Chapter 7

Alissa woke up with the sound of her cell phone ringing. She looked at her wall clock and saw the time, it was 8:30 am.

Who can call me at this time?

She thought to herself. She picked up her cell phone and answered it.

Alissa: Hello?

Unknown Person: Is this Alissa Lawrence?

Alissa: Umm...Yes..

Unknown Person: I am speaking from William Enterprises. I wanted to inform you that you got the job and you can start tomorrow. You have to be here at 10:00 am sharp. I hope I made myself clear"

Alissa: Oh my god. Thank you. And yes I will reach at 10:00 am sharp. Thank you.

Unknown Person: Have a nice day ma'am.

And with that, the call came to an end. She was staring at her cell phone with a shocked look. She was holding the cell phone very tightly. She looked at Jade. She was sleeping.

"WAKE UP JADE!!!" She shouted with excitement.

"JESUS SAVE US....WHAT HAPPENED?" Jade woke up and said.

Alissa laughed and gave her a bone-crushing hug.

"What is so special today?" Jade asked. Curious to know what the matter was. Cause Alissa hardly ever get so excited. She must have got this much happy only when she got her first salary. That also she spent on her sister. Almost.

She started to show her biggest smile and said "I got the job" She said it so quickly that it took Jade a moment or few to realise what she said. Her lips got into an 'O' shape and she started to squeal. She jumped on Alissa and said

"I am so happy for you sister"

"Listen, we are going shopping. Also, I will buy some new clothes for myself, so I could always look presentable at work"

Jade nodded. First, Alissa took a shower and then Jade. They ate their breakfast and went shopping. As they lived in New York it was kind of hard for them to keep up with other people's mentality and their higher standards.

New york city, Rochester, the place where they live is a nice city. There are good malls even where you could buy good stuff and New York is also good in fashion. It is a benefit though for them it is hard sometimes to afford expensive things.

They both entered 'Village Gate Square'

It is a nice mall, although a little expensive but when will the savings help. Right?

They went to different shops but some were not of their type and some were too expensive. They entered in the other one. There were clothes which she could afford. Alissa and Jade were eying every dress. Finally, Alissa started to get her types of dresses which she needed.

She tried some dresses and finally figured out which are the ones that she wanted. She bought them and was elated. They both went into a restaurant and ordered their food. They talked about some stuff. All the girly stuff though.

"Hey, are you excited about your new job?" Jade asked.

"Of course I am...Why wouldn't I? It can be a turning point of my life after all" Alissa said. It really can be a turning point in her life. Jade's eyes suddenly got frozen in one direction. She was just looking at someone.

Alissa clapped her hands in front of her and said "Whom are you looking at?" Jade just smirked and said "Look at that boy behind you" Alissa turned her face around and saw that there was a man in a suit and tie and as she looked at his face her eyes almost popped out. Eric.

He suddenly makes eye contact with them.

Is he following me everywhere?

Alissa thought. He started to walk towards them. "I guess you know him?" Jade asked.

"My boss"

Jade got up and said "I have to go to the loo" Jade said and quickly left.

Alissa turned around and he stood right behind her. Alissa swallowed hard. She let out a nervous laugh and said "Hello sir"

Eric sat in the chair next to her and said "Are you following me or what?" There was a brief silence. Alissa stared at him looking at his face. His blue eyes. His pink lips. His perfectly shaped nose. His hair nicely done, slit back.

"Are you kinda obsessed with checking me out every time or something?" Eric said sarcastically.

"Ah....um...no...and....I-I am not following you. Uh... Thank you for...um..the job" Alissa was stuttering and was finding it hard to form a sentence all of a sudden. It was a habit of her, when she stutter means she is nervous. She also has a little bit of anxiety problem. Although, she never told this to anyone. But, yeah.

"No need to say thank you. I just thought to bless someone by making their lives less difficult" He said rudely.

Ouch!!!!

Alissa was kinda hurt by his words. He didn't favour them by giving them this job. He smirked and got up from his chair and left. Jade came back and said, "So what did he talked to you about?" Jade was curious to know but maybe Alissa wanted to kill that curiousness so she said "Just some stuff which you will not understand. So eat your food"

Jade pouted but thought to let it go. Alissa thought about what her first day of office would be like. How will she handle her arrogant, rude and smart boss?
