[ Denise's POV ]
I snapped out of my silly thought, immediately I realized I was drooling over him. This was not the kind of person I was, I never got swayed by a man's handsomeness."Snapped out of it Denise, you can't be swayed by his looks and moreover you have a boyfriend" I said to myself, waving off the thought that he was indeed so handsome."Why did you do that to my car?" His husky voice asked and I must confess that his voice is the sweetest thing I have ever heard. Despite having a husky voice it was so charming."What's wrong with Denise? This was not why you hit his car. You made him stop to apologize, right? So do it" My subconscious mind said.I cleared my throat and looks at the broad chest man standing in front of me and I could see him looking at me with so much indignation in his eyes, but who cares, I should be the one getting angry not him."You should apologize," I said, trying to make sure my eyes met with his, since he was way taller than me."Apologize for what?" He asked.Is he trying to tell me he don't know what he did or is he just feigning not to know? I clenched my fist trying to hold my anger."Look over there, you ran over my bicycle, you should apologize for having a part of it broken" I said, hoping he'll apologized so we can both go our separate ways.But what he said next provoked me and I regretted admiring his handsome face."You call that a bicycle?" He asked and snickers. "It should be thrown away or taken to the junkyard" He added, making my anger boil more, but I'm trying so hard not to punch his face right now."To you my bicycle might belong to the junkyard, but it means everything to me. So apologize for what you did and let's go our separate ways" I said."Over my dead body" He said with a serious look on his face which meant he was dead serious about not apologizing to me."And why won't you apologize. You're the one who is wrong here" I said. I'm respecting the fact that he's older than me, if not a few punches in his face would have done the talking."And why should I apologize to a commoner like you? The road is not a parking spot for your junk bicycle, and you're so lucky a single scratch didn't appear on my car, else you will have been in jail" He said.I looked at him and I could tell he wasn't the kind of man to mess with. I'm poor and he's rich and he can easily send me to jail with his money.I took in a deep breath and decided to just walk away since I have an interview to go to. I was about to go to where my bicycle was, when he puked something out from his mouth."Your mom is useless birthing an idiot like you" He said. And the word he said ignited so much anger inside of me. It would have been better if he only called me names, but this arrogant man had to insult mom, who I don't joke with.I turned to face him, with so much Indignation inside of me. A few kicks will teach him a lesson, I thought and with that I landed my foot on his face and that sent him falling to the ground."Are you crazy!!!" He shouted at him. He was indeed surprised that I kicked his face. I could see the blood on his side lip, due to the kick I gave him, but he totally deserves it for insulting my mom."That's what you get for insulting my mom who is so precious to me. If your face and lips hurt so much then you can charge me to court, because I'll be waiting" I said fearlessly.I picked up my bicycle, hopped on it and continued my ride to Starlight food company. It was difficult to ride with it because the handle of my bicycle was broken, but I still managed to ride with it.And thinking about what I did to that arrogant man I smiled. No one dares insult my mom and walks freely. I can take all the insults you throw at me, but not my mom.I successfully arrived at Starlight food company and just looking at the skyscraper building made me smile.I may not know the face of Mavis. C. Brown, but I kind of admire him for being the CEO of such a huge food company, which is the most popular company in America.I parked my bicycle in the parking lot and I entered inside the huge building, and it was so beautiful just like it was outside, or should I say more beautiful.I could see different staff working inside the building. They were all dressed neatly and expensive and it made me wonder if all the employees were rich.But nevertheless, I heave a sign, happy that I will finally get to work here and I couldn't wait to see the chefs."How may I help you?" Someone asked behind me. I turned to look at the person that just spoke to me and I saw a man probably in his late 30's standing, beaming a smile at me.He was dressed in a neat ironed suit, his hair was neatly styled, he has a chin curtain beard that suits him so well."Good morning Mr, I'm here for the interview," I answered."Are you the one that applied