Be mine.

He kissed me so deeply and passionately. I froze because I expected him to push me away in the first place. But he actually came in for more. God what's this?????

"My first kiss." I mumbled enough for him to hear.

"You initiated it baby girl." I blushed so hard at his words.

God am so embarrassed. What do I do now? am so stupid. I held my embarrassed face and tried to run away from his house before he pulled me back and I fell on his laps. His hot breath kissed on my neck and became stiff.

"Can you please let me sit on the couch? I.. it's uncomfortable here." Good he let me sit down opposite him but still I couldn't stand his gaze. So serious.

It was becoming awkward so I spoke first. "Who cheated on you?" I asked bitting my fingers but he held his face between her hands and looked at me like a puppy.

"Be mine...." he finally spoke but the hell to his answer. That ain't what I asked. it gave me goosebumps. No, he's joking.

"Hahaha...I mean umm... earlier you said that she cheated on you. Who is it?" he was hesitant to talk about it. Maybe he was embarrassed or even didn't want to talk about it. I didn't take it serious since I saw him earlier in the garage.

"Forget it am not interested in knowing anymore." I don't like poking my nose in businesses that don't have a thing to do with me anyway.

Did she forget what took her to that house in the first place. She wanted a WiFi password to submit her CV before the deadline.

"Please I would appreciate if you assist me with your WiFi password for a moment. I wanna do something that can't wait for you to stop flirting."

"It's good you know that am flirting with you..." he chuckled before walking to a desk and then giving her a piece of paper.

*Next morning*

I woke up to the sound of my ringing phone which I answered without opening my sleepy eyes. God am so lazy.

What the party on the other side told me made me sit up with smiles all over my face.

It was a call from the Miles corporation inviting me for an interview before noon.

I hummed one of Selena Gomez's songs as I did my morning routine.

To me, my confidence is what would forever stand for me. I trust in myself that I will surely pass this. At that thought, I walked majestically to my wardrobe and picked a white office suit and black leather heels to give me a look of a ready person.

Indeed as expected, I earned a whole sugar look with my silver hair and my sparkling blue eyes. I applied my lip gloss and was ready to go.

Miles corporation.

Young and beautiful ladies were moving in and out of the interview room. Some were smiling and some were heavily stamping the floor because of reasons that I didn't know.

I pinched my fingers as I waited for my turn. If I ever said I was confident, this time I was like a nervous kitten.

To what seemed like eternity, it was finally my turn. A lady possibly in her late thirties with icy green eyes looked at me sending me chills. She looked too serious to scare me.

I sat comfortably and inhaled as deeply as I could.

"Young girl, what makes you think you can work with the miles corporation as a designer?"

"You don't have the experience we called for, why did you still apply?" she continued asking me work related questions.

I think I gave her satisfying answers judging from the smile she gave me.

"Okay, we shall call you if at all you pass!"

I was so damn hungry by the time I finished the interview. I remembered that I didn't bother to eat before coming here since I responded to the call and forgot about my poor stomach.

Rose had prepared delicious meals for us and I didn't wait to dig in when I got home.

"How was the interview?" she broke the silence.

I placed my spoon down and then looked at her before speaking. " I have to wait for their call." I had just finished talking to her when my phone began to buzz.

We exchanged looks before I picked up the call.

"Hello.." I said immediately after picking up the call.

"Is this Ms. Linda Williams?" the other party asked.

"Yes please"

"Report to the Miles corporation tomorrow morning for work before 8am." she didn't wait for my reply and hung up immediately.

"What?" Rose asked. I didn't reply to her but instead I hugged her so tightly.

"What?" she asked again. "I passed the interview. I'm gonna start the work tomorrow."

Nothing could explain my happiness at the moment.

Ten years ago, our mom died in a way that we couldn't understand. My dad took me to her wife since I was so young at the moment. I had lived in hell while on earth. I was treated like someone who was picked up from the street enduring the endless beatings and starvation.

By the time my mom left us, my sister was older than me. She had to quit school and run away from the city.

My dream was just to grow up and become a woman of responsibility. I needed to give some people a shoulder and this was the beginning. I won't turn back.

I lay happily on my soft and comfortable bed thinking about what I have gone through. I missed my mom so much but still I believed that she was watching me from somewhere. I only want to make her proud.

Taking a last glance at her picture, I closed my eyes and finally slept off.

I woke up with all the energy that I felt. I got ready and couldn't dare be late since it was my first day at work. I stopped in front of Miles corporation with a broad smile on my face.

I was introduced to my workmates as soon as I entered my department.

."Hello everyone, this is Linda Williams your new fellow. I hope you can guide her well." the manager, Ms. Ellen Belcalis looked at me with. a warm smile.

"Welcome Ms. Linda. you can call me Cara and please feel free to consult me if you need anything." he hugged my shoulder in a friendly way

I was happy to meet these warm colleagues. At least work will be good.

Suddenly a familiar face and figure stood in a distance talking to two men. He seemed to be giving orders.

"Martins. What is he doing here?"....I asked myself remembering what happened to us and unintentionally chewed on my lip.

"That is our handsome CEO. "Mr. Trevor Martins but he likes keeping a low profile." my colleague who sat on the seat next to me came closer and whispered to me.

"What? CEO?" I was so surprised.

I mean looking at his dress format, he looked like someone who passed by to pay greetings to a friend. A pair of blue jeans and a long sleeve black polo with a pair of white and blue sneakers. Think about where he lives. No, he can't be a CEO of such a company
