Adeline Monteiro~
I had slept in the cramped up place of Eva and the rest of her roommates but since I wasn't all that comfortable with it, I woke up early and was able to have my bath, I wrapped the towel around my body and walked back to the room, Selina and Eva were both entangled which only made me chuckle, This isn't the first time I will be sleeping over at Eva's place but then it wasn't like I am a frequent visitor. I pulled my bag and began to dress for the day, I could only hope that I got the job. I wore my clothes and pulled down my hair from the ponytail that it was in. now out of all the features of my body, I loved my hair the most and took care of it like my baby. I have long wavy brown hair that didn't need much work to get it bouncy. I brushed my hair and applied lip gloss to my dry lips. I was done dressing up and looked at Eva who was still sleeping and snoring. I bent over slightly and tapped her so she could wake up but of course, I needed a whole serenade for that "Eva!' I called out her name this time and called out her name which thankfully she did respond to. "What?" She asked sleepily, gently rubbing her eyes as she sat on the bed "I am leaving now, I just wanted to tell you that." I said and she nodded "Yeah, yeah, whatever." She replied and laid back on the bed, I sighed and picked my bag but then she sat up again like she was in a daze "you are leaving already?to the interview?" She asked again and I rolled my eyes "Yes, to the interview." I responded and she nodded 'Good luck." She slurred out and I chuckled "Thank you."I whispered and walked out of the house. A wave of cold fresh air hit me, making me shiver internally, it had been raining cats and dogs all through the night. I began to hasten my steps once I checked the time, the interview was starting by 9 am and now it was 7-48. I burst out on the road and boarded a taxi to Central park south. I had taken some money from Eva and she sure is going to flip but then again what are friends for right? I prayed internally that I got the job. In no time we arrived at the place, I got down from the taxi and paid the taxi driver, I waited for my change and after I collected it, I walked into the extremely,extremely large building by the right which jhas "ASHFORD" written boldly on it. my legs felt queazy as i walked into the furnished building but i was determined to get the damned job. I walked stragight to the reception where I saw a lady who I guess was the receptionist. She looked like she was in her late twenties, had a white blonde hair and pale skin, her eyes were extremly blue with thin lips, "Welcome to Ashford, how may I help you?" Her voice came out surprisingly firm "Hi..Good morning, I am here for the interview." I said and she raised her eyebrows slightly, She streched her neck forward and looked at me in a very distasteful manner. "Is something wrong?" I asked, feeling self concious of my appearance but she smiled, an extremely fake smile "None at all, You said you are here for the interview right?" She asked and I nodded again, I was pretty sure I was more than clear the first time. "Please sign the attendance book, take the elevator to the top floor and ask for Dan,." She said and I nodded, taking the pen on the table but she stopped me "Actually, I would need to dis-infect the pen if you touch it but if you may please use a pen from you, you see I have a weird reaction to things like this." She said and I paused, I swallowed the lump in my throat and nodded, reaching into my purse and brought out my pen. I signed the book, I walked towards the elevator but turned back to see the receptionist shuddering, I looked down at my appearance one more time still baffled with her behaviour, stepping into the elevator and pressed the top button. I looked at myself in the mirrior but still couldn't understand what was wrong, I placed my hand over my mouth to smell my breathe but it was fine.' She is just trying to make you loose your confidence Adeline'
I got out of the elevator once I got to the top floor and then looked around, I saw a young man who from the looks of it was working in the company 'Sorry to bother but I am asking for a certain Mr Dan, I am here for the interview." I said and he paused "I am Dan and was just about to get back to work, If you will please follow me" He said and I breathed a sigh of relief, Imagine If I had spent some more time talking to the mannequin downstairs. we walked towards a room where I saw other applicants, my heart dropped to my stomach on seeing about twenty people apllying for the same post. 'Thank you," I whispered and sat down, my legs was feeling wobbly, I sat there clutching my bag to myself, A lady opened the door "Applicant 1" The lady said and a man stood up and walked out of the room. Time went by and different people were called in, My heart was thumping so hard hat I thought it would burst out open, I was the only one remaining in the room. the door opened and the same lady looked at me "Applicant 20." She said and I stood up, i took a dep breathe and exhaled 'I had to get this Job as soon as possible." I walked with the woman and passed through a hall way, The woman leading me stopped at a door and gestured at me to go in, I took a deep breathe and exhaled again, On the door was 'McGuire's' boldly written on it. I gently knocked on the door and waited for a response "Come in.' I heard a deep voice say and I twisted the door knob, I walked into the large, Crazily, biggest office I have ever seen in my life. I walked quietly and stood by the chair. The office was painted in a white paint,some blue couch was at the side of the office, A glass large table and some amazing drawing of flowers hung on the walls. Have your sit." The man said but his back was turned ,looking at the wall. I could tell that he was a very tall and broad chested man, A deep smell of chocolates and vanilla filled my nostrils. "I m sorry for keeping you waiting.' The man said and turned to face me. My eyes widen on seeing who it was. The same man from the club? The one I spent the night with? "Mr Hot Specimen?" I blurted out.
