Chapter six.

Brian sat in front of his customized made raven brown furniture desk which has his name " Brian Wilson " engraved on the golden and black plate on the desk. His luxurious and executive big office has the color of white and gray on it. He sat comfortably on his black office swirl chair.

He sat in front of the laptop typing away on the computer keyboard. All his focus and attention were only on the screen of the computer while his fingers type furiously on the keyboard.

A knock interrupted his moment which made his brows furrow, he looked up from the screen of the computer and looked towards the door. He removed his gaze from the door and continue with his work, after a few seconds, the second knock came but this time louder.

" Come in," he said without looking up from his computer screen.

The door slowly opened viewing a young man in his middle twenties, he was neatly dressed in a black ironed suit, and his black hair was combed back wards, his pink lips popped up nervously, his one-sided dimples displayed as his lips pursed. His handsome face can't be denied even with the nervousness radiating from his face.

" Good morning, sir," he greeted which made Brian raise his brows and nod.

"I have the complete report about her and the kid."

The continuous noise from the keyboard paused, he looked up from the screen of his laptop and looked at his assistant.

"Are you sure?" He asked in a low voice.

" Yes sir." He replied.

" Okay go on."

The assistant walked towards the desk and dropped the document on his desk and continued.

" The Investors and mechanical production of parts from China are here sir, your meeting with them starts three minutes from now and everything has been finalized," he said and paused and looked at his boss who has a neutral expression as usual

" You have a meeting with lands and real estate establishment by 10:30 am. Immediately after this meeting. By 2:00 pm, you have lunch with Miss Samantha, the COO of Gula company. Then dinner with..."

He paused in his report as Brian raised his hands to silence him.

He swirls around on his chair, looking at him before talking

" Cancel the lunch with miss Samantha and reschedule it for tomorrow. You will continue after this meeting." He said in a dangerously low voice without any emotion in it.

" Okay sir," he answered before leaving the office. After he left, he breathed a sigh of relief. Since his boss's journey to the old house, his mood has been unstable and it became worst this week, which resulted in the sacking of two workers just two days ago.

Lian's POV

After taking my bath, I walked into my corset and picked up a black office shirt and simple blue trousers.

Removing my blue towel, I wore my clothes on and brushed my hair with a wooden comb before packing it in a loose ponytail bun. I wore my black high heel wedge shoes. Looking at my clock, I realized I have only 20 minutes before the interview, I walked towards my drawer and brought out two of my sample designs.

I was packing them into my handbag when I heard the opening of the door. Without looking, I already knew who entered my room.

"Always with your attitude. Intruding without knocking " I murmured cheerfully.

" Hmm, where did I learn that from? You of course?" She said and sat on the bed and looked at me. We looked at each other and burst into laughter.

After our laughter died down, she looked at me and said " Ready to go?"

" Yeah, ready. How did I look?" I posed and turned around. She assessed my clothes and nodded.

"Gorgeous, so tell me? Are you nervous about your first interview in New York?"

" Not at all," she looked at me, with the look of ' I don't believe you.' I raised my hands in surrender.

" Okay, maybe a little bit," I said with a shrug. She was about to say something when we heard a ring bell.

" Breakfast is ready, " a female voice rang out.

" Okay, we will be down soon." She replied and returned her attention to me.

She stood up from the bed and walked towards me and held my hands softly " Take a deep breath and relax. It's normal to be nervous, especially during interviews like this but don't worry. You will pass through and make sure you smile through. I know all of them will fall for your smile. " she said which made me laugh out.

" Of course, I will pass through."

" Let's s go down for breakfast," I picked up my handbag and looked at the wall clock. I picked up my phone from the dresser.

" I don't think, I can make it. I'm already late."

" Okay, our first lady" she opened the door widely.

She followed behind me as I left the room. Getting downstairs, I was greeted by the whole family, It seems all of them were waiting for me to come down for breakfast. I moved toward there and greeted all of them first.

" I'm sorry, I kept you all waiting but I won't be able to eat breakfast with you."

" Why," they asked in a union, curiosity eradicating from their faces.

" I'm already late for an interview," I announced.

