Heavy Sleepers

Chapter 4

Dear Ms. Warden,

It has come to our attention through the Dorhei company chain that you, Ms warden, have the job qualifications and skill set that we are currently searching for in our new opening position. If you are interested in this job, please call as soon as possible during business hours to set up a meeting with Mr. Dorhei.

The email continued on with the businesses contacts. At the very bottom, there was a contact that read Xavier Dorhei's personal number. Even the name of her potential boss tempted her.

She convinced herself that adding his number was for good measure as her peach nails tapped on her phone screen. Tomorrow she'd call the secretary instead of him. She didn't want to jeopardize a professional relationship if she did follow through with the job.

She felt a little guilty lying in her bed. She rocked back and forth with anxiety wondering why she was acting different. A small part of her tried really hard to persuade herself that she was doing this for the new opportunity, but it was almost like that part knew it was lying too.

She wanted to see the man in which the voice belonged to. The silky voice that made her feel so hot to her core. Luckily, she took a nap right after work because she probably would've called right after she got off her shift.

And then the guilt settled in again. She wanted to dream about the mysterious man again that plagued her dreams or maybe what her new boss would look like, but then the universe didn't deliver any of her greedy wishes. Instead she went to bed with nothing on her mind other than the darkness that surrounded her in her room.

She promised herself she'd wait until 11:35 until she called the secretary. Thus she kept herself busy. She braided two long cornrows down to her back from the leftover extension from another hairstyle. She tediously worked on the strokes of the toothbrush as she layed her baby hairs do her forehead. Then she wrapped it tightly it a scarf.

Once she finished, she automatically picked up her phone. 11:34...

Any other time, I would've taken forever- She thought to herself. She picked up the phone and dialled the number. It was immediately picked up on the second ring by spritely voice.

"You're speaking to Xavier Dorhei's personal secretary, what can I help you with." The smile was almost audible on the other end, and Aria almost didn't know how to answer back.

"Umm, Mr. Dorhei offered a job to me yesterday and emailed me. I'm just responding." Something fumbled around on the other end, and the voice seemed even more up beat.

"Oh, this is Ms. Warden. I was expecting you to call call sooner. Yes, Mr. Dorhei is elated that you are joking are family." She said, and Aria wanted to roll her eyes. He must've been so confident in the fact that she would join him. She wanted to stubbornly put down the phone, but she couldn't. She already was on the phone committing herself.

"Please save all your questions for next Monday. You'll be meeting Mr. Dorhei then. Wear something business casual and...." she paused right be she hung up, "it was nice to hear from you. Show up at the office around 3:00. Don't be late."
