I woke up to my ringing alarm. I rubbed my eyes. I have an interview today! I opened my eyes and got out of bed.
I took a quick shower and dressed in formal attire. Should I leave my hair loose or in a bun? Hmm...I will ask my uncle Paul.
"Uncle! Uncle!" I went downstairs.
"Good morning, Cait!" he wished me smiling brightly.
He is making breakfast.
"Good morning, uncle!"I wished, hugging him.
"So, what's the matter?" he asked me.
"Uncle, how should I keep my hair, down or in a bun?"I asked him.
He smiled and said, "Down. You look great that way."
"Thank you, uncle."I hugged him and ran upstairs.
"Come fast for breakfast!" he called out.
I brushed my hair and took my file and purse and ran downstairs.
Uncle was arranging food on the dining table. I sat in my chair and started eating my breakfast.
"Everything set for an interview?" the uncle asked me.
"Yes, "I replied chewing my toast.
I quickly finished my food and got up, "I will be leaving now."
"All the very best! And drive safely," he said.
I placed a kiss on his cheek and hugged him, "Thank you! And yes I will."I replied.
I went out and sat in my car and started the engine.
I reached the office and parked my car in the parking lot.
I checked the time.
I'm 10 minutes early!
I got out of my car and checked myself in the rear-view mirror.
I look good and presentable.
I went inside the office building and asked the receptionist, "Hello! I'm here for the interview."
"That's on the second floor," she replied smiling.
I took the elevator and went there came out when the lift. When I looked around I saw so many guys and girls who have come here for the job.
I sat on the couch and waiting for my turn.
I am so nervous! Will I get the job? I will! I have to be confident about this! But after I get the job how will I leave my uncle and move out? Will I be able to leave my uncle alone? Will he be able to live without me? Will I be able to live without him? But I have to leave him otherwise he will never get married and start his life. If I live with him, he will only think and care about me ignoring himself.
"Caitlin Snow!" the receptionist called my name bringing me out of my thoughts.
"That's me!"I replied.
"It's your turn," she said smiling professionally.
I nodded.
I went and knocked on the door.
"Come in." said a male voice from inside.
I took a deep breath and went inside.
"Good morning, sir!"I wished him smiling.
"Good morning! Have a seat," he said pointing to the seat on the opposite side of the chair he was sitting in.
I nodded and sat.
"Thank you. Sir, this is my resume."I said handing him my file.
"So, you are Caitlin Snow," he said and I nodded.
Then he started reading my resume.
He is handsome with brown hair and blue eyes. I can see he was amused with my resume.
Then he closed the file and cleared his throat looking at me, "Impressive resume. Your resume is the best one of all that I saw till now. But I will like to ask you some questions."
"Sure," I said smiling.
I came out of the room and sat on the couch with others. I have answered all his questions and he was happy with them. I just hope I get this job!!
Just then his secretary came to me, "Congratulations, Caitlin! You got the job! This is your appointment letter." She handed me the letter smiling. I am so shocked, just now I gave my interview and I got the job! All the other candidates who came for the interview were looking at me shocked.
I smiled and took the letter. "Thank you!"I said and hugged her.
I am so happy! I called uncle, "Hello! You got the job, right?" he said brightly before I can say anything.
I smiled and said, "Yes, I got the job!"
"I want a treat." he said and continued, "but today I will be coming late. My boss won't give me a holiday on the first day. I am so sorry, Cait."
"It's ok, uncle. We will celebrate tomorrow."I said hiding my disappointment.
"I will really make it grand tomorrow. But, what will you do today? How will you celebrate your day? You have no friends." he said. I can sense the sadness in his voice.
"It's ok, uncle. I don't know anybody here, so what, I will just go and sit in a cafe and enjoy myself."I said.
"Will you be ok by yourself?" he asked concerned.
"I will be fine; don't worry about me, "I assured him.
"Ok. Bye, Cait. I have to go." he said.
"Bye, uncle, "I said hanging up the call and sighed.
"You are new in this town?" a female voice asked me. I looked around and saw the secretary. I nodded in a yes.
"Then you don't have any friends here?" she asked.
"No. I don't."I replied.
"You have a friend who has some friends so, that means you have few friends here," she said smiling.
I gave her a confused look.
She smiled, "Hi! I'm Shelly. Your new friend." she said and stretched her hand.
I smiled and shook hands with her.
Shelly is very nice and sweet. She introduced me to her friends and we all planned to meet in the evening after office hours.
The whole day I was busy talking to my old friends and told them that I got a job and about this new place and about my new car. They were all happy for me. I really miss my old friends right now.
But at least I made some new ones and I can go out with them. I checked the time, their office time is about to end.
I got ready and came to the restaurant with my new friends to celebrate.
"And that day I came to know that he didn't like me but him, "Shelly said and we all laughed. We were having fun. I am so happy. They are so nice and friendly. Shelly, Rosy, Iris, and Elena.
"I will just come from the restroom."I excused myself.
I went to the restroom and was walking towards my table when someone grabbed my wrist.
I turned around and saw him standing there glaring at me. Today he is wearing a black suit. He looks professional, kind of rich. But... What does he want from me?
I looked at him surprised. And he kept glaring at me angrily. I glared back.
