mayproceed...Kayla's POV
How dare him say that I'm unfit for the job?How dare him call me annoying?Uuhhh... What kind of man is that,thinking I'll beg him,in his wildest dreams.I will never beg him or anyone for a job,I may be poor but I know my worth.l was distracted from my thoughts as the receptionist called my name."Hey,Kayla right?"she asked.
"Yes Miss..."I trailed as I looked at her ID card"...Diane,how may I help you?"
"Umm...I just wanted to ask how the interview went..".
"I don't think I got the job,Mr Hawkins was mad at me for what happened this morning"I replied and she asked about what happened and I told her what transpired between us and she felt sorry for me.
"Well I've got to go now,my brother will soon be back from school"I said and left the building and went to get my car and drove out.Today was so not what I expected.
After I left the building I went home to tidy the house and prepare lunch for when Evans comes home from school and I realized that there isn't much supplies left so I make use of the little we have and make pasta I am not a huge fan of cooking because of the lack of time but I make very good dishes if I do say so myself.After preparing the food I pack it in a bento for Evans and I grab my purse and the house keys.I lock up the front door and tuck the key into my purse as I proceed to a supermarket nearby to buy some groceries, I reach there after few minutes of walking and I picked out some of the stuffs we needed at home and head to the counter to pay the cashier lady there.After paying her my phone starts ringing and I check it to see Noah's name flashing on the phone I pick up the phone only to hear Noah's enthusiastic voice booming from my years old phone"Hey Kaybear how ya doing"I laugh at the nickname he gave me.I always hated it and told him to stop but he refused and the name kinda stuck.
"Hey Noah I'm fine,what are you up to now you've called me"I reply knowing Noah he calls only when there is an emergency and he needs my help,he usually just texts me.Noah has been my best friend alongside Lilly,there were there for me when I needed them and was looking for a job and a place for me and Evan to stay and Noah found me and he and Lilly who was his next door neighbour in the same apartment I'm leaving in now let me say in their place for some time before I was able to get a job at a coffee shop,they helped me tutor Evan,as Lilly is a teacher,when I didn't have enough money to pay his school fees and they were the ones who persuaded me to take up this job offer at the Hawkins Corp.
"Kay what do you mean"he whines through the phone and I giggle at his childish act.
"Noah what do you want I don't have all day to spend with you"I ask and he replies quickly"Umm...can I come spend the night at your place for a while"he asks quickly.
"Why,don't you have your own place"."...Umm I've got a girl on my tail apparently she is one of my night stands and she has been on my tail for sometime and I'm tired so can I come stay with you,I promise to leave after sometime...pretty please..."Kyle is infamous for his womanizing skills,he gets a girl today he dumps her the next,this behaviour of his has constantly annoyed Lilly and I.
"Ask Lilly"I say trudging along the bags I got from the supermarket on my way.
"I already did and you know Lilly she refused even before I could complete my request, so right know you are my only choice and I'm sure you wouldn't leave your little cutie pie stranded now would ya"he says.
Noah is soo gonna be the death of me and I know I'm gonna regret saying this but...
"Okay Noah you can come over for a few days nothing more and nothing less,okay?"I had to move the phone from ear as he screams my ears off and this brings a smile on my face
"Thanks Kay love ya"he shouts before he hangs up...Noah...
Thump..."Oh my god I'm so sorry I wasn't looking where I was goi..."the rest of my words fly out as I raise my head only to see my nemesis...blue eyes.It's like the world is against me today as I just had to collide with the last person I wanted to see.
"Are you stalking me"You've got to be kidding me,he has the guts to say that.
"And why would I want to do that,huh why would I want to stalk you of all people in the entire world"I say and hiss as I attempt to leave I don't even want any trouble right now but before I could attempt to walk past him he dragged me back.
"Don't you dare walk out on me ever again Miss Highlander or you'll pay for it"he says and I secretly shiver at the tone he was using.I guess no one has ever walked out on him."You should count yourself lucky I've got somewhere to be right now and I want you in my office tommorrow morning at eight am sharp you have the job, you'll get a call very soon giving you the details and entailing you on the do's and dont's of being my PA,now I must go as I have somewhere to be"he says before leaving me very shocked,I quickly gather my things that fell when he jerked me back and hightail it out of there.As I approached my house I see light seeping through the curtains I rush in and yell"Evans are you back"and a low"Yes"could be heard from his room,that kid and his games.By now it's just past five and I start working on dinner when my phone rings from the living room and I leave the kitchen to answer it.
"Hello who is this?"I ask the unknown caller.
"Hello is this Miss Highlander?"the caller who is apparently a lady replies.
"Yeah I'm the one,why do you ask?"I ask not knowing who it is.
"Okay I call in respect of the interview you did and I'm informing you that you got the job and should be at the company by eight tomorrow morning "and she continues to tell me what to do and the rest where scheduled for when I got to the company.The call ended some minutes later and I went back to the kitchen to continue making dinner,when I'm done I call Evan to come eat.The food was eaten in silence until Evans asked about the interview and I tell him I got the job,and I ask him about school and he told me he made two new friends.After dinner Evan goes up to his room and I take care of the dishes before heading to my room having a quick shower and going to bed with an image of Mr blue eyes..
