Chapter Three

KIRA'S POV

I have never been to a place like that all my life. The place was so big and beautiful. This got me even more nervous. Working as a human resource personnel in a prestigious five star hotel such as this frightened me for some reason.

"Come on Kira. You've got this." I said to myself and took a deep breath. I walked up to the pretty receptionist, but she seemed to have woken up on the wrong side of the bed.

"Good day madam. I'm Kira Adams and I'm here for an interview." I said politely, flashing a smile at her.

"Interview? By this time? Didn't you check the time before coming here?" She scoffed.

"I'm sorry ma'am. I was involved in an accident. You can see the bruise I sustained." I said showing her my sore elbow.

She didn't even look at me but fixed her eyes on the file before her

"Shish! She sure is an angry bird. There is not a single day my angelic smile doesn't work on people. Maybe she's having a man problem.." I thought.

"Come with me." She suddenly said and led me to a big office. The office had five more applicants who were finely dressed.

"Sit here." She ordered, and I sat beside a cheeky looking lady who was also applying to the same position.

"Good day. I'm Kira." I said , stretching my hand forth for a handshake.

"Good day" She said shaking my hand dryly.

"So what's your name?" I asked, still trying to ease the tension I was feeling by talking to someone even if it was just anyone.

"Tina" She answered. She couldn't even hide the fact that she felt disturbed by this conversation.

"I see you don't talk so much." I said getting the hint.

"That's right." She said as she turned to look at me for the first time.

"Sweet Lord! She looks like a Barbie doll!" I thought hoping my thoughts weren't so loud.

Even a child could tell that shehad lost every touch of nature that God had given her, by doing countless surgeries. Her cheek bones looked so artificial, and her boobs, jeez! her boobs stood like they were having a panic attack.

"Miss Tina.. You are up" A voice said, and she got soon got up. The bigness of her bum could not be hidden, not with the mini skirt she wore.

"What? Is she trying to seduce her way through?". The chubby lady sitting behind me said, making others laugh.

Thirty minutes later, I was in the office for my long awaited interview. The three stoic interviewers were already sitted, all dressed in black suits. They were so focus on the numerous files on the long desk, that none of them answered to my greetings.

"Sit down Miss.." The oldest one of them said looking through my file to get my name.

"Kira Adams Sir" I helped out

"Yes, Miss Kira. Tell us about yourself." Another said. I could feel my chest thumping.

" You've got this Kira. You'll smash it!" I thought cheering myself on.

I spoke on and on answering everyone of their questions. Though I felt they weren't so satisfied with my answers, but I sure did my best.

Just when the interview was about to come to an end , the door to the office opened, and a familiar cologne soon filled my nostrils.

"Good day Sir" The three interviewers chorused as they jumped to their feet.

Feeling a bit confused, I also stood up, turning to see the person who commanded so much respect from these men.

"No way! What is he doing here?" I thought, not knowing I was loud enough to be heard by everyone in the room.

The handsome fella, with a smirk walked up to me and whispered in my ears.

"This hotel is mine darling"

"What?!" I screamed.

"Sir please have a sit" One of them said.

"No I'm fine. Are you done with her interview?" He asked putting his hands in his pockets.

"Yes Sir."

"So how did she do?" He asked , taking my file in his hands. I soon began to feel those chills I felt earlier on.

"Sir.. do you think we should discuss that while she is here?" The most stringent of them asked a bit nervously.

"Oh boy! Don't open it!" I prayed, but it didn't work.

"I see you graduated with a 3.45 CGPA, a second class lower. Not so bad.." He said still glancing through my documents, rather nonchalantly.

" So how did she do?" He asked again, lifting his gaze to the men.

"Umm.. sir she is intelligent, but lacks enough experience."

"I see.."He said dropping my file on the desk, folding his arms.

"So Miss Kira, what do you think are the requirements of a Human resource personnel?" He suddenly asked me, making my eyes almost pop out of my head.

"Well, it is a fact that human resource personnels are quite pivotal in every organisation, as they are responsible for managing every aspect of the employment process, including, orientation, and training of new staff members, and managing their payrolls. Hence, a HR personnel must be meticulous, responsible and should also be skilled in the aspect of mediation should in case conflicts arise between staffs. I must add, he or she must be well abreast with the aims and objectives of the organization he or she is working in, as this will enable such person pass this on to other staffs in training, so everyone would know what they seek to achieve. Well.." Just when I was about to tell of how I had digested the memorandum of association of this hotel and quite understood every detail, the handsome hunk just had to stop me.

"That's fine Miss Kira." He said with a smile. I couldn't quite decipher if it was admiration I saw in his eyes, but I loved the softness I saw in them.

"I don't think you need any more proof. She is good, and like you know I don't fancy experience as much as I love knowledge and dedication. This I see in the young woman." He said, his voice suddenly sounding authoritative.

I wondered how one could change his personality so quickly.

"Jeez.. He said I'm good. He believes in me." I thought, trying to hide how hard I was blushing.

"Tell the HR unit to print her offer letter. She starts tomorrow." He said, with that authoritative tone.

"Tomorrow?" The three men said in unison.

"You heard that right." He said and turned to me.

"What! So I got the job?" I screamed, not sure I expected a reply. He said nothing but winked at me, before leaving the office.