I looked at him, what does he want from me? Then his words rang in my ears, "You will have to pay for this." I shook my wrist out of his grip, "What do you want?" "You know what happened because of you?" he said angrily. I rolled my eyes. As if I care. He grabbed me by my hand and continued, "You know, because of you I failed to stop my girlfriend from leaving. It took me so much time to convince her to meet me and because of what you did inside the restaurant made me angry and so she went away and because of what you did in the parking lot I failed to go after her to stop her." I can see the anger in his eyes. I shook his hands off me and laughed, "You had a girlfriend? Really? No wonder she left you, your behavior is so rude." "Anyways this doesn't concern me and it was your fault in the first place, "I added and turned around to leave when he tried to grab my shoulder but m
I looked at the watch then at him. He is glaring at me. I bit my lower lip nervously. I don't know what I should do.I quickly went and picked up the watch when he suddenly snatched it away from my hand, angrily.He looked at the watch and hissed with anger in his voice, "You broke my watch!"All I can say was, "Sorry! I'm really really sorry! I didn't do it on purpose!"He continued glaring at me. It seems like he can kill me just by his dreadful glare.Why is he overreacting for just a watch? Maybe it's special for him like my watch is special for me.This thought made me more tensed."I will repair it! I will pay for the repair!"I said nervously.He is now looking at me as if I just told him a joke.Then he started laughing.I gave him a confused look.He stopped laughing and said, "Can you?""Yes, I
Repairing the watch will cost 100K US dollars!!! Just repairing!!! Maybe I overheard. This can't be true. It's just a watch!!!! "WHAT??? But it's just a watch."I said shocked. "Shhh...Don't shout. You are too loud." the owner of the watch said. I didn't realize that I was too loud. "It's an A. Lange & Sohne's Grand Complication, limited edition watch. And the cost of this watch is 2.3 million dollars. So, repairing will cost this much." this rude and extra rich guy said smiling and then continued, "So, how are you going to pay? Cash or credit card?" My blood drained from my face. How am I gonna pay this much? I am struggling to find words to speak. Why did I even bump into him in the first place? Why??? At last, I found myself saying, "I will pay a small amount every month. I got a job today. So, it will take me some time to pay you back."
He took my watch, my precious watch. I am back to my home, on my bed. I don't know how I came here. I was so shocked by my watch gone that I only thought about my watch and nothing else.That watch means everything to me, I have to get that watch back no matter what.Tears kept rolling down my cheeks. I have to get it back!!I had it since I was five and have kept it with me since then.Flashback :"I too wanna go with you, please dad, please mom."I cried"Daisy, let's take her with us. Look at her, I can't see my daughter crying like that." dad said picking me up in his arms."No. Henry, just go and celebrate your wedding anniversary with Daisy. Don't worry about Cait, I am here with her." uncle Paul said taking me in his arms from dad."Baby, we will be back soon." dad said kissing me.Then h
I hurried downstairs with my file."Good morning, Cait!" uncle wished me smiling."Good morning, uncle!"I wished him back."Come, let's have breakfast. I have made your favourite, pasta," he said smiling."Uncle, I am not hungry," I said looking down."Cait..." he was saying when I interrupted him, "Uncle, I should hurry and go. This is the last interview and I am so nervous about it."He sighed and came to me, "Cait, this job is not up to your qualification. Why do you need to do a job now? You can wait for the perfect job and take it. Till then I am here." he said seriously.I have been giving interviews for about two weeks but did not get a single job and today is the last interview for a personal secretary. I have to soon pay Ronnie my first instalment. And I can't tell uncle about it. I really need a job!"Uncle, I want to do a job so that I get some experience. That'
He wants me to become his personal slave. What does he think of himself? His slave??? What should I do?? He won't give me the secretary job if I don't agree to be his slave. And I really need a job right now. He is making me angry."You lost your job..." he said bringing me out of my thoughts. I looked at him confused about how he knew this, he continued, "And you won't be getting any job, no matter how much you try, how many interviews you give."Why is he saying this? How does he know that I lost my job? How can he be sure that I won't get any other job? Did he???I looked at him narrowing my eyes. On seeing my reaction he said trying to hide his smile, "Yes. You guessed it right. It was me behind you losing your job and I will make sure you don't get any other job."I am so angry right now that I don't know what I will do to him. I took a deep breath trying to calm myself down.
"Move out!!!! What do you mean, move out?"Uncle asked surprised."Uncle, I'm his personal secretary so he gave me a new house." I said keeping my clothes in my bag.I am packing my bags and uncle is standing at the door of my room, tensed."But...."uncle was saying when I interrupted him, "Uncle, I will be fine. And I already thought about moving out after getting a job.""I know, but it's too soon. We just moved to this town, you just got a job and you are moving out. How will you live alone?" he said worriedly.I walked towards him, "Uncle, I am a grown-up now. I can live by myself and when will I learn to live on my own. Uncle, please don't worry. I will be fine. Really. And, if I need your help I will call you."I said assuring him."Ok. But you will call me whenever you need me. Promise me." he said."Yes, uncle, I promise. Now cheer up."I said smiling and hugged him.
Where should I start my work??Ok. I stood up on my feet and made a bun of my hair. I will start my work by removing the white sheets from all the furniture.Then, I started dusting the whole house. It took me five hours to finish this.Why did he buy such a big house just for two people? He is such an idiot. He could have bought a house with just two rooms, a hall, and a kitchen. Who told him to buy such a big house with four bedrooms, a hall, and a kitchen? Because of that idiot, I have to clean this big house. Spoiled rich brat!All this work has made me hungry. I sat on the clean couch and took out my cell phone from my pocket. I will order a pizza."Wow...that was yummy." I said to myself eating the last bite."Ok. Let's continue the work that stupid Ronnie gave me."I said and got up.I arranged all the bedrooms and hall. Four rooms??? Who buys a house wi
