Enchanted by the billionaire

Chapter 4

I’ve been told to wait on the line for about an hour. Ugh! I had not bargained for this, and to top it all up, I couldn’t concentrate properly.

That meeting with Scott jarred me senseless. I don’t know what I was going to do anymore. I needed this job, but my mind wasn’t here. It was as if my body was here, and my soul was elsewhere. It was so crazy.

“May you all come in for the written interview,” the receptionist said.

Anna took a deep breath, and followed the rest of the candidates into a hall. She sat down at her allocated spot, and began answering the questions that had been highlighted in blue and red in a small notebook.

As she answered those questions, her attention drifted. She soon remembered how Scott was earlier. Other than his meanness, he was even more handsome than she could put into words. She couldn’t understand it. How did he grow more handsome and hot as the years goes by?

“Anna, jeez! I’ve been waiting for you for close to three hours. Aren’t you going to give me a kiss to makeup for the lost time?” A younger version had said with a pout.

I had laughed at the time. “That’s all you know how to do. You only want us to kiss and kiss like our lives depends on it. I don’t understand why you would be so intense in things like this?”

He rolled his eyes, and pulled me till I was laying right on his body with my hands on his chest to aid my balance. We had looked right into each other’s eyes, and I could remember how we blushed at the slightest thing.

“You always make the weirdest statements when it’s time for us to share a romantic moment. It’s not fair, Anna.”

“Scott, all is fair in love, and…”

“Kiss.” He said and kissed me firmly on the side of my lips.

I remember giggling and trying to hide myself from his piercing gaze, only for me to be tickled relentlessly, and he turned us over, so he was resting right on me. I could feel the intensity of his gaze on me, and it was so intense.

Slowly, my lips parted, and we closed the space.

Despite the fact the memories was from so long, I felt the tingles through my spine. It was like it was happening now, and I wasn’t in this place, trying to sail through my interview.

“You have fifteen minutes to round up,” Mr Athen, the supervisor informed us using the microphone.

I sighed as I stared at the book. I haven’t written so much, and I didn’t even understand what it was that I have written. I had been stuck in the cloud thinking of Scott to make the most of the time I had been offered.

Chances were, I was going to lose this job. It didn’t even make sense that I was thinking about him when he didn’t want to see my face. I was truly crazy, and I was beginning to see that was through.

I took my time to write my name, and sign like I always do to all of my answer sheets. I had literally gambled away my time here. It’s time to look for another company to consult my interview, or I’m afraid I would be forced to go to my parent’s company.

“Ok, guys. That’s enough!” Mr Athen announced.

I placed my things carefully on the table, and walked myself out. I wanted nothing more but to run away from all of the thoughts that were trying to consume me. I could hear Mr Athen say we should hang around so we would be able to know the next candidates to make it to the second phase of the interview. That person would have a one on one with the CEO.

I scoffed. I wasn’t going be to be called, so I didn’t see the need to hang around. But, at the same time, it was rude not to obey them. I walked over to the restroom, and stared at my reflection in the mirror.

“Why did you come back into my life, Scott?” I asked quietly.

None of this made sense to me. I didn’t understand anything. Fate was indeed not my own, and I wasn’t losing a hold on mine as the time flies. Hopefully, I never meet him again. I was in a good relationship with Jace, and I had to respect that.

There was no room for another man in my life, definitely not someone who had made my heart bleed for so many years. I rolled my eyes at my stupidity.

Jeez!

I’m so crazy. Scott will never have anything to do with me again. The look in his eyes when he saw me again, was proof of this. He hated me, and loathe my very existence. I believe the best thing for me was to move on.

A knock.

“I will be out soon.”

I grabbed my things once more, and walked out of the restroom, and towards the interview hall. I was just in time as Mr Athen stepped out of a red office.

“Congratulations on making it this far. I’m afraid, we would be selecting just ten people for the next stage. This will show your mental prowess in handling issues. The CEO is not a completely friendly man, so be warned. I will be calling out the names.” He took the paper from one of the women standing by his side.

“Ok, Anna, you may go in first.”

I stared at him in shock, Did he just call my name? But, I didn’t do well. I swallowed hard as I stepped forward.

“Congratulations, miss. You may go in.”

Another lady held the door open for me to step in. I was so shocked as I stepped into the cold room. In front of me, a man had his head down, scribbling something on a paper so furiously, that it made my tongues dry.

It shouldn’t be him.

“Good day, sir,” I said respectfully.

The door closed at the same moment, he lifted his head. And, I stood staring into Scott’s eyes.
