Maya POV
I came back in the apartment, but the offer of Mrs. Rose fogged my mind. I straightly went in the kitchen and made a coffee for myself. Then, the door of Amber’s room opened, while she rubbed her eyes and sat on the chair. She kept her head on the table and in sleepy tone said, “Please, made coffee for me”.
I made coffee for her and kept her coffee cup near her. She took it and, feeling relaxed, asked me, “So, how was the returning thing gone”. I tilted my head and looking to her, “It was good. Mrs. Rose Reynold was a gracious lady, and they thanked me for returning the purse too”. She amused by my statements and said, “I thought she would mean and ego-centric”. I twisted my lips in disappointment and replied to her, “No, she was very kind, but she left me in the great confusion”.
Amber narrowed her eyes and hold my hand. “What happened?” I looked at her and frowned. “She offered me a job as her personal assistant. I refused her instantly but still she insisted me to think about this job.”
Amber eyes grew wide as the sip of coffee she took choked her, and she started coughing. I move forward and gave her water. She blankly stared at me and then replied, “Are you kidding me”? I replied at her washing the coffee mug, “No, I am dead serious”. She clapped her hand and jumped on her seat. I amused by her behavior and smile at her excitement. Then, she c****d her head and excitingly, “So, you accept the job, Right?”
I narrowed my eyes and replied to her, “I rejected it firstly but Mrs. Rose asked me to rethink about it”. I went back to sit and started writing the savings in my diary. She said with a sympathy look and said, “If you want then I could give you some money”.
“No, I will do it myself and thanks for your help till now,” said to her while giving a smile. She frowned and said with sympathy, “But this year you cannot take admission in the college, in this many savings.”
I shrugged and replied to her, “I will do it by my savings, if not this year then next year.”
She twisted her lips in disappointment and said, “You are getting an opportunity and still rejecting it. Please take a chance and do this job. Maybe this job helps you to erase your past too.”, I looked at her and replied to her, “I am confused and scared”.
She kept her hand on me and caress my hand smoothly. She sighed heavily and said, “Please accept this job and take a chance for your happiness. Let the past to be buried and nothing will happen. Maya.” I murmured to her, “I will try it as you say.”
Amber clasped me into a hug, and said with relief, “thank you so much”.
“But if they knew about my past. Then, they would not accept me and much more trouble is possible to come,” asked softly to her. She wrinkled her nose and said to me, “First, no one from India is coming to tell your past. Second, give a shot and live in a present and forget about the past for sometime.”
I nodded my head and agreed with her. Then, we watch the Bollywood movie, and ate the pop corns, then she also gave me a head massage.
The Next day I stood outside the building of Reynold Company. I came here to meet Mrs. Reynold and agree to become her personal assistant. But this beginning I will do for my dream and would be helpful to forget my past. If I pluck up the courage to do this, I should attempt to be brave enough to do it. I stood up in front of the reception table and saw the lady sitting there. She was around my age and wearing a light peach formal dress. I bent towards her chair and asked her, “Excuse me mam, I came here to meet Mrs. Rose”. She raised her eyebrows and asked me, “Do you have any appointment with her”. I fidgeted with my fingers and replied to her question. “No, I don’t have any appointment. But she asked me to become her personal assistant. Kindly ask her if that offer is valid for me or not”. She narrowed her eyes and after a while nodded her head.
She called Mrs. Rose and confirm my statement. Then, she asked to take the lift and to go on the 18th floor, as Mrs. Rose is waiting for me in her cabin. I took the lift, and the employees crowded it. I reached on the 18th floor and got nervous and looked at the glass of the cabin to myself that whetherk I am ready. Furthermore, I knocked on the door, but no reply got, then I went inside the cabin and saw the desk scattered with the papers and files, but no one was there. Likewise, I looked around and moved to the desk and arranged the papers and files properly. Suddenly, the door opened and Mrs. Rose came with a blonde girl. She had the flawless makeup and white formal coat and pant. She smiled at me, and her gaze stopped at the desk. Her smile grew wider and stood beside me. The blonde girl was the other employer of the company, and she also gave a smile at me. She said in a pleasing tone, “I knew you would arrange everything properly and sorry for being late”.
I gave her a smile and nodded my head. She took her seat and asked, “I hope you have decided to work for me as a Personal assistant”. Then, I took the seat in front of her and replied to her, “Yes, madam I am ready to do this job but could you please explain me everything again”. The blonde girl named Sara explained me everything and Mrs. Rose left for the meeting. She asked me to join her from tomorrow. She would pay me thirty thousand dollars for this job. This money would fulfill all mine necessities and help me get admission in the college. I came out of the cabin and reading the contract papers. Abruptly, I bumped into a hard body and stumbled a few steps as I couldn’t keep my balance and fall on the ground with a large thud sound and all the papers scattered over the floor. As I rubbed my head and raised my head to look the person. He was the Zack Reynold standing like a wall. He shrugged as if like nothing has happened.
I glared at him and then recollect all the papers.
He said in a grumpy tone, clear my way fast”.
My blood boils with anger told him with gritting teeth, “If you helped me, then this mess way could be clear faster and this chaos created by you, so bent down and help me collect the papers”.
He raised his eyebrows and wanted to say something, but he shut his mouth again. Then, he did not care intentionally, stepped on paper and moved ahead to his cabin. I scoffed at his rude behavior and collected the papers fast. Then, I came out of the Reynolds building and took the cab to go back home.
