CHAPTER 1

My first clue that something was wrong was an adress and also a long traffic on the road gave me second thought about going to that job interview.

I am always on time and always prepared for all my job interviews but not this one but I had no other choice I needed this job.

I was planning to arrive at an interview at least an hour early but the unexpected delays such as traffic jams,parking difficulties are some of the things I experienced along the way.

I grabbed my phone trying to call the office I am going to and let my possible employer know I will be late but network was too slow I could not even send an email.

I was following a Google map it reminded me that I needed to take a sharp turn to my right,the single long road surrounded by tall trees and I saw three graves next to the road.

I believe that road was haunted,I was scared but it got worse when an owl hits my car.

An Owl hitting a car window is a warning that the person should prepare for difficult times according to traditions.

I was already late when I reached the crest of the hill and the road was now a gravel I stopped the car and took my phone and I tried calling the number that called me earlier giving me directions to the surgery where I will be interviewed.

An administration lady picked up the phone..

Doctor Parker's surgery..

how can I help you.

i replied Good day

my name is Lynn Miller I have an interview with Dr Nathan Parker this afternoon following the directions given earlier I am now on Wishart road what should I do now?

You are on the right road turn on your map and search Upper highway tree surgeon on your map you are very close and please call me if you need anything else,she hanged up.

The road was very narrow and it was the gravel that is sharp and jagged I am worried it will destroy my standard tyrers but I also need this job so I had to keep driving and drive very slow.

when I glanced out the window out the window I saw Inkanyamba from a dam that was 10 kilometers away,According to a traditional beliefs the tornado takes form of a giant winged snake the being lives in deep water and flies through the air looking for mates which lives in a deep pool or dam.

I got really nervous I felt like I was in danger but because it was kilometers away I decided to keep driving I mean there was no other choice.

Lucky I arrived without getting lost.

It was right after a small shopping center, there's only one restaurant, one clothing shops, one for food, a gym and a pharmacy and after that pharmacy there is a board written Wishart road with an arrow pointing to my right I turned to my right, that's when I knew I am in the right place.

My thoughts became real as I was passing the first building, the view of the swimming pool with bright blue water in it,beautiful trees all around the place I could hardly see outside the yard.

The flowers,those small palms and cycads were bringing too much tropical look to the poolside garden.

I could see double story house surrounded that huge pool.

This place was a popular place for doctors conference, there are four double story houses surrounding the pool to each building the first double story is for conferences, second one is for spa for doctors to get a massage after every conference,a third one is a surgery where my interview will take place,and the fourth one is for employees they all live here to save petrol since this place is very far from their homes beautiful lake behind the yard where doctors go to play golf or just relax and just relax before and after every conference.

The expensive car's parked there Aston Martin Victor,Lamborghini Sian,Mercedes Benz,I could see that these doctor's have money.

I could imagine myself working there everyday, waking up to this beautiful place would be a dream come true.

And maybe I would even earn a bonus that is higher than my salary if that is even possible or maybe it was my crazy thoughts.

Last year I went to an interview with a travel doctor,but I did not get that job because they were looking for someone who knows at least ten languages because get visited mostly by people from different countries .this year it felt different I meet all the requirements I have a Barchelor of Public Administration,I have an experience of 3 years of working as a personal assistant for a general practitioner.

So I wasn't sure whether to go through interview questions one more time before I go inside or sit down and try to come down my nerves.

I took a minute and prayed, asking to be with me me during that interview.

I drove through a driveway to a second building with a wooden gate ,every building has its own gate but all four of them are owned by one person Doctor Parker.

A small security house stood off next to the gate stepped out a man taller than Sultan Kosën his name is Michael Jones.

He was slim,and wore a security guard hat,a white shirt,bullet proof vest,grey pants,belt and black boots.

He had the best smile, with hazel eyes I'd never seen.

He was holding a silver key,he walked to the driver's side,and knocked on my car window.

Goo morning,miss. how can I help you?

I'm Lynn Miller,i have an interview with doctor Parker this morning,he is the owner of this place and also a dentist.

The gentleman looked at me. I've been expecting you,miss Miller,my name is Michael I am a security here looking after this whole yard,please sign here for me before you can proceed or are you wanting me to show you your parking spot?

If you're giving me directions, please don't confuse me by using words like North,South, East or West i almost failed science in high because of those words,I joked.

He laughed and pointed at my parking spot,that space next to that Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge is occupied for you by Doctor Parker,He told me to keep that one for you.

Oh my God I am going to park my old car next to that expensive car,I laughed.

He giggled, if you get this job work hard and you will also drive that car too,he replied with a huge smile.

Are you needing more time to prepare before you get in?

No,Doctor Parker must be waiting for me now it's almost eight O'clock,he told me to be here at least two minutes before eight, but thanks.

