The CEO Hates Me!

The noise of the phone vibrating was particularly echoing the quiet room. I glanced at the phone and picked it up from the bedside table. "Karen! Don't tell me you are still napping by this time of the day. Have you forgotten you have an interview?"Ana yelled from the other side of the phone and disconnected the call. "Oh f**k!" It's already 8:15 am and my interview with THE SCOTT GROUP OF COMPANIES was stated to commence by 9:00 am today. I scurried into the bathroom to take my bath and was done within a few minutes. I stared at myself in the mirror, I was putting on a white shirt and black pencil skirt with a black pair of shoes that is about three inches high. "Karen, you are looking smart and gorgeous" I smiled at myself. I'm not a fan of makeup but I still managed to apply lipstick and mascara. "Now, I'm looking like a Personal Assistant to the CEO" I can't wait to start working and stop requesting things from Ana. I smiled and checked the wall clock for the last night before going for the interview. OMG! It's already 8:55 am, I shouted and dashed out of the house. Fortunately, I was able to get a taxi immediately after I got outside. I hopped in without wasting time but it seemed the driver was driving too slowly. "Mister! Can you drive faster than this, please? I need this job urgently and I'm already late for the interview, I told the taxi driver, who was driving like a snail. "Miss, if you have an interview as you said, you are supposed to leave your home early. Don't rush me please, I can't drive more than this" he replied rudely. "Jeez! If not for the fact that I'm already late for the interview, I would have thought of a way to deal with this old man" I scoffed "Are you talking to me, miss?" He asked but a glance from me shut him up. I kept checking my wristwatch but it seemed the time was running away from me. After what seemed like forever, the man parked in front of one building. "We are here, Miss" he informed me calmly. I gave him his money and rushed out of the taxi. The building was so huge and the designs were beautiful. I've been watching the photos on the internet but haven't seen it physically. I'll come back and admire this later, I'm late already. I rushed into the company and met a lady at a side, sitting on a chair and operating on a computer when I got there. She seems like a receptionist. "Good morning, I'm Karen and I'm here for the interview" I greeted, giving her one of my best smiles. " A minute please," she said, checking something on her computer. Probably she wanted to confirm if I was there for the interview or not. "Karen Woods?" She called "Yeap" I replied. "The interview has started already and it's taking place on the tenth floor," she told me. "Thank you," I said and I dashed out of her sight. I pressed the button that indicated the tenth floor as I entered the elevator. The elevator peeped and opened immediately after we got to the tenth floor. I dashed out of the elevator and noticed people were murmuring and some were hissing as they were leaving the conference room, which I assumed was where the interview was taking place but I didn't care. I opened the door immediately and I saw a cute young man standing up. "Wow, is he an angel or a human being? I'm sure a human can't be as cute as this, I thought. His gray eyes match the color of his skin and his pink lips perfect everything. "Karen, is something wrong with you? He isn't as cute as Damien" My inner mind corrected me urgently. "Who are you?" The cute guy asked angrily. Wait, did he wake up from the wrong side of the bed today? Why is he looking angry? Anyways, I'm less concerned about that. "My name is Karen Woods and I'm here for the interview" I responded like a professional secretary He hurriedly looked up and scanned my whole body with his eyes, sending goosebumps down my body. "Don't tell me he is a pervert, why is he looking at me that way? Is something wrong with my dress? Oh no! He shouldn't be a pervert. He is way cuter than to be a pervert" I assumed He walked majestically to my side, pocketing his hand, and smirking at the same time. I wanted to tremble but somehow managed to compose myself. "What is it?" I fired at him annoyingly. "The interview was scheduled to be held by nine and you have the guts to enter my office by ten, is that what you plan to be doing when you become the CEO's assistant?" He asked in a whispering tone. His voice sent chills down my body which was unusual for me. "Can you step back a bit? You are making me feel uncomfortable" I requested and was expecting him to respect himself. "Well, let's see what you have to offer this company. You have passed the first test and I think we should proceed" He smirked before backing off "First test? Gosh! Don't tell me seducing me was my first test? Is that why others were wailing because they couldn't resist his charm? What the f**k!" I screamed inwardly "I've lots of things to offer this company. I'm competent and I'm sure the CEO would not regret having me as his assistant because I can practically do anything for him" I answered with confidence. "Oh? Practically anything?" He questioned to be sure of what he heard. "Yeah, anything" I nodded to assure him "What about this?" He moved closer to me, with smirks escaping from his lips. Suddenly, he grabbed my butt which widened my eyes in shock. "What the heck!" I yelled, pushing him away which made him land on his butt. " I knew it! You are fake! You just want to flirt with us, is that what the CEO asked you to do?" I kept beating him with the file that I was holding, which contained my credentials. "Stop!" He Instructed but It fell on deaf ears. The door suddenly opened, revealing the receptionist that directed me earlier. "Mr. Scott!" She screamed "What? Mr. Scott? The CEO of the Scott group of the company?" I exclaimed
