Chapter two
Hazel
I remembered I haven't pressed my floor on the button so I quickly did that, he didn't move but I sensed he followed me with his eyes which seems to be the only moving part in his body. I slowly retreated to where I stood before, clutching onto my handbag, I made to lick my lips again but stopped, when I remembered my lip gloss once more.
From the corner of my eye, I watched my companion, he seems not to be a talker but I am which you already know with how I have been bugging you here, sorry.
"Hi" I made my attempt in making a conversation, "are you here for the interview too?" His eyebrows furrowed as he now turned his head fully to my view, giving me a chance to study that perfect face, his nose was pointed, his eyebrows were dark like his hair and in a beautiful shape, his lips a thin straight line but damn, still looks attracting, his face was smooth, almost like a baby's and I really wanted to touch it, let me just cut it short, he looked like he was carved by the gods themselves.
"Yes" a deep voice resounded in the elevator and it took me nearly a minute to realize that he was the one that spoke and another minute to figure out he was answering my question.
"I see, whose secretary do you think they are looking for anywhere?" I asked, grateful to already find an ally to gossip with.
"I think it's for Dave Williams" he replied, I didn't miss the look of amusement in his deep brown eyes but I can't figure what was amusing him so I let it go.
"I see. So you want to be his secretary?" I ask.
"No I'm not interviewing as a secretary."
"Really, as what then, I thought it was only secretary that was written on the form" I creased my brows, thinking hard to know if I had missed that detail.
"I filled a different form."
"Oh, what then?" I was elated I didn't miss any detail, rather it was a different form.
"As an assistant."
"For Dave Williams too?"
"Yes."
I nodded, looking at the elevator timer and knowing it would soon be my floor so I turned to him and stretched my hand to him with a smile, "I will wish you luck, I hope you get the job, I hope I do too because I have been dreaming my whole life to work here."
He took my hand after a second thought and it was the strongest yet the softest hand I have ever touched, "I wish you luck too."
I smiled, gladly accepting his good wishes, "I'm Hazel, I hope to see you around."
"Nice meeting you Hazel" I waited for him to tell me his name but too late, the elevator opened on my floor and I released his hand, smiling before muttering goodbye when I noticed he wasn't getting out with me, he is going for a different interview so I shouldn't be expecting my floor to be the same with his. I felt his eyes on me as I walk but when I turned, the doors has already closed so I shrugged and made my way to the conference room where I almost fainted with the number of people sitting there to be interviewed and God help me, I picked number one hundred and seven. Can this day be any more worse? This is why you should always go early for an interview.
After an agonizing two hours, it finally reached my turn, I stood up immediately at the mention of my number, note, number not name and entered when the bright blonde lady who had introduced herself earlier as Nicole opened the door for me to enter, there wasn't anybody in there to my surprise, that was when I figured, Nicole would be the interviewee too.
Just as she was ready to attend to me, her phone rang and she excused herself to answer while I sat like a person waiting for the judgment, but this judgment I must pass.
"Well Ms. Moor, I don't know if I should say luck is on your side or curse, Mr. Williams wish to interview you himself" Nicole said after taking her call.
What?
Double what??
Triple... In fact, a thousand whats!!
What does she mean want to interview me himself, why me, why on my turn?
"We will just give him a few minutes to join us" she continued like she hadn't dropped a bombshell on me.
"Okay" I squeezed out, not wanting to show my fear or the flip flop of my insides. I'm going to be interviewed by Dave Williams!
But hey, look on the bright side, I get to meet him, even if I don't get the job I get to see him for real then I will now judge if he is as ugly as the people say.
Thinking of my gain with the meeting, I started calming down, it will be a win win, I told myself.
After ten minutes, the door opened and in walked a man, I had my head bowed, not knowing the facial expression I should face the big Mr. Dave Williams with, "good morning sir" I heard Nicole greet and waited to hear a man's reply but nothing. I slowly lift up my head, prepared to see an ugly beast, you know, like beauty and the beast, but what I saw, neither my eyes nor my mind was prepared for it.
I looked up to see my handsome black devil, a playful smirk was playing on his lips as he noticed my shock, his deep brown eyes filled with amusement, what the fuck? I couldn't find my voice, in fact, my brain doesn't remember how to form words for my mouth to speak.
"Ms. Moor, this is Mr. Dave Williams" Nicole introduced and I just wanted to faint right then and die when he stretched out his hand to me.
"Pleasure to meet you Ms. Moor" he smiled, his eyes definitely laughing at me with the way it was sparkling, just tell me, can this day get any worse?
