Chapter 30 - Designers

Damion sat on the couch of his house scrolling through the reports of the designers Darius sent to him, and honestly, he wasn't too impressed, but he knew he still had to give them a chance he had already set up an interview meeting by 2 in the afternoon, it was still morning so he decided to just rest on the couch, the gathering yesterday wearied him down as many issues sprang up, he knew Charles wasn't going to let him off, he also had to look for a way to Know Reginald true intensions he, though he claimed he was watching a good show, he felt that there was something more to it.

Damion was about to ponder more on it when he was distracted by his ringtone, checking it he realized it was Philip who was calling him

" Hey Philip good morning" Damion said picking the cell

" Damion good morning too, are you busy" Philip asked over the phone

" Not really, do you need help with something" Damion asked

" No I just want to talk to you and see how you're doing, since you aren't busy, it's 11am now meet me Katie's café shop in an hour" Philip replied and cut the call

"Well there goes my rest" Damion said to himself as he leaned his head on the couch

Just then a sweet sugary scent drafted into his nose from the kitchen, he turned his face towards the direction and watched as Theo brought out some steaming cupcakes from the oven

Since morning Theo had been trying a new recipe with Ned on baking cupcakes, truth be told Damion haven't had one of those before even though he knew the name, he wasn't allowed to eat such things, he only ate certain foods, it was only on his birthdays that Max was allowed to bring a cake to him.

" Come on Ned this one has got to be different" Theo said stuffing some of it into Ned mouth

" Yeah this one is a bit chewier than the last batch" Ned replied and swallowing the cake

" That's not what I mean, I am talking about the taste" Theo groaned in frustration

" Can I have a try" Damion asked walking into the kitchen

" Sure, come on" Theo immediately ushered Damion to a stool shooing Ned away

Damion grabbed a cupcake and dropped instantly due the hotness of the cake

" Has you can't just grab a cupcake that came out of an oven" Theo said examining Damion's palm that has just turned red

" Yeah the one Theo gave me was a part that was already cooled down" Ned added

" Sorry a still a bit new to all this" Damion said putting his palm inside some cool water

" Don't worry you will soon get used to it, try this one" Thoe gave him some cupcake after he pulled his palm out of his water

" Umm this tastes really great" Damion praised 

" Yeah but to a newbie in cupcakes everything would probably taste great, sigh Ned I guess we have to continue" Theo said much to Ned tiredness, he had eaten so many cupcakes that he thinks he will get sick soon

Damion stayed with them a bit before moving towards the café, he would rather not drive so he just took a cab on getting there he realized he was 10 minutes early, he got in and found a good spot to wait for Philip

5 minutes later Damion spotted Philip walking in and signaled him to come over and take a sit opposite him

" How have you been doing Gustavo" Philip asked using another name since they were outside

" Well it's been going good" Damion replied

" Ok, how did the gathering yesterday go" Philip asked since he was informed that Damion would be going

" It went off to a great start, I don't duped into staying longer than I wanted, Charles acting also reached a profound level" Damion said taking a sip of the cup chino a waitress dropped

" Yeah, anything else I should know" Philip asked tapping the table

" Seems like you already know" Damion replied

" Yeah I heard something but I still want to hear your side" Philip replied

" Well, I provoked Charles and rejected him in front of the adult's gathering, I gave Andrew a small beating for harassing me and Ned, also for some reason I seem to have warranted the attention of the old man Reginald Cartel" Damion said all at once

" Christ, Gustavo you have to be more careful, am not going to ask what started it because you have your reasons, but You have to be a bit more careful around them, if they should start investigating you, and they find out whom you truly are what's next? Try to stay away from them, especially the old man" Philip advised

" Yeah I know, and I understand" Damion replied gratefully

"Great" Philip replied

They talked for a while before Philip left for another appointment, checking the time it was around 10 minutes to 1, though it was time for the interview, Damion thought it wouldn't hurt to go early to the company and see how it's doing

He took another cab to the company and was impressed with its current renovation, the weeds were gone, the building had been repainted and there were some CCTV cameras planted around the building. In short the building was a sharp contrast to how it looked before

Damion walked into the company and nodded at the security men manning the door from inside, and took the elevator towards the CEO office

*************************************

" Did you see that, he just walked in" A brown haired girl whispered to her friend who was hiding behind the trees opposite the company

" Yeah but probably because he is walking there" Her friend who had black hair with strokes of blue replied

" Come on you saw him right, he is most likely just around 19 so what could he possibly be working there as, Kendall this is your chance to get a job, you are a fantastic designer, and you can definitely get the job though you weren't invited…" 

" Mika!"

" Okay am sorry look, the time for the interview is 2 right, so we can just wait until two, and then I will cause a distraction for you to sneak in and do your interview" Mika suggested

" No it won't work, remember they are under new management so we might not be able to get in" Kendall replied dejectedly

" But we can't give up now, we have to try something" Mika replied

" Let's wait a bit than maybe we can do something" Kendall replied

" Hey what if we approach that kid for help, I mean he is the best we have got right" Mika asked

" Yeah we can try our luck because honestly, I think we would be kicked out if we dared you idea" Kendell replied

"Huh ungrateful" Mika pouted

Back in the company, Damion spent some time going through the various levels as an intern, he didn't want much attention so he asked the board members to keep his identity a secret, after inspection, it was time for the interview so he went to the meeting room with Darius and Sonia to conduct the interview

During the interview Damion was greatly depressed, none of their designs had originality, Darius and Sonia also shared the same thoughts

" Sigh what to do" Damion muttered

" Frankly I don't think they are taking us seriously" Darius spoke with a bit of rage

" Yeah, I mean do they think we would just take in anybody because we're desperate" Sonia clenched her fists in anger

" Guys you don't need to worry let's end it here, Darius I appreciate the work you did, but it seems like we need more" Damion said

" Understood, this time I would thoroughly check them before inviting them for an interview" Darius replied

" Okay Sonia, Darius am I leaving I would see you guys later in the next board meeting" Damion said getting up

" Let's see you out" Sonia said getting up

" No, that won't be necessary" Damion waved his hands

" Come on don't be shy plus as an 'intern' getting into the bosses good graces would be great" Darius said nudging him

"Fine" Damion reluctantly agreed

On exiting the company, a black-haired girl with strokes of blue approached them, with the way she walked she looked quite nervous

" Can we help you with something" Darius asked

" Yes…No EMM I just want to speak with him" She said pointing at Damion

" Why?" Sonia squinted her eyes and asked

"Is okay" Damion said

Sonia and Darius glanced at each other before giving them space, but their eyes remained on them.

"Well" Damion gestured for her to speak

" EMM my name is Kendall, could you get me into the company for the interview, I know I wasn't invited but am really good" Kendall replied

" You're a designer?" Damion asked in a shocking tone

" Yes, these are some of my designs" Kendall handed over some papers from her pocket

" This! Sonia, Darius come and take a look at these" Damion called them over

"Wow" Sonia exclaimed when she saw them

"So original" Darius said

Damion gave them both a look, which they caught on and faced her

" What's your name" Sonia asked

" Miss Kendall" She replied

" Okay miss Kendall be here by 10 tomorrow for a full interview" Darius instructed

" Ohh, thank you, I will be there" She replied and ran towards another girl with shouting

" Well I guess we are having a designer after all" Damion said thoughtfully
