Chapter 5 - CHAPTER 5

Roselle's P.O.V

I woke up early to dress up quickly so I can get to the interview before time, I don't want to be late like last time.

I was lucky to get another opportunity the last time, I don't think I'll be again if I leave late.

Since my dad said I can use the car anytime I guess I can still avoid them for the time being, no need to ask for permission. I don't know if the offer still stands after what I did at dinner yesterday, but I'll risk it.

I left my room silently and prayed to God, my parents aren't downstairs, luckily for me, the lounge room is clear, so I left quickly like my ass was on fire, I'm really scared to confront them both, I was really disrespectful yesterday.

I started the car quickly and when I looked up, I noticed my mum was staring at me from a window upstairs, she gave me a small smile before leaving and I just looked dumbfounded before snapping out of it and leaving.

...

"Good morning" I greeted the secretary after I've been directed upstairs again, she should be the one who called me, I guess.

"Good morning, Miss Grey I presume?" She asked staring at me, and I nodded.

"Yes, that's me" I said.

"You came right on time, the boss will be interviewing you himself since you'll be working with him directly, just walk down the door by your right, that is his office " she explained, and I became more nervous.

"Thank you" I said before following her direction.

I stood in front of the wooden door scared out of my mind before getting the courage to knock the door.

"Come in" I heard a deep voice call, and I sighed shakily before opening the door and entering.

The first thing I noticed was the decor of the office and I'm wowed by it.

I couldn't fantasize much as my eyes landed on the person behind the desk and my jaw dropped open.

Leonardo King.

The sole owner of King's Empire, I have always seen one or two pictures of him, he tries to stay off the media but there's little to nothing you can do to avoid the press.

His beauty alone is enough to earn him a great career. His ocean blue eyes always seem to contrast with his deep red hair but I think they fit perfectly with his slightly tanned skin. His face is so well sculpted I'm starting to think he did plastic surgery.

Dayumm.

"Can I help you?" He asked irritated. I think he must have been trying to get my attention while I shamelessly starred at his face.

"Yes, actually I came for the interview" I said blushing, if I had a lighter skin, I'm sure my face will be red right now.

"Miss Grey?" He asked and I nodded before seeing he wasn't looking at me again.

"Yes sir" I answered.

"Have a seat" he said, and I quietly moved to the seat in front of him and sat.

He kept going through some papers before nodding his head then he starred up at me again and I want to melt.

Now that I'm closer to where he is it's difficult not starring at his well sculpted face.

"Why should I employ you?" He asked sitting back and relaxing into his chair.

"I've got the qualification and I have experience in working at two different companies before" I said bodly.

"Why did you leave the companies you were at before?" He asked.

"I was promoted from an host to the company's director which made them move me to the company closer to my home and I left the company because my family had to move" I explained and he nodded.

"In your CV here, I can see you've worked as a host and a director but how will I be sure you can handle the job of a personal assistant"

"I can assure you I'll be able to take the load" I said simply.

He starred at me before nodding his head.

"As my personal assistant, you have to be in my house as early as 6:30 and you will be free to go home whenever I'm done for the day, most workers leave the office by 6 but I stay later than that and if I travel you have to follow" he stated, and I just stared at him.

6:30!

Is he serious?

"If you are not okay with the offer you might as well leave" he said impatiently.

"No I'm okay with it but it's just 6:30 isn't that too early?" I asked.

"It is to people who sit back and waste their lives away watching tv, my workers resume work by 7am and I need review of my schedule before getting to the office which is why you should be at my place 30mins before 7am, and don't worry, my driver will be the one driving us to office and sometimes drop you at your house" he said irritated, is he always irritated or am I the one giving him problems.

I can tell he doesn't like talking much but I'm making him talk a whole lot so I guess I'm the reason he's irritated.

"Ohh okay sir" I said.

"Then it's done, you resume tomorrow, you can talk to Miss Pearson and she'll tell you about your pay and all" he said and I know he's indirectly dismissing me.

"Thank you" I said standing up but I don't know how my leg got tangled with the chair because next thing I know I was face flat on the floor.

I heard him cursing under his breath but he made no move to help me so I just stood up with the little shame I have left, I left the room after apologizing, I can't believe I embarrassed myself like that in front of Leonardo King, really!!

"How did it go?" Miss Pearson asked once I reached her desk.

"I got the job" I said happily and she smiled at me.

"Congratulations honey, I can't wait to have someone else on this floor, it gets boring sometimes" she said before handing me some papers.

"Those are the contract, the boss schedule for the week and some other things you'll need, any information you will need about the job is already in the contract" she explained, and I smiled thanking her.

I guess I'm a worker at King's Empire now.

....

I packed the car in the garage, and I dreaded going inside to face my parents, but I know it's something I have to do one day but I don't think I'm ready now.

I opened the door and entered, and I'm met with both my parents sitting in the lounge like they were waiting for me.

"Hi" I said and tried to walk away quickly before they decide to stop me but I guess luck is not on my side as I heard my dad's voice.

"Roselle"