Chapter threeDave I had a fight with my father this morning, like I always do almost every morning, it became a habit that made me stop visiting him and his so called wife. I wouldn't have gone there if he hadn't phoned me this morning asking me to come over, now here I am, boiling in anger only to discover that some nincompoop has parked his car in a space reserved specially for me, I don't know if he was blind or not since he didn't see the sign.My driver left to find him wherever he may be and I just sat in my car doing absolutely nothing. My mind wondered off to when my mother was still alive, I didn't have so much on my plate then and things weren't so strained between my father and I, we used to be best buddies but that ended when
Chapter fourDave Hazel took my hand but didn't look up at me neither did she shake my hand with much enthusiasm as before. I turned to Nicole who was now looking at us, "please give us the room," I saw shock in her eyes but she didn't question me and silently left the room. I turned to my chatty secretary who is now like a drenched chick, a smirk made itsway to my lips and I walked on and sat on the chief seat, "sit down Ms. Moor" she obliged but her head was bowed. I know I wanted to see her surprise but she is acting a little bit too much now and I'm not liking it, "what's wrong? You were quite chatty in the elevator.""I didn't know you were you then," she answered."I see. But it do
Chapter fiveDave “Great, see you tomorrow, Hazel,” I smiled to her and she nodded, before standing up.“I will see you off,” Nicole said to her and she nodded once more and looked at me, I flashed her a smile and she looked away before picking up her files which I just remembered I didn’t even look at and turned to leave. But that’s okay, there is absolutely nothing in that file that I can’t find out if I want to. I looked up at Nicole to see her looking at me, there was a frown on her face, obviously, she was still not convinced that I should hire Hazel without interviewing other applicants. But she doesn’t know one thing, I don’t want those applicants, I only want Hazel, there is so
Chapter sixHazel I had called my mom earlier on my way back from J&R Corp, I had reschedule my dinner with them, also I want to give them the news that I got the job, which by the way is still surprising to me. As I left the company with Nicole by my side, asking me series kinds of questions, I had tried my best to answer as professionally as I could, knowing fully well that one word from this woman is enough to take away my newly gotten job. Though with the way my black devil, who ended up being my boss, hired me, I’m not sure if I would be easily fired, well, let’s not hope on it though.I blanked out the thought that he was Dave Williams, let’s begin with the fact that he was more handsome that anyone would have thought, even better than his brother, Clark. I wonder why he never appears publicly, maybe it’s so he could scare everyone like he scared me today. Christ,
Chapter sevenHazelAs I walked down the street to the nearest ATM machine, I couldn’t help but feel like I was being watched, I turned and looked around but there was no one following me or any one that considered me of interest. I sighed and shrugged off the thought, maybe it’s just a passing feeling. I approached the ATM and there was a small queue, I stood on the line, waiting for my turn but I could still feel like someone was watching me.I looked around again and I saw a black car parked not far from me, I frowned, I don’t know if it’s just my thought but the car looked like the one I had stopped by and checked myself in front of J&R, oh come on, who am I kidding, they can’t be one person driving a car, besides, even if there is, just because I checked myself with the window doesn’t mean the owner would come tracking me down. But hold on, what if the o
Chapter eightHazelThe simple dinner that we were supposed to have, turned into a celebration after I told my family about my new job, it was so full of merriment that I had let myself loose for a while and joined in the fun. Seriously, it is always good when you have someone or family to share your happiness with. By the time I got home later in the night, Jake’s friends had left and thankfully, they managed to clean my house, at least it was better than it was when I came in that afternoon. Jake was sprawled on the couch, passed out and I ignored him and went straight to my room, I need to catch a good night sleep before starting my new job tomorrow.As I lay on my bed after showering, I heard him enter and pretended to be asleep. He climbed into bed beside him and shifted closer to me, I could feel his breath on neck but rather than be aroused, I was a little disgusted. Maybe it’s t
Chapter nineDave I saw Hazel gulped and I was surprised at my fascination at that. I let my eyes run over her body again, she looked so goddamned sexy in that suit and I could already picture myself undressing her from it. When I had seen her in front of the company, I had been shocked silly, she looked nothing like yesterday. She looked professional, and even her glasses added to the sexiness of it. I couldn’t help but wonder then if she was actually here to work for me or seduce me instead, but I would gladly accept the latter.“Not really sir, I’m just trying to abide by the rules,” she answered, not looking up to meet my eyes. I have always known that what people fears the most in me is my eyes. Sharon had boldly said it to me when she had the chance. But even though it was my most terrifying aspect, it was also my sweetest part. One of my ladies had said that one good
Chapter tenHazelI quickly rushed to warm my ass with that beautiful chair behind that massive desk that I have been told is mine, I try not to think of the comment Dave made about my ass and the tingling sensation it gave me at a particular place. I bring my face to my desk and smelled the wood, the scent of rich wood, it goes in from my nose and flushed over my body, damn, money smells good. I was still in the process of smelling my desk when I noticed a man standing in front of me and watching me. I was grateful for the fact that it wasn’t Dave; I would have died in embarrassment if he was the one that found me in this situation.But even though I was happy it wasn’t him, I was still curious about the man in front of me, he had nice curly brown hair with a red hue to it, and has this beautiful light blue eyes, I couldn’t help but wonder if it’s all the good looking men t