for the Job interview?" He asked."Yes that's me" I answered with a smile, guess I'm the only one who applied for the job."I was the one who went through your application but I won't be the one to interview you" He said and I wondered who will be the interviewer, and as if he read my thought, he said;"That will be the CEO of this company. Come with me" He said, and without wasting a time, I followed him while admiring how beautiful the company was."No wonder Mavis. C. Brown is a CEO and a billionaire" I thought to myself seeing how the company was lavished with money.We entered a big office that was painted all white. It was extremely beautiful. The interior designer must be an expert in the world of designing, I thought."The CEO of Starlight food company will soon be here" He said and I nodded my head."Can I sit?" I asked because I didn't want to get anyone angry, which would result in me failing the interview."Yes can" He replied, flashing a smile at me and I returned the smile, before sitting in one of the chairs that worth thousands of dollars.I sat patiently while waiting for the CEO of Starlight food company. The man who asked me to sit was going through some documents and I couldn't wait to get this interview done and dusted."Is she here already?" A voice asked entering inside the office. I furrowed my brows, because the voice sounds familiar.I turned my head to look at the face of the man whose voice sounded familiar to me and I gasped in shock when I saw his face.In fact my heart left my body instantly. The CEO of Starlight food company turns out to be the same man I met just few minutes ago on my way here.[ Denise's POV ]I almost felt like peeing on panties when I saw his face. My heart was beating rapidly and he made matter worse by staying calm and just looking at me.How was I supposed to know that he is Mavis. C . Brown, the CEO of the company I desperately needed to work for.If he hasn't called my mom useless I won't have kicked his face. The bruise on his face and lip were still there. "Did I kick him so hard?" I thought within me."Why is he not saying anything?" I asked myself crimping my hands against the other. Balls of sweat occupied my face despite the working aircon inside the office.I wasn't afraid of him, I was just afraid of not having the opportunity to work here. This will really helped I and my family a lot, and I remembered promising my sister that I was going to treat her out if by chance I pass the interview."Will I passed the interview despite what I did to this man earlier?" I asked myself again."Ethan" Mavis finally spoke. I guess Ethan is the name of the
[ Denise's POV ]The wheels of my bicycle made a lot of noise as I walked down the street with it. I had a frown on my face because of my encounter with Mavis.I stopped my bicycle and puffed out an air from my mouth, remembering what transpired between us in his office."Did you just flip me over your shoulder and punch me?" He asked angrily after he got back to his feet.I walked closer to him with so much anger boiling inside me. "You should be thankful I didn't cut off those hands of yours!!" I said, raising my voice at him."You must think I'm one of those desperate women who throw themselves at you, sorry to burst your bubble Mr. CEO, but I'm not one of your sluts. I would rather remain jobless for the rest of my remaining days on earth than sell my body to you!!" I shouted at him again.My body was something I don't joke with. I hate it when anyone from the opposite sex tries to touch my body, even my boyfriend Jake hasn't touched me ever since we started dating because I made
[ Denise's POV ]I sat down on the floor of Bella's living room, enjoying the sandwiches and a cold pineapple juice given to me by Bella.Unlike me, Bella has a complete family, she has her dad, her mom and a big brother who is working in Singapore, and sends money home from time to time.And sometimes I wish I had a big brother, maybe if I had one, life won't have been difficult for my family and I, but Bella never forgets to give some part of the money her brother sent for her.Not like I forced her to, she always willingly gives me half of it, and being in need of money I always accepted the money she gave me.I finished the sandwiches I was eating and smiled with satisfaction, because I was full already. "Are you done eating?" Bella asked sitting close to me right there on the floor and I nodded my head smiling."So how did your interview go?" She asked. She was indeed waiting for me to finish eating, so she could ask me about how my interview went.I didn't know where to start f
