The man and the job

Chapter 5

The constant ringing of the alarm clock woke me up from my sleep .

In my sleepy state , I stretched my hands to the clock to turn it off and it was then my head sent the information that I needed to me .

Today is my first day that I will be resuming work in the law firm that I had been employed at.

The moment my head gave me that information, I stood up immediately and the sleep completely left my eyes and all that I kept thinking of at that moment was the fact that I was already late

I grabbed my phone that was just by the bed stand and The time was just 6am in the morning .

I quickly got up from bed. I didn’t want to be late for my first day at work , I knew that I had to be there before 7am

****

Standing right in front of me was the most gigantic building that I had ever seen .

I wouldn’t deny the fact that this must be one of the most beautiful places that I have ever seen .

Never did I think that I would be working here and here I was resuming work not as an intern but as an employee .

I was grateful to be here , I must say , I would say that this had got to be one of the best opportunities that I had ever had and I wasn’t going to take it for granted .

I took slow strides towards the building and once I was in I let out a deep breath .

I was finally in , this is a time of taking all my dreams in my hands instead of crying and flocking around .

When I walked in the first person I noticed was a girl about the same age with me .

When I saw the girl , I knew that she was the person that had been sent to welcome me and just as I had predicted it was her .

“ hi “ I am Racheal and I will be your guide for the next 30 minutes telling you all that you need to know about this firm or agency , anything you finally decide to call it .

I forced out a smile and nodded my head .

I could see so many people, both boys , girls, men and women walking about , they all had those co- operate clothes on and they looked as elegant as ever .

I felt so proud and so freaking happy to be here , I just couldn’t Walt .

In the next 30 minutes Rachel told me all that I needed to know about my job and also about my role and she also told me some important information about the CEO resuming today .

From what she told me , she said that his wife had been the one running the company for over 4 years now and now he was finally back and was resuming today and so I had the opportunity to meet him on the first day of my work .

I knew that this company was owned by two families but I never knew that the husband took a break all this while .

Maybe if I had paid a bit attention to everything that Was happening around me , then I don’t think that I would have to be thinking about this at this moment .

“ well this is the last place and the bosses office , you can go in , she will be waiting “

I nodded my head and was about to enter when she held my hands and stopped me .

“Maybe you shouldn’t give her any reasons to make her think that she made a mistake in choosing you .

I nodded my head at her and then opened the door and walked in .

The first thing that I noticed when I walked in , was the woman sitting behind the glass window .

She was the first person that I saw when I stepped in .

The office was one of the most beautiful places that I had ever seen in my entire life and I must say that I loved it .

You can have a seat “ she told me when she finally noticed my presence .

I walked to one of the chairs and sat down. I must say that I admire this woman so much , even her voice alone was something else , that is why she’s us being able to hold a big company like this one for this long without breaking it .

After sitting there for over 30 minutes in total silence , she finally turned to face me , this time she had a smile on her face.

“You know I personally went through those interview and chose you , do not think that you are special that’s why I choose you , but I just wanted to shut the mouth of pokers who are creating the narrative that I hate woman and because i have no woman on my team , if you do not meet up to my standard , consider you Job gone “ she told me .

I nodded my head and stood up , I wasn’t surprised by her attitude , she’s so rumoured to be this cold hearted bitch , well it’s a good thing that I am so ready for it .

I was about to walk out of the room , when a particular frame caught my attention .

It was a picture of a man wrapped in her arms.

Taking a closer look at it , I knew that I had seen this man somewhere before .

Get out “ her voice interrupted my thoughts .

I hastily walked out of the office and once I was out , I let out a deep breath .

I didn’t want to think about it , even though it could be real , I didn’t want to think about it .

That could never be him , I knew it. It couldn’t be the man that I had fucked , there must be some kind of mistake somewhere .

***

The CEO finally arrived. I know how long we had been sitting in this big hall waiting for him to come .

No matter how much I tried to comfort myself, I just couldn’t , there was this inner heat that I had inside of me .

Even with the air conditioning, I felt really uncomfortable , this was exactly how I felt the day I found out about my mom's affairs .

When she walked into the room with smiles , I knew that he was here .

“‘Welcome back to you all. My lovely husband and the sole owner of Santiago law firm.

Everyone clapped and stood up immediately , I did the same too and all my attention was on the man as he walked in and to my greatest surprise it wasn’t him .

I heaved a sigh of relief thinking about all the things that would have gone wrong if it was him .

I was about sitting down when the calls increased again and this time another man entered the room .

I could literally feel my heart beating at that moment I was having a fucking panic attack .

The man walked in majestically and getting to where his wife was , he kissed her and turned , our eyes ran into each other the moment he turned and I felt my legs go wooby the next moment .

It was him , it was my blind date and the man that I had a one night stand with , my boss' husband .
