Stumbled Upon You

Chapter 1~ and we meet again

7:00 am

Beep beep.
"Uggh"
It was the time to wake up but I was still half praying that maybe the alarm was broken and was blowing prior the set time.

Still chanting Jesus' name I opened a single eye to check the time and sinked in bed full with disappointment.

'Time really flies' I thought. It was only 2 weeks ago, I  had come to San Jose. How excited I was when she heard all about these big multinational companies this city held and have dreamt that maybe I'll be working in one such big company too which would offer me big pay checks.....

But only if i had a better portfolio, I could've applied for all those big posts paying huge checks. But no, right now I'll be satisfied with any job like seriously any job.

"But the recruiting teams are all fucking assholes"I  muttered holding my stressed temples.

" No no no!!!!. I need to prove myself. I need a job and need money and a job and money and more money and more of fucking money"

"And I want money too my dear Berry. But if you  plan to just sit here and whine for money and not fucking move your ass for it, I am sorry to remind but you still have rent to pay"
"Yes mrs. Ranny"
Mrs. Ranny or Rachael Ranny was the owner of the house. An old lady touching almost fifty filled with loneliness brimming to her soul. She had agreed to give her two rooms as rent for half the price of the money that should be issued, mainly because she was so lonely always, missing her abroad settled kids and her long died husband that she was was always longing for some sort of company

The day I went to check her house, she told me all this,I pretended to cry and sympathise with her but inside I was kinda happy that I was getting a house for so cheap which I knew was wrong .

But even though she was a cracked up lady but was fairly kind hearted.

"okay so if you don't get up from my bed right now and go find out some work, I am gonna pick you up and slice you up in my shredder and will feed your shreds to my dog!" She was now shouting.
"You don't have dogs" I muttered under my breath as I pretended to get up.
"Yea, I don't. But before shredding you up I'll make sure to take out your lovely organs and sell them and then I'll have enough to buy a 100 dogs."

And did I just called her ' kind hearted!
Bah!

               ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Excuse me, I am here for the interview for the job of P.A"
"Yes ma'am, you should go to the ninth floor. You'll find Mr. North there, he will himself be taking the interviews."
"Okay thanks" I muttered.

I moved away from the reception and entered the lift. Everything in this office looked so posh and beautiful, it was more of a seven-star hotel. And obviously it'd be. The North Rhine company was one of the biggest company of the state and one of the biggest exporter of oil throughout the country and even abroad. The owner is said to have inherit the property from his father just 2 years ago and is now one of the richest man of the state.

The ring of the elevator brought me back to my conscience and I stepped out I saw, there was only one room in the floor, of Mr. North. But what caught her sight was the line of the girls in front of the room. Caked with makeup, elegant clothes and high heels, I started cursing myself internally for not wearing something better than a knee long grey skirt, a white netted top and white sparkling sneakers.

I took the farthest seat from others fully aware of being the epicentre of everyone's attention. Maybe I shouldn't have tried such a big company, the chances are so low of being chosen compared to these girls. I drew a long breath. I know it'll be just a waste of time.

That was when the blondie entered checking herself for the last time in the adjoining window. Yup girl, you look super hot now just get inside fast, I muttered under my breath.

It wasn't even two minutes and she came out and stormed out of the office angrily. The other girls giggled at her. And then the next girl entered who had neon Blue highlights and she came out very early too. I thought it was a interview and interviews takes time. What's wrong.

As I saw the line of girls shortening,my heart started pacing faster. Soon it would be my turn. I thought to run away, maybe that man was really a jerk rejecting all these girls. What did he wanted, Kendall Jenner. Yes I should run away too, atleast it'll save me from all the embarrassment.

I got up from my seat and picked up my files and portfolio heading towards the exit but a voice stopped me.

" It's your turn, where are you going?"
The girl who came after me said.

She was right. All the girls who sat before me were gone. The girl just before me exited the office in haste and ran towards the exit door. Yes,she was declined too.

I started trembling. Should I go in or run away. I couldn't chose.

"Are you going in or not?" The girl asked again.

"Okay" I whispered myself. Better than running away, let's face the guy. He've really got some serious issues in him rejecting everyone like that
Slowly I headed towards the office door and knocked the door twice.
" May I come in?".
There wasn't any reply.
" Should I come in?" this time a bit loud, but still there wasn't any reply.

I peeped open the door but I couldn't see anyone on the chair so I decided to take a step forward and it was then my long skirt got struck on the edge of the door, tearing it from the side making it a kind of slit skirt and I tripped over it.

Before I could try to do anything else, I heard footsteps approaching. I looked up to see the man in front of me.

And it was then my heart stopped.
No this couldn't be him.
Of all the people this couldn't be him.
"Parkson" I gasped.
