Arrogance and Desire

Unexpected offer

It was a sunny day, and most people were out, finding a better source of income and how to survive.

Mr. Mark jerked off forcefully, as though he was being chased by someone in his dream, sweating profusely and looking horribly scared. He stood up, walked towards his window, staring at his reflection and seeing how far he had gone with his life without the help of any external body.

He went into the bathroom; within some minutes, he was done bathing. He went to his wardrobe, staring lustfully at his clothes' collection, trying to figure out what to wear. After so much deliberation, he settled for a white T-shirt and navy blue trousers, took a Cartier wristwatch from his collection, and made his way to his perfume drawer. He wants his workers to feel his presence just from his perfume. Everything about him has to be classic and expensive.

“His quote mostly”

“Since my parents couldn't give me the lifestyle I wanted, I got it for myself.

He took his briefcase downstairs and met his housekeeper, who had prepared breakfast for him.

“Sir, your breakfast is ready,” she said.

“I don't think I want to eat anything yet," he said with a smirk.

Immediately, he went into his car and drove off. Halfway through his journey, he ran into a road worker who was busy doing her duty diligently. She slumped instantly, bleeding from her nose and a bruise on her head.

“OMG! "What have I done," he said, running out of his car almost immediately. He went toward the woman and felt her breathing through her nostrils. Luckily she was still breathing, he sighed softly.

He carried her to his car and made his way to the hospital; she was placed on a stretcher and rolled into the emergency department.

He was totally deviated; after a few minutes, a nurse came out with a folder.

Are you her relatives? She asked.

"No, I mistakenly bumped into her on my way to work this morning," he said anxiously.

“Calm down, she is doing fine; she has just had a few bruises and is still in shock. She would be fine by the end of the day, she reassured him. Since you brought her here, you just have to go over to the counter and pay for medication.

He went to the counter, paid her bills, and kept some money that should be given to her when she is fully fine.

After some hours, he left for work, still shocked by how the event took place without his slightest idea.

He got to his workplace and walked in through the door looking upset, frustrated with some much in his heart to be poured out.

“Sir, you have some documents to review this morning," she said.

“Would you get out of my side, do I look like I'm in for all this bull shit.he said angrily, walking into his office. He was furious. His eye muscles lost their elasticity, moving in a circular direction.

“Ring ring !

His phone rang, he stretched his hand towards his desk and grabbed his phone sluggishly.

“Hello" the voice from the other end echoes.

“Yes, how can I be of help? He said

“I'm a staff member from the hospital, calling to let you know she is doing well and has left for her place. She sent her regards and heartfelt thanks to her. She said

“Oh alright, thank you for the information. He said, feeling a bit relieved.

He picked up the cell phone positioned on the left side of his desk and dialed his secretary, asking if Clara had reported to the office. She arrived a few minutes ago, sir.

Asked her to come in already as he dropped the cell phone on his desk.

Within a few seconds,

Bang….bang

Clara turned down the doorknob and went in and as she got to his table she greeted him.

How are you doing, young lady? He asked, smiling.

"I'm doing great sir , she replied, staring at his office and how well-built it looks.

"C'mon take a sit and make yourself comfortable," he said, glaring at her.

“Thanks," she replied.

You are Miss. Bold right. Well, I have an offer for you. You'll work with me as my personal assistant for 6 months with a handsomely paid salary.

“Sir’ I thought you wanted to call off my scholarship, so why are you giving me a job offer? She asked, looking surprised by the whole event taking place.

“That is what everyone would think, but I don't want them to detect my next line of action, since you claimed I got my money from soiling my hand with evil. Why don't you work with the Devil himself and get to know more about his source? At least you can then have a lot to say about me .

“What do you think”, he asked.

Well, I will look into it and give you my response when I'm ready. She said bluntly.

Alright, wise decision then. Take all the time in the world and get yourself to work with me.

…….

I excused myself as I walked through the door and stared at the magnificent building and decoration he had in his company and how everything looked. Immediately, I started picturing myself working in such a beautiful, well-arranged environment, with so much work going about their various assignments. "It's indeed amazing, I must say, to have put up a company like this," I said to myself.

Got to my lodge…

“Ella, you won't believe what he said to me.

“What else would he say, rather than your scholarship has been terminated, and you now have to leave the school? She said coldly, with so much pain in her voice. Her eyes looked pale, her face flushed and unspoken heat dripping from her body.

I think she has been crying on my behalf, and just then I felt the love she has for me and that got me emotional.

Well, that wasn't his reply. He asked me to work with him as his personal assistant for 6 months with a handsomely paid salary.

“What!

“Unbelievable. Just tell me you are joking because that can't be true of such a man. She said, looking more confused .

No I'm not. He offered me a job. I think I'm going for it already. At least I would be closer and get to see things for myself instead of hearing them from outside.

“Ella was shocked. "What was his intention, because he wouldn't just give that to you, maybe he had a hidden agenda on his list, or maybe you are the best person to fetch him millions in one of his secret cults?" she said, exhaling in and out, as though she were running for a long meter race.

Well, I can't know his intention. If I rejected his offer. That means I will go for it, get his intention and make it known by all the media. By then, I would become a hero. I laughed.

“It's your choice, but don't say I didn't warn you against this thing you are trying to do”, she replied, leaving my room for hers.

…..

I couldn't wait for dismissal because I wanted to go to the company where I was asked to work as a personal assistant. I was excited about the unknown and my joy knew no bounds as I walked majestically into one of the best company in town.

On arrival, I met him on his way out. "Oh young lady, are you here to see me?" he asked.

Yes sir, I'm here to give in to your offer. I said with a smirk

Alright, welcome to the organization. As you can see, I'm going out. Maybe next week you resume and get to be introduced.

To the staff members.

"Alright sir, have a nice weekend," I said, and left immediately.
