INTRODUCTION
[Her POV] Hi! My name is Delianna Lopez but you can call me Lia for short. 24 years old and I am now looking for a nice job to enter because I am sick of living like a princess, so I decided to live independently. I am currently standing in front of a tall and huge building owned by a BILLIONAIRE which is a good sign that I should apply here. My hands and knees are now trembling because of nervousness. Just the thought of me having a personal interview with the CEO wanting me to go back to my Father’s mansion. “May God give me confidence and I hope that I will get lucky today.” My hands were shaking as I stepped inside the building. By the way, I’m absolutely good at Finance and Marketing…but I’m better in spending money uwu. “Miss Lopez?” I suddenly panicked when a woman with a bangs called me. “Yeah? I’m here.” I raised my hand to let her know that I’m here. I gulped. She looks so intimating. She’s wearing an eyeglass, a loose blouse paired (actually not) with a black pencil skirt. I held back my laugh, I don’t want to sound bad but…she looks like my Mother’s Grandma. “You’re next.” I cleared my throat as I followed her. I feel like my heart is in a marathon because of the fast throbbing. You got this, Lia! “Miss Lopez, the CEO is now waiting for you inside.” I gave her a slight bow without looking at her face, cause if I did. I might not control myself and tell hear how bad her fashion style can be. When I entered the CEO’s office, I immediately saw a man seating in a swivel chair and his back was facing me. “Good morning, Sir. Delianna Lopez is my name. I came from Elite International University and if you’re going to ask me why you should hire me—” “E.I.U?” My eyebrow instantly raised when he cut me off. How disrespectful. He even asked without facing me. But his voice sounds charming and bossy. I forgot to add that it sounded hot. I shook my head to erase the creepy thought inside my head. “Yes, Sir.” “Delianna Lopez, Am I right?” Did he even listened to what I said? I regret introducing myself if he’ll just ask me again with the same answer I said a while ago. “Yes, Sir.” “Anna.” I became attentive to what he just called me. He still not facing me and I couldn’t see his face. “Excuse me?!” I lose control over my voice and it suddenly rose. I hate it when somebody calls me with that name and there is only one particular person who calls me by that name. I covered my mouth and my eyes widened when I realized something. Don’t tell me that he’s— My eyes landed on the nameplate placed on the top of his desk…..and I was right. “Good morning. You’re hired, Miss Lopez or should I say…Anna?” I was frozen when he slowly turned around. I feel like I fell into a deep sh*t when I recognized who will my boss be. Chain Tragedy Ayala. The guy who became my high school playtoy and my used to be classmate will be my boss?! Oh sh*t. I think it is wrong not to check the CEO of the company before applying. [FLASHBACK] “Hey, nerd!” I hurriedly walked towards Chain with my eyebrows meeting. He looked at me when he heard my voice. “A-anna?” His voice was trembling in fear. “What’s this? I thought you’re smart but why the hell you checked my paper wrongly?!” I shouted as I threw my answer sheet to his face. “I-I’m really sorry. I didn’t noticed it.” He explained his side. I pretended like I’m having a migraine because of his stupidity. I massage my both temples. “You think, I freakin’ care about your explanation? You have already done your mistake!” He looked down when I shouted. Good thing it is only the two of us inside the classroom. “I-I will do better next time.” “There’s no next time for you, Chain. I will exchange seats with Faith.” I said before I turned around. . “Chain Tragedy freakin’ Ayala. Get out of my way, you filthy nerd!” I shouted in his face when he’s blocking my way. “S-sorry.” He calmly apologized but I ignored it and pushed him to let him out of my way. [END OF FLASHBACK] I firmly closed my eyes as my mind keep flashing back the SOME mean things I did to him back in our high school days. “Miss Lopez?” I came back to my senses when SIR called my name. “Ahh…Y-yes, Sir?” “Did you heard what I’ve just said?” He asked me with a f*ckin’ serious look on his face and his forehead was creasing. This is so not him. I checked the nameplate couple of times and it’s the same thing I keep on seeing. CHAIN TRAGEDY AYALA Chief Executive Officer I never imagine that Chain will come this far. No more thick glasses, his face and attitude became matured. A perfect and chiseled jawline. I could also detect a couple of biceps inside his suit. “P-pardon me?” I asked after I scanned him from head to toe. “Tsk, stupid.” I became audient when I heard what he whispered. My forehead creased. It’s the first time that someone called me stupid. “I said, you’re hired, Miss Lopez!” He exclaimed and gave me a disappointed stare. I really can’t believe what he said… I mean, that’s all? To sum it all up, it should be hard for someone like me to get hired in a big famous company…. Unless he’s planning something. “Dannah, please tell the rest to go home. I already hired a new secretary.” I heard him said while pressing the intercom. “Yes, Sir.” Dannah answered. It must be Dannah who have a bangs and wears a loose blouse. “So, Sir…when do I start?” I asked him. “Now!” My face went forward. Did he just say now? “W-what? Now?” “Don’t make me repeat it again, Miss Lopez…” “…Now, bring me a cup of coffee, the strong one. There’s a coffee maker in the mini kitchen. Pass this to the HR Department Head and after that, please review the monthly income report. That’s all, Miss Lopez. You may start now.” That’s all? Is he kidding me? Oh f**k. If I really don’t need the money, I could have threw him to the window.
