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's it!"I said trying to convince him.
"Ok, Cait. Then just eat something and then go," he said pointing to the food on the table.
"Uncle, I am not hungry. Really. I will eat something at the cafe. Please, uncle, let me go."I said with my innocent face.
"Ok. But you will eat and won't get sad no matter what is the result of the interview," he said.
"Yes, uncle. Promise."I said hugging him and placing a kiss on his cheek.
Then his gaze went to my wrist, he looked at me and asked, "Cait, where is your watch?"
What should I tell him now? I knew that he will ask me this when he notices my empty wrist, and so there is his question.
"That...its battery is dead so...."I lied.
"Oh..that's the reason you are not wearing your lucky watch. Give it to me, I will get a new battery for it while coming back from the office." he said.
"Noooo...I mean, you don't have to worry about it I will get it fixed."I said, and continued, "Uncle, I should go now. Can I go?"
"Ok. All the best," he said smiling. "Thank you, uncle. Bye."I said and hugged him.
I hurried to my car and went straight to the office. I am so nervous. This is the last interview. If I don't get a job here then I don't know what I will do. I have to get this job no matter what.
"Hello! I am here for the interview."I said to the receptionist.
"Your name, please?" she asked with a professional smile.
"Caitlin Snow, "I said with a week smile.
"You can go in. Sir is waiting for you," she said and signalled a woman standing a few feet away.
Waiting for me???? I am not late, am I??? Oh no, what should I do???
She came and said, "This way, please." I looked at her and she smiled at me.
Then I followed her to the lift, we went to the top floor.
There was no one there for the interview. Am I early or late?? Now, this is making me more nervous!!
"There's no one here for the interview?"I asked her tensely.
"Oh. That...Sir told everyone to go away just by hearing their names. Maybe you can get the job, he mentioned that he will only meet with a girl named Caitlin. So, I think you got the job. All the best. Just go in." she said pointing to the door.
I went near the door confused. What does this mean? Did he tell everyone else but why? Does he want to meet only to the girl named Caitlin? What is this? Does he know me?
I took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
"Come in."Someone said from inside.
I went in. I want to know who is he, but he was standing with his back to me.
"Sit down," he said.
This voice seems familiar. I sat on the chair looking at him.
"This is my resume." I said keeping my file on the table.
"Your name?" he asked still with his back to me.
"Caitlin Snow "I replied confused.
"You got the job. Congratulations!" he said still not turning around.
"What???"I said out loud.
How can I get the job? He didn't ask anything nor did he see my resume. Who is he?
He laughed out loud and turned around to see my expression.
Why is he laughing?
When I saw who he was I realised who he is. The shock was the only thing I can feel. Then, I got nervous for a reason.
"Hello! Caitlin Snow! We meet again." he said with a smirk.
"Ronnie!!!"My voice was just a whisper.
What is this? He is my boss? I am going to be his personal secretary????? Hell no!!!!!
"Water?" he asked me with an amused smile.
I nodded and he handed me the glass. I drank in a go. It's really shocking and hard to wrap all these thoughts around my head.
"Who are you?"I asked, my voice just a whisper.
"You don't know my full name?? Never mind. I am Ronnie Raymond. The owner of this company. The heir of the biggest and largest businesses empire." he said with a smirk.
He is the owner of this company??? It means...he is my new boss??? This is more than shocking. I drank the remaining water left in the glass.
"So, you are going to be my new boss?"I asked when I finally got my voice back.
"Yes. But, on one condition," he said.
This is making me nervous! He has a condition!
"And what is it?"I asked nervously.
"You will have to become my personal slave too," he said with a smirk.
WHAT???????
HIS SLAVE??????
HELL NO??????
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
"Master, your coffee." I said knocking on his bedroom door."Master!!""Wait for me at the dining table. And stop knocking on my door." he said irritated from inside in a sleepy voice.I sighed and went to the dining table. I sat in a chair keeping the coffee mug on the table.I woke up at six as he said even when I slept at one in the night because of that stupid Ronnie. I feel so sleepy. It was really hard for me to open my eyes and get out of the bed to make a coffee for him.When will he come?I sighed irritated and kept my head on the table. My eyes are closing. I can't keep my eyes open anymore. And before I knew I fell asleep."Hey!!" someone said.I really don't know why this irritating voice keeps bugging and interfering in my sleep."Hey! Slave! Wake up!" he said irritated.It's his voice. That stupid...Ronnie's.O
I said that out loud again. What should I say now?"Ummm...I have some work so, I will leave now."I said and turned around to leave."Work? Who gave you that work?" he asked and I turned to face him nervously.What should I say? I am speechless.Seeing me speechless he said, "You are my personal secretary. And I am your boss, then who can give you work?"That's right. He is my boss. And only he can give me work."So, now that it's clear that you don't have any work, tell me what's yours?" he asked me."Ummm...that..."I was hesitating as to what to say.Seeing my hesitation he said losing his patience, "Miss. Snow, please answer my question. I don't like to wait for answers."I took a deep breath and said in a flow, "You didn't drink the coffee that I brought previously and I gave them to all your staff. And so
"I'm home." I said getting in the house.He was sitting on the couch with his laptop open. He didn't say anything, well I was expecting that.I am so glad that I didn't get lost or anything, this place is really new to me.Should I ask him if he wants anything? I will just ask him, otherwise, he will get one more chance to taunt or point out my mistakes."Do you need anything, master?"I asked him."Nope." he said and I turned to go to the kitchen when he said, "But I am surprised that you didn't get lost."He was hoping for me to get lost?? As expected of him.I turned to look at him irritated."You were hoping for me to get lost, right? Don't worry I will take care of myself till I pay you back and get my watch back."I answered him back irritated."Very well. That's a good thing to know. I am impressed with your sincerity, slave." he said and smirked.I gave
I am so nervous. What will he say? Will he let me call my uncle to dinner and be out of the house? What if he says no???? What will I do??? I should just ask him at once.I knocked on his cabin door and went in."Sir, files." I said keeping the files on the table. He nodded and checked the files.How should I ask him? Will he say yes?On seeing me still standing he asked, "Do you have anything to say?"I looked at him surprised."You are standing here so I guess you have something to say. If you have anything to say, then say it fast, I don't have the whole day." he said and took one of the files to read.I took a deep breath."Ummm...that...ummm..." I am so nervous.He looked at me and said cocking his head to one side, "I don't know the language you are using. Speak in clear English."I am so nervous and he is making fun of me. H
He is here...that Ronnie who said he won't come home today is here. So, he is not the kind of person who sticks to his words."Hello, Miss. Snow! I hope I am not late for the dinner."Ronnie said smiling."Here...I thought about what to bring and so I brought flowers. You can keep it in the vases." he said giving me flowers.So, he is ordering me to keep the flowers in the vases.I gave him a look taking the flowers."So, you won't introduce us?" he asked."Oh..sorry I forgot." I said trying to keep myself calm."This is my uncle Paul. And uncle, this is my boss, Ronnie."I introduced them to each other.And they shook hands."I have to go to the kitchen." I said and left the hall angrily, making sure uncle don't see me angry."Hey!! Cait, you didn't tell me that you invited your boss too." uncle asked me."Ohh...that I forgot. I was too ex
