Mateo
I motioned her to sit down, I sat on my chair and looked at her. No makeup could hide her bruises. I also glanced at her wrist and was purple. Whoever did this will pay so hard.
"Uhm, I know I just graduated from college, but I'm a fast learner and you will not get any errors from me."
"I know, that's why I want you to be my new assistant. I need the best people by my side." I smiled.
"Are you saying the job is mine?"
"Yes, welcome to the company. You can start on Monday, be here at 8 am. I dislike tardiness."
"Thank you so much. This job is important to me." She sighed in relief.
"Glad to have you aboard. Now let's talk about those bruises." I said as I pointed at her face and wrist.
"Oh this, I fell down the stairs."
I gave her a look and she just sighed, "Last night at the bar, one of the VIP guest wanted get some fun, and I refused. The boss found out and hit me really hard."
"Thank you for sharing that information with me. I'll make sure he never lays a hand on any girl in this city." I said as my hands formed a fist.
"I don't want to get in trouble, he scares me to be honest. He might find me at my place and-" She was running out of air while talking.
"Breathe, Kristy. Men like him belong behind bars. I'll make sure of that." I told her as I grabbed my phone.
"Liam, I think it's time we buy a club and send a jerk to jail." He agreed and told me he would have everything ready.
"Done. No one will harm you." I smiled.
"Thank you." She smiled back. What a beautiful smile she has, I could see her dimples. Can she get any more beautiful?
Kristy
I thanked Mateo for this opportunity, I still can't believe he did that for me. Jojo told me people feared him when it came to doing business. In her words, 'He always gets what he wants.'. honestly, that little phrase was a bit scary. But today, I didn't see that man, I just saw a very generous man.
I left his office and was stopped by the same girl from earlier. "You won't last in this job; he fired his assistant last week. No one can deal with his temper."
"Well, then I will deal with it. No one will scare me away from this job. Not even a fake barbie like you." With that said I left. I was so happy with this opportunity that this crazy woman wasn't going to ruin it for me.
I went to visit my parents at the cemetery, it's been two months since I last came here. I stayed here for an hour and then went to the city to buy new clothes, nice ones, I can't afford designers clothes. plus, I'm not. fan of that either. some are ugly.
I lost track of time that when I looked at my phone, it was 1 pm. I got in my car and went home. After a 30-minute drive, I arrived home and as soon as I entered, I was met by Chloe jumping in my arms.
"Sissy!! I missed you." She gave me a big bear hug. I really needed this hug right now.
"I missed you too." I told her as I walked with her in my arms to the living room.
"Hey, how did everything go today?" Jojo asked me.
"Perfect, I got the job as his assistant." I smiled. "And he will also buy the club and send to jail Robert for what he did to me."
"Nice, I think someone has took a shine at you." She smirked.
"He was just being nice, he told me he dislikes guys who disrespect women."
"It's going to happen." She wiggled her eyebrows. I can't with her sometimes.
We left the house and went grocery shopping. Ever tried doing groceries with a four-year-old? Its crazy.
"I want this and this oh and this." Chloe said while adding cookies and other junk food.
"Chloe, that's too much junk food." I gave her a look.
"But cookies and potatoes chips are the best." She pouted while giving me her puppy eyes.
"Fine, but no more junk food." We have enough to last us till next year." I sighed as she giggled.
"Chloe don't-" Jojo told her but it was late. She broke a flower vase.
"Oops." She covered her mouth. Next time I'm leaving her with Jojo at home and I do groceries alone.
Once we paid for the groceries, we put everything in the car, since this little person is always at it, I decided a little punishment for today's event. maybe then, she will listen when one says no. We went to a kid's store and found the cutest pink outfit, pink flats and ribbons.
"Nope, I look like a cotton candy." She pouted while crossing her arms.
"This is what happens when you don't listen." I reminded her. "Count your lucky stars I'm not grounding you."
"Fine, but just for today."
"And tomorrow too." I pinched her cheeks. As Jojo laughed at the sight of Chloe being covered in pink.
We left the store and went back home. I wonder how will my first day at work will go. Hopefully he isn't a jerk boss. looks can be deceiving. Hopefully all goes well.
