companies.i focus on learning fast, solving problems, and adding real value to the team." okay! I think I'm killing this even though I'm finding it hard to ignore how the intensity of his gaze is killing me where I am. "why do you want this job?" "the role matches my skills and interests,and I appreciate the company's direction.it feels like a place where I can grow and contribute long term." "what are your strengths?" "I'm consistent, reliable and good at problem solving,I stay calm under pressure and I focus on getting things done." "what is your greatest weakness?" "I used to take on everything myself but I've learned to prioritize better and ask for help when needed'' "why do you think we should hire you ?" "I bring the right skills,a strong work ethic, and a mindset focused on results,I don't just do tasks. I take ownership " "that's great, how do you handle feedback and criticism?" "I see feedback as a chance to improve and apply it constructively" "do you have any any questions for us?" "yes. what does success look like in this role during the first few months?" "that's impressive miss Stanford,you are hired.you can bring your resume on Monday to check in at the office,it a pleasure to work with you" (thank goodness that was a close one (⁠^⁠^⁠))he shook my hand as he rose up from his chair giving me the opportunity to see his full physique, hell he's damn tall and muscular albeit with a lesser frame.I still can't get over the fact that this alpha will soon become my boss ,what if I seduce him?, having an office romance isn't totally a bad idea though the thrill of having an affair with fear of being caught will definitely be exciting (slap)oh no no no Audrey think straight he's your boss-to be you can't start having such dirty thought about him. "any problem miss audrey?" "no sir, excuse me",uhnnn so embarrassing,did I just space out in front of him. "I heard it was mr.rokswood that interviewed them" "so did I,aww those poor souls I'm sure none of them is getting the job this time around when it's that stoic boss of yours that interview them, some of them must have pied their panties before they even started (laugh......)so hilarious ouch!my stomach hurts" "what do you mean my boss isn't he also yours" "hey why are you angry?,it was only a figure of speech" "nether less I believe assistant Zhou said a woman actually got hired" "a woman?......wow that has never happened in history, isn't that going to be detrimental to his reputation though" "reputation you say, you have been working in this company for close to five years and yet you don't know your boss, does he seem to you like someone who cares about something as diminutive as the so called reputation " "she must be quite impressive" "of course our president's standard is too high for her not to be impressive " I overheard two workers gossiping as I got to the reception room,I can't believe this people have the time to gossip at working hour "I can see you're having a great time chattering what are you talking about I will like to join in too" an Asian looking man whom I assume is the Mr.zhou they were referring to said as I was about to go my way "we are sorry sir" I guess it's the same everywhere.
