The Interview

Chapter two

The Interview.

Emily checked her phone as the taxi, which has been booked by Rosie, to take her to the venue of the interview has not yet arrived.

She glanced at her wrist watch“It's 9:45 am, and she barely had 15 minutes or she was going to be late.

Her ride finally arrived. A sense of relief flowed through her as the car stopped in front of her, beeping out loud.

“ Oh, my goodness. What took you so long” She yelled at the driver, obviously getting impatient.

“ It's took me a while to locate here, ma. I am so sorry for the delay”

“ Hurry up, I have an interview today, and I can't be late seeing you have succeeded in taking a bit of my time”.

He drove away rathar fast, seeing how anxious she was that in not less than 10 minutes, he dropped Emily at the industrial estate where Glams Enterprises was situated.

Emily had anxiety written all over her face as she walked into the main building. She used the elevator to hurry the process. She clutched tightly to her bag, breathing deeply as she tried to organise herself. She wasn't looking when she accidently bumped into a tall, fair, well-built, and handsome man.

“I am so sorry, I wasn't looking at all” Emily gasped in exasperation.

He looked at her sternly and pushed her slightly away from him. “You better watch where you are going next time, clumsy little one” He said coldly.

Emily ignored him. He is not a gentleman, and how can he be when he obviously looks this good and definitely will have a lot of girls dying to be with him.

Emily tried to get him off her mind. She had a big day, and she shouldn't be here worrying about a man she had just met at the elevator a while ago.

She hoped her boss wouldn't be mean as some wealthy and successful people obviously are.

Coming down from the elevator, she walked down to the table and approached the front desk. A lady was sitting down busy operating her system.

“I am here to meet the C.E.O of Glams for my scheduled interview” Emily spoke to the secretary. She raised her head as soon as she heard the voice.

“ It is your first day of work, and you come late. What's wrong with you? The boss doesn't condone lateness” she said

“ I know, I am sorry, I had a little bit of delay this morning”

“ Whatever, you can go in now. The boss has been waiting for you in his office”

“ He wants to see you right now”

A little relief as she walked in to meet with her new boss. She gasped in shock seeing the man who called her clumsy little girl just now at the elevator sitting down and facing her.

“You are the girl from the elevator this morning”

“Yes,um it is me”

“I didn't realise that you are….” She stammered.

“That I will be your new boss, small world, you know right, you are going to be my new personal assistant manager”

“How experienced are you”

She braced up as she recalled how much she wanted this job.

“ It is your first day, and I must say I am not impressed at all”.

“I did all the interviews, and I was your best choice, I need you to just give me a chance” she pleaded.

“Don't stress it,I can see worry all over your face, just don't make the mistake of coming in late again”.

“Okay sir, It won't happen again”.

“ Drop the sir, Liam is fine”

“Alright sir, what do I do now”

……

…………….

Coming back to meet an empty house. Rosie had finished baking and had gone out to supply the cake to her client. Emily slumped down on the couch, extremely tired after the long day at the office. A few minutes later, Rosie walked in.

“ How did it go?” Rosie asked dead seriously to hear about every detail of the interview.

“ You have no idea, you won't believe Rosie, this is the most awkward interview of my life”.

“ I ran into my new boss at the elevator, and we had the most awkward moment of the year”.

“ You won't believe that he called me a clumsy little girl, asked me to drop off the sir and call him Liam”. She sighed.

" How on earth am I supposed to call my boss by his name”.

Rosie listened attentively” I am a bit confused here. What is the issue? You certainly got the job didn’t you”. ‘ If I were in your shoes, I would have wanted to disappear as well, but let's look at the positive side of this whole incident. You got what you have always wanted, a nice job, an attractive salary”

“ You shouldn't have to bother anymore about your job hunt”. She said,

“Another thing, is he cute”.she asked curiously.

“Oh, God Rosie plss, don't even go there, he doesn't look like the kind of guy that has time for a woman and he is too serious and I don't know, maybe every guy that is kind of hard-core has a soft spot”.

“ Well, that sounds nice. It looks like you got yourself a real soap opera now”.

“ Yeah, well, I hope it doesn't take any dramatic twists. The only twists I need is the one that will make my life easier”.

“ I know, right, and I am so happy about it”.

They both hugged each other tightly.

“ You see, I told you so, I knew you were going to kick this one successfully”

“ Congratulations, Emily, as the new personal manager to Glams enterprises”.

“ You welcome”.
