Miss Judy; Mr. Edward will see you now, the secretary informed her. Who is Mr. Edward, please? She asked. Oh sorry, Gabrielle smiled. The CEO, his name is Mr. Edwards. Oh, okay.
Please follow me, she told Judy. Judy followed her through the walkway to a beautifully well-made door that looked different from every other door she had come across in the company. Please go inside; he is waiting for you, she smiled again.
Thank you, Judy said but looked very nervous. You will be fine; wish you good luck, Gabby said and walked away. Judy knocked gently at the door; come in, she heard a male's voice. She opened the door slightly and went inside, she was very tense.
But the sight she met melted her heart, Mr. Edwards was so handsome. Wow, he looks like a movie superstar. So good looking, she said to herself but quickly waved off the thoughts she was having.
Good day sir, she said still standing. Please sit down, Mr. Edwards said while looking into his laptop probably to check something. Thank you sir, she responded. She could not help but notice all his physical attributes, and she admired the CEO of Whiteberg resources so much.
He was dark and had a finely cut face which comprised of big eyeballs, a pointed nose, beautiful lips, and a nice set of teeth which was seen whenever he talked or smiled. He also had dreadlocks on and was probably tall but she could not tell since he was sitting down.
All these thoughts were in her heart when she heard her name. Miss Judy, Mr. Edwards called out to her still looking into his laptop.
Yes, miss...he raised his face to behold the beauty that was sitting right in front of him. He was speechless and amazed at the creator's work of art. He could not stop looking at her, is everything okay sir? She finally mustered the courage to ask him.
Oh, I am fine, thank you. Miss Judy, right? Yes, sir, I am Judy but Judith in full. Okay Judith, are you sure you can work with me? Yes, sir, I can work with you. I can be very difficult sometimes and not easy to please. I love excellent, composure and I love my work to be very neat, he explained.
No problem sir, I think I can cope. Okay, if you say so. Tell me more about yourself, he requested. Judith talked for a while and he also asked her other question.
They ended up talking and laughing, she was the last candidate to be interviewed for the day. They got along very well like they have known each other for a long time.
She looked at her wristwatch and saw that the time was far spent, it was 2:00 pm already. I beg to take my leave sir, she told Mr. Edwards.
Okay, no problem. You will get a mail from us. No problem sir; thank you very much, Judy replied. Alright bye. Such a sweet soul, Mr. Edwards chuckled.
Later that evening...
Judy laid down on her bed watching a movie, the day had been hectic and she was trying to relax. The movie was interesting, so she laughed occasionally.
After about two hours, she got tired of watching movies and decided to check the happenings on social data. She saw the beep of a sss icon and decided to check what is, they were many.
She had not check her mails in a while, she started checking them one after the other.. She was still checking it when the phone beeped again. The sender had the name "Whiteberg resources" on it.
Judy opened the mail in a hurry, she was not really expecting anything. To her, it was a 50-50 thing. She may get the job and she may not. To her surprise; she saw a congratulatory message "congratulations ma'am, you are to resume exactly 7:45 am tomorrow".
She screamed so loud, she could not believe it. She ran straight to her parents room. Mum, dad come and see. I got the job, she said while running to her parents room.
She knocked seriously on the door but there was no answer, her parents were probably asleep. Not a problem, she smiled to herself. I will inform them in the morning, mum and dad will be so happy.
I need to celebrate, I have to. She took a pack of juice from the fridge and glass too then she went straight to her room to enjoy.
THE NEXT MORNING.
At exactly 7:30 am, Judy got to the company and was directed to sit at the reception hall. She was well dressed, so much so that the secretary had to complement her that morning.
After about 5 minutes, Gabby came to meet her. Please follow me, she said with a smile. Gabby was one of a kind, she smiled a lot. The main reason she was employed as the company's secretary.
Okay, Judy replied. Gabby took her inside Mr. Edwards office but he was not there. I am sure he is in the restroom, let us wait for five more minutes.
Just then he came in from the restroom. Good morning sir, Judy greeted and he mumbled something which sounded like a response. Greetings Mr. Edwards; Hey Gabby, Mr. Edwards responded with a very serious look. Thank you, you can go now. Okay sir, Gabrielle replied and left immediately.
