Chapter 4_ Interview

ALEX'S POV:

I smiled in joy.

Does it mean that I can now go for the interview?

I laughed with so much excitement as I thought about it.

When the bus came I quickly got in and put coins inside the coin box.

I sat down beside the window and rest my head against it. The chilly weather, couple with the scanty bus made everywhere so calm and lonely.

When I got to where I'm gon' stop, I quickly got down from the bus and tightened my hand around my bag.

This particular location is known for pickpockets at night.

 I started running until I got to the house, I walk inside the house and saw Oliver my elder brother eating.

“Finally you're back, heard from dad that you got a fake face." He said and I rolled my eyes, I knew this is what he wanted to say.

"My face, my money," I replied and walk inside the kitchen.

I checked all the pots inside the kitchen and cabins but there was no eatable food here.

I should have got something for myself before coming home.

I left the kitchen and walk to my room.

I throw myself on the bed and fixed my gaze on the ceiling.

Tomorrow morning I'll be in Lockwood Inc, I'm feeling nervous and also very excited.

I dropped my bag on the bed and zipped it open, I saw a snack that I didn't eat earlier inside the bag and I tear it open.

While munching on my snacks, I was also scrolling through my Facebook account reading all the memes and laughing my heart out.

To some, social media might not be good for them, but me.

Social media is my best friend and my life, without social media my life will be more than boring.

NEXT DAY.

I brought out my pink knee-length gown and press it with iron then put on makeup on my face…..well my fake face after which I wore my clothes, after wearing the pink gown, I wore my black jean jacket along with it.

I hope it doesn't make me look old.

I slipped my leg inside my sandals and took my purse and phone off course before walking out of my room.

Everywhere was calm and quiet so I guess everyone already left.

I walk out of the house and flag down a cab.

"Taxi!"

I quickly got inside and sat down.

"Lockwood Inc, drop me in the front building please," I told the taxi man.

"Okay."

Thirty minutes later the cab stopped in front of the company.

My mouth dropped open at the sight of the huge building.

"What the f**k?" I whispered.

"The building is huge right? It is own by Killian Lockwood of course it will be huge." The cabman said as I hand over his money to him.

I stood rooted for about five minutes, watching the huge company and men and women in corporate dresses walking in and out of it.

God bless me if I don't get sent out for wearing pink.

I started walking towards the front door and when I got there, there were two guards in front of the door.

The door was pulled open for me and I walk in.

Everywhere was neat and classy, I look out of place.

"Hi there, are you here to see someone?" A blonde sitting behind a desk asked me.

"Hi, I'm looking for the Chief Secretary to Mr. Lockwood, Mr. Kai Adonis," I told her. She looked at me weirdly and looked back at her computer.

"Any previous appointment?" She questioned.

"No, he told me to be here this morning, my name is Alexandria Davis," I responded.

"Oh miss Davis, excuse my manners." She said and picked up the telephone on her desk.

☎Miss Davis is here, should I send her up?☎ she speaks on the telephone.

☎Okay Sir☎

She dropped the telephone and nodded at me.

"Follow the elevator and press floor thirty, Mr. Adonis will be there shortly." She explained.

"Oh thank you," I smiled and walk away from her.

Alex, just look at the building owned by the man you want to marry.

You sure have a high taste.

I got inside the elevator with a bunch of peoples and I pressed the thirty button.

The people inside the elevator were looking at me weirdly. I guess it is because of my dress.

After so much stopping and dinging, the elevator finally carried me to the floor where I'm going.

I walk out of the elevator and took a deep breath.

You can do this Alexandria.

Another blonde was walking towards me with a straight face.

"Your jacket." She said and I quickly remove it from my body and gave it to her.

"This way please."  She added pointing that I should follow her.

I followed behind closely until she opened a large door at the end of the hallway.

"Mr. Adonis is waiting for you in there." She told me and I nodded.

I took in a deep breath and exhale then walk inside through the large door, trying to comport myself and not to act clumsy.

A man was sitting down on a couch, pressing his iPad. He was so engrossed in the iPad that I am sure he didn't know I was there until I cleared my throat.

"Hi, you must be miss Davis. Nice to meet you." He said in a cold icy voice.

I don't think it felt nice to meet me.

His eyes were studying my dress while he shakes my hand.

"Likewise Mr. Adonis," I replied.

"Have a seat please let's get to business." He said pointing at the couch in front of him.

I sat down quietly and glance around the room.

He stood up and walk over to his desk.

He picked up the telephone and ordered something that I didn't hear.

When he came back to his seat, he scrolls through the iPad and adjusted in his seat.

A few seconds later the blonde that took my jacket came in with a platter and two cups on top of it.

She drops one in front of me and I thanked her, she also dropped another in front of Mr. Adonis before leaving.

"So how old are you Miss Davis?" He inquired and sip on his team or coffee, I don't know.

"I'm 22," I responded as calmly as possible.

"And are you a graduate or……."

"I'm a dropout, no means to further my education." I cut him short.

I hate it when anybody asks me if I am a graduate or not.

It hurts me a lot.

"Okay, I have the form your filled here and it stated that you reside here in New York and you're fluent in English, yes?" He asked.

"Yes." I nodded.

"Why do you….."

"Where is Mr. Lockwood? I mean I thought…..I thought he would be the one to ask me this kind of question." I cut in on him for the second time.

He furrowed his brow and rest back on the couch.

I guess he was trying to be patient with me.

"No miss Davis, Mr. Lockwood is not the one to interview you, I am." He replied sharply.

"Oh, I apologize." I slowly said and adjust myself on the couch. I picked up the cup in front of me and took a sip.

It was a coffee, cappuccino I guess.

"Why do you want to marry my boss?" He asked.

Why do I feel like that was his personal question?

"I need the money…..and the freedom," I responded instantly and drop the cup of coffee back on the table.

"This contract is only for a year, and don't worry you'll have the access to some of Mr. Lockwood's properties, and you will be given monthly allowances of $30,000 every month, this contract ends exactly a year later with no feelings attached, are you still interested?" He questioned me.

I guess every other person says no after this.

"I am interested," I told him.

"Perfect then, you will be signing the contract tomorrow, I'm sorry but you have to come back here tomorrow and sign the contract in the presence of Mr. Lockwood and his lawyer.

For now, you will undergo some basic training as the future wife of Killian Lockwood, you're beautiful and respectful, just a touch of highlight." He said and I smiled to myself.

We did it, Alex.

Thank you once again to my fake pretty face.

"When do I start the training?" I asked him.

"Immediately." He replied and I stood up.

"Your tutor is on her way, just a few minutes more miss Davis." He told me.

To be Killian Lockwood's wife I have to mingle with the elites, learn the lifestyle of the elites and have his best interest in heart.

Alexandria Davis, you're about to be Alexandria Lockwood.

Chile, I'm here for this.
