Just A Contract

KAIRA

I stood in front of my three daughters who were standing in front of me pulling my dress, they don't want me to go out and I stare at my son who was laying weak in his cradle, he has lost lot of weight and is already looking skinny, he has a congenital heart disease , he needs urgent attention and care. I stare at my son with tears dripping down my face.

I bend to kiss them and whisper to them, " "Wish mommy luck so that we can save Sam life"

I said with tears dripping down my face as I stare at Sam and how much he has lost weight.

I kiss Sam too and stare at him for a while and said to him.

" Wish mommy good luck, so that we can go for your surgery" I said and the woman helping at the orphanage embraces me.

" Goodluck" I said.

I know they are just two years old but they can see how much I struggle to take good care of them.

I quickly dry my tears and kiss them again on their cheek.

I turn to the woman who takes care of the orphanage home where I and my kids currently stays because I have no house for now because I couldn't afford to pay for one.

I just pray I get this job because of its fat salary, if I can get this job, I am sure to pay for the surgery of my son.

I walked out of orphanage home and pick a bus going to the company.

The company is one of the biggest company in the USA, it's a company where people fight hard to work because of it's big salary.

I never thought I could get shortlisted in such company.

When I got to the company, I went straight to the receptionist and told the receptionist I got a message that I got a message that I have been shortlisted for an interview in this company.

She asked me to sit and I sit, I looked at everyone sitted waiting for their turn, they were well dressed but I wasn't.

I have worked with my dad before I got thrown out by my dad because he caught me in bed with Jeff his driver.

How it all happened is still a mystery to me, since then I have been on my own and since then I have never set my eyes on Jeff.

It's been really hard because I had no one, from my stepmom telling me I have been disowned before my dad's death to my stepsister humiliating and burning my certificates and making me going through a long and while one year plus process to retrieve back all my certificates and to my son who has a congenital heart disease since birth and to my three daughters that I have to care for and also being homeless.

It's has really been tough for me but if I can get a job in a reputable company of the world richest man, I know just a two time salary with loans will save my son.

I watch how shortlisted candidates for the interview go in and out for their interview.

I became nervous and prayed in my heart I get this job.

I looked down at how I am dressed if it is attractive enough for a PA job then I heard footsteps and people saying the boss is her.

I quickly look back to catch a glimpse of the person walking in with about eight guards.

And I was shocked at the face I saw, I looked back again and this time he turn around but I quickly look away and muttered.

" Jeff" I began to figure out in my head how he became a boss when he was my dad's driver two years ago.

I was still wondering in my head a lady came to call me for my interview.

I stood up but kept trying to look back to steal a look at Jeff.

I managed to respond to all the questions, I was asked by the HR because the only thing in my head was " Who is Jeff? If he is a boss here and the heir of the most richest man in the world, how come he worked with my dad as a driver two years ago?

After my interview, the HR told me they will get back to me.

I had so much panic that I might never get the job but at the same time my mind kept going back to Jeff on how he became a multi trillionaire.

I walk out of the company thinking of how many much secrets Jeff has that I and my dad never knew then.

JEFF.

I was going to walk into my elevator when I heard the receptionist called a familiar name.

" Kaira Cosbyn" I turn back and didn't see the face of the woman, I could only see the backside of the person.

She looked like Kaira from behind but one thing I am sure about is Kaira will never dressed that way.

The person I saw from behind wasn’t properly dressed like how Kaira would have dressed.

I flash back to how I was surprised to find myself in her bed two years ago. I remember that look on her face and how pissed she was and how she was already accusing me of taking advantage of her, I really want to explain and apologize to her that I didn’t know how I got in her bed and how it all happened.

I continue to my office, I entered into my office and sit down but something keep telling me she is the one.

I didn't want to believe she was the one, I flash back to how I had flee from her dad when we both woke up in the same bed.

How I had gotten in her bed is something I couldn't explain myself. She must be thinking I sneak into her bed and just have my way with her.

It's true I loved her back then when I first met her while working for her father back then but our backgrounds were different then, I couldn't tell her how much I loved her.

I have waited patiently maybe someday I would find her but when I tried going back to their house, I was told she no longer stay with them that she move out and never told them where she was going.

Now I am getting married to someone I don't love, someone my grandfather wants me to marry because of their friendship.

I try taking out my mind from the name but I couldn't.

I pick up my phone and dial the HR's number.

" Hello, can you send in one of the shortlisted candidates by the name , Kaira Cosbyn in? I asked.

" Sorry sir, she left a while ago after conducting the interview with her" HR said.

" Ok, can you please send in her CV's? I said.

" Yes sir" HR replied.

KAIRA.

I returned back to the orphanage and my kids run towards me. I collected Sam from one of the Volunteers in the Orphanage.

“ She had been crying for a while now and he has been throwing up for a while” the woman said.

Tears dripped down my face, I collected Sam from her and try to stop him from crying, I lay him on my chest.

I walked into the room with my kids while I share some chocolates that I had bought on my way back home to my daughters.

I walked into our room and stood thinking of what to do? I began to think of telling Jeff of the babies but I was scared of telling him.

“ What if he is now married? What if he never accepts the kids as his and sees me as an opportunist because I have been thrown out of my father’s home? What if he takes the kids away from me and I am never allowed to see them again? My heart skipped in fear.

I should take Sam to the hospital first then think of what to do.

I took Sam to the hospital and the doctor said my son has less than three months to leave.

I became scared and returned home.
