CHAPTER TWO

              

Ezekiel looked at her with impatience written all over his eyes; he felt like devouring her right there.

"I'm hungry; what did you cook?" He asked, trying to get to the kitchen.

"Wait! Hold up, are you hungry, or are you sexually hungry?" Kenzie flashed a lustful smile that made him almost lose it.

"Erm, both," he replied with brevity.

"Uhn un. You always try to hold back even though you still come to me. Don't worry, I'll give you a good time," she hung her arm on his shoulder, caressing his face from the side.

"Hmm, I'm going to eat first. Get me a bailey while you're at," he said decisively, not wanting to display the boiling desire that shone straight out from his eyes as he lavishly consumed her with his gaze. 

"I'll bring your food then," she smiled at him, slowly brushing her hands down his shoulders before leaving for the kitchen.

Ezekiel hurried to take a quick shower in his room. He arrived at the dining area to find his dinner already warm. Kenzie carefully observed him as he ate, drooling over his broad shoulders and fit stature, admiring his facial pulchritude, and chewing slowly.

"It seems your impatience has become one with you," He said, standing on his feet and cleaning his mouth after taking two full glasses of Baileys at a go.

"Alright, I'll clean up here first," she smiled, owing to what he said.

Per his routine, Ezekiel indulged in another relaxing soak in his bathtub. He stood there momentarily, contemplating the best approach to interview and evaluate each of the three contenders. Just as he began to unwind, Kenzie abruptly clutched him from behind, causing water to spill everywhere, but he seemed to have regained his composure.

"Don't you know that your clothes will get wet?" He turned around to see her, and she was naked.

"See? Now relax and let me give you pleasure," Ezekiel didn't look like he would reject her, so she made her move by caressing his balls. When he accepted her approach, she hugged him with one hand sound his waist and the other hand stroking his dick and giving him a hand-job eventually.

.....................................

Elena consumed so much orange juice that it appeared like she had a substantial lunch. She found the appointment with Mr. Ezekiel mentally draining. He gave the impression that, if he so desired, he could look into her soul and elicit knowledge.

She brought her juice glass to the bathtub and lingered there for a while, wishing she had someone to give her a relaxing massage, but she soon thought about her adulterous partner and her broken marriage.

She snarled while tossing her hair to the side. When her phone rang, it was an email containing the test's specifics. As she carefully raised her legs out of the bathtub, she wrapped her towel over herself. 

Her test was planned to take place last. According to the document, each prospective secretary will undergo testing once a week, one after the other

"Isn't this lengthy? What would I be doing two weeks from now?" She grimaced in irritation and kept reading.

The contract also stated that everyone would receive payment for their efforts regardless of the outcome. She was interested in this aspect, but the sum wasn't stated. As a result, the work opportunity was both a temporary one for the three women and a long-term one for just one of them.

"This is quite good; the compensation price shouldn't be shabby considering the company's influence," she left her phone on the table In her room when a call came in. She ignored her phone once she saw who the caller was.

A guy who has been confessing his undying love and promises to take excellent care of her, but she has already resolved not to rely on men for the time being. Elena ignored the call and went to the parlor to watch a movie before sleeping.

For the first week, some of Elena's friends came to visit. They stayed for the entire week, making her feel occupied and entertained.

"Tomorrow's the beginning of another week," Elena looked like boredom would ravage her once the new week started.

"Aww, cheer up, darling. I know you've been looking for a proper job; why don't you be the ambassador of my eatery for a while?" Trisha grinned playfully.

"Thanks but no thanks. I'm not giving up on Mr. Ezekiel yet," Elena said without much thinking

"Oh, did someone already make you an offer?" Bella asked with glowing eyes.

"More like listening to gossip gave me an opportunity," Elena smiled weirdly.

Bella and Trisha glanced at each other simultaneously and then back at Elena, not comprehending her statement.

"What are you yammering about?" Trisha asked with her hands folded. 

"Well, I applied for a job at DreamState company. I got quite lucky, you see," Elena smiled awkwardly. Bella and Trisha looked at each other again and burst into laughter. 

"That's a good one, Elena. ," Bella cleaned the tears dripping from her eyes from laughing excessively.

"Yeah, Elena, vacancies in such companies require some connection. How could you have gotten that information?" Trisha raised her eyebrows, getting more curious than Bella.

"Haha. Is that so? It seems my neighbors have insider information about many big shots and their inner circles," Elena said.

Her friends further burst into laughter, thinking she was topping what they thought was a joke all along. Elena facepalmed and showed them the emails she got.

"Oh my God, for real!?" Trisha exclaimed, looking back and forth from Elena to Bella.

"You've seen it but still don't want to believe it?" Elena smirked.

"Just where are those neighbors of yours?" Bella asked so seriously, as if she was ready to kidnap and keep them forever. Elena and Trisha looked at her in surprise and started their bout of laughter with tears streaming down their eyes.

"Don't be greedy, Bella! You're already engaged. It would help if you only thought of your upcoming wedding," Trisha smiled with a hint of a sly expression.

"I heard the manager of that company is a big shot. What's he like?' Bella asked with curiosity overshadowing her expression.

"Don't expect too much, though," Elena sighed. 

"What do you mean by that? Isn't he handsome and tall and sexy?" Trisha asked.

"Well… he's handsome and tall from what I've seen though he was only sitting on his big chair, but how'd I know if he's sexy?" Elena gave Trisha a 'do I look like a shaman' look.

"So why then should we not expect much?" Bella raised her fingers to make air quotes.

"His aura is intense and kinda bossy," Elena spat.

"Ohh oh oh, an alpha male? I like it!" Trisha smiled enthusiastically. Elena shook her head. If only they experienced how it was to be in front of him, it was like standing naked in front of a puppet master. 

"Just forget about it," Elena pouted in another direction.

"The best of all luck in the world to you, babe; I hope your plan succeeds," Bella rubbed her hands together maniacally.

"What do you mean by plans?" Elena gave a scary look.

"I can't believe you're getting married soon… you sound so devious, Bella; I take pity for your man," Trisha breathed exhaustively.

"That's enough of teasing everyone; you both still have much to return to; your businesses and men, yuck," Elena said.

"You'll get entangled with that CEO soon. So shall it be according to the power of Valak," Bella said with a horrifying look.

"You've just seen too many horror movies, and now you're spouting nonsense," Elena retorted and closed the discussion about her job application and Mr. Ezekiel.

Even if being by his side felt like work, she was interested in the position. She decided to devote most of the upcoming week to fitness after her friends left, so the first three days leading up to her test were spent working out at the gym. 

On the third day, after her morning session, she got another email from DreamState stating that her test would start tomorrow, and it was signed by none other than Ezekiel Rudolf himself. She winced; the message didn't even ask her if it was a good time to do so since the exam had already been scheduled for a specific time. He acted like he could accomplish anything, even though she wasn't his secretary yet.

She exclaimed as she sat down on a bench in the gym to reflect before leaving. She was anxious the entire day because she didn't know what the test would be about or how to prepare for it, and because her test was coming earlier than expected, something must have happened.

"Has he had a change of heart? What an oddball that man is," Elena growled once more before deciding to stop worrying about it. There was nothing to lose if she got the job; if not, there was still the pay

With a new blank face, she sat on her couch feeling drained and slept off.
