Chapter 6 Interview Day

||" Kristen Stewart"||

"Wake up, you are going to be late for your interview, Kristen…"

"Just let me sleep five minutes more, honey please?" I begged my mother, I felt so tired, I just wanted to sleep, it's not that late, I think.

"That is what you said thirty minutes ago if you must know, it's already eight-thirty, and Sky has been ringing your phone, she also called the house phone, .."

"Did you say eight-thirty?"

Shit! How is it eight-thirty already, I slept barely two hours ago.

"Yes, Kris, it's eight-thirty-two now,"

I grunted as I woke up and quickly left the bed and dashed to the bathroom when I heard loud footsteps coming towards the door, that was Sky, I couldn't be mistaken, "Mother, please keep her occupied for me, I will be fast."

"I told you not to stay up late," Mother scolded,

She was right, she did say I shouldn't stay up late and retire to bed early, but I had to clean out my dresser and put office outfits out. I was supposed to do that after I returned from the first day of the last work I got, but unfortunately, I lost the job.

Hence, this explains my messed-up closet.

By the time I was done sorting out th3 whole dresser it was already past midnight, it was early morning, so I went to bed, now I regret it because I might end up feeling disoriented all day.

I just hope it doesn't affect my interview.

I took a quick shower which focused particularly on me washing my hair.

The bathroom door opened revealing a stern-looking Sky glaring at me,

"I told you not to be late, don't you know anything about first impressions?" She scolded,

"Mummy, I told you to keep her occupied…" I called out from the bathroom,

"Angry Sky is a no-handler for me, baby, I will be in the kitchen, hurry up and come have breakfast." Mother said,

"There will be no need for that ma, she will eat from the company's cafeteria, we are running late, missing breakfast will be her punishment for being late." Sky said to my mum, while I was tiptoed from the bathroom,

Since I washed my hair, I needed to fix that first, my hair was thick and full, and the reason why I washed it, is good hygiene means everything to me especially when it has to do with my hair.

"Sky, can you help me dry the back of my hair?" I asked,

She groaned but still came er to help me amidst the scolding, we finished it quickly and headed to the company.

I was nervous.

We got to the company, and Sky gave her car keys to a guard that walked up to her, and after that, she led us inside the company, saying hello to people that waved at her.

I had to constantly remind myself that Sky works here and she is already familiar with everybody here, and the awkward look I got from everyone was because I was a strange face.

It didn't help my anxiety.

This is my workspace, I am one of those in charge of services providing and publishing. You will find us very useful later.

We walked until we got to an office, Sky quietly knocked on the door,

"Come inside," A voice responded from inside,

Sky opened the door and led me inside.

"Good morning Sir!" Both of us chorused at the handsome-looking man that sat, eyes glued to the laptop,

"Good morning ladies," he replied not looking up, "Please sit down."

"Thank you, Sir,"

"Forgive my manners, today is quite busy in the company because we have to do some handing overs," He said,

"I know, Sir, is he here yet?" Sky asked,

"He is on his way." The man said finally looking up from what he was doing. "Hello,"

"Hello," I greeted with a quick bow, a habit I learnt from my last holiday spent in Asia.

"Please introduce yourself and why you should be employed and let me see your CV." He said,

I stood up and handed him my CV respectfully, then sat back down after he gestured for me to take my seat again,

"My name is Kristen Stewart, I just turned 26, and I am Caucasian but I have been living here with my mother for over five years now," I said,

"It states here in your CV that you have had three years of experience working at Shem Techs Company… even though they are out of the system now, they were one of the biggest back then, can you share what your experience was with them?"

"Thank you," I said, "Shem Tech was where I did my internship, I got employed after my internship and worked there for three years, but unfortunately, the CEO died and his children who didn't have much interest in the tech career, folded it up and relocated to Dubai. " I explained,

"That's pitiful indeed," he said and I nodded in agreement, "Well, your resume is quite captivating and you are fluent in speech and bold with your words. Which is perfect for the job."

"Thank you, Sir," I said,

"Today is Tuesday and we have a new guest who will be taking over the running of the company from today since our CEO will be taking a hiatus break. That new guest who happens to be the only son of Mr Troy Canvas will be taking over the running of the company until his father returns from his hiatus break and you are set to be his assistant while working alongside the technical service department." The man muttered, "Is that too much for you to handle?"

"Not at all, Sir, I think I can handle that. " I responded,

"Very well then, Sky will show you to your office, then will brief you on the general office rules, if you have questions, you can ask me directly." He said and I nodded respectfully, "My name is Vitali Benson and my office door is always open for consulting, welcome to Cloud Holdings, I am looking forward to working with you, Mrs Stewart."

"Please call me Kristen, Sir." I sad,

"Okay, Kristen. Sky please show her around and after bring her back here for briefing." Vitali said,

"Briefing?"

"Yes, the guest who is taking over the company already has an assistant since he owns his company too, but the assistant can't work here with him, so she will be here soon to brief you on how to take care of his schedules perfectly."

"Okay, Sir."

"Thank you, Sir." Sky said and Vitali nodded then went back to having his eyes glued on the laptop.

"Isn't the employment too fast?" I asked Sky as soon as we stepped out of Vitali's office,

"It's because we are in a hurry, we were taken unawares you know?"

"Well, glad it worked in my favour and the salary is good," I said as I looked through the company data printout he handed me.

"Yeah, the salary is very good. Why else do you think I still work here?" Sky chuckled,

"So have you ever met the guest?"

"No one in the company has over met him before, why so you ask?"

"His father's name…sounds kind of familiar.
