Making the Cut

2022-12-24 04:26:18Meanwhile, back at home Diana was waiting for Mitchel to come from the shower so that she could tell her that she wouldn't be willing to quit her job just for the sake of getting into Global Tech. When Mitchell came out of the shower, she looked at Diana with troublesome eyes
"Where did you disappear off to?" Mitchell asked
" I just wanted to have some coffee and escape your devious plan " Diana answered
" No matter what you say, you know that I'll still push you towards that job opening. If I were qualified, I wouldn't even have asked you but I'm also looking out for you. What if you get the job and I don't get Mr billionaire? It's still a win win. Have you seen the salary there offering here? My goodness " Mitchell exclaimed
" I'm good where I am, the pay is good and I've adjusted to that working environment quite well"Diana defended himself
" But you won't be able to make as much as they're offering here. Will you please just agree to send in your CV? If they don't give you any feedback, I promise I'll back off" Mitchell said
" You promise? " Diana asked
"I promise. And I already sent your CV to them while you were out there" Mitchell said to Diana's surprise
After around three days, they got a response from Global Tech inviting Diana in for an interview since she had met their requirements. Between Diana and Mitchell, Mitchell was actually more happy more than Diana when they received that email. Diana prepared herself and wore one of her best working clothes ready for the interview. When she got to the building, she presented the email to the reception and got directed to the interviewing panel. As this was happening, Ryan also happened to be around and just as Diana was done with her interview they met each other on the lift. At first, Diana didn't recognize him and just assumed him to be one of the applicants for the position she was applying for. There was a moment of silence in the lift as Ryan tried to put together how he would start that conversation
"Diana, right?" He finally broke the silence
" Uuhm, yes. You kinda look familiar "
"I'm surprised you don't remember me but I guess it's understandable. It's Ryan, we met a few days ago at the coffee shop"
" Oh yeah, now I remember you. Didn't expect to see you here. So, are you here for the interview as well?"
" No I'm not, I sometimes do deliveries for Global Tech. Wait, you're here for the marketing job? " He asked
" Yes, I was just giving it a try. But I have to say, the competition is tough in there" she answered
" I'm sure they'll like you. I hope you get the job, that way I could see you more often around here"
" I wouldn't get my hopes up that much"
As she said this, they were just exiting the lift and Diana said goodbye to him as she headed for the exit. Ryan had an idea in his head to which he planned on following up on. He got back into the lift and headed for his office. When he entered the office, Olivia seemed surprised to see him again
"I thought you were leaving already" she said
" Yes, but I've had some change of plans. Has the marketing department finished up with the interviews? " He asked
" Yes, why? "
" I was wondering how many candidates qualified for the job "
" Well, considering that all the invited applicants were qualified for the job the decision shouldn't take long. According to what I'm seeing here, it says that the invited number of applicants was five more than the required number. It'll take around an hour or so for the committee to make a final decision as to who weren't qualified enough for the job"
Ryan waited in the office to see who had made the final cut and who had not qualified to be part of the team. After around one hour, the feedback came back in and Ryan was eager to see the list of those who had not made the cut. When he didn't see a Diana, he actually smiled since he now knew that he would be able to see her more frequently around the building.
"Someone is happy about something. It's been a while since I've seen that kind of smile on your face, who's the girl?" Olivia asked
" What,no. What are you talking about? " Ryan quickly defended himself
" Come on Ryan. Only a girl can make a man smile like that, but if you don't want to tell me, I'll find out sooner rather than later " Olivia said. As she said this Ryan quickly escaped the office since he knew that she would keep pushing till she knew who the girl was. He left the building and went back to the coffee shop where surprisingly saw Diana and Mitchell just leaving the shop. He walked up to them and Mitchell was the first to speak up
"Well hello handsome" she said
"Quit it" Diana told her as she turned to Ryan
" Hello, can we toast to the newest member of Global Tech " Ryan said as he raised an imaginary toast
"Wait, what are you talking about?" Diana asked
" Well I went back since I had forgotten something and surprise surprise, they released the names of the one interviewees who had gotten the job. You were one of them" Ryan said enthusiastically
" Oh my God, yes" Mitchell celebrated while Diana was still absorbing the news. She couldn't believe that she actually qualified for the job. She jumped and hugged Ryan out of excitement, something that caught both him and Mitchell by surprise but he just hugged her back. As she hung on his neck, she realized what she had done and let go immediately. She just watched him in shock and confusion. Mitchell was quick to let out a giggle when she realized the awkward silence that was looming.

