Two days later,
Kayla's POV:
I was searching for more jobs in the websites when my cell phone rang.
"Hello," I picked up the call without looking at the screen. I was bookmarking jobs in the website. My backbone was aching for sitting up for so long.
"Hello, am I speaking to Miss Kayla Frost?" A familiar female voice asked.
"Yes, speaking." I answered, turning my attention in the phone call.
"I am from Divaz International Pvt Ltd. You have attended an interview two days ago for the post of junior designer. You are selected for this job. You will start from 6th March. Come to the company at 8.30 am." She informed.
"Um. Okay. Thank you." I said. I couldn’t believe it, but still I finished the conversation.
After hanging up, I made a victory dance.
"Yay! I did it!"
But something sure crossed my mind. The CEO didn’t judge me depending on the fact that I had sex with a stranger. Rather, they judged me for my skills and quality.
I had the qualification, I won several awards, participated in many fashion contests and I was a worthy candidate. Of course I would be selected. Besides, I was sure that the interviewers saw my potentials as well.
The overly proud Kayla Frost said internally.
If I could complete 8 months working here, then I would get my own company.
I couldn’t wait for this any longer.
It was a happy occasion and called for a celebration. And celebration meant shopping a lot of beautiful dresses. I must make a good impression in the company.
Humming a song, I entered the bathroom. After taking a nice bath, I came out. Making myself a nutritious lunch of chicken rice and seafood chowder, I headed out for the shopping mall.
...................................
The first day at work,
Finally, today was the day I was going to start my job. And apart from showing a good performance, my aim was to avoid the CEO as much as I could.
While searching a car in Uber, I huffed in annoyance. No car was available at this moment.
A personal car was more than necessary now that I had got a job. I didn’t want to be late everyday or worry to arrive my workplace in time.
I started walking and after half an hour later, finally got a taxi. I was already so sweaty. My beautiful dress, expensive perfume everything got ruined.
I swore on my blood that I would buy a car within a week. I reached the company in time somehow.
"Hello, I am Kayla Frost. I was selected for the post of Junior Designer. Where should I go?" I asked the receptionist.
"Oh. Go to the 5th floor, Human Resource Office. After your documentation is done, you will start right away." The young receptionist smiled at me.
"Thank you." I smiled back.
I couldn’t help getting mesmerized by the architectural beauty of this building. It was a small building but architects sure did their works.
I reached the Human resource office and got my documents signed. There was a condition in the appointment letter, if any one resigned before six months, he/she would have to pay 100,000$ as compensation with the salary given to him/her.
I heard about compensation before too. But this much! It was insane.
There were four more junior designers appointed with me.
Two female and two male.
"Before you begin, our CEO would like to have some words with you." The human resource manager spoke. I thought he was talking about the branch CEO of Divaz.
We, the new designers were called in a room where the CEO was sitting.
But no, he was talking about CEO of Shield Group, Brandon Shield.
My throat dried at that moment. No matter how much I tried to act nonchalant, I couldn’t help feeling uneasy.
The man was handsome without any doubt. But now looked manlier, more mature in his custom made grey Armani suit.
"Congratulations to all of you for getting selected. I wouldn’t take much of your time. I am the CEO of Shield groups but still I was involved in the recruitment of you. I expect that you won't disappoint my company and our company will get great things from you guys. And I want you to make you sure about 3 things. 1. Never try to betray my company. If I ever get to know any of my employees got behind my back, no one can save him/her from me. I will destroy the person. I can tolerate anything but betrayal." He stared, his face hardened instantly. For a spilt of a second, his handsome face resembled a beast and I winced internally. I eyed my would be colleagues, their expression mirrored mine. All of them gulped.
"If you show your dedication for your job and this company, I promise you that the company will never disappoint you. You will get bonus, increments, promotions based on your performance. Your medical fees will be covered by the company itself if needed." He expressed.
"Soon we are going to launch our new summer collection and this year, I want my company to stand out as the best. Hope you will be able to give the best of yours. Now everyone can go except Miss Frost." He said.
I raised a brow. Why did he want me alone?
Everyone left the room leaving me alone with the handsome hunk.
"Sir, what did you want to say privately?" I queried.
"Have a seat, Miss Frost." He smirked.
Shit those lips! I would be lying if I said my core didn’t clench at the sight. I imagined how that pair of lips moved along the seam of my pussy the other night.
"Come out of your daydream, Miss Frost. Whatever you are thinking will not happen here. At least not now." He chuckled.
My cheeks grew hot, I was blazing red. Was he a thought reader?
But who he was to embarrass me? Who gave him that right?
"Sir, please tell me what do you want to say? Today is my first day. I don't think you asked me to stay back to talk about what I think and what I don't." I urged.
"Whatever happened between us in the hotel, don't speak anything about it to anyone, Miss Frost."
"Hotel! What hotel? I don't understand what you are talking about. Sir. I met you first time in the day of the interview." I said.
His eyes lit up as he got my words. I also didn’t want any rumor going in the company that I fucked my boss to get any extra advantage. Office rumors can get extremely nasty.
"You will shine in life." He smiled.
"If that's all, then may I leave and join the rest of my colleagues? I guess the more time I am here, the more chances people will get to suspect things." I reminded him.
"Sure, best of luck. Hope me and my company both will get many things from you." He said.
Nodding, I left the room. His last sentence was itching inside my mind. I didn’t know why I felt like there was a double meaning behind this sentence.
Whatever! I would avoid him at any cost.
I quickly returned to the human resource office where they led me my workplace.
As we were junior designers, we couldn’t get our personal cabin. We got separate office cubicles. To be honest, the cubicles were clean and spacious enough. I started my first day inside the beautifully designed cubicle. Our senior designer lectured us on how to do works and gave some assignments.
I was working but suddenly a male voice called me.
"Hey!"
I looked up to see it was one of my fellow designers. He was a slim and tall guy, most probably in her mid twenties. Light freckles on his face and his brown curly hair made him look younger, like a school kid.
"We are all going to grab a lunch in the cafeteria. Why don't you join us?" He smiled.
I looked at my wrist watch. It was lunch time indeed. I didn’t notice that we were working for so long.
I headed to the cafeteria with them. We were five in total. We ate and talked, got to know everyone. They were Mitchell, Jim, Tommy, Teresa.
They all were aspiring fashion designers hailing from outside of California.

