Coffee Shop Letter

Chapter 8

Mystery Mans P.O.V

I was glad when the interviews were over. There were three candidates they were going to choose from, and one of those was Ava. All the other interviewees weren't very promising, and a few weren't even there to get a job. They were more likely there for me, and that was disturbing. 

At my company, we give people without experience a chance as long as you can pass the interview. That's why I'm positive Ava has a chance to get the position. It'll be a big distraction to see her sitting outside my office every day of the week, and I still can see her on the weekends at the coffee shop. I probably resemble a love-sick puppy when I don't get to see her. There's something about her that draws me to her, and I'm sure it's her lively personality.  I like seeing her every day, but then I remember I still have a girlfriend that I didn't want in the first place. 

 HR board should know who they are hiring by the end of Thursday, and I'll know first thing Friday who they call.

I decided to have my lunch at Deb's, even knowing she wouldn't be there, but more or less seeing if she got my letter.  Arriving at the shop, I glanced at the spot we exchange our letters and surprisingly enough she responded.  Waiting to open it after I ordered my food, I didn't waste any time. I wasn't expecting her forgiveness anytime soon, but her reply was a start, I guess.  (refer to the last chapter for letter)

Mind games, she thought I was playing mind games with her. Well, I can't blame her because it did seem as if I was, but that wasn't my intention. We can agree on one thing I was an asshole to her. She didn't deserve the letter i wrote to her that day. Even though she didn't forgive me just yet I still smiled at the fact she replied and told me how she felt, I was positive there was more to it.

Finishing up my lunch, I headed back to work, which kept me busy the rest of the day.

Ava’s P.O.V

This week was flying by pretty fast, and I still haven't heard back from Black Inc.  I was starting to think that maybe I didn't get the job and it just wasn't meant to be. I'll just need to continue my job search elsewhere or find a second small job like the coffee shop. 

When it was time to clock out, Mr. Black was standing by the register. 

"Miss Parker"

"Hi Mr. Black, how may I help you?"

"I just wanted to congratulate you in person on getting the job. HR will send you an email on everything you need to know, and you will start on Monday morning, I will see you then Miss Parker."

Oh my god, I can't believe it, I got the job. Without thinking, I hugged him. I hugged Xavier Black. His posture stiffened a little, and that's when I let go of him realizing my mistake. Quickly apologizing to him, I checked if there was a letter, in which there was. I then proceeded to leave the coffee shop with the biggest smile on my face.

Now I was going to need to go shopping for proper attire to wear for Monday sometime this weekend. 

When I arrived home, I opened up the letter and read it.

Silver Haired Beauty,

Word around the office is that you are the new secretary to the big boss. I wish you all the luck with your journey at Black Inc I assure you that you'll like it here. I'm excited to see you around the office now. Wow, I really do sound like a creep. Okay, scratch what I just said, it sounds horrible.

I guess I'll leave it at that before I dig myself further into a hole with you.

Yours Truly,

Prince Charming

This letter not only made me smile, but it made me laugh. I was laughing so hard there were tears in my eyes. I mean at least he knows he sounds like a creep. I'm flattered by all he's been doing, sending me these letters and the flowers and the birthday gifts. Then again I don't know who he is which should raise a red flag to me, plus he's an asshole who seems to play with girl's feelings. Deciding not to respond to this letter, I went on with the rest of the day relaxing while watching T.V. and eating a bunch of food. After so long, I called it a night and headed to bed. 

------------

Today was Sunday, and I needed to go to the mall for work clothes. My goal was to get five pantsuits to start with and then when I get my first check get me five more. I would love to get more today, but my bank account will only allow me so much. This was going to be my last day off for a while. I already talked to Deb about only working weekends and then Monday through Friday at the office. So today had to be productive, I needed to buy clothes, and groceries as well as read back through the email I was sent about tomorrow. 

I'm hoping working for Mr. Black is easy and that he's not some arrogant asshole that's rude to his employees. I've heard people say he's nice and easy to work with, but those are his employees they kind of obligated to say good things about him.I would not want to be on the receiving end if I was caught talking bad about my boss. I'm sure whoever has been caught talking bad was fired right away.

To say I wasn't nervous was an understatement, but at the same time, I was excited about this new chapter in my life to start. This would be a big change from what I was used to from my day to day life. I wouldn't get to see Matty as much except for when we have dinner together.  

 By the time I was done with my errands, it was already 5 o'clock. I was ready to sit down and relax and look over my email Black Inc sent me. After putting everything away where it’s supposed to go and then changing my clothes to something comfy, I grabbed my laptop and went under my emails. It was the first email in my inbox.

The email informed me that I was to arrive at 8 o'clock and no later, I would get an hour break either at noon or at 1 o'clock depending on how busy I was. The email also stated where I needed to head to, to get my ID badge to get in the building, as well as I would be trained by Mr. Black's assistant on how I am to do everything. What the email stated seemed pretty simple, but tomorrow will be the true test if whether or not I can handle the job.
