The next day was a cool Friday, the beginning of the weekend . A fun filled weekend for Isabel and Lilly as they plan to explore restaurants , cinemas and the beach.
Isabel really hoped they would be able to go to all these places especially the beach. She wished to explore the city before work starts.
She had received a mail from one of the companies she applied to work . She applied for the post of the C.E.O's Secretary, the only available vacancy.
Lilly told her it was quite low of her to apply as a Secretary after a college degree but Isabel was adamant. She would rather take up the job than just sit around doing nothing especially since her passion for art was just a mere hobby and all plans to monetize it had failed woefully.
She would keep trying but first things first.
"Better a Secretary to the C.E.O than nothing" she thought as she scrutinized her wardrobe for the perfect outfit to wear.
Isabel thought that an interview on a Friday is funny but she dare not miss the opportunity.
Lilly walked back into the room from the kitchen to see her cousin fully dressed in a cooperate wear.
"The interview is today?" She asked surprised.
Isabel just nodded as she did the final touch to her natural looking makeup.
"What?!" Lilly scoffed. "They literally just emailed you this morning."
Isabel sighed "I really do not get it why they would send a mail on the morning of the interview"
"I honestly don't get what they are trying to prove though" her cousin rolled her eyes dramatically.
Isabel giggled as she walked out of the room, her heels clacking "I'll see you in a bit."
"Good luck" Lilly said as she goes back to bed ready to sleep the morning away since she could not decide on what to have for breakfast.
Few minutes later Isabel was walking into one of the biggest company in LA, Ronnies empire. She strolled into the big reception, the atmosphere reeked of class and money.
Good looking men and women went about their businesses in expensive work clothes.
Isabel figured immediately that the pay had to be good for them to be able to look this exotic.
The receptionist, a girl that looked the same age as Isabel smiled warmly. She was dressed in a designer black coperate dress.
The reception smelled of different sweet cologne.
"I'm here for an interview" Isabel said returning the girl's polite smile.
"The post of the C.E.O's Secretary?" She asked.
Isabel nodded "yes".
The girl gave her a small pass and asked her to walk towards the hall to the first office by the right.
The office was well lit and filled with plants, obviously a plant mom/dad's office. A smallish man in grey suits sat on the huge chair behind the table. His glasses sat on the rim of his nose and his eyes danced as he scrutinized her.
" Hi I'm here for the interview" she managed to say with a nervous smile plastered on her face.
The CEO did not look anything like she had expected , he looked way older than what she had imagined. She felt a wave of disappointment as she studied her environment , working for younger people might be easier than working for older people.
Of course Lilly had told her that and she believed because her older cousin had more experience with work and people than she does.
"Have your seat, I am your interviewer" he said with a stern look on his face .
Maybe his face was just like that but a small smile would help.
She sat gently and shifted uncomfortably as the silence that followed felt really awkward.
"The CEO made his requirements clear and I hope you meet those , good luck miss…." He looked at her raising his brow in question.
"Isabel" she answered quietly.
He was not the CEO. She let out a small sigh.
"What a relief" she thought.
The interview lasted for about thirty minutes.
"We would email you the result of the interview before the end of the day" he said shifting his attention back to the computer.
"Thank you" she said.
She walked out of the office with high hopes because she met more than half of the CEO's requirements, except that she did not attend a private university.
She felt a bit annoyed about that because if she had attended a private university she would not be here applying to be a secretary.
The receptionist greeted her with the same warm smile as she made her way to the door .
"Good luck" she waved.
Isabel mouthed a thank you grinning from ear to ear.
A familiar face caught her attention as she was about to step out of the reception and the smile on her face turned to genuine shock. It was the handsome stranger she made out with at the party. He looked really hot in his white shirt and navy blue pants, he had no tie on and the first two buttons of his shirt was undone.
"Why would he dress to work looking this hot?" She thought.
Her heart missed a beat as he walked past her without turning to look at her . He did not act like he recognized her, his expression was hard to read. She watched him walk majestically to the elevator and immediately looked away as he turned to face her. She could feel his gaze pierce through her back as the elevator door closed.
She sighed not believing her eyes , what a coincidence? why did he have to work at the same company she was going to work ? Even though she had not gotten a feedback yet , she was eighty percent sure the job was hers.
Maybe he didn't even work at the company afterall , he might have come for other business.
She got in the taxi with the thought of the handsome man filling her head. She regretted her decision not to say hello, she could have least spoken to him.
She wondered if he saw her and pretended like he didn't , or if he really did not see her. Maybe he could not even recognize her anymore.
"Shit!" She muttered under her breathe.
She was hoping to see him again but not this fast and definitely not this way. She wanted to finish what they started , she wanted his tongue in her inner thighs .
Most importantly she wanted him in her life.
