CHAPTER SIX
BRIELLE
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; he states looking me in the eye
What? What CV sir? I ask perplexed
Excuse me? He raises a brow but gets cut off by the telephone' sound
I look around the massive office which was beautiful to a fault. My eyes take in the tag at the end of one side of his desk.
CEO, Mr Alexander Vladmir King! My subconscious reads out clearly captivated with his name and status. That explains his strong and intimidating aura.... My thoughts get cuts off by his voice
What do you mean? He asks whoever called still looking at me making me avert my eyes
Did she send me here all smiles thinking I applied for a job? My subconscious questions the smiling receptionist
It was too good to be true...
Listen to me clearly May! This should never repeat itself, Never! He frowns
ALEXANDER
Her perplexed look got me turning on my laptop to check the CV I thought was hers, when the telephone at my desk ring
Good day sir! The receptionist speaks. Only God knows how much I hate unimportant calls as she has been calling clearly using the privilege of my absent secretary
Miss Madeline just got here sir! My silence must have told her she must be joking. Who the hell is Madeline?
I mean the lady you asked me to contact after vigorous screening for the job of your P.A; she speaks taking a deep breathe
What is with the harsh intake of breathe? I don't bite now, do I?
What do you mean? I look at My Angel sitting down in front of me looking deep in thought; the moment our eyes meets, she avert hers looking tensed
I am sorry sir, I made a mistake with the lady I sent to your office; when she said she was here for the job, I didn't think to ask for her name before sending her to you sir.
I am sorry, sir! She apologizes for the countless time knowing how badly I hate incompetency. She should thank her Lord that I am in a very good mood right now, else...
Listen to me clearly May! This should never repeat itself, Never! I frown when My Angel tenses up with a scared look
What I will give never to see that look on her ever again
Tell the Lady that she has lost the job due to her tardiness! When an interview is scheduled for 10, I see no reason why you should be coming 30mins later! I drop the call making my verdict.
The CV comes on screen after loading and surely she isn't the one captured; to think I didn't even look at the photo of who I was going to hire....
Was! Because she just lost her chance
My receptionist sent you up here due to a misunderstanding miss! I try to be professional
I figured that out from your conversation sir, but I really did come for a job! I saw an ad on the newspaper for a job at Kings Inc with an interview scheduled for 10am; she blurts out in one go clenching her little hands
What job? I ask knowing there are no available positions unless the HR department needs a mediocre worker.....
A cleaner, sir! She takes those beautiful blue orbs away from mine.
My Angel, a cleaner! I honestly thought she ... I trail off subconsciously
What are your qualifications? I keep my tone passive as usual but only God knows the kind of emotions running through me at the moment
I ....I only have an high school certificate sir! She gulps down nothing looking alluring in my eyes with her blood red lips which she keeps biting nervously
Mine! My subconscious growls
How old are you? I blurt out scared of this much feelings for an underaged because she looks really young and fragile
I am 19 yrs old sir!
Nineteen, Really man! I groan subconsciously. This time Domenico's prayers really came to past. But then, she is an adult and that is what matters.....
The Job interview you came for was scheduled for yesterday and that is done by the HR team; so I do not know much about it.
BRIELLE
The sentence that came after he asked of my age made me realize in my haste and excitement, I failed to check the date of the interview since the papers were for earlier today.
My brain starts to race a million thoughts of how I am going to cater for Rey without a job as my only hope just faded away in front of my eyes...
I blink back tears, taking my eyes away from his probing gaze.
But, I will give you a job.....
Sir! I cut him off with a speed of lightening, wanting to make sure I am not hearing things now
I want you to be my personal assistant. I know you have no experience on the job but you will get a hang of it with a little help. You seem like a smart one so can you take it up? He asked with a straight face
Yes! Yes sir! A tear leaves my eyes followed by another and now I am in tears.
I am sorry sir! I apologize on meeting the frown on his face
Did I say something wrong miss.... He trails off realizing he doesn't know my name yet
Brielle Anabella Donovan! I wipe away my tears picking up every ounce of professionalism I can grab on not got to jump on him in joy.
DOMENICO
I finally finished the file I have been working on since I got to work this morning. The King's and Salvador's work in the same building but different wings. While Alex manages the architectural and engineering sector, I manage the computer and tech sector just the way our fathers used to.
My Dad, Gregory Salvadore, is an orphan the King's raised and then married my mum, Savanna Stacy King, the King's second child and only daughter.
It's almost time for lunch so I decide to go visit my dear cousin. Like he has been acting funny since Elite but knowing Alex, he will tell me all about it once he figures it out.
Though I do have a hunch....
The doors to my office opens up abruptly making me to narrow my eyes on who would barge in with my secretary outside .....
My thoughts gets cut off on seeing the face behind my every dream for the past 5 years, my very chiled ice latte, my thunderstorm, my model, my fiance.... all mine
Are you gonna sit gaping at me or welcome me in, with a hug, Mr Salvador? She asks walking in looking every inch the model that she is with a blue jumpsuit, white heels and bag, hair tied in a high ponytail and just a lip balm for makeup.
I meet her halfway to my work desk merging my lips with hers in a hot frenzy kiss.
Hell have I missed this.....
Welcome home, My storm! I place a kiss at the top of her head while she tries to catch her breathe with a cherry red face.
so cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