ChapterI couldn’t understand exactly what was happening? Why was he here? “Y-You!? You are him? Him is you?” I shook my head, This couldn’t be possible “Mr hot specimen?” I blurted out and his eyes widen “I see, Is that my name?” He asked and I shut my eyes closed. Now there was no way in hell I would be getting this job. “See, I’m really sorry about that night.” I rushed out “You are sorry that we spent the night together?” He asked and I shook my head “No, that’s not what I meant,” I saw him smirking and facepalmed myself “I mean, I’m sorry sir, I didn’t mean- oh goodness,” I was making a complete fool of myself while he sat there enjoying the show. I was done making a fool of myself, I stood up “I’m sorry, I have been wasting your time.” I said dejectedly and attempted to walk away “Aren’t you here for the interview?” He says and I paused, turning to look at him “Have your seat and let’s g
"Adeline! Adeline! Adeline!" I heard someone call my name repeatedly and I looked up sleepily at who was calling me, "Eva!? what is the issue?" I cried out and she placed her palms against my mouth, as though she wanted to silence my existence. "You have a call." She said and gestured at the phone in her other hand. "What?" I gestured, raising my shoulders up and down. She removed her hand from my mouth and gave me the phone. I collected it from her and raised my eyebrows. "Hello.." I murmured into the phone and waited for a response. "Ms. Monteiro?" A female voice says and I looked at Eva puzzled "Who is it?" I mouthed and she shrugged "I don't know." She mouthed back. "Yes, It is me? How can I help you/" I asked "I am Daniella, calling from Ashford group of companies. I am calling to officially tell you that you have been hired to work with us as the personal assistant, We have sent you a mail to let you know and also all the information you will need about your job and the remune
Alex~I was done with work for the day but still hadn’t left the company, My mind was still pretty stocked on seeing the same lady, The same one that has been on my mind for some day, I saw her in the flesh in my company. I could hardly remember what had happened that same night but yes I am wanted it to happen again. Seeing her today brought back the night.My office door flew open and I looked to see who had barged into my office. Ricardo! Wasn’t he supposed to be in Vegas? Why was he still here in Manhattan?“Rossi, what are you doing in my company?” I asked and he rolled his eyes “Such a way to welcome your beloved best friend? You’re such a friend.” He said and I chuckled “Aren’t you supposed to be in Vegas?” I asked and he collapsed on the couch, I stood up and walked closer to him “I am so tired of working
Adeline~Okay so today I resume work at Ashford group of companies and well am I hyped about it, Yes I am. Am I bold and confident about it? No I am not.I mean I feel like I would fuck up and be sacked again but then if there was one thing I will do, It will be that I will give it my best.I got off the bed and walked into my bathroom, Now most of you will only remember Mr Wendy cutting off my water supply but then again yesterday when I got back to this hell hole, the water was running and I was able to store about two buckets of water. Apparently Mr Wendy had travelled about a day ago for his relative’s burial and won’t be back till a week’s time. See how God works.I finished with my bath and walked back to the room, taking out
Adeline~I looked around my office again and smiled in satisfaction, This is my office. My office! "In your face Mr. Brandon.! " I yelled internally and dropped my bag on my table, taking a seat on my chair as I rolled around, the happiness I felt at that moment could definitely not be destroyed even by Uriel. The door to my office opened again and I stood up immediately. Daniella came in with a smile on her face and passed the balm to me. "Here, it should reduce the pain and also the purple shade." She said and passed it over to me. I collected it and smiled at her 'Thank you." I say and she smled at me, Daniella was an extremely beautiful lady, she had the kardashian body type and Emma Watsonkind of beauty. She walked out of the office and I opened the balm, applying the yellow mixture gently on my wrist, I cursed Uriel internally for giving me such a bruise. I stood up and looked at my office again, My office wasspacious with white marble tiles, a large bl
Alex~My eyes were trained on her figure as I looked at her working, I only asked her to arrange the shelf because I wanted to see her, I didn't want her to leave so soon. Earlier when I arrived Daniella had informed me about what Uriel did today. I was livid! Uriel was like a leech, a pest! one of those family members you just have to help because of their numerous problems. but you see the thing with Uriel is that she is adopted and because of that she thinks she has a chance with me or any rich man. It was sickening and absolutely disgusting to see her trying to seduce me. I mean she is my cousin adopted or not but apparently only I think of that, she doesn't. "I am done with the work sir." I heard Adeline's voice which brought me out of my thoughts, my gaze returned to her as she stood awkwardly in front of me. I looked at the shelf she had arranged and sighed, I couldn't ask her to do anything else. "Perfect, Daniella will give you more lessons so you unde
e~My insides were churning with excitement from being beside him, we both were trying to stay away from the fact that we literally had sex once and now I am hisemployee. I looked ahead and realized that we were almost at my house. "I am okay here sir, my house is just around the corner." I said and he glanced at me "Is thatright?" He asked and I nodded "Yes sir." I replied and he parked the car "Okay, have a goodnight, Adeline." He says and I smiled "Thank you, have a goodnight sir." I saidand got down from the car, My heart was beating so fast on hearing him call my name. 'Adeline' I loved how it rolled effortlessly. I sighed and watched the car drive off.Now I lied, my house isn't around the corner but I was scared he would or might see someone like Mr. Wendy who would embarrass me in front of him. I called Eva onmy phone and she picked up almost immediately "Bitch, how was your first day.?" She asked and I thought about it, How was my first d
Adeline~I walked into my office and dropped my bag on the table, I was still wondering what had happened to Uriel but then maybe she genuinely was sorry and I have nothing to be worried about.I heard a knock on my office door and I stood at alert, “come in.” I say and the door knob twisted, Daniella walked into the office with a smile on her face “Hey newbie.” She said and I smiled “Hi Dani, I can call you Dani right?” I asked, hoping she wouldn’t be offended. She scoffed and waved it aside “I don’t mind it, Mr McGuire should be here soon but I was hoping you would want to catch lunch with us.” She said and I raised my eyebrows “Us?” I say and she chuckled “Well me and two other colleagues, I know that you are new and might want to get lunch with us.” She said. I smiled at her and nodded “I would love to.” I say and she sighed “I’ll see you during lun
