Louisa get a hold of yourself, this is not what you came here for; she scolded herself and gained her composure.
Brian was looking extremely breathtaking with his white Tuxedo, when it comes to fashion sense, he has an award for that, and he normally said that if he were not into business then fashion would have been his alternative.
Good morning sir, Louisa greeted trying not to show any hint of nervousness.
Good morning, do have your sit.
God please, is this not too much for me? Even his voice is a turn on and how am I going to cope with all this handsomeness? This is not good at all; she chided herself.
You are? Brian asked referring to Louisa.
I am Louisa Jacobs, Louisa stopped there hoping that he would ask for more information about her but it was not forth coming. She turned to Anita's and gave her this "why is he not saying anything kind of look" but Anita shrugged her shoulders. She just had to wait patiently for the next question
After some minutes of silence, he asked another question. Why do you want to take up the job of a personal assistant when you can achieve better?
Well, I have looked for my kind of job opportunity everywhere I could but it wasn't forth coming, places where I submitted my C.v's they never called back so I decided to settle for anything.
By anything, what do you mean?
Do not get me wrong sir, I meant settle for what I did not plan.
Can I see your documents?
Yes sir, she handed her files over to him, he gave a careful look at her certificate and had a smile of satisfaction on his face and Louisa forced a smile on as well from mere staring at him. All these while Anita kept quiet to allow the both of them have their conversation.
I must say that you came out with good grades, especially if there was not any malpractice involved, as you can see in this company; we only employ workers based on merit, reliability, honestly and mostly accountability.
I understand sir; I am not going to do less sir...
I hope you do not, Anita here was the one who recommended you and she is a friend, I do not want to believe you are overrated. so make sure you make her proud. He smiled at Anita who could not take her eyes off his face.
I will not and as for my friend, we have been through a lot together and I owe her a lot for this. Does it mean I have the job now?
What did you think? He asked with creased brows.
I do not know sir, so I am counting on you to know if I have the job.
Brian shook his head and replied Miss Louisa Jacobs you have the job as my personal assistant.
Thank you so much sir, God bless you and I promise to make my presence here worthwhile.
You had better do, he answered indifferently. Before I forget, your pay will be a hundred and fifty thousand naira, is that okay by you?
Louisa felt like crying, is that okay by me for real? Even if it was fifty thousand, I would have still accepted and here he is asking if a hundred and fifty thousand is okay by me. Yes sir, it is.
Thank you so much Brian, I truly appreciate that you regard our friendship; I owe you one for this.
It is okay Anita. I just hope she delivers.
She will, so can I get a hug. She asked with her arms wide open.
Ermmm...sure you can.
She walked to his table, wrapped her arm around his neck, and allowed herself to drown in his masculine scent, after sometime they both withdrew from each other's embrace. All these while Louisa was there staring into an empty space, she was happy, finally she can start taking up some responsibilities.
Louisa, you can start work from tomorrow so I can prep you on what to do as my P.A, please don't be late.
Okay sir, thank you once again, Anita let's go, she dragged Anita who kept looking at Brian dreamily and she followed her.
As soon as they got to Anita's car, Louisa released her breath that she didn't know she was holding back.
Are you okay? Anita asked looking concerned
Who wouldn't be after getting my kind of job, I feel like I have won a lotto. Hehehe they both laughed. Ani, you know I miss those old times.
I know baby, we can always do girls bonding after work tomorrow, what do you think?
Well I love the idea but I did not even ask for my closing time.
It is okay, you will not close too late besides it will not be bad staying with such a handsome guy all day, she kept teasing Louisa.
Talking about handsome, why do I feel someone has eyes for him, the way you kept looking at him like....she didn't get to finish her sentence when Anita cut in.
He is handsome, who wouldn't look at him after all I saw you staring dreamily at him, so don't throw tantrums at me now it doesn't matter though because he might have a girlfriend, I don't want to be the other woman in anybody's life.
Nevertheless, you feel something for him right?
I do babes, you know after Fredrick, no other person has caught my fancy except him but I think the feeling is not mutual and the last thing I want in this life is unrequited feelings. She said looking pained
It is okay babe; do not jump into conclusion, why is my cheerful and giddy Anita looking so down. You know that you are a full package, if it turns out that what you said it is true, you move on. Remember there are still so many people who will die to have your attention so cheer up honey.
I will, let us go home, I am itching to share this good news with Michael and mom, and they will be so happy me for me.
With that they drove to Louisa's house to share the good news with the family
