Sitting on the couch with the cup of coffee in her hand which was the best combination with this awful pouring.
She finally got rid of her different side which is just broken her. She tried her best to not let anyone see that side of her. She just doesn't want anyone to see her with pitiful eyes cause she hates that look.
She remembered how from childhood she lived without a father, her mother was the only one who supported her in everything.
Thinking how her life turned upside down at fifteen and how her mother broke the promise of staying with me.
She was a minor when she was left alone in this cruel world so she had to live at her uncle's and was treated differently as she was an outsider.
She did many part times jobs, moved out at eighteen, and rented an apartment with her saved money.
She got a job thinking everything will be fine now but all that got ruined in one day due to her anger.
Remembering today's event,
"So much has happened in one day, Today's day was full of drama and action", she chuckled at her thoughts by comparing a drama with her own life.
Her eyes never left the initials of the umbrella. She doesn't know why but it felt like she has seen them before. Seeing the umbrella again reminded her of the man who gave this to her, and a smile again made its way toward her face. She regrets not talking to him or not even knowing his name but if fate wants it then she would want to meet him again or at least thank him but looks like fate isn't even on her side as she doesn't even know what he even looks like. Now she wants to know what how he looks like, not because he may be handsome but because she wants to thank him and return this umbrella.
Lost in thoughts about that guy, She started feeling sleepy and yawning. About to drift into her dream world but in this real world, there is always something that has to disturb her, and that's what happened again, her apartment bell rang which make her eyes wide open.
She groaned and made her way towards the door. She opened the door and the thing which was lying on the door was like a slap to her face, saying her to wake up from her dreamland of peace. That's right it was the electricity bill and apartment monthly rent.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
"I don't want to work again but these bills are my enemy. When the hell does this electricity bill go so high? I swear to God this will be the cause of my death", she said in annoyance.
Forcefully she opened her laptop and searched for a job application, "looks like I have to work again or you can say that becomes a slave to the word Money", she said.
Many companies required employees so she applied for all but one company that caught her attention and it was "Nichols Enterprise", That's right Nichols Enterprise! , country's highest-ranking company, and in the world's top 5. She couldn't believe that they are searching for the position of secretary and some employees. She is shocked that they are even hiring cause they rarely do that. She had like 0.01% chance that she will get the position if she got lucky but still, she applied for the position anyway, it's not wrong to apply for it even if she know I wouldn't be selected right?
"how would it feel to work for the billionaires" this was the only thought going on in her mind while waiting in the waiting lounge at Nichols company and not gonna lie it was making her more anxious and nervous.
She regretted coming here. This place looked so luxurious and the people for the interview were looking highly presentable, making her look like a simple ugly rag in In front of them. She was feeling very insecure but was still acting all tough not letting anyone sense that she is not feeling confident.
She got startled when her name was called for the interview by the receptionist. She was walking towards the office feeling very insecure as she is looking like the odd one out. She is just wearing a simple T with jeans looking like a new college girl. Releasing a big sigh she entered the office.
The young CEO was sitting on his chair and he offered me to sit on a chair that was far away from him yet in In front of him. There was an awkward silence for a few seconds and it broke when he spoke
"How foolish for you to even apply for a job here"
"w-what? Is there any problem with my qualification? she said hesitantly.
"don't question me, you can leave now. There are many people out there whom I have to interview", He said as if he was in hurry and waiting for her to just get out.
She knew that she wouldn't get selected by this company but she wanted to know the reasons for not getting hired so she can learn her outcomings from his point of view and make herself better and better.
"then what's the problem", she said in a curious tone.
He looked at her seriously for a second which made her straighten her back, for a few seconds he was quiet as if finding excuses to just make her leave, then finally he spoke.
"look at your clothes, Is this how you will represent our company?" he said in a mocking tone.
This line of him made her kick her anger issues. What's wrong with him, is this one of the top companies when it is so judgmental? she was here for listening some professional reasons but he is so crazy! that's why she couldn't stop me from answering him.
"I think people's skills should be the ones to represent the company, not their looks" she forces herself to speak as politely as she can.
He was taken aback for a few seconds but then he again composed himself.
"oh really? then why were you fired from your last company? It does mean that you lack in your skills", he said with an uninterested expression on his face.
her mind went blank for a second. "How did he know that I was fired? I think he studies the background of everyone here. It will not be a surprise if he did, I think he did it to get the best employees. After all, it's the best company that needs the best employees" she thought and then again she still tried to speak.
"It wasn't my fault, I- "
Her words were cut off by him.
"Oh shut up, I am not here to listen to your excuses." He said in an annoying tone.
She scoffed at his words. How someone can be this annoying, He was getting on her nerves.
"Can you please get out? I have so much work to do, I have no time for you", he said.
She couldn't be silent anymore, she is ready to speak whatever she wants before going and it was not like she will regret it or something, and neither it's her disadvantage as she knows that she won't be selected there anyway.
"Listen here you a little piece of shit!", she shouted.
He was shocked and she can see that from his eyes. And why wouldn't he even be as nobody has ever dared to say those words to him Infront of his face?
"I don't even know why your company is on top when your attitude sucks like this and who the hell sees dressing when your work is supposed to be the priority? A billionaire like you should be understanding but after meeting you I am just disgusted. You should be thankful that I didn't punch you like my old boss even if you are worse than him. Let me tell you my old boss will regret firing me as I was the one who was working hard there and giving them ideas for work. I bet you that his company share prices will drop, mark my words mister. And it's good that I am not hired by such a judgmental company!" she blasts all her emotions into him.
She could see his shocked face with him gritting his teeth.
She smirked as she got her revenge for his nonsense behavior, she is still shocked that how some billionaire company can have a such cheap mindset. Rolling her eyes she left that place immediately. It's not like she will regret what she did right there.
While going, she again starts speaking to herself "Ava Jones! cheer up, get rid of your thoughts about that idiot. Get your interview in another good company, get hired, and pay your bills. okay!"
*Meanwhile the CEO of Nichols Company POV*
"Get me all the share prices of the company in which Ava jones previously worked, from starting today to next month."
"Yes sir! his most trusted employee spoke and went from his office.
"Ava jones huh!? Now I want to play" he spoke while smirking.
