Ch:2 Celebration and new plan
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"You're hired." The words kept ringing joy and happiness into Cherry's heart. As she exited the building her head could not accept the news, it felt too good to be true. A few moments before she thought they were joking but the handsome guy did confirm it.
Cherry decided today was the day she bought herself a treat, a real expensive treat to celebrate. She went to a public food cart and got herself a plate of fried chicken with noodles and took them home to celebrate her new job with her dog. She had been trying so hard to hide the excitement bubbling inside but it was hard containing it. As she walked home she unconsciously let out a loud squeal and got weird looks from people who were passing. Slightly embarrassed by her manners Cherry hid her face with her scarf and walked faster, the news was so Intriguing she knew Christmas is going to be awwwwesome!.
When Cherry finally made it home, she unlocked the door still dancing with the plate of noodles in her hand. “Dolly I’m home!” She yelled to her cute Australian shepherd, dolly came running from a corner to greet Cherry waggling her tail in excitement.
“Hold on baby, that's not all, momma’s got better news for us!” Cherry carried her little pet and walked them to the old worn out couch.
“Guess what, mommy got a job today and if you are wondering what kind of job could I possibly be given in a rich man’s company, well it is not just any kind of job, this one is far better and reputable. I don’t need to go for my other interviews anymore.” Dolly barked in response.
“And you know what I am excited about? We are going to have our own first party here!” She cheered lifting Dolly up. “Don’t worry it’s just between you and me, remember we only have each other, you are my family I am your family.”
Dolly made a cute adorable whine to show her appreciation and happiness. Cherry then placed dolly on the floor to grab her phone, scrolling through her music playlist she hit her favorite soundtrack 'radioactive' by imagine dragons.
°Laying out to action dust, I wipe my brows and sweat my rust...
Breathing in the chemical…° She inhaled, awfully following the rhythm of the song while murdering it with her weird dancing. If there was a jail term for people who ruin musicians songs Cherry will be persecuted number one
Dolly sat idle on the floor her head cocked to the side watching her weird owner sway awfully on the coffee table that looks like it will give way any time soon. Cherry stopped dancing noticing her pet was quietly looking at her.
“I know my dance moves are horrible but don't judge me, that’s the life, you do what you want.” Cherry soon got tired of entertaining herself and sat back on the worn-out couch beside the takeaway plate, she opened the plate inhaling the aromatic scent of noodles and chicken. She poured some of the noodles and chicken on a plate cover for dolly to eat, she could not yet afford dog food so dolly eats from her share.
“Eat baby we got to sleep on time today, you know it’s my first day at work tomorrow, a real work and I don’t want to lose it, at least now.” She kept on talking to her pet as they ate and soon Cherry got full and went to lay on her small bed hoping to get enough rest that will heal her mind, soul and body. With one last thought of the huge salary she would be paid, Cherry drift off to wonderland.

