Natasha held his phone, "What?" Her eyelashes flutter in confusion.
"Since you lost your other job as a chef, I just found a new one." He almost shoved the phone to her face, but he lowered it, and tucked it back into her pockets.
"Really? What?" She was finally happy, after she lost her job two weeks ago, things had really been tough for her and the twins and now that Sky had found a job for her, she felt glad.
"Since you have a degree in business, the job won't be quite hard," He said.
"Can you just tell me the job and stop keeping me in suspense?" She almost rolled her eyes looking at the dramatic display in front of her.
"Okay, so, a new CEO had just brought the whole company , he resides abroad, but he's in the country now, he fired all the employees, and now, he's looking for new ones. To start up, his assistant." Sky explained.
"When's the interview?" She asked earnestly.
"Today." He palmed his lips together.
"Really?" Her eyes shone brightly.
"Yes, and the pay is quite good." He rubbed his hands together.
"That's a lot of money.'' Her eyes widened in surprise, as she reread the benefits over and over again. If she could work there for just a month, she could finally give her twins whatever they wanted.
"So, are you attending the interview?" He asked her, his deep alluring voice ringing into her ears.
"Yes," She stressed out the words, "I have to get ready and take the kids to school, then get dressed and leave for the interview."
"I heard some news," He whispered, leaning in. "That the CEO is a handsome devil, some say he's stoic but hot."
Natasha rolled her eyes, "I am not ready to love again, not especially not after what Alec had done."
His eyes turned dangerously cold all of a sudden, he really hated Alec after all that he had done to his sister, besides he hated rich people right from the very start!
He watched his sister overcome the trauma from scratch, he was there for her whenever she needed him, her pregnancy times, he stood there for her, it was hard for him to, balancing on a scholarship in college.
After minutes, Nikky and Niccy came rushing down from the stairs, their lips were stained with chocolate, and Niccy's light floral gown flowed freely making them look adorable.
"It's time for school," She said to them, she grabbed the towel from the kitchen rack and cleaned their lips.
"Okay mother," They both said as they went to prepare themselves.
She gazed at Sky who was busy with his phone, she stared at him as he smiled to himself while typing on his keyboard.
"Also, I signed for this dating app, oh, and you are going to get your dating life fixed. It's a mess." He laughs, Deep and coarse.
Her mouth formed an 'O', just then, the twins running to her. Niccy was dressed in her typical jeans strapped with her purple blouse.
"Didn't you comb your hair?" She asked Nikky.
"I want mummy to do it," He pouted as he handed her the comb, she chuckled a bit before gently combing his hair. Pulling his dark-brown hair to and fro.
They looked so cute, she couldn't help but pinch their face adoringly.
"Mother, we are not babies anymore," Nikky reached his hands towards her, before he placed it in between his cheeks.
She knew they weren't babies anymore, she was just scared to admit the truth, and one day, she didn't want anyone to take them away from her.
"Okay, let's get to school now, we don't want to be late," She said to them as she grabbed their lunch boxes.
"I will be leaving now, I will drop by some other time, bye," Sky got up, and slowly walked towards the door.
"Uncle Sky, don't forget to bring more chocolates when you visit," Nikky said to him from behind.

Natasha drove them to their school, though she didn't have much money on her, she ensured that her kids went to a nice school.
"Now cuties, Do not make any trouble at school, alright?" She turned particularly to Nikky, he was a very troublesome little boy.
The twins nodded their heads as they ran inside the school. She smiled at their retreating figure. Her pale cheek glowing.
She then left for home, she got dressed in one of her business attire, her blue button down shirt, and her gray blazers.
She then drove off to the A&N conglomerate, she held her CV firmly in her arm as she sighed.
She entered the company and sat down among those who were getting interviewed.
Numerous sighs escaped her lips as she rubbed her palms together, she was having a silent prayer within. She really needed to secure this job, this was the only way she could ensure her kids happiness.
