Her best friend

✨Chapter 3✨

*Next day* 

Skylar's POV 

I woke up early today and quickly made breakfast. I couldn't eat last night because I lost the appetite to do that.

  "Ella, come down for breakfast"

  "Just minute sis. Good morning big sis"

  "Morning baby. How was your night?"

  "It was fine. Did you eat last night?"

  "Oh.. yeah, I ate"

  "That's great."

She hurriedly ate her food and picked her back.

  "I'm off to school"

  "Alright, have a nice day"

I'm left alone now. Where exactly do I start my job hunting? Let me check online.

I searched for available jobs but none of them went in line with what I studied. Besides, the pay is not that great; I don't even think it will be enough to pay half of Ella's School fee if I deduct transport fare.

I was about giving up when I saw a vacancy at C. A (Carter Andrian) company. I know I won't be employed so I shouldn't waste my time going there.

I've gone to all the companies around here but there's no vacancy. What do I do?

C. A company keeps coming to my mind but I'm trying my possible best to put it behind me.

The CEO is hot tempered and arrogant like I heard so I don't want to go there. It's not like I'm scared of him or something, I just want to avoid trouble but now that I need to pay Ella's fees urgently, trying my luck might not be a bad idea.

If I'm able to get employed, I won't have problems with Ella's tuition for a while.

I took a quick bath and went to the company. Here goes nothing.

I paid the cab man after we arrive at the company and I went inside.

The company is really big and beautiful, I must admit. Skylar, focus!

I went straight to the reception.

  "Good day miss, how can we help you?" one of the receptionist asked me

  "I'm here concerning the vacancy"

  "Ohh... The interview is to take place on Saturday. All you have to do is submit your CV online then come with the original copy on Saturday for the interview"

  "Thank you. Is that all?"

  "Yes miss"

  "Alright, have a nice day"

I released the breath I didn't know I've been holding when I got outside.

Phew! That was easier than I thought. I wish tomorrow is Saturday. 

Zoey's POV

Andrian didn't pick me up yesterday and I suggested going to his mansion but he asked me not to come.

Something seems fishy. I know he doesn't like ladies but still I'm different from them and he doesn't joke with me so why did he ask me not to come? Let me call him again.

  "Good afternoon" I greeted casually

  "Afternoon Zoey. How are you doing?"

  "I'm doing fine. Why did you ask me not to come to your mansion?"

  "I will explain to you when we talk face to face, it's not something I can explain on phone"

  "Where do you want us to meet when you clearly asked me not to come to your mansion?"

  "I don't know yet. Uhhm.... "

  "Should we meet in a restaurant then?"

Surprisingly, he agreed. Is this still Andrian? Someone that doesn't like going to places like that to avoid paparazzi and the media. 

  "Okay then. Starbucks, 7pm" I said and hanged up without waiting for his reply. He should know I'm really mad at him.

Mason's POV

I will finally be going back to USA, can't wait to screw all the girls there. There's a particular girl I'm going for and that's Skylar.

We attended the same highschool and I asked her to be my girlfriend then but she turned me down.

No girl has ever done that before. Who would dare do that? Girls were always flocking  around me for my good looks and money but she was trying to prove to me that she's  different and I'm going to teach her a lesson. 

I left her then because I had important things to take care of but now, I'm going for her.

I will make sure I f*ck her until she beg for mercy. 

Skylar Brandon, get ready because I'm coming for you.

Andrian's POV

I feel bad with the way I'm treating Zoey because she has been my childhood friend but I don't have a choice.

I know Avery wasn't joking last night so if I ask Zoey to come to the mansion and Zoey finds out, only God knows what she will do to me.

  "I'm sorry Zoey"

There are many applicants that are willing to be my PA and I'm beginning to have second thoughts on handling the interview myself.

I don't think I will get able to interview those many people.

  "Ask Kyle to meet me in my office" I said through the intercom.

Kyle came running in few minutes later.

  "You sent for me sir?"

  "Yes. You will get the one to handle the interview on Saturday"

  "But why sir? I.. I mean... you"

  "I know but the applicants are much so just handle them yourself"

  "Okay sir"

  " You can leave now" I dismissed him and focused on my work so I will be able to get to the restaurant on time.

Skylar's POV 

I got home and just sat down staring into space when I suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Huh? Who could that be? The only friend I have is Audrey but she travelled so I haven't seen her in a while.

The knock persisted and I had no choice than to open the door.

  "Audrey!" I screamed and jumped on her. I've missed her so much

  "You're still as crazy as I left you huh?" she said not breaking the hug

  "What are you talking about? I'm really gentle" I pouted my lips

  "Yeah, really gentle" she said with her voice filled with sarcasm

  "I've really missed you. Why are you just coming back now?"

  "I went to college, remember?" she said with her brows raised

  "Ohh.... So how is college?" 

  "It's fine, I will be done in two years time. What of Ella?"

  "She's in school"

  "She must have grown into a woman now"

  "Yeah, she's growing really fast. What would you like to eat?"

  "Stop treating me like a stranger in my own house. I will go to the kitchen when I'm hungry"

  "Alright"

  "So how is work?" she asked the question I dreaded the most

Audrey is my childhood friend and I can say we are best of friends so I don't hide things from her.

I explained everything to her without leaving a single detail.

  "I don't know how I'm going to pay Ella's tuition and her exam is coming up in two weeks."

  "You have to pull yourself together and think positively, okay? I have a strong feeling you will be employed in C. A company"

  "Stop talking nonsense, there's no way I will get employed into such big company."

  "Skylar you can't just give up without trying. Believe in yourself like you've always done"

  "Thank you Audrey. You're always there to encourage me and this is part of the main reason why I missed you so much"

  "So what do you have?"

  "It's your house like you said so go to the kitchen" I said and we both giggled.