While they were back in the apartment Mitchell kept eyeing Diana mischievously as they were preparing dinner"Can you quit looking at me like that?" She asked Mitchell" Like what? I'm not looking at you in any way" Michelle defended herself as she nudged Diana using her butt."I know what your doing and before you even start making it a fuss, the answer is either I don't know, don't want to know or no" Diana told her"You haven't even heard what I was about to say" Mitchell said with a sigh. She then looked at Diana with puppy dog eyes to get some sympathy. In addition to this , she puffed her lips and tried to make herself look as sad as possible. Just like when a baby is about to throw a tantrum after being denied something"That's not going to work on me and you should probably check on your noodles" Diana said as she noticed that the food was about to spill over from boiling making Mitchell react fast by turning off the burner."Close call," Mitchell said, "these noodles look goo

After a few minutes Ryan was at their doorstep with a bottle of expensive wine in hand. Mitchell was the one who opened the door for him as Diana was serving food for him. At the doorstep, Mitchell made sure to be loud enough for Diana to heard her "Hey handsome, that was fast" she said"Well, I was still around the neighborhood getting ready to head home and stuff like that. But since Diana invited me here, I thought it wouldn't be bad if I accepted the invitation" Ryan said as he handed her the glass of wine."My oh my. Boy you got taste. Where did you get this fine glass?" Mitchell asked as she walked him into the small dinning room."I just dropped by a liquor store and asked for one of their finest and vintage wine." Ryan responded as Diana welcomed him into the room with a hug. Despite it being evening, she noticed that his cologne was still strong and he still smelled fresh like he was straight from the shower. A bonus to her. He was still wearing the black suit which lacked t

And that's how I just got her to ask me to stay the night. So I gladly took on this offer and told her that it wouldn't be a problem. I could feel my intrusive thoughts start lurking around about all the things that we could do but since I wasn't aiming for that, I just pushed them aside. I leaned back into the couch and her movement on the couch made me turn to her to see what she was up to. To my surprise, she got up with the small blanket in hand and snuggled up next to me such that she leaned on my chest and her face was next to mine. With every passing second she snuggled closer and closer as if she wasn't comfortable enough. It was when I stretched out my arm for her to come closer and wrapped it around her when I saw that she was much more comfortable. I could feel her steady breathing on my chest as we watched another movie. No matter how much I tried to concentrate on the movie, I could feel her gaze shift from the movie to me a couple of times. She did this in a way that sug

Things were good for the next few days. I was talking to Diana on a daily basis and to be honest I couldn't tell if she wanted to just hook up or if she wanted more. At this point in my life, I wasn't really into getting into a relationship since my past had enough scars that humbled me. I know you must be thinking how can a billionaire have everything and still lack the love of a woman who is expected to stand by his side and make the perfect couple. The answer is simple, the same way a famous movie quote said, 'with great power comes great responsibility ' I also have a saying that goes well with my situation, 'with a lot of money comes a lot of responsibilities'. Funny, right? But that's the truth. The moment you find yourself in a position that's higher than everyone else either in terms of wealth or power, you never seem to know who are your actual friends or if their just people hoping to benefit from being associated to you. I learnt this the hard way. As I was in my house thin

General point of viewIt's evening and Diana and Mitchell were in their apartment just watching some movies and enjoying some good time. While at this, Mitchell was also working on the computer trying to see if she could find another part time job in order to increase her income."So, how is it going with Ryan?" She asked Diana without even looking at her"It's going good, I mean we have had some meet ups here and there but I can say it's all good" Diana responded" You know I don't want that kind of answer. I'm asking like have you done anything yet that he can't do with anyone else out here? " Mitchell asked" I know what you meant to ask and that's why I didn't answer you. Wait, are you already having gitters about your car? " Diana teased. She could see that Mitchell wasn't looking at her but she knew that the car she had put on the line would be one of her most prized possessions. Personally she didn't care if she won or lost, at the end of the day she wouldn't take her car just

Mitchell agreed to accompany Diana to where she would meet Ryan since she had nothing to do at the house. They met downtown and Ryan was wearing a casual wear but not too causal. The moment Diana saw him, she realized that Ryan could basically make a casual wear look so classy. He hugged them both and seemed quite surprised to see Mitchell with Diana. Instinctively, Diana told him that she was just there to make sure that she had company before they meet. So Ryan ordered for a cab and paid for Mitchell's drive home."Now, where are we going this fine evening?" Diana asked" I think it would be best that it should say as a surprise. But just to put it out there, we are not going to one place for the majority of the night " Ryan answered as he called for a cab for them and they got in"To Belfast hotel" he instructed the driverWhen Diana heard this she was quite impressed, Belfast was one of the top hotels in the city but it was located in the outskirts of the city where not much activ

When they were shown their seats Diana couldn't stop looking at her surroundings and just admire the place. They were left alone for a few minutes to settle and relax while they think about what they would like to have. Diana couldn't wait any longer and just had to ask"How in the hell did you afford this?" She asked him to which Ryan just gave a chuckle and looked at her smiling."What can I say, I know a few people who know a few people who can make things happen" Ryan answered" So you didn't actually pay for this? " She asked" Oh no darling, I paid for this heftily. It's no joke when they say this place is for the high class. But what's there to life if you don't enjoy the small that you have? Why make money and not use it? " He asked her" Fair point " she repliedWhen it was time to order the menu had almost every kind of food that you can expect in a fancy hotel like that one. They ordered and ate their food which was surprisingly one of the best food that Diana had ever come