"He is looking too serious compared to yesterday, I wonder what the problem is" Judy said to herself while she was still standing. Have a seat Miss. Judy. Thank you sir, she smiled.
Did Gabby tell you anything? He asked. No sir, she did not. I see; well, since you are fresh from the University with no prior experience, you will be working with us as an intern.
An intern? Judy's facial expression changed. Yes, but for a month or two depending on your performance and so you can master the art of being a productive marketing officer. Okay sir, she replied. And don't worry, your salary is the same. Thank you sir, she faked a smile.
So meet Mrs. Audrey, she will tell you what to do. She is the head of marketing, just tell Gabby to take you to her. If you do well within the speculated time, then you will be given an office and you will work with me personally. Alright sir, thank you.
It is okay, please see her now. Thank you sir, she said again, wondering why he was sounding different from how he was the previous day. Well I understand; he is the boss and can do anything, she thought as she walked outside the office.
Mr. Edwards could not help but notice her curves which reflected in the black, fitted, knee-length gown she was wearing; this lady is pretty, he said to himself. "But they are all the same, they want my money and besides I cannot have anything with an intern in my company. Just as he was thinking, his phone rang.
Who could be calling me at this time? He picked up the phone and realized it was his mum calling. He picked up; " hello mum, okay I will be there soon", and he ended the call. Mum, you will never stop, he smiled and shook his head.
Judy told Gabby exactly what Mr. Edwards said. Oh, it is fine, I will take you to her right away. And by the way, congratulations on your new job. Thank you, Judy replied. Please follow me, let me take you to Mrs. Audrey Peters. Judy smiled, okay.
As they walked to Mrs. Audrey's office, she looked at the interiors of the company and discovered that it was a beautiful place with incredible finishing. The boss has good taste and class, she reasoned in her heart.
They got to Mrs. Audrey's office and Gabrielle knocked at the door. "Who is there"? They heard a sonorous female voice, it's Gabby ma'am. Oh Gabby, come on in. Judy didn't know what to expect but she kept her cool.
Gabrielle pulled on the knob on the door and went inside while Judy followed. Good morning ma'am, she saluted and Judy also greeted her. Hello, she said with a smile. "She seems nice," Gabby imagined.
She also looked like a woman in her mid 30's, she was dark in complextion and very beautiful. "How can a woman be this beautiful and courteous at the same time"? Gabby reasoned. She must be an Angel, she concluded.
Oh, miss Gabby, Mr. Edwards called to inform me that we have a new intern that will be functioning in the marketing department. Yes ma, that is actually why I am here. This is our new intern ma'am. Oh, what a beauty, have your seat miss. She said trying to remember her name, ...Judy ma, My name is Judy Gilbert, she replied. Let me allow the both of you, Gabby said. "Okay, thank you so much" Mrs. Peters affirmed. "Take care Judy", Gabrielle smiled and Judith smiled back
Oh Judy, welcome to Whiteberg resources. I am Audrey, the marketing executive officer. I hope we can work as a team and make things better. I also started as an intern some years ago but look at how far I have come "As long as you do your job well; we will have no problems, and your promotion will come very fast as well" Mrs. Peters stated. Okay ma, I promise to do my best.
You will be sharing this office with me for now; you can use the space over there, she pointed to a table just a little bit far from hers. And let me know if there is anything you do not understand, she added.
Alright ma; thank you so much, Judy thanked her. Okay, arrange your things and just settle down so we can start work properly.
She got to her table and saw that it was already arranged and there was a bookshelf too where she could arrange certain documents, everything was just in place.
She finished and went back to the executive marketing officer. I am ready to work now ma, she said still looking tensed. "Relax Judy, I do not bite," Mrs. Peters said seeing the reaction on Judy's face. Judy faked a smile, yes ma.
Here, take these documents and sort them out. They contain certain information about one of our Investors, I need you to enter them correctly into our company's database. Look at it very well, so you don't type the wrong information. It has a lot of numbers, so be careful. You can use the laptop on your table, okay ma Judy said. She took the documents and went to start work.
