Margaret POV
I stood across the bridge ruminating about my past experiences. It hasn't been easy sine I received a shocking heart break from the man whom I taught was my dream Man. It was the worst day of my life and the memory couldn't just let go. I should have earlier listened to my mom's warning concerning Men and their deceitful ways but it wasn't my fault at all. Micheal and I dated for good three years, who could ever predicted things would end the way it ended. The fact that he was my first lover, the man who won my heart. I have never been in love before but Micheal made me to experience that feeling.
The feeling made whole of me and thus am regretting today. Indeed Men are evil. I guess today's meant to be our wedding if he haven't done this to me. Tears dropped from my eyes when I picture Micheal with my best friend on my own bed, playing my favorite song. I could clearly remember the pains that struck my heart at that moment. If he had picked my calls earlier I wouldn't have witnessed such a mess. I screamed deeply before they could realize my presence and quickly cover themselves. I would have killed the both of them if he hadn't rush to remove the knife that was on the table closer the bed. It was really horrible as I cried like a baby rendering abuses on them.
To my greatest surprised Micheal wasn't feeling sorry for his actions. After proposing to me three days ago and now I caught you cheating,you are now defending yourself. As if that was not enough, he accused me of been crazy and that was his excuse for dumping me. For the past three years we dated he didn't mentioned that to me and I wasn't crazy just that I have some kind of negative attitude but that's normal as every human has his own weakness.
I crept passed the other side of the bridge, watching some kids playing happily. I must move on with my life. I wouldn't let my past deter and disrupt my future. At least I have gotten a little experience that's just it.
I was still on thought when I heard a loud scream from behind. I quickly turned only to see myself tumbling down the bridge.
'Oh my God!' I shouted. I almost got hit by a van. If I haven't turned maybe I'd be unconscious by now. I took a glance at my phone and I realized I have been here for some hours . I quickly put on my headset and played some songs as I walked to my house. Mom was outside with my sister Evelyn when I passed without even greeting her. I guess she understands how I am feeling and didn't try to break in. I walked straight to my room,shut the door and laid on the bed. I haven't had a meal since morning and I wasn't feeling hungry. I think am totally depressed. I pondered on how to get myself but the more I try the harder it becomes. I was about dozing off when the noise from my phone brought me to consciousness. I wanted to ignore but it kept on repeating so I decided to check who was calling me.
It was Mike, a good friend of mine. He wouldn't stop checking on me not that we are into any kind of relationship ,he is just concern about my wellbeing and at least I love him for that. "why would he call me " I asked myself . I would have ignored if it was another person but I wouldn't dare ignore Mike. I quickly called him as I was eager to know the reason he called and also he's just found of making me happy.
'hi Mike', how are you?
'I'm fine Margaret. Sorry for bothering you'
'that's okay besides I didn't say so'
'I want to inform you that you got the job you applied for'.
On hearing that I shouted. Instantly my mood changed. I have always dream of that job and at last I'd got it. Indeed Mike always makes me happy. I just couldn't stop shouting out of joy.
"I'm going to send everything to your mail so you'd see it yourself".
"okay dear," I replied ready to hang the call.'Bye!' I ended the call. At this point my mood has totally change. At last I will be working in the biggest company in Pretoria. I jumped up shouting and celebrating. I quickly ran to my mom to tell her about it. She was already confused at my mood. I came back sorrowful and all of a sudden am the most happiest in the house. The fact that am happy makes her really glad.
'Congratulations sweetheart, am so happy for you' she responded with a smile on her face.
My jubilations were out of bound and I couldn't control my emotions. For the first time I yelled happily since I was heartbroken. I'm happy am finally recovering from this stigma Micheal has put me into. I hurriedly check my mail to see more about my new employment.
'whoa... I shouted' am supposed to be there tomorrow for an interview with the Manager. The joy in me was really overwhelming as I just decided to take a good rest till tomorrow.
"at last, I will be working in my dream company" that was the last thing I said before dozing off.
Seems I couldn't sleep well due to my happiness. I had waken up earlier and dressed up before my mom did. She was kinda shock because of the way we normally struggle for me to get off my bed but it looks different today.
'magaret the cab is waiting' my mom shouted. I quickly apply my lip gloss,picked up my phone and hurriedly left my room. "good bye mom" I shouted while leaving the house. "Be a good girl and stay safe" mom replied me. I entered the cab I ordered and we drove down the company. It took about an hour drive before we'd reach our destination. "wow what a magnificent and luxurious building" I whispered only to my hearing. I walked further with my eyes glancing round the environment I found myself in and admiring every bit of it.
'Excuse me,am here for an interview should I keep going' I asked one of the security men. He nodded at me.