Natasha now known as Cindy sat down among the interviewers, with a sigh, she yawned slightly. "Are you here for the interview?" The woman next to her smiled. "Yes." She simply answered not in the mood, the only thing she was focused on right now was getting the job, she really needed the job. "Great, I am also here for the job and by the way I am Carly," The woman smiled, somehow, her smile felt fake and insecure that Natasha couldn't help but flutter her brows."Miss. Carly, you are next." She nodded before getting up, she turned to Cindy who was rubbing her palms, "I wish us luck," There was something behind that smile, but she couldn't pinpoint what it was. Cindy just nodded her head, Carly went in with a smile, full of herself and composed. After three minutes, Carly came out of the office, tears stuck the edges of her face, she ran away, the tears slipping down her pale cheek.Cindy stiffened, woah, what just happened? she went in with confidence but came out with tears, and
Alec sighed as he gazed at the documents placed neatly on the table, he had to sign all those contracts before tomorrow morning. A sigh escaped his lips, he studied the documents in his hands, his eyes clearly scanning the contents. However, his eyes scanned at the CV that was placed on the table, he must have forgotten to give the lady back her CV. He picked up the CV with curiosity, since he didn't get the chance to read it. He scanned through the contents, and he could say that her educational level was quite high, she had a degree in business, and she would be quite beneficial to the company. He stroked his chin, seeming to be in a deep thought, he was trying to analyze the benefits of employing. And as if he had thought enough, he had already analyzed the benefits. He signed the CV. He was quite impressed by her educational status, he needed her to work in his company. However, her full name wasn't included in the document, her marital status, nor her age wasn't included,
Natasha drove to the kindergarten, she waited outside the school environs, her eyes gazing at her wrist watch every now and then. She gazed at the school entrance, a huge grin plastered across her face when she saw her two slim yet adorable twins running towards her. Their hair flowed as they ran towards her, when they saw her, she patted their heads in an adorable manner. "How was school?" She directly asked her twins with a smile. Niccy stared at nothing in particular, she rubbed her palms together and pointed indirectly at her twin brother. "Mother, Nikky got into a fight today at school," She yawned, trying to catch the look that was supposed to appear on her mother's face. Natasha was startled, with widened eyes, what has her son done now? He was always out casuing trouble, and sometimes, she wondered. Did her son really take over her? "What? Nikky, what did I always tell you?" Her tone was scolding enough, with her hands crossed together. The little boy seemed to rub his
Natasha tidied her son's backpack in a comfortable way before tidying his sister's bag. "We have to go now," She made an attempt to get up from the bench, squinted her eyes lightly and caught a figure that walked up to her. A figure she hasn't seen in years, a figure she hated so much, Alec's sister, what in the heck was she doing here? she boiled in anger, her eyes blaring with rage. She didn't want to see her, so she quickly gripped her children's hand and made an attempt to leave, but it was as if Alexis and her daughter were quick enough to walk up to them. "Hey, are you his mother?" Alexis pointed her hand to Nikky who now stared blankly at the woman. "Yes I am, did my son do anything?" She asked, nodding her head as she stared at Alexis. Thank goodness, this woman didn't recognize her, if her ex-husband couldn't recognize her, then what of this woman? "Your son here clearly insulted my daughter," She crossed her arms over her shoulders, demanding an answer from her. "Real
The next day, In another part of the city, in a flashy mansion, one of the rooms: a woman resided. The rooms were decorated with green floral carpets, the tiles were purely white giving it a classic expression. The curtains were made with exotic red lace, the fabric alone was worth a fortune. There were many items in the rooms, from the glass table that made the whole room appear more colorful. To the green couch placed adjacent the room, the exotics tables and the large TV screen that made it look more flashier. Seated on the couch was a middle aged woman, though there appeared some age lines on the corners of her face, the makeup she applied made her look more younger; though it didn't quite hide the age lines on her face. Her hands held the glass cup firmly, she sipped from the glass bit by bit glancing at her phone. Her manner attracted fashion, champing her lips together, she appeared more older from another point of view. Of course she could have anything she wanted with
Natasha's house boomed lousily with noise, the twins had just woken up and were getting ready for school. They were bickering at themselves over a small issue, Natasha smiled to herself as she watched them argue. Though they argued every second, the bond and love the twins shared was more than enough to know that they cared for each other greatly. Natasha converted her mind back to the dish she was serving, she placed them on the table. "Eat now," She said to them as she turned to leave, but Nikky grabbed her by the hand gently. "What about you, mother?" He asked tenderly, looking at her innocently. She ruffled his hair cutely, and she coaxed his head tenderly, "I wish I could, but I have work to do, eat now," She gazed at Niccy who now had her full concern on the food, she was exactly like her father, always calm but evil. And she worried for one thing, she didn't want her daughter to turn out like her father, she loved her daughter so much. She patted their head and went to
Natasha hurriedly drove to her house, in the block she leaves, she quickly changed into normal office wear. It wasn't like she wanted to look her best for him but who knew, he might even promote her for her dressing. She picked up her car keys from the table and her phone, she quickly texted her brother and left for the office where she worked. ** After twenty minutes, she arrived at the office, she gazed around trying not to catch anyone's attention. She quickly went up the elevator to his office, she stared at the door of his office and breathed a sigh before she came in looking beautiful. Alec, who was busy with his laptop, had no idea that a woman was in his office. He had a stoic expression as he gazed at his laptop. "Umm…Sir…" She felt kinda uncomfortable as she started the discussion. Only then did he turn to gaze at her, he arranged his documents and looked at her strangely. "Cindy? Why are you late?" His tone was fearful, making her almost lose her balance. She tried
"What's going on here?" Alec overbearing tone sounded and the next minute, Haylee was acting like the innocent one. She placed her arm over her chest, and her eyes darted around. "Alec darling, can you believe your incompetent assistant? she is trying to kill me." Fake tears moistened all around her eyes. She placed her arm over her chest acting like the innocent one. His eyes landed at Natasha who already had a nervous expression and to Haylee who had a mischievous smile on her face. Slowly, he walked up to Natasha, he noticed her arm. Gently, he grabbed it. "What happened?" His words seemed to have made Natasha gulp down her spit. "Oh it is nothing." She tried smiling but her conscience pricked at her. She wanted to yell at him that it was his damn wife who got coffee spilled all around her body. Wait a minute, wasn't Haylee his wife? Alec sighed for a brief minute, he knew it was the work of Haylee, but it was better not to cause any trouble. "You are back from abroad?" His