Kayla's P.O.VUgh...I groan as my arch nemesis strikes again..Alarm clock-1,Me-0...Ugh,why won't the stupid thing stop ringing.I fling my hands in an attempt to stop the ever annoying thing,but my attempt fails as I land on my butt on the hard floor.I groan and get up from the floor,grabbing the alarm clock before turning it off and grabbing my phone to check the time and I let a gasp as I realise the time is 7:47am and I've got to be at Mr Hawkins office at 8:00am.I quickly ran to the bathroom and had a quick shower and hurriedly put on my clothes before approaching Evans room only to see him not only wide awake but fully dressed too."Hey baby how are you"I ask him"Good morning Kay,I'm fine and see I got dressed myself"he says while grinning widely.I literally 'awwed' in my mi
Kayla's P.O.VThe day was spent attending to his emails,sorting them into important,unimportant or trash,making his coffee and thankfully not spilling any on him or myself, arranging his schedule and files,in short I was exhausted, my body wasn't used to such strenuous activities of going to one floor or another to drop or get a file faxed.I was very tired and it was barely my closing hour yet.I grabbed the files which needed his signature and headed to his office which was next to mine but way bigger,reaching there I took a deep breath and knocked on the door awaiting a response which didn't come.I knocked again waiting for his reply and getting none I decided to open the door and check for him.On opening the door I saw no one in the office so I decided to look around for where he could be,not seeing anyone around I proceeded to dro
Kayla's P.O.VI woke up quite early today,so I had time to tidy the house and make breakfast.The breakfast was soon done and I made a cup of coffee for myself before going to Evans room to wake him up and get him ready for school on time."Hey baby wake up it's time to get ready for school."I say while shaking him but he didn't even budge,I shake him again"Wake up Evans.""Five more minutes."he whines while turning away from me."Wake up or you are going to get to school late and won't be able to see your friends before class starts."This got him to get up and head to the bathroom to take his bath.Already finished with tidying the house I head to my room to take a long shower as I had over 45 minutes before its 9:00 am,getting rid of my clothes I hop in and grab my shower gel and rub it all over my body ridding myself of any dirt.Twenty minutes later
Kayla's POV"Miss Kayla come to my office now" he said through the intercom.Ughhh I groan and stand proceeding to his office,putting my shoes back on I knock on his door before entering."Sir you called for me"I said as he seemed to ignore my presence.After a few minutes of him clicking on his laptop,he closed it and finally acknowledged my existence"Yes I did,I called to ask if you've prepared the lunch reservation for my mum and I at the restaurant I told you to"he said to me."Yes sir the reservation is for two and it begins in an hour,I've cleared your meetings and appointments for a three hours time frame giving you enough time to discuss and have lunch with your mum"I said hurriedly not wanting to infuriate him the more as his mood seems far from pleasant."That's all you may leave"he dismissed me,nodding I left the office to mine,slouching
Liam's POVAfter dropping Kayla home,I proceeded to drive to my penthouse.Arriving there I took off all my clothes and had a long relaxing bath while thinking about the lunch with my mum.It went well,surprisingly,my mum is someone who doesn't easily associate well with people, don't get me wrong,she is nice and all but the way she just clicked and started conversing with Kayla amazed me because it normally took her a long time before she freely associated with people but apart from that I was thrilled that she has started reacting to her drugs and therapy.Wrapping myself with a towel I went to my room and dressed in a sweatpant and left my torso bare,and headed to my house office where I did my office duties if I fail to make it to the office any day,sitting down I began to sort the files Miss Kayla sent to me.Ring Ring RingPicking up the phone I see Kyle's name flashing on my screeni
Kayla's POVOhmygod!!Ohmygod!!Ohmygod!!!I'm soooo dead.All because of Noah."Noah I'm so gonna kill you,why the heck did you put off my alarm clock"I said more like yelled at him while chasing him around the house while holding a spatula,childish I know,gaining up to him I hurl the utensil at his stupid head.Bulls eye."Why the hell did you throw that thing at me!"he exclaimed,holding his head and frowning."Well you deserved that you made me late for work and trust me I would have done more damage to you but I've got to get to work before I'm fired and you will do the liberty of driving me there without complaining,do I make myself clear?"I say to him and he nods his head.Smiling at him I head to my room to hurriedly dress up,showering for about ten minutes I put on my already prepared work clothes.After fifteen minutes of dressing up and grabbing something to eat I'm
Liam's POVWHAT THE HELL IS MUM DOING HERE!!"Liam you will do no such thing just because the poor girl came late to work once you want to fire her,Liam that's cruel and unfair and I'm sure I did not train you to be this way"my mum said to me."But mum..."I said trying to reason with her before I was cut off."No buts Liam you will apologize to the poor girl"she said and I took a glance at Kayla who was at the corner,head bowed in either sadness or defeat anyways I could care less."Mum I can't and I won't do such,what do you think that is making me,mum I don't go back on my words plus she deserved it she made me lose a deal worth millions."I said hoping mum will take my side."No Liam you will apologize too her and we both know that deal doesn't even matter,the loss of the money won't put a dent in your already fat pocket"she said.I don't know why mum will be o
Kayla's POVMy heart beat was very erratic as I was very scared that I was going to lose my job,that would have been terrible because without my job,no money for Evans and the bills won't pay themselves.I'm so grateful to Mrs Denise because if not for her I would have been jobless,but what the hell is Mr Grumpy's problem,huh.always taking drastic decisions.Hmph...Sitting down on the chair out in the lobby,I wait patiently for them to be done with their talking.Frantically tapping my feet on the floor I continue waiting for them,seeing as they have been talking for about ten minutes.Sighing I continue waiting,suddenly the door to my office is opened and Denise comes out with a stony looking Mr Liam.Walking over to me I quickly stand up waiting for me to be addressed."My dear I am so sorry for my son's act I promise it won't happen again and if it does remember I'm one call away" she said to me then turning s