"can you please take me there,am new here"
"come with me" he said
I gently followed him but I couldn't stop admiring the building. The company is owned by late billionaire Godson Robertson. But is being managed by his two sons(Clinton and Donald). I have had a lot about them and finally I will be working with them. The legacy their father left has made them very reputable and well respected. According to rumors, the elder is very proud and arrogant while the second is humble and calm. It was rumored that they both love women but am yet to confirm that.
"Enter the first office by your right" the security man said.
"thank you sir" I responded. I have been glancing around since I came in that's because everything look so unique and it gives me joy having a nice look. I was carried away with was I was seeing but my mind was brought back when I bumped into a male figure.
Bam! I staggered and it's like when one lean far back on a chair hoping to catch oneself but suspend in the air for a while. My hands were on the air and my feet trying to find grip. I tried placing my hands downwards so I would prevent my ass off the floor.
Surprisingly, I was caught in my waist as I look face to face with the person I collided with. His hair was Achilles-gold and coiffed to perfection. His eyes had the same startling clarity as a mountain stream and the lineaments of his face were in perfect proportion to each other.
He seemed moulded from a different cast as he had an androgynous look uncommon to most people. Lacquered and enamelled by the sun, he radiated energy and brio. His mountain peak cheekbones appeared chiselled into shape by a master craftsman.
I couldn't stop admiring him as I was lost in thought through his handsomeness.
"Excuse me Ma, are you okay?" he asked with a sonorous voice.
I stared at him like I didn't hear him say anything. Indeed his look was driving me crazy.
"ahhh......" I screamed holding my butt.
This time I was back to my sense. He'd let his hands off me and I landed like a fallen tree on the floor.
"Why did you fall me " I asked angrily.
"perhaps you weren't taught you should watch while walking"
I felt cold within.He just couldn't apologize for letting me fall from his arms. He wouldn't have hold me at first.
"but you caught me by my waist,why would you let me fall" I asked him again. This time my heart is already boiling and I'm gonna give him the shock of his life.
"Well, I can say it's intentional so as to teach you a lesson. Hope you do learn from it".he replied
I couldn't hold myself anymore. I drew closer to him and give him a kick at his balls.
"I think you learn a lesson from this too, arrogant piece of s**t"
This time I have ended my conversation with him. I walked majestically off his presence leaving him groaning in pain.
I had taken fewer steps before approaching the office I was directed to earlier. I opened the door gently only to meet a female figure dozing on a swivel chair.
"Excuse me ma'am"
I think I'd wake her up from sleep. Her eyes were thick red and that gave me the impression that she had been sleeping for quite some time. she was just looking at me like a statue.
"em... I'm here for the interview"
"Sit down please" she picked up a telephone and made a call.
Shortly after the call she gave me a genial look. I responded also grinning at her.
"Are you Miss Margaret??"
"Yes Ma'am". I responded cheerfully.
Congratulations you have been employed personally by the owner of the company and he'll love you to work directly under him.
I couldn't just believe what I was hearing. I will be working with the owner of this large company. I screamed out of joy.
"Are you alright?" the female figure asked.
"Am sorry ma'am, I just couldn't hold it any longer".
"I'll have to take you to CEO to sign on my employment paper directly" the woman said.
"Why must the CEO be the one to sign on my paper" I asked myself curiously.
Well it's not of my business who signs the paper,what matters to me most is the job am about to get.
I left the office together with her to the CEO.
Like his name his office got me pondering if he was a God. Yes he is the CEO but this is only meant for angels. I couldn't explain vividly the way the office looks like because it just left me astonished and speechless.
"Sir,I want you to sign this employment paper"the woman asked in a low tone as if she was talking to a God.
I had put on my glasses while in the woman's office but it seems am not comfortable with it so I decided to take it off. I took a look at the CEO only for me to discover it was the man I collided with on my way to her office. I was shocked and didn't even know when I started sweating all over my body.
"Oh God please don't let him turn against me" I prayed earnestly in my heart.
"Are you for this employment??" he asked me.
"Yes yes" I responded shivering. The woman beside me noticed the way I was and asked if I was okay. I nodded in agreement.
What's keeping him from signing the paper. I guessed we have spent more than ten minutes in his office. I had already made up my mind to accept my fate.
To my surprise, he signed the paper and gave it to me not even the woman that gave it to him. He stared at me but I couldn't look at his handsome face. I collected it and hurriedly left his office.
"Have you met him before" the woman asked by the time we got outside.
"No Ma, any issue with that??" I asked her
"I don't think so" she replied.By the way congratulations to you once again she gave me a warm hug.
"Am looking forward to working with you" I said already leaving her office.
"Am I to resume tomorrow??" I asked her.
"For sure,you are already an employee" "Thanks once more" I said to her again as I headed towards the exit door back to the cab to take me home.
