The Billionaire's Secretary

Nora POV It's my sixth time applying for a job at Davies Hotels and Events but all my effort have been fruitless. Only if I had connection any where in the company things would have been different but I know nobody not even the security men. Tomorrow is another day for an interview at the company. I applied for the position of an event coordinator. I graduated with a first class honours in Events management in the university so no doubt I will perform brilliantly as one of their events coordinator. I loved going to events especially weddings! Lolz, I never had a dream of becoming a Doctor or a lawyer, all I wanted is to attend more Events. I want to become a star in the event industry which I know Davies Hotels and Events is the right place to build a career. They handle all presidential events and all official events in the country. I really hope my dream of securing a job at Davies come true this year. "Welcome Dad" I greeted my Dad as he walked in with my junior sister. "Hi Nora, How are you doing?" He replied "Am fine, where is Mum? is she not coming home again tonight?" I asked "Yes Sis, She said her boss ask her to work extra Hours" My sister replied. "Alright, I will be in my room. I have an interview to prepare for" I said and stood up. "Daughter, don't you think you have to try elsewhere? I can speak to my friend to help you secure a place at H&D hospital as one of their Cleaner. you can do that for while till then leave after u find another place to work instead of wasting your forever on what is not certain" My Dad said with his hands on my shoulder "Really? Dad, Really?? A Cleaner?" I really don't want to be rude so I walked away. "Go get it Sister! I believe in you" My rude sister shouted on top of her voice. I bang the door after I entered the room and lay on my bed. I knew my Father didn't mean any harm but a cleaner? I won't give up on myself. Never! I slept without any preparation for the interview. I woke up to the sound of my alarm and I realized it's morning already. It's 7am and my interview is 8am so i have enough time to dress up and take a cab to the company. I went to the bathroom to clean up. There after I searched for one of my nice shirt. " I should have done this yesterday" I said to myself I took a sky blue shirt and For my suit, I have just one so I don't have a choice. my shoe is new so I have so my much confidence wearing it. I dressed up and head out. "Good morning Dad" I greeted my father immediately I saw him. "Am sorry for yesterday" I added "That's no problem, I wish you the very best in your interview. Everyone will be here waiting for the good news" he replied with a smile. "won't you eat before leaving? he added. "No, I will eat when am back. I will be late if I stay back a minute. Goodbye Dad" I said and went out of the House. I checked my wrist watch and walked as fast as possible because I only had 40 minutes more to my interview. I wouldn't want to risks been late. I saw a cab coming and I waved at it. The cab stopped and I went in. I provided the address and paid immediately because I don't want anything to delay me. The cab took off and after some minutes I noticed a traffic ahead. "F*ck! not today!" I shouted I checked the time. I have just 30 minutes more. I waited to see how things moves. 10 minutes gone, no movement. I realized how foolish I will be if I keep sitting without doing anything. I opened the door of the cab and jumped out, I ran as fast as my leg could take me. I can't even tell how far or close the company is. I kept running. I am number four on the interview list. I kept checking the time as I run. F*ck I have just 15 minutes more. As I run my eye saw the company advert. I smiled, I knew I was closer. I increased my speed. 10 minutes more. I finally got to the company. i entered the building and went straight to the receptionist. "Good morning, what's floor will the interview take place? I asked "Second floor" She replied with a smile. I left to the second floor without saying Thank You to the receptionist. I stepped into the elevator and pressed the button to the second floor. A Man came in shortly. From his dressing and smell, He must be very rich and classic. I can't help but to stare at his back view forgetting the worries of the interview. At a moment I realized something strange about him. Before I knew it he fell to the ground. "Hello, Hello" I tried calling him but from his condition I saw, he is esmatic. I wonder why he wasn't with his inaler. Lucky for her I have an extra. I gave it to him, he used it and he's coming back to normal. The elevator opened and I ran out. Lucky for me, I was able to be on my seat exactly 8:00am looking tense. The interview begs and the first two were called in. it took them about 20 minutes before they came out but the looks on their faces shows that things went bad with them. My heart beat increased, Tension everywhere. "Number 3 and 4" A lady came for the interview room and us in. myself and the other guy with in after the lady. I saw 3 men sitting before us. myself and the other Guy bowed in respect. One of the men seated asked us to seat. The interview began and questions were thrown at me. I was able to open my mouth to say something at least even though I knew those answers were wrong. After so much questions the interview ended. I stood up knowing that I have failed again. I went out faking a smile and happy ending. I left the second floor and sat down at the company restaurant smiling at the workers beautiful faces. I just don't want to make it obvious that I failed but couldn't help but to think about it. Am 26 years old, I have start to receive insult from different angles because of my joblessness and it's not like there is no job. I insist that's it's Davies Hotels and Events or no where. But telling my family that I failed again? No, I have to look for a job first! I don't care where at the moment. I took my phone to call Linda to talk to him about it but she said she is not in town and she insist that I wait for her before I make any decision so went home to wait for her. My family were not at home. So I went straight to my room and wait for Linda's call.. I should have eaten when my Dad asked me to eat earlier. I laid on my bed thinking about what will be response to all my Sister's questions. my phone rang in the process and I checked the caller. it's was my Dad. I dropped the phone and let it ring over and over again. I woke up to check the time. "Wow it's 8pm" so I slept for 5 hrs? I didn't even know when I fell asleep My father should be back and waiting for me to come out and give them update on my interview. I checked my phone and I saw so many missed call from my Dad. Suddenly I saw a message alert. I opened it "Congratulations Dear Nora Peters your interview at Davies Hotels and Events was Successful, you are to resume work by 8am tomorrow morning" "Ahhhhhh Ahhhhhh Ahhhhhh" I shouted my family ran inside to see what's wrong with me. "Nora, what happened to you?" my mother asked looking worried. "My interview didn't go well, in fact it was the worst of my interview in the last six years. But to my surprise I woke up to see a message now that I should resume work tomorrow" I replied looking confused "Nora, are you sure the message is for you? Because you just said the interview didn't go well. how come you received the job" my rude sister said to me with a stick of sweet in her mouth. "Will you keep quiet!" my father replied her. "This is a good news Nora am proud of you" my father added "Thanks for not giving up Daughter" my mother smiled at me The smile on my parents face brought tears to my eye and I cried bitterly. "Look here Daughter, I know it's late but I know a*****e that will be opened at this hour. I just received my salary. let's go and get a suit of your choice" My father said and we left the house. We bought a nice suit and came back home to celebrate. we eat the family favourite food and everyone went to sleep. I couldn't Sleep as I stare at my new suit and imagine my looks tomorrow morning. I took my phone and send a message to Linda telling her about my Job at Company. I dropped my phone and slept off.
