If disrespect was a person, it was definitely going to be this rude thing that blocked her path and still didn't help her.
Her butt landed heavily on the tiled expensive floor, her butt was in severe pain, as she rubbed her head like a jelly fish.
"Whose that?"
"What is she doing?",
Many of them whispered but no one came to help her up at all, they all kept their distance. With a sigh, she stood up and angrily stared at who fell her and her eyes met with the most handsome devil like face she had ever seen.
Her face lit up and her jaw dropped, what kind of sorcery was this?, How could anyone be as handsome as this?. It was like he was sent to earth to show them what beauty was.
His chiseled angled face, coupled with the brown hair that swirled at his face, his brown eyes was so serious but they still looked beautiful. His plump lips glimmered as if they where rubbed with lipgloss.
"Who are you?",the deep thick voice resonated. Her body and soul felt drawn to the thick voice, how wonderful.
"Am talking to you fool",he thundered angrily. Layla was forced out of her trance at his thick voice that spoke volumes to her. But his voice was scary, so scary that she felt goosebumps all over her body, she shivered. Looking round,she found everybody that was available far away from them, they too shivered at the scary voice.
"Am..am..",she tried coming up with something to say but she couldn't, what could she say? When it wasn't her fault and it was clear that this fearful man won't like the blame.
But she didn't needed to think more because the scary good-looking man just walked past her, not blinking an eye at her again.
What a relief.
"This way ma'am",the receptionist was back, leading her to an elevator.
"Who was that?",Layla asked as soon as they got into the elevator, her eyes bore curiosity, it was so intense that the receptionist cringed a little.
"That the big boss. The owner of the company",she responded.
Layla jaw dropped, how nice of her to anger the owner of the company on just her interview day? What if they didn't take her?, Julia would be so disappointed and sad for days.
"Come with me",
They came out of the elevator and walked into some quiet beautiful passage, white colored doors was at each side with some letters written at them.
Both ladies shoe clicked softly at the tiles, but the sound resonated, because the silentness was too much.
"If am going to work at this side, I'll be doomed before I start", Layla thought with a smile on her face.
"What makes you smile?",the receptionist asked, wondering why the lady was smiling weirdly.
"Nothing",she quickly replied, her face red with embarrassment.
"This is his office",she said, they where standing at the front of a big white door with 'manager' written boldly at the door.
She knocked at the door softly, a monotone voice called them in.
The receptionist opened the door and Layla was dumbstruck at the office, was this a office? Or a big house.
The interior of the office was made to the finest taste, beautiful glimmer sparkle brightly.
The window was wide open with a white soft curtain gently dancing with the wind.
The big A.C in the room, chilled the place comfortably, calming the skin, as if soothing it from it hardship from the sun.
A big black table with a computer ontop lay at the corner of room, close to the window.
Two office chairs faced the table, opposite the fat man on a single chair.
"Sir, miss robert",the receptionist bowed a little.
Layla just stood like a statue as she studied the fat pot belly man that screamed wealth.
"Have your seat dear. You can leave mia",the fat man said.
The receptionist left shutting the door before her.
"So where are your credentials?",the man asked.
"Right here sir",she handed over an envelope.
He went through the files, nodding his head slowly.
"You have quite a good record miss",he credited.
"Thank you sir",she smiled, her face glowing like a light with a cherry as reflection.
"Are you sure you can handle the hardship?",he asked, he placed the papers at the table as he studied the beautiful lady opposite him.
"Trust me sir, I can", Layla assured.
"Have you done this kind of job before, or any type of job?"
"..n.o...No sir", Layla answered. This was her only problem in finding a job, no one wanted to employ anybody without experience.
"Ok...",the man drew out a breath.
"Why do you want to work here?",
How would she know that?
Because of money? What else?
"Am just... looking for an experience",she lied through her teeth.
"Okay then. Well am sorry to say this but I can't employ you miss. Am sorry. We need one with experience",
There was it again, just like before.
Her heart broke, and her face fell.
All this was for nothing?
How would she go back to julia and tell her she didn't get the job. Julia would be heartbroken. They needed the money so badly, they needed the job. How would they feed without the job?
"Am sorry miss",the man consoled.
Layla was too lost in her world to listen to him, why would she ? When he just refused her the only way for she and Julia to survive.
"But...sir.. please is there anything I can do, as long as I get paid",she asked frantically, her voice broken.
"No miss, like I said, we need someone with experience because this job isn't easy and we can not avoid any mistakes",
The phone at the table vibrated,
" Please excuse me miss",he answered the call.
Layla knew this was her call to leave but she couldn't bring herself to stand up, maybe she could coax the man.
"What do you mean fired? Who fired him?",the fat man voice vibrated with anger.
What was happening? Layla couldn't help but feel her curiosity heighten.
"Why did he do that?",the fat man soon got tired as he ran out of air because of his shouting.
"Okay then",he ended the call and soon notice the lady. She was still here?
Thank goodness.
"Well miss, you have been employed",he broke the news to her with a tired tone.
Layla was shocked and happy at the same time.
"We don't have any available person for the job and we don't have time to look for anyone, you have been employed as the assistant manager to the CEO".
Layla eyes where as wide as a saucer, her jaw dropped. That position wasn't even what she came here for.
"What....do ..you mean?",
But suddenly the door opened, Layla was distracted and she turned around, only to see the rude man who she ran into, standing with an air of authority and power.
"Here is the man you would be working for" ,the fat man broke the terrible news
