STEFAN’S POV

.

“Excuse me sir, did you just say I should hire her? They have not compared her to anyone yet.” My secretary said, bulging his eyes out.

“Inform those who are applying for the same position as hers, that we have found someone for the job.” I instructed him as I kept looking at Jana.

“Alright sir.” My secretary said as he made to leave.

“Wait. What position is she applying for?” I asked, out of curiosity.

“A fashion designer and we have only one slot left.” He replied, respectfully.

“Alright. You can leave.”

I took a last look at her and then went back to my office. I was overjoyed, fate had brought back Jane to me and there was hope for me to get her back. Then I picked up the landline, then called my secretary.

“Inform her that she is to start work, tomorrow.” 

“Alright, sir.”

Then I hung up and crossed my legs, then played music. This was the first best day I have ever had since I came to the human world.

JANA’S POV

I woke up feeling ready to try out Stefan’s Design Company. I hoped that I would be able to get a job as a fashion designer, there, because it was a very good company that paid their workers well. Even their name paves way for anyone.

As I thought of Stefan’s Design company, I remembered the pervert that hugged me out of the blue, yesterday. His name was also Stefan.

“Ugh! Why did his name have to be Stefan.” I rolled my eyes as I stood up.

I was on a call yesterday and was informed that I was not given the job, so I just had a bad day all through. If I do not get a job at Stefan’s Design Company, I could kill myself, because I was just so tired of everything.

I went to the bathroom to have my bath and when I got downstairs, I made myself three slices of toast. 

Things were becoming hard for me and I needed to pay a few bills, in which one of them was the house I live in.

I was at the waiting room when I was called in to the interview room. My heart raced and I hoped to answer their questions right.

“What’s your name?” The interviewer asked as she checked my details.

“I am Melissa Lane.”

“And you are applying for what post?”

“I am applying for the post of a fashion designer.” I replied, trying not to sound intimidated.

“Well, from what I have seen in your file, you have never worked officially in a company before, and you learned by yourself. Your work which I am seeing here, doesn’t look like one which suits the taste of our company. I mean, it is a good work, but it still doesn’t suit what we are looking for.” 

As I heard that, my heart broke and I didn’t know what to say. This was my only hope and I was rejected outrightly.

“So…” She was interrupted by someone who spoke into her ears, then the person left.

Then she cleared her throat before she spoke.

“Well, there could still be room for improvement and I hope you improve even after we hire you.”

“Yes, yes, I will.” I said, excitedly, hoping that she meant they were truly going to hire me.

“Good. Congratulations, Miss Melissa, you are hired.”

“Oh, my goodness. Thank you so much. I will do my very best.” I thanked her, with tears almost rolling down my cheeks.

“It’s all thanks to the higher-ups who took interest in your work. But you have to start tomorrow.” She said, with a slight smile on her face.

“Certainly, I will.” I responded, feeling overjoyed.

After the interview, I went home in a bright mood. Now it was certain that I would be able to pay my bills. I brought out my laptop and started working on one of my designs to improve it. It took me up to four hours before I was able to complete it.

“Now, it looks much better.” I said to myself as I stretched.

Then my phone rang, it was my friend, Layla.

“Hey Layla.”

“Hi love. I just called to check in.”

“Thank you so much. Anyways, you called at a good time.” I said, excited to tell her the good news.

“Hit me on it.”

“I finally got a job and it is at one of the best fashion designing companies. Guess which company it is.” 

“Uhm… I am really bad at guessing, you know.”

“Well, it is Stefan Design Company!” I said, then laughed happily.

“Whoa! Are you for real? Oh, my goodness. How did it happen? We have to celebrate this, tonight.” She said, with a tone of excitement.

“Alright.”

At night, Layla came over to my house with beer and chicken.

“This is to celebrate your win, my dear.” Layla said, with a smile on her face.

“Yaaay. I really thought that they were going to turn me down, because of the way she was speaking at first, but then she said there was room for improvement and I should thank the higher-ups.” I said as I sipped my beer.

“Whoa… Really? Higher-ups? How did your work get to them so fast?” She asked, bulging her eyes.

“I don’t know, but I am so happy that things went right for me, today.” I said as I started chewing on my chicken.

“You are so lucky, my friend. Well, this is a new beginning, enjoy the opportunity.”

The chicken and beer I had with Layla, summed up my day and I found it hard to sleep. I kept thinking of how it would feel like to work in Stefan’s Design Company, until I fell asleep.

The next day, I made sure I got to work early and then I walked into our office and saw my colleagues who were up to five.

“Hello everyone, I am Melissa and I am the new recruit.” I greeted everyone with a bright smile on my face.

I was ready to start a bright journey in this company.