" Okay let me pack yours," Evelyn said. A smile made its way to my face. She has always been a mother figure to me. I wonder if my mother will have been like this if she was alive. So, caring.

" No mum, next time," I answered. I was about to leave when Fred's tiny voice brought me back.

" Nana, where is my kiss." I looked at him and came back and kissed his cheeks softly.

" Don't miss too much," I said waving toward all of them before leaving.

" Good luck," Evelyn said and kissed my cheeks.

" Thank you, mum."

" You are almost late, Mr. Obama is waiting for you outside. Remember to come back early." Peter said.

" Thank you, Dad," I replied. I was grateful for that. I was already late for work.

Mr. Obama was his driver.

Walking outside, I was greeted by a car waiting for me outside. I entered the car.

" Good morning, Mr. Obama."

" Good morning, young miss. Where to?"

" Firstly, I told you to call me Lina. Stop with this young miss of a thing. "

" Okay, Lina." He responded cheerfully

" To Douglas Alfonso group of company."

He started the engine and drove off. I was about to bring out my phone from my handbag when I heard him.

" Hmm? Lina, please if I may ask, are you going for an interview there?"

" Yeah," I replied without looking at him and brought out my phone.

" Good luck." I heard him say.

" Thank you, dear," I said and focused back on my phone

The car was silent once again after that. I looked at his face and noticed he was nervous and I knew he wanted to say something.

" What is it? Whatever it is just say it?"

He wanted to say something but he looked around him and just murmured three words

" Please be careful." I looked at him confused.

" We have arrived!" He said and looked at me through the review mirror.

I looked outside the car and cleared my throat and nodded.

" Okay thank you for the ride." before he could reply. I opened the door and left.

Looking up, the name " Douglas and Alfonso group of companies" was written largely with a golden and bronze iron ornament with a symbol of a lion and an undefined symbol embedded on the front before the entrance.

I looked at the tall skyscraper and held my handbag tighter before walking in.

Two security officers stopped me at the entrance and did a security check on me before allowing me in.

" Good morning ma, " I greeted a woman in the reception.

I looked around the place which looked slightly familiar only with a few changes but I'm sure I haven't been here before.

She looked at me weirdly before asking politely " Welcome ma, what can I do for you?"

" Please ma, I'm here for an interview."

" Oh, the interview has already started for five minutes now." That made my heart rate increase.

" Use the general elevator over here and move to the 34 floors. In the hall, open a single door and step in there. That is where it's holding. Good luck."

She said, I nodded and ran towards the elevator.

Entering the elevator, I met three people. without greeting any, I pressed the 34 floors. I prayed in my heart that I was not rejected or too late.

'Ding' the elevator opened. I breathed a sigh of relief and stepped out. I looked around another beautiful hall. Looking around the place, I sighted a single black door.

I moved towards it and opened the door. I was greeted by a few people sited there. I joined them, I was about to greet a young fine man beside me when I heard the inner door open and a young beautiful woman working out.

" Please, who is miss Lina Williams."

" I'm the one," I said and stood up.

" Come in," I stood up and followed her into the big opulently luxurious beautiful office. I looked around the office, but before I could admire it more. I heard the voice of a woman.

" Come and sit." Pulling out of my gaze, I looked back and found out the woman that brought me in has left.

I moved towards the chair and sat down opposite her. She opened my submitted CV, which I submitted online and which seems to have been newly printed.

She opened it and looked through it "Your CV is recommendable."

" Thank you ma."

" Let me have your designs." I pulled both of them from my handbag and submitted them to my table. She looked through it after which she asked me a few questions.

" We will call you back later. That is if you are selected. Your designs are recommendable."

" An email will be sent to you later."

" Thank you ma." I stood up and left.

As I came down, I was about to leave the building when the phone 'ding'

I pulled it out and swiped my finger across the screen.

I saw two messages from my inbox.

" Are you done? How was your interview?"

" Alex is coming back, be back fast. We are going to pick him up from the airport by 2:00 pm. He said he wants you to be the first person he will meet!"

I felt my heart rate accelerate and my face heating up, my first crush is coming back!
