Three
I enter King’spany while my heart is beating so fast. I have an interview in twenty minutes and
to say I''m nervous would be an understatement. I will my legs to the receptionist who I expect to be
the cliché type but instead find a beautifuldy with so minimal makeup and dress pants typing. My
kind of girl. She looks up when she feels my presence and casts a smile that I know is practiced.
“Umm. Hi, I came for the human resource position interview.” I try smiling at her politely. Her eyes
light up in recognition. “Isabe Styles, isn’t it?” My face must be showing confusion. “Oh! There
only two of you and the other one just came in.” That exins it.
“Thought I was some celebrity there.” Iugh at my humour and thedy joins me. I look at her
name tag. Emily. “Well you’re not.” Emily says in matter of fact with a slight humour. I only grin at
her.
“Hope you get the job Ms Styles. I already like you.” She says in her weing voice with arge
smile. She’s so happy. I suddenly remember how the handsome mysterious man had a happy
expression throughout. I shake my head. Not him again.
“Please call me Be.” I smile at her. “Be it is. Your interview is on the fifteenth floor. The
elevators are right there. She says pointing to my left. I thank her and go towards the elevators.
Two minutester I get in and luckily no one is inside. Memories of the man in the club with me
invades my mind. Again. I remember his kisses and touch. How his fingers… Get a fucking grip
Be. I decide to think about the interview as I check myself in the mirror. My hair is perfect and my
white pencil skirt looks decent enough. I have a ck button down blouse that I have tucked in
making me look professional.
The elevator dings indicating I have reached my destination. I take in a deep breath as I wait the
door to open and get out. I see another receptionist who looks like she would rather be at some
other ce. She is the total opposite of Emily.
“Hi, I’m here for the inter-” I am rudely cut off by the bimbo who looks to be underdressed. “Yeah,
yeah, yeah go to room 15D.” She says looking down at her novel. A manes next to me and
calls Ashley who I assume it''s her since she hummed when she looked up but her stance changed
to a flirty one in a second. I almost let out a groan. Her boobs are showing and I know if she shouts
they will burst out of the revealing top.
I roll my eyes and go to look for room 15D. I see a man who looks so anxious sitting on one of the
chairs tapping his foot anxiously. "Stop that. Stop tapping your foot." I snap after a while. It''s so
annoying. Yeah! I am so pissed off with everyone today. I go and sit on the seat opposite him. He
smiles at me but I only acknowledge him with a nod. I just don’t feel like being nice.
After about ten minutes adyes out and calls Mr Jackson and I see the man inhale deeply
before following her. I feel you Mr Jackson. He looks so nervous that I almost pity him. Keyword
being almost but I also need the job. I need to move out of the shitty apartment and I have college
loan to pay and some more expenses.
My foster father that I came to love is in the hospital and was recently diagnosed with leukaemia.
His medical bills has drained out my ount but I never mind. He took care of me with all the love I
never got from my shitty parents and now it''s my turn. His wife and daughter died and so he
decided to adopt me.
I am his daughter’s recement. But I never cared. He loves me so much since I remind him of her.
Mr Jacksones out ten minutester with a neutral expression. I try guessing the oue to no
avail. Thedy emerges secondster andes to me. “Ms Styles right?” I nod my head. “Indeed
it is.” I try cooling down the tension but the woman gives me a tight lip smile. UH OH!
“Follow me!” I get to my feet so fast and soon I''m following her. We get into an elegant office as she
goes and sits behind the desk. Looks like she is my interviewer after all.
“Mr Kings would have been here personally to interview you but he was caught up somewhere.
After all he’s a busy man.” I don’t mind. I heard Sydney Kings is a scary man who has the world
running under his feet. A ruthless man who cares about no one. I''ll make sure not to pass near his
way. I am clever enough to do that.
The interview drugs on for about five minutes when the woman keeps on mocking and taunting me.
I have impressive grades and I am so proud of myself but she is getting on my nerves until finally I
snap.
“Excuse me MIss but I would really appreciate if you stop your attitude. This is not being
professional trying to mock my clothing and school records.” I really need this job but screw it. I rise
from my seat aggressively and take my documents and leave only to collide into a wall. All the
documents go flying all over the ce. ''Great! I fucking needed this.'' Note the sarcasm.
I bend to pick them when I notice shinny dress shoes in front of me. They look so expensive and I
try to resist thepulsion of raising my eyes to look up. I take everything and stand up to
mesmerizing grey eyes that hold so much anger but I remained immobile when I recognized him.
“You’re fired.” And now I''m confused. I never got over with the interview . No one moves but the
man’s eyes never leaves mine. Is he really talking to me? “Pack your things and get going Ms
Kendall.” His eyes never leaves mine but I don''t mind. He looks the same only now instead of happy
he looks so stressed and emotionless. His face is still handsome though but I prefer him when I met
him at the club. He looked so carefree.
“Sorry Mr Kings. There is a mis-” My eyes widen when I hear his name. “M-Mr K-Kings? You’re
him?” Oh no! I turn around trying to massage my temples. Should I pretend to faint? I can’t get the
job anyway. Maybe I should just leave. I decide to leave but he holds my hand preventing me from
doing so and this time I really do faint.
I wake up in arger office which is themed ck and white. I look around trying to register what
happened. “Look who got the grace to wake up now?” Mr Kings says in a mocking tone and my
forgotten panices back.
“I’m so sorry. I have no idea why I fainted. Must have been since I never ate my breakfast or
something. I know I wasted your time and I have to leave.” I know I''m a rambling mess but that’s
what I do best whenever I a panicked. Mr Kingses to me and gives me a passionate kiss
leaving me breathless.
“Have you been with another man Isabe?” I give him a ridiculous look. Who is he to ask me such
questions? That''s personal.
“What does my private life have to do with this Mr Kings? I only came here for an interview. Not
some drama or surprises that I didn’t ask for.”
I take my purse and leave without looking back.
“You’ll be mine Isabe Styles.” He says it like a promise that makes my heart beat so fast but I still
ran.Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.
