CHAPTER FIVE

BRIELLE

Mathie and his boys finally left after Rey scolded them for adding to my problems. Mathie is a Street thug who terrorizes everyone but me and Rey, simply because he thinks I will get married to him someday.

I really do not know how I will escape his clutches, but I am sure I will when the time is right; after all no other boy in the neighborhood disturbs me all thanks to him.

Morning comes fast as I hardly got any sleep thinking of my next course of action.

The little money I have managed to safe will definitely not be enough for a week feeding, so I had to figure something out and that too fast!

I wake Rey up and prepare her for school with my head racing with various decent jobs I could try out.

In no time, I watch her walk into her school's gate. I take a turn asking around for job opportunities for I always like to take jobs closer to her school.

It's been an hour of endless search with no good result when I decided to look in the newspaper.

Maybe I can get a cleaner job or something, knowing I do not have the credentials necessary for an office job .

I sit on a resting shed while going through the papers until I finally come across a job interview for a cleaner position position at King's Inc scheduled for today at 10:00 am

Isn't that the most successful group of company owner in country Z? I question myself while noticing the address isn't far at all.

I quickly dispose the sachet water I was drinking, straighten the dress I was wearing, then quickly run a hand through my hair before stopping a cab.

I can't run there now, can I???

In less than 4 mins, I stand before the most beautifully made building I have ever seen after all I never go beyond the school.

The building was made of glass which shines due to the sun. I look up to see that the building actually goes up to the sky looking magnificent and surreal.

Good day! I call on the attention of the receptionist who is elegantly dressed looking like a manager;

They must really pay well! I smile

Good day Miss! How may I help you? She asks professionally with a beautiful smile

I am here for the job interview scheduled today at 10am; I summarize

Welcome to King's inc Miss! The interview is taking place on the 45th floor so you may use the elevator by your left.

Thank you! I smile making my way to the elevator but also thinking of the fact that they take the interview for a cleaner's position so serious.

I walk down the hallway which was super quiet making me question if I was in the right place. There is no sign of an office or a waiting area but looking closely, I notice a huge gate-like door at the end of the floor.

Am I at the right place? I bite my lip clearly tensed

I am about to knock when I see a bell button by the wall so I press on it lightly. In less than two seconds, the red light at the top of the door turned green and I took that as my signal to go in.

I push on the door which didn't just look every, but was actually heavy!

Why the hell does one need such a door for an office ? I put in more strength as the door swings open while I struggle not to lose my footing.

You were supposed to wait for the door to open on its own, miss! A music- like voice cuts through my thoughts as I jerk my head towards the direction of the sound

Behold is the most handsome man I have ever came across; wearing a maroon tuxedo suit with his hair elegantly packed in a ponytail, furrowed brows and a jaw set straight like he is in thoughts.

Why will God make a man so handsome and then bless him with such an exquisite job? I pout unintentionally as I take in the beautiful sight

He slowly lifts his head off his computer while straightening his suit as his eyes meets mine...

ALEXANDER

I have been unable to keep her gorgeous self out of my mind and honestly it is the first time I am feeling this way over the opposite gender.

Yeah! I have never had a woman in my life not even for pleasure

So it is beginning to get annoying and frustrating as I do not have a clue on how to see her again. I decided I will go with Domenico later in the day to Elite hoping to see her again with the excuse of picking up Edmond.

Lame! Yeah, I know.....

I bury myself in work keeping her thoughts at the back of my mind when I receive a call from the receptionist letting me know that the girl who applied for the position of my personal assistant is on her way to my office.

I love to interview those who work in close contact with me

I got lost in a contract I am reviewing when the door bell rings and without thinking much, I activated the open button to my door.

The door was designed by a highly recommended engineer who saw to it that all of my wants concerning it was met.

I wanted a door that only my fingerprint can open, with an automatic open and close mechanism and impossible to break into. He did deliver exceeding well that I almost doubled his pay..

A girl stumbles in as it seems she tried pushing the door open herself before it's boot time; well it happens alot with people who have never been to my office so I can't blame it on being clumsy.

You were supposed to wait for the door to open on its own miss! I saved the review I have made before turning my attention to the guest when I meet with the last face I expected to see in my workplace

I look again to make sure I wasn't seeing things due to excessive thinking and stress but she stood still right in front of me, at my company, in my office looking perfect.

Good day sir! Her voice drifts to my ears cutting me off my wandering thoughts, as I fight to get my composure which I have never lose until today

Good day Miss, sit! I gesture towards the seat at my left hand side opposite my work desk

I have gone through the CV you submitted on our site and I am pretty impressed which is why you were asked to come over; I recall the details I got on her earlier today before asking my secretary to call her up for an interview...
