CHAPTER ONE: THE MEETING
I am so tired right now, today is the 50th day I’ll wake up in the early morning to go in search of a job. Everyday well except weekends, I walk around with cooperate attire looking for a job or where I’ll see a vacancy notice but it seems like wherever I go bad luck follows me. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t believe in bad luck but in this case I have too, wherever I go or wherever I enter the vacancy is given to someone else already. Well, if there is anything I learnt is not giving up and I’ll get a job no matter what. This time I decided to apply online to one of the reputable companies with the hope of me getting into the interview part. It’s been two days and no messages or word from them.
My name is Hazel Brown, I am twenty-five. My parents are dead which means I live alone with no friends or relatives. After the death of my parents, the orphanage took me and put me through college and then I got a scholarship to University of Southern California. So I went for business administration and came out with a good grade but like I said my bad luck won’t let me get a job. Life is straining, it takes patience, courage to be able to play the games of life and come out a winner. Now I’m quoting, ‘Oh’ Lord! Please help me get a job today. As God would have it, I heard a beep sound from my phone and it is the company I applied online for a job and written here I’m asked to come today for the interview. Wow! I’m so happy, this is entirely a miracle. Thank you Lord, I’ll forever be grateful. I have to take a shower now. ---------------------------------------------------------- Sitting in the cab, I can’t help but get nervous. It’s my first interview and I don’t want to make a bad impression. I’ve heard rumors about the company I am going to be interviewed. ‘De parker Enterprise’ owned by the Parkers. Right now M Parker is retired, therefore making his only child, Justin Parker, the CEO of the company. Rumors said that Justin is one of the good looking guys we have in Los Angeles. I mean we have other guys who are good looking to but girls worship Justin and the floor he shoes steps on. 'We've arrived ma'am'
‘hmm’
‘we’re here in the company’ As soon as those words left his mouth, the nervousness just came back. I came down from the taxi, paid the driver and started walking to the entrance of the company. By the way the company is big and painted with the mixture of gold and ivory. I went inside the company and by the right I saw a beautiful blonde, our eyes met and she smiled I can tell that she’s nice, if I’m lucky enough to get this job I’ll love to make her my friend.
‘Hi I’m Hazel, I’m here for the interview’
‘Good morning Hazel, I’m Stella and I’ve been waiting for your arrival’
‘I’m so sorry for keeping you waiting I got the message a little bit late’
‘It is okay. The interview is on the 15th floor, use the elevator’ ‘Thank you Stella’. I stepped into the elevator and pressed the 15th number. After a while it stopped, I got out and met the secretary, he directed me to the CEO office for the interview, so I got in. The office radiated warmth, with polished desks, cream walls, and natural light. The air was sweet freshly brewed coffee and subtle jasmine, amidst gentle chatter and lush greenery.
‘Umm’ Oh no, I forgot I was in my boss office’
‘Yes you did.’ That voice low, raspy tone that sent shivers down my spine. His voice is gentle caress, soothing and sensual, drawing me in. And then I turned, only to be met with the most breathtakingly handsome man I’d ever laid my eyes on. Although he’s seated, yet radiating power, his broad chest and chiseled shoulders caught my eye. Piercing blue eyes, strong jawline, and messy dark hair made my heart skip a beat. ‘Miss Hazel, if you keep looking at me like this I’m afraid that we’ll spend the whole day here staring at each other eyes. Please take a seat’
‘I’m so sorry, Sir’
‘It is okay. So tell me about yourself.’
‘I’m Hazel Brown, 25 years old. I studied Business administration in University Of Southern California. I lack professional tenure. This is my first interview and possibly Job.’
‘Miss Hazel, your impressive credentials reveal that you excelled in your studies securing the ‘Best Student Award’ in Business Administration. With that only I’m ready to hire you, but that will only be possible if you promise to adhere to the company’s rules and regulations, and fulfill your obligations as an employee.’
‘I promise to respect the company’s confidentiality and intellectual property obligations.’ He smiled and I’m honest when I say that he’s smile is captivating, very captivating. I love his smile and I think I love everything about him.
‘Miss Hazel, you’ll start work tomorrow. I hate tardiness so you must be here before 7:30am in the morning.’
‘Am I correct in assuming I’ve been offered the job, sir?’
‘Yes, Miss Hazel, you’ve been offered the job as my PA.’
‘Thank you, sir.’ I went straight to his chair drag him up and hugged him but wait what did I just do, did I just hug my boss? Just when I got a job, my childishness wants to ruin it. What do I do now, it will be awkward if I pull out and push him away, it will appear as though he forcefully hugged me, I think I’ll stay here for a while and disengage slowly so that it won’t look awkward, well that’s what I thought before someone stepped in and spoilt my moment with him. ---------------------------------------------------
JUSTIN POV I can’t remember the last time I’ve allowed a lady to hug me, I must say it was sudden but to think that I’m enjoying it is really mysterious. After my last relationship I vowed never let a woman come into my life course women can never be trusted. You let a woman into your life and she betrays you, but there’s something about her which I can’t seem to place my hands. Since the minute she entered I’ve been looking at her ass, you may thing I’m a p*****t but I’m not, I mean I’ve seen a lot of ladies with bigger ass and bigger boobs but hers is just perfect, the way I like it. Not too big and not too small, just perfect and I can tell that it will fit into my hands. And now that she’s hugging me and my hands below her wait, I’m tempted to touch her ass but doing that will make me look like I’m a p*****t and my intentions will be mistaken. She smells nice, so nice that I don’t mind having her in my arms all day. Well my thoughts were cut short when my secretary barged into my office, I think it’s urgent if not he wouldn’t have made that mistake. Well I guess my excitement has been caught short but I’ll be seeing her often since she’s my PA and I’ll ask my secretary to move the PA office into mine so that I’ll have enough time to look at her, but for now it’s time to bid her a goodbye,
‘I’ll see you tomorrow, Miss Hazel’ She’s shy and I can’t help but smile, she looks so cute, the cutest.
‘Okay sir, thanks’ with that she gave me a warm smile and waved at my secretary who keeps smiling sheepishly.
