Falling for Miss Clumsy

Chapter 5

Rosaline's pov

Looking at the greek god in front of me I can't help but check him out, not gonna lie he looks great, with his piercing black eyes, sharp jaw with slight stubble and striking jet black hair that is styled neatly with gel.

''You can leave now, Miss Bernardes'' He ordered looking straight at me and like an airhead I am, I thought that he's talking to me so I turned my back to leave but stopped when he spoke again.

''Not you, I'm talking to Miss Layla.'' he said amusement clear in his voice and upon hearing his words, Layla muttered a small ok and turn to go outside but not before mouthing 'Control your mouth' to me.

"Have a seat, Miss Bernardes" he orders dominance and authority coming out of his body. I walk hesitantly towards the chair in front of mahogany desk when the folder that I'm holding slips from my grip due to my sweaty palms.

Sighing mentally, I bend down to pick it up when a ripping sound made me freeze in the mid air and I'm damn sure I'm not the only one who heard it.

My eyes widened as I know all too well where the sound came from but I force myself not believe it. Please tell me it's not my skirt. Please. I prayed and begged silently while looking down at my tight pencil skirt that I wore now exposing my pale lower thigh as the skirt ripped at the right side bottom, but thankfully it's not that big, I still can secure it with a safety pin.

Picking up the folder, I walk hastily towards the chair to save myself from further embarrassment.

Sitting down, I pass him my CV just like Layla instructed earlier as I'm already dying to be out of this room, but he didn't take it, he instead stare right into my bright green eyes as if trying to read my mind. I quickly look down not finding any courage to stare back, plus I'm an easy person to read, my eyes conveys my emotions most of the time, that's what mom says.

The moment I look down, a growl escapes from his lips making me jump in surprise. Is he an animal or something?, I thought to myself amusingly.

"No, I'm not an animal, Miss Bernardes but I can be an animal whenever I want to'' he responded making me almost choke with my own spit.

What the? Did I said that a loud? I thought to myself and then he again responded, ''Yes, you did said it aloud, Miss Bernardes'' while checking my CV.

''Tell me about yourself, Miss Bernardes'' He exclaimed whilst placing his chin in his hand, making me jump with excitement.

''Well my name is Rosaline Bernardes, actually no, my full name is Rosaline Marie Bernardes not many know my full name as I rarely use it but my mom always use my full name especially when she's angry. I'm 21 years old. I may have only have only one sister but whenever people ask me how many sister I have, I always say I have two as I also consider Sophia as my sister.'' I ranted continuously when he held his hand up making me frown at him.

''when I asked you tell me about yourself, what I meant to say is that tell me your qualifications, Miss Bernardes not about your personal informations'' He responded while sighing.

''I'm sorry, Mr. Rivera.'' I apologised looking down at my knotted fingers that sat in my lap, feeling nervous as I already know where this interview is getting. Once he get to knows that I studied only upto high school he's gonna say what most said to me. Sorry but we don't think that you're qualified enough for this post, Miss Bernardes.

''I'm waiting, Miss Bernardes'' he said pulling me back to reality.

''Uhmm, I did my high school at St. Terressa and as for college, I never went so technically in short, I don't have any degree or experience that you're looking for.'' I mumbled fiddling with my fingers nervously.

Taking my CV from his grasp, I get up from my seating position as I already know what is his answer.

''Thanking you for considering taking this interview, Mr. Rivera it means a lot and I'm sorry for wasting your time'' I stated fixing my bag around my shoulder.

''What are you talking about, Miss Bernardes and where the hell are you going?. I don't remember telling you that you can leave.'' He hissed looking furious.

''I'm going home, Mr Rivera'' I replied rolling my eyes.

''I can see that, Miss Bernardes and don't you dare roll your eyes at me'' he fumed. 

I look at him with my head slightly tilted utterly confused.

''Why on earth are you leaving in mid way of your interview, Miss Rosaline'' he questioned me.

''What?, you mean to say I still have chance to get this job?'' I inquired him desperately making him sigh.

''Miss. Bernardes please sit down.'' he ordered.

''I'm not qualified for this job Mr. Rivera so why are you wasting your time'' I muttered feeling so down and disappointed.

''I know you're not qualified for this job, Miss Bernardes but I'm willing to give it to you as our company badly need a secretary at this moment since our last one retired.'' he stated making me gasp dramatically placing my hand to my chest.

''Don't get too excited, miss Rosaline. Listen carefully and get this tattooed inside that brain of yours. Don't think that you are special, the only reason that I'm hiring you because we are desperate at this moment and I know you are too.'' He explained but I'm too overwhelmed to even listen to him.

''Thank you so much, I promise you won't be disappointed with me, Mr. Rivera''I exclaimed taking his big, warm and rough hand and shake it longer than necessary making him pull his hand from me as if I burned him.

Finally, I can be at ease without having to worry about marrying Franco.