Brandon's POV: I entered inside the room and my eyes widened like fucking donuts.Kayla was wearing a black lacey panty and nothing else.

Kayla's POV:Few days later,After what happened in Paris, Brandon didn’t try to contact me in any way and I returned California the next day.Everything was going usual. We were busy planning and designing for autumn collection. As the summer collection was a record-breaking hit, customers normally had a lot of expectations from this company.My supervisor was giving me extra pressure. After days of experimenting, sleepless nights, when I came with some unique ideas, she saw the sketches.I didn’t know why, but she looked personally annoyed at me. She was trying to point out my mistakes purposefully. And it's the eighth time that she made me modify the same design. And by now my patience was wearing thin.Goddamn old lady looking at me like I was some kind of nuisance. I wondered which harm I did to her or her whole clan.

Kayla's POV:"I am really very sorry and ashamed of the way I behaved with you that day. I was being meaninglessly stubborn and proud that I didn’t even consider how you might feel. I apologize for that and if needs I am even ready to kneel, please forgive me." Mr. Shield pleaded joining his hands I was shocked.He looked truly guilty and remorseful. And he was much older than me. To see him like this, begging, it didn’t feel right at all. I

Brandon's POV:Kayla, where is he?" I asked, my voice came out impatient."H-he c-couldn’t make it," She hiccuped in between her cries. Her chest rumbled from the force of sobbing.And it felt like I was hit by a lighting straight. I couldn’t believe my ears. For a second, it felt like my body was going numb.
