It was Mr Lawson, the Voice of Limited as he was affectionately call.
"The Lord be with you" Mr. Lawson said as he closes the prayers.
As I open my eyes, everyone were seated already. I was the only one standing.
How embarrassing I murmur as I sit down.
Hi everyone, it is time for the big announcement.
This company has been scouting for a Face for over two years.
I am proud to announce that we have got the big break. With a standing ovation, let us clap as we welcome the "face of Limited", Mr Lawson said.
Everyone immediately stands up and begin to clap.
As I stood up, the smiles from my colleagues rays the hall.
Thanks to everyone for this big opportunity to represent Limited as a face. This is a life time opportunity and I can't be more grateful, tears rolls down my cheeks as I speak.
The papers to sign is place before me and my hands felt cold and shaking as I sign.
Tomorrow by 3:30pm is going to be your photo shoot section for the project of the Bill board, Mr James the Head of project committe says.
The meeting is adjourn and we meet in our various offices later.
Rome walks over to me. "Congratulations," she says. Miss Ugly, she wishpers.
I hear her loud and clear and smiles at her like she had just complimented me.
Your mean attitude wouldn't get you anywhere you know?
Why don't you just accept the fact that I am the new face of Limited ? I ask with disdain.
I was very excited to focus on Rome's attitude. I walk out of the hall and was headed for the stairs.
Rome follows me hurrily.
Before you run out of this building and run mad, can you please follow me to your office.
We passed a hall and turn left, I had never seen this side of the building.
As we walk pass three doors, the fourth door had an inscription and it reads
"Face of Limited ".
Well, "What is your name?" Rome ask.
My name is Princess Iris King. Turning my eyes with pleasure.
"Did you just say Princess to irritate me?"
Rome sniffles.
Whatever, thanks for bringing me over to my office.
I pushed the beautiful chocolate wooden door.
As I enter, my office appears to be such a beautiful and restful place to be. The curtains had my favourite colours.
Royal blue and Peach.
I sits in my chair behind the desk and starts to look around. I didn't apply for this. I apply just for an ordinary Job, I said to myself.
"Hello," my best friend answers my call.
I am so excited and can't wait to get home. Today has been an emotional roller coastal for me, positively of course.
Wow! Liz sigh in excitement. I can wait for you to tell me all about it.
But first, have you met your boss? Is he handsome?
You won't be- lieve it, I stutter as my office door is pushed wide open.
My jaw drops open as he stood at the door with a basket in his hand.
Its was Mr Hades Wellington.
Uhmm, I will call you in a jiffy, I said to Liz.
She drops the phone as the dial signs.
He drops the basket on my desk.
Who was that? he asks.
It is my best friend Liz, I reply.
The one I told you got rejected.
Oh okay, we will settle that later, he says.
"It has been a long and tiring day and you must be hungry," he said.
Opening the basket and the smell of good food fills the room.
Sir, this is too much, I complain.
Shhhh, he said. "Will you eat before I drop you off at home?"
Lost for words I nodded my head sighing yes.
It is a Spicy Pepperoni Pizza and a cup of smoothie and that is my favorite.
How did he know this is my favorite? I ask myself while taking a bite. Not wanting to be talking whilst eating, I keep quiet.
Can I eat with you? he asks.
Sure Sir ; after all ,you bought this.
He smiles and took a slice of pizza in a tiny plate and starts to eat.
I immediately feel attracted to him but must try to hide it at all cost.
After eating, I put up a conversation.
Boss, if I may ask, are you married?
I ask trying not be intrusive and loud.
Well, as the famous CEO of Limited, I personally don't think you could ask such question, he said.
I am so sorry for asking Sir, please forgive me, I speak out of fear.
Oh no! it is okay to ask but what I mean is the open rumors going all around and people have concluded they know me better than I know myself, Mr Wellington said.
Unfortunately, it is like you ain't a rumor mongol. Or else, how wouldn't you know that I am divorced? he picks up the basket.
Sir ! He interrupts me before I could speak further.
Can you just Choose a name to call me rather than call me Sir? he ask.
Everything is happening so fast. Am I dreaming? Touching myself in unbelieve. This is just my first day at work and I am not suppose to call my boss Sir?
Lost in thoughts, he grabs my hand and starts to pull me out of the office.
Collect your things let's go so that I drop you home.
You must be exhausted, Mr Wellington says.
I pick my school bag up and heads fir the car.
Wells, yes Wells. I will call him Wells, my heart was smiling with a no kind of expression face.
Sitting in a car the cost millions is a dream come through, even though it isn't my car.
Hehehe, I laughs out loud.
Now, that you have broken the silence.
What is it? Wells ask.
Stuck for words, I fumble over my word and finally said. It feels like paradise.
This is exactly what makes you different , he said.
You are never afraid to express the exact way you feel or see things, Wells compliments me with a Smile on his face.
On the other hand, this apply to a casual thing but not to my emotional side.
Well, this is true, I respond.
Not telling Wells where I live, he surprisingly parks right in front of my house.
Here, you are home by 5:30pm. This is your official closing time, although you will not work everyday, Wells said.
Why would I not work everyday Wells? I asks.
Is that what you choose to call me? he says.
Yes, even though it slipped out. I was honest.
Tomorrow is another day so chill, he said as he pulls away.
