The Alpha Twin

The sound of my doorbell ringing was like clockwork everyday and as I opened it, there were always a g**g of flowers, chocolates, diamond earrings, or tickets to see the oprea sitting on my doorstep. I already knew who it was from and as usual I would leave them on my doorstep for the flowers to wilt, the chocolates to go bad, and the tickets to get stolen by one of the neighbors who just happened to be passing by. Its been two months since my heart gotten broken and each day or every other day I would hear the doorbell ringing as I sat in my kitchen sipping on my earl grey tea, and scrolling through my phone looking for a new job. As I opened the door a bunch of beautiful purple orchids with a ticket to see the latest opera show stcking up in the pot would be sitting right there and a note that always read, "I would love to take you out sometime, please don't let this opportunity pass." Secret Admirer. I already knew who the secret admirer was and I sure as hell wasn't going to see him anytime soon. After a few weeks of trying to woo me like I was a dizzy schoolgirl, I got a call from an unknown number. My heart was too broken to talk to anyone I didn't want to hear his voice, I didn't want to see his face, and I damn sure didn't want him to come over and touch me in places that I knew would drive me wild. He was engaged now and I knew that he would never pick me over the woman he was going to marry. I looked at the screen for a few more seconds until the ringing stopped and I kept scrolling on my phone looking at job ads to see who was hiring, u til I stopped at an ad that caught my eye. It was a ad for a photographer at a studio I heard of quite a lot. Starlette Studios: Wanted immediately! Must have 4 years of photography experience and a high tech camera, must be flexible, and willing to travel. 1500 per session. I beamed at the ad wanting to know more as I clicked on the link below and started to put in my resume. I knew it was a stretch because I only had 3 years of experience under my belt thanks to working at wedding venues before I became a nanny, also my camera wasn’t the latest high tech camera because I had it for 5 years already. Nonetheless I placed my resume in along with some of the work I had done over the years, and sent it to the company. I didn’t think about it for the rest of the day until later that evening when I got a notification from one of the executives in the company. Hello Adola, we have checked your resume along with your work and though it was impressive! We would like to invite you in for an interview, if you are interested please contact us and let us know so we can set up a time to meet. I was ecstatic as I hurried up and typed as fast as my fingers could go. I told them that I would love to come in for an interview and I will be available anytime this week. And minutes later they asked if I can come in for and interview tomorrow. I said yes as I jumped up and down for the new opportunity that was given to me. The next day I got up extra early, ate breakfast put on my best clothes which was a tailored blazer a ruffled blouse and a pair of jeans with black ankle boots. I put on a pair of small gold hoops and grabbed my portfolio and headed out the door. On my way there I got a text from Hakeem asking me what I was doing today but I deleted it as I frowned and stepped on the bus to get to my destination. It too two busses to get to the place but when I finally made it I was amazed at how luxurious and huge the place looked. It was adorned with expensive abstract statues, high tech computers and the floors were so shiny I could see my reflection on them. I went up to the receptionist and as I handed her my ID she smiled and told gave it back. Hi we were expecting you, please have a seat and grab some refreshments, I will get the boss now. I sat down in one of the chairs as I flipped through one of their magazines anxious to get the job I hopped for. As I was reading one of the articles I seen a picture that shocked me and I sat straighter in my chair reading the caption at the bottom I saw a familiar name that I couldn’t believe. “Wait so he’s the CEO of this company?” I said under my breath as I shook my head like I was seeing things. “Yes I am actually.” Said a smooth and sexy voice as I looked up with my mouth open in shock. “Actually we have headquarters all over, even one in Paris, Tokyo, and London.” I was taken aback from seeing him for the first time in months, but I should’ve know it was him, of course it was why would they respond so quickly. I got up nervously to shake his hand, my head spin around dizzily. “Welcome to Starlette Studios, you ready for your interview?”