He bowed, not a problem, Miss,now go and get them,show them that you deserve that job,good luck.

Thank you.

Um,does the gate to Doctor Parker's building open itself?

No,it doesn't why do you ask?He followed me do you see that?I am already treating you like an employee of Doctor Parker who has already went through placement and induction I forgot to take you to his office.give me a moment miss Miller I'll go show you the office just now.

As I packed my car He went to Doctor Parker's office to tell him that I have arrived and ask if I should go in.

Mr Jones waved at me telling me that I should go Inside, and I waved back.

I parked my white Polo Vivo Gt and got out of the car with my bag and file,i went inside, and tried to stay calm as possible.

Hello there! I don't think an interview will start just now," doctor Packer is still with a patient he will call you as soon as he is done,please take a seat there,the woman called out.

Thank you.

I sat down. Ah,I was very nervous.

I grabbed my bag and took out water to drink and try to come down my nerves,this was my dream job I guess that is why I was that nervous,as I was drinking water came a middle- age woman in a most stylish scrubs.

Her hand was covered with a silver ring and and the most expensive bracelet,the most fashionable doctor,she looked like she was going to advise patients with fashion instead of subscribing medication.

She came to me from surgery room.

Hello there! are you the lady who is here for an interview? she asked as she was coming closer to where I was sitting at the waiting room.

Yes,I held out my hand. my name is Lynn Miller.

The woman smiled and shook my hand. we were expecting you to come today.

I hope our security wasn't too much of a bother by the gate he asks many questions. He likes to make everyone feel comfortable by joking with them.

No he didn't bother me he was fine; I told her.

The woman smiled at me and looked at me and ask,do you know my name or have you ever see me on any television shows?

No,I don't know you.

Ok I am not going to introduce myself. If you gotta this job you will see me every now and then here,I am a cardiologist and I do reality shows so you will know me.

Um,nice to meet you," I replied.

I really had no idea who she was and what shows she does, but through her jewelery and her scrubs that looks like they were designed specially for her,I could see she was very rich.

By the way I do work here,I work at the hospital not far from here I only have few shares here,you going to be interviewed by Doctor Parker, He is still seeing a patient now he will be you shortly.

You were told to bring clothes for three months right?

Yes Ma'am I was told so.

Ok,you will be interviewed, after an interview you will wait for their decision,before the end of tonight the decision will have been made.

If you get the job you will be given your own place to stay,we prefer our employees to stay here because this place is far from their homes, you realised that when you were driving here,right?

Yes,Ma'am,I replied.

Ok so to avoid excuses of employees arriving late at work we decided that it is best that they live here,it is safe and you will visit your family every weekend.

we are looking for someone who has a Barchelor of Public Administration, who can be our event coordinator since we usually have conferences,business administrator,all in all you are going to be doctor Parker's secretary.

He is the the owner of this whole place, he is also a dentist,a lecture and an author, he needs a helping hand,all these buildings belongs to him.

So do you think you are the right person for this job?She asked me.

Yes,I believe I am the right person for this job Ma'am, I have all the skills and experience listed in the job description.

Ok that is great,I saw him waving at me just now, meaning he is done with the patient you can go to his office, good luck.

Thank you so much,I turned quickly and took my file and went straight to Doctor's office.

As I enter the door at his office Doctor Parker welcomed me with a warm hug,it felt weird but I guessed he was just being kind.

It's nice to have here you drove all the way to this place I see you are from Port Edward which is seventy five kilometers to this place, He said.

we appreciate you for that,he admired how thie young lady looked so clean and confident after a very long drive.

"It is my pleasure, sir,"I replied as I sat down on a leather chair opposite him.

He was dressed In uniform blue scrubs,white coat and stethoscope.

But there is something I noticed that was weird, he had very long teeth but they looked good on him.

He interviewed me for an hour, before asking me if I have any questions.

I said no and he asked me to go back and sit at the waiting room he will call me shortly.

As he promised, an hour later he called and shared the news with me,congratulations you've got the job.

Really am I hired,Sir?

Yes,should I write that on a small paper for you to keep reminding yourself? He asked.

No,Sir but thank you so much,I really appreciate this opportunity,I said.

Now take your bags and go to your room on the second double story,you will share the kitchen with other two colleagues.

Later I will call you and you will meet me by the cabin next to the lake I will give you a short training of the things that you will do,now you can leave.

Ok Sir thank you, I replied.

He gave me my keys and I went straight to the house I also wanted to rest before my training.

When i get there were two options for me elivator was more convenient and faster for me,but I chose to take the stairs.

The clock struck four o'clock by the time I get there I supposed to take an elivator because it's faster.

But as I got closer to it I heard some ladies whom I guess they were my colleagues there they were chatting,laughing.

