MY CHIEF EXECUTIVE LOVER

CHAPTER: 5

The next morning , i woke up to an email from the company which i was supposed to interview for . It said :

Dear Atari ,
We are writing this email to inform you about a major change that has taken place in our company . Our company has been bought by the prestigious AMB group . Your interview scheduled in November will now take place tomorrow in the main headquarter of AMB group , Seattle . We hope this wouldn't be an inconvenience. Good luck !
Smith
HR head

OMG what ?? ! I will be an employee of the world famous AMB Group ?!
Is it really a dream ? I never thought i could get into such a great company .

For a second i was suspecting it might be a fraud , but then in the news , it was saying that the AMB Group had bought all the co-operations and companies in and near Seattle . This had lead to a major increase in the group's stock.

This group was considered as a superpower . I gotta tell this to Nina .

Nina <3

Atari:
Hey Nina ! You free ?
I have something really great to tell you .

Nina : What's up ? Everything ok ?

Atari:
Guess what ! I got a chance to interview for THE ONE AND ONLY AMB GROUP !!!!!

Nina :
What ??!! You're not kidding right ? OMG it's unbelievable . Good for you chap !

Atari :
Thanks 🙏
The interview's tomorrow . I am so excited !

Nina :
Go break a leg 😜 . I will have to go , will call you tonight . Bye sweetheart 💖

Atari:
Bye 👋

Another thing I have to do now , is to buy a formal dress . I don't have yet .

I got ready and was almost about to set out when it started raining hard . I hate rains !!

So i thought instead of getting a new set i will just wear the dress Layla gave me . That will do .

I spent the rest is the day unboxing stuff and arranging my house .
I wanted to scream out and say
I am employed and a fucking property owner !!!

I was just so happy that my life was getting on the track I wanted to ride !

At around 6 pm when i was washing some utensils and was about to cook i got a call .

It was Mrs. Marshall . She is now a rather good OLD friend of mine . It's been only two days since i moved and she calls me almost five to six times a day just to check how everything's going . She is being a little too interfering , some would say , but i am happy . I feel welcomed .

I pick up her call.

" Hello ? Atari could you please come down . I had made some mac and cheese but it's seems it's burnt . I am so angry at this oven . I don't want to cook again . " She said in a rather cranky voice .

"Oh sure Mrs.Marshall . I'll be right there . "

Old-age is no different than childhood . In both the stages of life , they need some one to depend on .
Sadly Mrs. Marshall lives alone . So maybe it's my duty , as a neighbor .

"Oh you're here , Atari dear ! Look at this mess the little oven has created i hate it . I'll tell my snuggles to get it changed tomorrow . "

She then stopped short . And asked me
" By the way dear , how old are you ? "

" Almost about to be 23 , Mrs. Marshall " I replied .

"Oh just the age just the age . You're perfect dear . Oh good lord this is great " . She exclaimed.

"What is so perfect about me being 23 Mrs. Marshall ? "

"Oh nothing dear . From now on don't call me Mrs. Marshall , it makes me feel even older . Call me grumps ! "

"Grumps ? But why ? ."

Without replying she walked away with her walking stick towards the kitchen .

I was bewildered. Last time i had not really entered her house fully i was there in the doorway , and from the looks of her apartment it felt huge . I mean on that floor this was the only apartment. But today , as i entered it further , her place was so big as if she owned the whole floor . And it certainly was true.

The size of her kitchen and pantry was almost the size of my whole apartment. Her pantry was a whole supermarket !

Mrs. Marshall , now whom i will call grumps , understood my expression.

" Oh yes it's true how big my place is . My grandson , snuggles bought this for me . And made a whole supermarket in my pantry because he doesn't want me to go out and trouble myself . God gave me such a nice grandson . He takes so much care of me . But i didn't want such a huge house . I get tired of walking sometimes . " She said

" Your grandson must really love you grumps . "
On hearing me say grumps , she was elated .

" My snuggles is very passionate . He loves everyone . He is such a good boy ." She said

I started with cleaning her oven while she kept talking about her grandson's achievements . She was so talkative , i never knew someone this chatty .
I cooked her some salad , mac and cheese since she insisted on having that , soup and brownies .
I wanted to cook alot more. She had almost everything in her pantry one could think of . She is so lucky to have such a grandson.

I set the table , and we both say down to eat .
" After so many days i am having dinner with a real person . " She said .

"Is your grandson never home grumps ?" I asked

" Oh that brat he keeps saying he will come and visit me soon but never comes . He came here last week and that too just to check on my health . "
Grumps said .

" Oh so he doesn't stay here with you ?" I asked again

" No , that boy got his own palce . Why would he share a house with this grumpy old grumps . Only if you were my grand daughter , i would never be alone . " She said and laughed

I joined her in her laughter .

" You cook really well Atari . You're the most perfect person . "

I still don't understand what's so perfect about me that keeps saying i am just the right one ..
But whatever be it , i had fun .
