Disobedient Lovers

Chapter four

When you go into the kitchen, your mom is sitting at the table talking with Liam, something about bills and what not, you drown them out and find something to eat before sitting at the table with them.

“Cosima, let me help you with these bills, you don’t need to take another mortgage out on your house” he looks at your mom concerned, you never really knew your real father, he left before you were born.

You appreciate all that Liam has done for you and your mom but when they got married a couple years ago, he got disappointed when you wouldn’t take his last name or call him dad.

Your mom looks at him annoyed and tells him that she doesn’t need help and she’ll figure it out. You get done eating and go back to your room, trying to keep your mind off of last night, you start looking for a part time job to earn some money.

There’s a couple of places that caught your eye, but none of them seemed to fit your interests, then you see a job looking for a secretary for some big company, you apply thinking there’s no way you’ll be able to get the job.

When you go back to school, you see Anna in the hallway on your way to history. She stops to try and talk to you but you walk past her not stopping for even a second.

When you get to class, the teacher starts talking about the monarchy and you drift into your own thoughts.

After what felt like a couple minutes of daydreaming, you get pulled back to reality to your phone lighting up to see a email from the secretary job you applied for.

- Dear Ms. Smith,

It has been brought to my attention that you have applied for our secretary position, we would like for you to come in for an interview at exactly 4 pm this afternoon. Please do not be late, no exceptions.

Sincerely, Jack (CEO of LED interprizes)

You immediately start to smile and hurriedly leave class to catch a taxi to the city, when you get there, the building is huge, it looks like it could go on forever, you check the time 3:30 pm, great, your early.

You go inside and everything is white, the floors, ceiling, walls, even the furniture is white. There is a lady at a desk in the corner, you walk up to her, she’s pretty and young, with long blonde hair, she doesn’t look up as she asks if she can help you with anything.

You tell her your there for an interview and she points you into the direction of the elevators and tells you to go to the 20th floor.