I then decided to take the stairs because I am ot good with introductions I knew I had to introduce myself.

As I was climbing the stairs,my phone vibrated,I pulled it out and checked,that was a message from doctor Parker.

Hey it's doctor Parker meet me in a cabin at half past four,that was the message he sent me.

i agreed even though I was left with few minutes before our meeting.

I was left with only twenty five minutes to freshen up before I go and meet him at the Cabin.

I unpacked my clothes and took a quick bath.

After I had five minutes to go to that cabin this time I was late,I had to use an elivator.

Lucky, I was alone.

I then walked into the Cabin,Doctor Parker wasn't there yet,I waited.

while I was waiting I decided to give myself a tour.

As I was walking around, I saw a picture of two doctors.

Both doctors were dressed in white human coat, light masks,with matching watches.However when I look close to these pictures, this was doctor Parker and the lady who welcomed me to an interview, but who ended up not telling me her name.

I wonder who is she?

I kept asking myself that question.

Their white coat were both stained, there were many pictures of them two, they must have worked together for a very long time I think that is the reason why they have so many pictures of them together.

Doctor Parker is late with two more minutes.

I was starting to get mad,this was the very long day for me.

Driving for hours, attending an interview ,now I am waiting for a late doctor,all these things in one day.

I wanted him to arrive and do this training and let me go and rest.I pulled out my phone trying to call doctor Parker but there was no network,when I was about to try call again.

That's when I heard the door open.

I turned quickly and went to the center of the cabin to see if it was really him.

Doctor Parker was all smiles while I was very tense and confused.

"Now could I interest you to a spa?my treat," to say I am sorry for keeping you waiting for this long,we have a spa here ,doctor Parker offered.

I looked at his face and shook my head."No it's fine. there is no need to do that this cabin has beautiful things to look at while waiting for someone. Doctor Parker placed his hand on my back."Then I can show around this small town when we are both free.

No,I cannot accept that either, I moved his hands from my back.He laughed."All right,let me not keep waiting." I am sure you are keen to know why I called you here,I am sure you won't wait any longer.

He could see my confusion to my face.

I won't, I replied.

Ok,I saw your resume and your college results, you did very well,I trust you will do well here how many siblings do you have that dependon you?,he asked.

I have three siblings that I look after since we lost our grandmother, I replied.

Alright, I am going to be very straight with you so that we do not waste each other's time, by work for us you will earn a good salary that is good for only yourself until you have a ten year experience you will then double your salary. He turned to the table next to him and took a small paper. He the said to me."unless, you keep your opinions open. Like considering this option, he gave me that small paper.

I wondered if I was going to be a cleaner or what was required from me.

Doctor Parker turned to me and smiled with his long werewolf teeth."He said, you want more money to look after your siblings and I can give you that. But I have my demands too. He said.

And what are those demands? I asked.

Once or twice a week we going to meet to this cabin and you will give me massages Tantra,ancient Taoism and waxing. And you are going to keep that between us because we are not in a relationship we'll take it as a business that'll benefit both of us in a good way. You get your money I get my spiritual and even healing component. He said.

My face grew more synthetic.

"I won't."

I shook my head."No doctor Parker.

That is very unprofessional.if you'll excuse me I'll get back to my room."I walked passed him. with my long heels that I have been wearing all day long. Doctor Parker grabbed my hand amd asked me to at least think about it,think about the money you will get our of this you have been in school your whole life,you don't how it feels to be outside let me show how it feels like,you will drive your own expensive car,help your siblings with anything they need,buy your own house I'm sure you need all those things. Although I wanted that life but that was a big no-no it's against the company policy.

How can I do anything like that on my very first job? I asked myself. If my other colleague's see me here they will think I used a nepotism to get this job can I please go back to my room Sir? I asked.

ok,but please promise me you will think about it when you get to your room?

I will,I said that only for him to allow me to get back to my room.

When I get to my room I sat on the floor,tears rolled down. I was so confused and angry.How can werewolf rich doctor fall for plain person like me? although he didn't say it but I can see he has very strong feelings for me. I was thinking of a solution to this whole thing. I changed to my pajamas and switched on my laptop to call my siblings and let them know I travel safe.

But I quickly remembered that I promised to email my little brother's teacher a slip that I paid. Thes school fees is very expensive, I won't maintain their standard of living if I say no to Doctor Parker offer.

but how can I do such an evil thing for money? I kept asking myself all these questions that I didn't have answers to. I leaned back in my chair and tried to think about this offer,Doctor Parker is twice my age,it's possible that he has his wife,but I won't be dating him it's just business. while I was talking to myself I fell asleep on that chair.

The next morning I decided to give him a chance not because I have a thing for him but for my siblings.