When I saw it was Jake calling, I didn't hesitate to pick the call. I swipe the green button of my phone and place the phone in my ear, grinning."Hello Denise" He said and listening to his voice made me smile. "Hi Jake" I said with a blushing smile, and Bella, whose eyes were fixed on the TV, looked at me immediately I mentioned Jake's name."Where are you?" He asked me. "I'm at Bella's place" I answered him, still having this blushing smile on my face, only the heavens can testify how much I love Jake and I know he loves me just the same. "Can we meet up, I missed you" He said and that made my heart jump for joy. "Sure. Where do you want us to meet?" I asked him."At the usual Restaurant we always eat at, I'll be waiting for you," He said and ended the call, and after he disconnected the call, I faced Bella with a smile."I'm meeting up with Jake," I said to her, but she gave me a plain look and continued watching Kendell Jenner on TV.Bella doesn't actually like Jake, I don't know
[ Denise's POV ]I was about answering the lady on the phone when Jake took the phone from behind me. "Why did you answer my phone?" He asked, looking angry."Who was she? And why did she say she missed you?" I asked and I could feel my heart getting hurt. I love Jake so much and is really going to hurt me if he's cheating on me."You shouldn't have answered my phone Denise," He said."I know it is wrong for me to have answered your phone, but who is she? Why is she saying she missed you?" I asked, expecting him to give me answers.Jake sat back in his seat and I waited patiently for him to tell me who the lady on the phone earlier was."She is my cousin" Jake answers, but I needed more explanation. "Your cousin? But she didn't sound as if she was your cousin. The lady on the phone just now said she missed you" I said as my eyes became wet.I'm easily prone too tears. If something hurts me, it always makes me cry and that's why I can't hold back my tears after hearing another lady say
[Mavis Pov]I halted my Mercedes Benz in my garage and came out of the car, heading to my mansion. I entered the house and the quietness of the mansion welcomed me.I might be a CEO and billionaire, but I'm not a stan of harboring maids or bodyguards to work for me. I'm the CEO of one of the most popular food companies in America, so I don't need anyone to cook for me when I know how to prepare thousands of dishes.I can protect myself and drive myself to my destination, so there wasn't any need of having a driver or bodyguards. I just have a personal assistant and that's Ethan Jones.I hired him to become my personal assistant, because I need suggestions from him when dealing with clients and I kind of like him because he's smart and loyal to me.I entered my room, which was three times bigger than the usual length of a normal room. Every corner of my mansion was painted White because the color White, is my favorite.After having my showers and putting on my pajamas, I stood in the
[ Mavis's POV ] I arrived at my dad's mansion and just before I got down from my car, my mom ran out of the house. "My son," She exclaimed excitedly, hugging me.I smiled hugging her back, I indeed miss her a lot. If not for my dad, I won't mind dropping by to see her. I have told her countless times to come live with me, but my mom always disagrees with me."I can't leave my husband's house when he is still alive. it is your obligation as my son to always come see me" She would say anytime I brought up the idea of her staying with me.My dad and I might not be in a good relationship as father and son, but I can tell he loves my mom so much, he takes care of her and always spoils her with lots of good things.Despite being in their late 50's and 60's, both were very much in love with each other, this is the reason why my mom refused to leave her husband, just to live with me.I used to be close to my dad during the times I was growing up, we normally chit chat and laugh like father
[ Mavis's POV ]I remained where I was standing, not moving an inch from it, looking at dad and Jake hatefully. If looks could kill, they'd be dead by now.Apart from my dad, Jake Brown was the second human being on earth I hated the most and it sucks because we both bear the same surname.His late father was my dad's younger brother, and that made us cousins bearing the same Surname. I hated Jake because my father favors so much and always compared Jake to me.Jake typically does everything my dad tells him to do, including being a lawyer. To my dad I was the rebellious son, while Jake was the pure definition of a perfect son."Mavis, I didn't know you were coming" Jake said with a smile and I returned his smile with a glare. Jake has a condo he stays in, but he spends most of the time in my dad's mansion."Are you just going to stand there without saying hi to your dad?" My dad asked and I shot him a hateful glare.I couldn't stand the sight of my dad and Jake, so I decided to leave