Rex Angelo sat like a king in front of the screen, he watched all the candidates who arrived for the secret interview. They all sat on white chairs with no table or covering hiding their presence, which was easy to monitor what they were doing. From his laptop, he watched the live footage of all CCTV cameras installed in the hall.
Rex assessed the candidates, inspecting every detail of their clean corporate clothing. They did have the spirit of confidence, boldness, and determination and they all look ready to take down any task given to them. Rex had clearly explained to his receptionist that all candidates should be delayed in the hall till he gives the signal.
“Make them wait in a large room.” He told her.
“Yes sir.” She replied trying to sound professional an impression she believes will work on Rex to gain favor.
Little did she know Rex wasn’t up to such an act. All candidates are expecting to meet face to face with popular billionaire, Rex Angelo, but little did they know waiting right there in the hall was the interview. Rex watched for a second before he noticed an unusual figure emerging from the door. He watched as a girl in a simple sundress and Jean jacket stepped cautiously, as if on reflex all heads turned towards her, he could see them judging her appearance and her simplicity. But not him, instead of being offended he was swoon by her simplicity.
Rex noticed she stood out from anyone in the room only wearing a sundress, something that was totally out of this world ‘she doesn’t know how to dress does she?’ Rex made a mental remark physically grinning and let out a light chuckle.
Rex found it interesting to watch her move around, he hoped she stayed longer to be qualified so he could figure out this strangeness in his chest. As time passed people started to disappear from the room except for her, he then unmutes the speakers in the room to listen to the candidates. Many were angry and uttering foul words at him. Most left the hall in rage even the calm ones snapped like a twig. It continued till it was only the girl in the sundress.
“Perfect!” He exclaimed.
“What?” His bodyguard asked.
“I wasn’t referring to you.” Rex spoke with no emotion or remorse edging his words.
“Sorry sir.”
“Better.” Rex grumbled and resumed watching the smallish girl nearly dozing on her seat, his heart melted just staring at her, there was something about her he couldn’t quite explain. A chemistry, he assumes. Quickly Rex sent for his best friend Peter Mark to head straight to the hall before she thinks of leaving so she could fill in an application form he had prepared.
“Hey, sup man? Tired of playing coo-coo on your applicants?” Peter joked.
“Peter, there is no time for jokes. I need your help.”
“Kay, hit me, what do you want me to do?.”
“Good, I need you to go down the hall and get that sex- girl in a sundress to sign an application.” Rex looked away for a moment and cursed under his breath.
“Is that all?” Peter asked in a suspicious tone.
“Yes that’s it. Please handle this the right way.” Rex made strong eye contact with his friend, showing him how serious he was with this task.
“I know how to do that, anyways you have made it my job isn’t it?” Peter asked him for confirmation.
“Make sure she fills it and resume tomorrow by nine-thirty.“ He told him ignoring his friend weird remarks.
“Of course Rex I got you covered.” Peter told him and winked.
Rex cringed at him and gestured for him to leave. When Peter did leave Rex unbuttoned the first three buttons on his dress shirt and leaned back on his chair. He blew out a large breath imagining what he would say to her when she comes tomorrow.
“Hey, what’s your name? I am your new boss.. Darn it, that came out wrong.” He adjusted his position still imagining what to say.
“I am your boss and you do as I say.”
“Damm I sound like a fool.”
“Look Rex the important thing now is that she is here and she got the post. By chance, at least we know what to do now.” He smiled wickedly to himself, calculating what he would tomorrow when she resumes.
Finally someone I can control.

Cherry was outside the office waiting, she waited nervously for Rex's meeting to be over while hugging the documents tightly to her chest, she was sure her knuckles turned white from the pressure she puts.“What am I doing here if he wasn’t my boss? Why was I so nervous all of a sudden when I stepped in there, I simply made a fool of myself, going in there and freezing like iced fish.” Cherry complained to no one other than herself. She was trying to weigh her options if she should leave or not, but she soon came up with an answer.“Nah I’ll wait.”It seems like forever before the door finally opens. Cherry straightened up from her position looking at the rich businessmen coming out in their expensive suits. They were dressed in rare fashioned materials that were uncommon in most parts of the US.

Rex got to the fourth floor of the building where his cousin was supposed to be waiting. He closed the door behind him as soon as he was inside and approached the tall chair backing him, instead of his cousin sitting on the chair he was greeted by a certain person he never expected to see.“Rexy baby, long time no see.” Susie's sultry voice welcomed Rex. She twirled the chair fully so she was facing him.“Susie, what are you doing here?” Rex asked his ex-fiancé as long forgotten memories came flooding into his mind.“Come on Rexy love I know you missed me.” She went to hug him but he stepped away almost immediately.“Get away from me you serpent.” He snarled bitterly at her.“Serpent?” She placed a hand on her chest as if hurt by his words. “Calling me a serpent is one big bad word and you hurt me Rexy.” She whined.“It is not enough to cover up the humiliation and pain you caused me years ago.” Rex growled lowly at her, clearly

The next morning Rex woke up with a slight pang at the back of his head. He rolled off the bed and grumpily went to have his bath, once again his mind drifted off to Cherry and he began to ask himself why everything about her gives him so much interest, why did he think of her longer than he thought of his first fiancé. This thought bothered him and he wanted an explanation for it.He got out of the shower on time because his mind was getting too clouded with thoughts of Cherry, the blinds in his room were still closed shielding the room from the early sunlight. Rex got his outfit from his closet and got dressed, he later came out of his changing room and pressed a green button on the wall which split the blinds open.‘Cherry must be awake by now.’ he thought and an unconscious smile formed on his lips.Rex was dressed in his signature blood red dress shirt and black silky pants. He folded the sleeves of his dress shirt to his elbows for easy movement and walked

Rex and Cherry sat in front of the kitchen island in silence speaking nothing to each other.

Even Taylor had to show up twice to serve them different food course before rounding it up with sweet dessert. As Cherry sat across Rex she could feel his eyes on her when she ate.
