After she exited the washroom, Shawn had already gone. She wondered why he was at the same building as her. She thought that maybe he was working at the building. As she was in the elevator heading downstairs, she couldn't stop to ask herself why she met him again. "It's strange I hope won't be working with him in the same department", since he was starting to irritate her. She hoped that they wouldn't be working in the same department.
After a couple of minutes, she arrived home. She decided to first relax and take a nap. Before she knew it, she drifted into a deep sleep. This time she didn't dream like she does most of the time she sleeps.
The slanting rays of the setting sun gave a warm orange tinge to the sky. As she stared outside the window, she couldn't stop thinking about Shawn. She tried not to think about him but all the time she was alone. She just remembered him like he was the most important person in her life.
"What's happening to me. Why am I thinking of him...?" she asked herself. She was thinking of him most of the time. She knew that it wasn't a normal thing to her since she has never been in a relationship before. She tried her best to convince herself that it was a mere crush since Shawn is so cute though annoying.
Someone was at the door. She headed to the door to open it. It was Brianna who was at the door. She was excited that she wouldn't be alone again. "Are you alright...", Brianna asked. She could see it in her eyes, that something was bothering her. She wasn't mistaken since she knew her well.
"Nah am fine am just thinking of Shawn", she involuntary mentioned him even though she didn't want to tell her about Shawn. She didn't want to be talking about him all the time.
"Take first what have brought for you", she opened the box that she was carrying. Brianna had bought her the black forest cake.
"Wow, this is good. Why did you buy a full one this time ", she couldn't understand why she bought the full cake. It wasn't her birthday day yet. So she wondered why she bought the cake.
"Cause am sure that you have gotten the job. How was the interview", she raised the obvious question. Even though she didn't want to tell her about meeting Shawn. She decided to tell her the entire truth. She informed her that the interview went on well and she was hopeful that, she would get the job. She then informed her how she met with Shawn as she was heading to the washroom. Brianna couldn't believe that they met again. To her that wasn't just a coincidence, it meant something.
"What if he is working there", Brianna pointed out. She knew that it wasn't just a mere coincidence that they met again as she was going for the interview.
"I think that too. But what I wonder is why we met again. And why I think of him", she confessed. She wanted to know what was happening to her.
"I think you have a crush on him", Brianna was certain that Cat liked Shawn.
"Hell, no can't crush on him. He's so irritating he even told me to return his tshirt in his house again", she hastily denied Brianna's reply. Even though she had a crush on him, she couldn't accept it. She wanted to first accomplish her mission of finding her mother before she engaged in love. She couldn't figure out herself being in love with a stranger she didn't know where he came from.
"As you say so but am certain you like Shawn", she wanted to assure her that it wasn't bad admitting that she liked Shawn.
"Whatever let's stop talking about him. Thanks for the cake", She thanked her as she bites the cake. It was what she needed to relax her mind. After she was done eating the cake. She prepared a delicious meal which they ate. Then afterward they headed to sleep.
*****
As she was preparing herself to go to work. Her heart was overwhelmed with joy for she was going to work for the first time. Her dreams were coming to pass one by one. After she collects the money she needed. She was planning to start looking for her mother first as she was still working.
As she was heading to the office of her soon to be boss. She hoped that it was a lady she would be working for. She hoped that she wouldn't be in the same department as Shawn. She swallowed nervously as she tried to calm herself as the lift reached her soon to be boss's office.
"Hi I am Carey the new personal assistant of the director", she informed the secretary who was sitting outside the director's office. He was a guy unlike how she thought that the secretary would be a lady.
"Let me call him first. Take your seat and you are welcomed", After the secretary mentioned the word 'him'. She knew that her soon to be boss is a man.
"You may now enter... He is waiting for you...", the secretary informed her.
"Thank you", the corners of her lips curved up slightly as she tried to simmer in her nervousness. As she entered his office. She was amused by the way the office was so big and fancy. As she headed towards where he was sitting. She couldn't believe that it was him again. She rubbed her eyes to confirm that it was him. She never thought that he was the director of the company. She sighed heavily as her eyes were glued on him.
"Miss Catina you can take your sit", Shawn pointed out. He was amazed that it was her that would be his assistant. The corners of his lips curved up widely as his smile enveloped his face.
"You mean you are the boss...", she just wanted a confirmation. She thought that maybe she had gone to the wrong office.
"Yes Cat it's me Shawn and you will be my assistant", he clarified. She couldn't believe that she was going to be seeing him every day. Even though she was glad that her boss wasn't an old man. She couldn't stop herself from being anxious.