The car pulled up and Ryan helped Diana get out of the car since she had the blindfold on. He stood by her side and walked her into the building where the surprise awaited her. From the moment she walked into the building, she felt the environment change into somewhat of a calming sensation. The place was quiet making her question where they were given the fact that she could hear some footsteps here and there but not much talking. As they walked she could also hear some people gasp in almost silent awe at what they were seeing. All of this made Diana want to know what was happening all around her."I hope you're good in there" Ryan confirmed" I am but my anticipation is going over the moon to know where I am since from what I can sense around me it seems I'm missing out on a lot " Diana answered him. Before Ryan could say anything else he was approached by a lady who addressed him"Mr Ryan, if you and your plus one don't mind, please follow me" she saidWith her hand around his arm

From the moment she woke up, her face lit up as the morning rays hit her skin."Someone's excited about today," Mitchell commented as she watched Diana take her breakfast."Of course I am, Ryan is going to propose today," she squealed excitedly." Just a reminder, don't get too excited. Ryan might have different plans," Mitchell reminded her." Fuck other plans, everything that he has been doing for the past few months have indicated to this day. All signs have suggested that if there's a day he will ask for my hand in marriage, today would be it." She told Mitchell confidently.She couldn't help but keep looking at the dress and jewelry that Ryan had gotten her for the night.

Ryan had finally decided to do it. Every hint led to this and it has just started playing out as they had thought it would.Before the day that they were about to fly out, Ryan told Diana that she can bring Mitchell if she wanted to and who was Mitchell to not want to join them. At this point, they could tell that Ryan wasn't even trying to hide the fact that he was rich. To Mitchell and Diana , this meant that Ryan was probably building up to telling Diana his true identity to which Diana was prepared to act surprised and all.
The Broken Billionaire Justina
Diana was quiet and tried to keep her mind busy as she was thinking about her next course of action. Mitchell knew that she had said enough and it was up to Diana to decide what to do. This was the first time that Mitchell was seeing Diana being that concerned about matters concerning love.The change that Ryan had brought in Diana was uncomprehendable to Mitchell. She never thought that Diana could be this concerned about a man. However, even as Diana's best friend, Mitchell had a few questions of her own regarding why Diana wasn't willing to risk letting Ryan go.Some of these questions originated from the fact that the had learnt about Ryan's true identity and had even confirmed it for themselves. To Mitchell, it seemed that Diana had turned out to be Justina, just in a different body. To her, this new finding had made Diana more willing to keep the secret and not risk loosing Ryan.This might sound like a bad thought coming from Diana's own best friend. But I know that as you read

"So how are things going on for you and Ryan?" Mitchell asked Diana as they were preparing their food."Things are going great. I mean it's been around six months with him and I can tell that he's really serious with me," Diana answered as she was just taking a seat."Who would've thought," Mitchell said to herself as she sat next to Diana.In her own mind, Mitchell had never taken Diana for a lover girl. He always saw her as the friend who wanted to have fun in the moment. Even as she had dared Diana when they met Ryan, she didn't think it would go this far."Your mind is on to something," Diana said as she urged Mitchell to speak up."I'm just thinking of how things are going. You've changed over the past few months, and I dare say it's because of Ryan" she spilled."Changed? How?" "Come on, you ain't the same person you were an year ago.

The Broken Billionaire Ryan Talks to Olivia
Three Days LaterRyan was in his living room with Rodriguez in his office going over some reports that had been sent to him by Olivia. Ever since Ryan distanced himself from the company, Olivia had been running it all by herself and gave a report from the executives of the company to Ryan.This, however, meant that Ryan and Olivia didn't not see each other as much as they used to and on Olivia's side, she always felt like something was missing. She was never comfortable with Ryan not being around the company since she was used to his presence and now with him gone, the place felt deserted.Rodriguez had come to notice this everytime he visited the company to check on how things were running but never mentioned it to Ryan who seemed already preoccupied with Justina and Diana's situation.On this particular day, the week was coming to a close and the company was about to take a scheduled one week holiday so that the staff could get some room to breath.

The Broken Billionaire All's Well?
After days of not talking to each other, Diana finally decided to call Ryan and ask if they could meet. This came as a surprise to him but he was willing to see what the meeting will yield.So, on the day they were to meet up, Ryan got ready and was well on his way to the restaurant that Diana had suggested. On his way there, he got a call from Christian who was with Rodriguez at the time."Where are you?" Christian asked when he heard the wind blowing on Ryan's end."I'm outside, going to meet Diana," he responded.Silence.Christian and Rodriguez looked at each other not sure that they had heard him right. Trying to figure out how to ask if he was kidding or not, Ryan went on,"I know the question you're about to ask me, and the answer is yes. I'm still seeing Diana. She called me and said she wanted to talk." " But Ryan, she knows who you really are. Don't you think that poses a threat to you?" Rodriguez asked, concerned that Diana might end up being a loose end just like Justina.
