Maid To Be The Employee [PROLOGUE]
PROLOGUE"You're fired!" My jaw dropped at the break of those words, eyes gaping on at the hot liquid streaming down the shirt of the man who in minutes ago, had been my employer. I had spilled coffee on him. Hot coffee! What luck befell a lady as me on a fine Monday morning?But I tell you people, it was the end of a path I had taken for the past eight years, and the beginning of my search for a job. Sometimes, one would think life would hit you with warning. Get you prepared for what was to come. Have you anticipate whatever was out there. But no, not this time. It struck me hard. Leaving me with nothing, but the fact that all my years of working here, had been an utter waste. Years of me toiling to have a better stand. My things had been tossed out my office in less than a minute.Come on, now. I knew Corrine never liked me, but was this how fast she was at getting rid of me? She had slipped the letter into my sweaty palms, eyes registering the shock on my face.That let

"Your Marketer just quit" I stated like that wasn't the reason there was a job opening in the first place. "You should have a look at my Résumé if you're in search of the best marketer in town" "And according to our research, you were fired from your last job" Those words slapped the glee off my entire being, with gaze left gaping on at that figure before me. His grey eyes did so well examining mine, body relaxing back in the black, rewinding chair, while he beheld the fright that had crossed my profile. "You didn't resign like you stated in the application" He followed. "You lied to us, Miss Parker" "And if you haven't been orientated already, Holden Inc. holds honesty as their core value" His utterance was a hit to me. "Well you guys must think again, cause your father has been dishonest his entire life, stealing from the masses, protected by the government"That was a blow to him. A real challenge it ought to be.It worked for my last employer, of course it did, yet, what sh

"Let me please you"Those words had his eyes staring blankly at my figure, gaze peering at my awaiting form. The silence that had broken between us was enough to mock the power of the air conditioner stood at a corner of the room. The sweat had come gathering around my palms, body agitating, yet I managed to keep my eyes lingering in the ones of the young man away. "If your Résumé never works, then your charms must!" I heard the voice of Tara bellowing into my head, telling me to snatch this position no matter what it took. "Please me in what way?" That calm voice snapped my gaze back to him. "Ways you can't possibly imagine" No that wasn't as convincing as it should have been. That phrase already was overused, if anything. "Ways that would have you rejecting the rest of those applicants sat out there, and perhaps put an end to the day's work" I followed in a soft voice. "Miss Parker if you must know— "Mr. Holden, give me just one chance to please you" I pronounced in a low

"Then you, Miss Janet Parker, will be the company's new marketer to be employed" Those words struck me so hard, I found my eyes widened at his utterance, mouth gaping without warning."Excuse me?" The words left my lips at once, ears not believing what had broken out. "Do you need me to fetch a translator, Miss Parker?" "If I'm not mistaken, you majored in communications" He called at once. "I don't see any reason why it should be hard getting my message" "You stated yourself that you could please me" His voice was low. "I'd like to see how well you can" And with that, he had pushed away. His figure pulling to that chair, with body sinking into it slowly. "The interview lasts for only ten minutes, Miss Parker" His voice was enough to snap me out my trance. "If you consider getting this job, then you should get yourself moving" He added. At those words, my feet had pushed forward, steps slow, eyes never leaving his. His gaze held some form of amusement, eyes watching as I dr

"Woo-hoo!" I jolted at the pop that rang into the air the instant I stepped foot in my sober New-York apartment. Stood at the center of the room was the figure of a bubbly Tara, hand holding onto a bottle of wine, the other, fetching a glass cup from a desk at the corner. "Congratulations!" She squealed those words so hard, I feared the neighbors would come banging at our door. My eyes only remained peering blankly at her, watching the dance she had put up, with her petite form skipping here to there, and soon coming to pull me in her embrace. "How did you know?" The words left my lips at once. "You texted me. Remember?" She followed, pulling up her cell, with a text from me, flashing boldly on the screen. Of course, I did. After searching for whom to vent to, telling them how I stupidly had gone on with an act, that was out for my sanity. "You're an employee at Holden Inc." Her voice was filled with much joy, eyes beaming on at my form. "That's massive, Jane!" "Is it now?"

My figure dashed past the connecting street to the busy road ahead, figure hurrying to that large building, which drew nearer at each second that went by. It was moments like this that had me wishing I owned a car. Not for the beauty, nor for the glory, but the fact that I could ram into that odd-sized vehicle that was close to brushing past my agitated form. The driver had zoomed off, not even daring to spare a glance at my startled profile. How distressed the tires appeared, whooshing away, while the car hurried on. But save the curses for another day, dear people. For I was thirty minutes late. Thirty minutes late to a place I just had been hired at. Hair flying with the wind, I couldn't help but catch onto the stares the security guards sent my way. Their eyes followed my figure proceeding into the area. "Is everything alright, Miss?" One had been so kind to enquire, but there wasn't any time for discussion. I was forced to give a smile at the all-kind Mister, form soon da

"He broke up with me, Jane"My eyes beheld the sad ones of my friend, which usually would be housing lots of happiness, but otherwise it was, on a cold Friday night as this" "A relationship we had managed to build for five years, and he heartlessly cut it off" She gave a smile, yet, on her cheeks, were tears streaming down. "Five years, Jane!" "Five years of me planning what the future would hold for the both of us" "Five years of me working for what would eventually come to crash" "T-" My voice was soft, hoping it would do enough getting her to a calm, but her wails only broke out into my ears, shoulders trembling, while the tears poured out her eyes. "Come on, T" "Don't let this ruin you" "Well, it already has" She chuckled."I am left with nothing but memories of a person whom I so bore myself to" "I am left with cracked pieces, Jane" Her voice wavered. "Don't say that" I pulled her body to mine, hands patting her back. "You can't let this break you, Tara" "Remember how

"A strip club, Tara" My arms were folded across my chest, eyes peering back into the influencing ones of my friend. "For what reason are we at a strip club?" My words only caused her grin growing even wider, hands nudging mine. "To have fun!" Followed her voice. "Come on, Jane.......Who was just telling me to make merry, and not let the worries get to me?" She added, with that look of hers which would only resort to me giving in. "I don't remember telling you that" "Oh, let's join in on the fun" She squealed, and in a minute, she had gone on pulling my reluctant form with her, our figures making way through the crowd of wasted people. "Tara" What did I bring myself into? "Slow down, Tara" My voice trailed after her departing figure, but in a moment, we had lost hold of each other, and all I was left with was the swaying number of bodies coming before me. "Helloooooo" I beheld the grin of the man stood away, his eyes ravaging every part of me. I wasn't given a notice to pus
