Well,I finally got the job. The sole purpose of me to travel all this way was to get this job, and I finally got it. If that was it. Then why did I keep asking myself something is missing or something isn't right. I was excited for the job, but I was also, for some reason, not much focused. Like my mind kept asking myself, was it really the job I needed. I fell asleep that night with that question running in my head. The next morning, I woke up, and I did my usual exercise and hoped to see her do hers too, but she wasn't there. I guess now I had a job that meant I had not enough time to wait on her, so I had to go. I went to work. The lady that was at the interview. Her name, I think, was Bethany. She accompanied me to my office. She said," That her boss told her to help me find my way to my office. It was my first day. Plus, I didn't have much work. So, I said, "Yes. I was introduced to a lot of new people there,yet the feeling remained. That I still don't have what I wanted." It is obvious that I wasn't craving for a job any more my heart had something else in mind. Something more a simple job. At lunch; I went to the coffee shop nearby. Bethany saw me going and asked to accompany me even tho I didn't need her company, but in respect, I couldn't say no. So I let her come after that the same thing started happening for a few days because of which I started avoiding her. I used to respect her thinking that she was on a higher rank than I was. But Josh, the person who was one office away from mine. He said, " That its weird when I spent time with low ranked person like Bethany. Because it'll make a bad impression. I got shocked knowing she was low rank then me I usually just use to avoid her and hardly use to listen to what she use to say as my head would be stuck in mostly in its on little world with the same question. What would the girl that I was following. Would be doing it right now. Then, I realized that I didn't need to respect Bethany as a boss. It gave me relief. Now I finally have the power to say that I would like to have some alone time. In the coffee shop. That same day, when she asked me to accompany her. I ordered her to focus on work and not to disturb me. I went to the coffee shop. When I was having my cup of tea. I saw the girl again. I got confused and shy, and I didn't know why, but her presence was just making me shy. She entered the coffee shop, and I started looking down and then up again in confusion. When I looked up for a moment, I saw her approaching towards me. I got red and didn't know what to say at that time. But before I could look at her again. Bethany came and stood in front of me and tried to divert my attention to her.. I told her why did you leave work. She started acting like her and I are really good friends. Yet I was trying to get another glimpse of that girl. The moment Bethany moved away and sat down in front of me. I saw that girl leaving the shop. It made me angry. I told Bethany that lunchtime is my private time. It's a time I used to relax. I don't want her to come here to disturb me at this time. I stood up and left my cup of tea there and went back to my office. After that, two weeks passed, and I couldn't even get a small glimpse of that girl. My heart felt hurt like it was missing a part of it. I stood in my office looking out the window. When Bethany came again. This time, she just came in and approached me. I got angry and I told her I don't like company so I want her to leave me alone. I don't want any relationship with her, and I said that all just while I was looking outside the window without even looking at her. When I heard the door closed loudly and I thought she had left and then again when I was about to turn back the door was opened and I thought it was Bethany again. I didn't even turn around. When I said," Bethany, I am not interested in dating you. Then I heard a gentle voice saying, "Excuse me." I was ordered by the boss to give you this file. I turned around, and I started blushing hard. My cheeks turned red. I wasn't even able to make proper eye contact. There she was, the girl I wanted a glimpse of was standing right in front of me. I looked left and right in nervousness, and even she was looking down. I just said, "Yes, and thank you. Then I said, "You can put the file on the desk. I heard a voice in my head say. Dudeeee asked her her name, and yet I was too shy. When we both turned our backs towards each other. She started walking towards the door. I wanted to ask her name and didn't want her to leave without telling me her name. I turned back around, but before I could ask. She asked me, "What's my name?" I smirked and said, "Jackson."
