Wonder POV
I came out of lift and 8 people were sitting on a couch having coffee, looking nervous. I sat down with them as their eyes scanned me top to bottom, I don't care if people judge me by my looks I am good at what I do and that's enough.
I was mentally preparing for the interview when a model like girl came out and said with a attitude " You guys can go , the person is already selected ". "It's Rudy the son of famous builder isn't it ? " The guy next to me said angrily." WHAT?? " Another guy shouted and everybody else muttered something angrily too.
"That has nothing to do with who he is but yes" okay that revelation boiled my blood as well" Are you kidding us ?Is this some joke, show me his percentile score, come on or I'll call the media right here ". I said to her in a calm tone and everybody else supported me , she started fidgeting with her fingers at that and I knew what the truth exactly is "Give me his scores right this instant". I said to her in a warning tone , her eyes grew wider at that ...atleast...I thought so but she was looking behind me all the time
" Mr.Sokolov!! I can explain" She finally said ,Oh so the boss is here.
I turned around and glared at the old man dressed in an elegant white suit , he was really handsome for his age but what caught my eyes was his silver eyes it was the same color as the fallen angel I withdrew out of my thoughts...Not the right time!
" Is this what happens in the infamous Sokolov cooperation , favouritism??? " I said pointing at him and he looked confused at me and then miss attitude. He looked at me staring right in my eyes and I did the same , honestly his stare was really intimidating but I am not the wrong one here , so I'm not going to back down. I matched his stare , It was like a competition that I won after he finally set his gaze on Miss attitude and I took a sigh of relief... good god...
" You're fired , John take her out along with the manager ". She was a crying mess yet didn't said a word. John guy took out a struggling man who i think is the manager but as soon as his eyes fell on Mr.Dave he stilled and didn't said a word, it's like they knew there is no point... that's some power he holds over people...
He finally looked at all of us " I'm sorry for all this ruckus, I assure you there is no sort of favouritism goes around here.I don't tolerate it and the results you have seen with your eyes, your interviews will be conducted as per guidelines by the deputy manager fair and square, alright?" We all nodded and he looked at me " Miss..?" he looked at me for my name
" Wonder Hart " I said , he smiled charmingly...this is the first time I have seen a smile on him...I didn't even know that he can smile...I mean he doesn't look like a happy go lucky... smily person..." Miss Wonder Hart, Will you please follow me? " I nodded and went with him... I could feel all the other candidates eyes on me... Okay this is making me nervous now.
We entered the lift and he pressed the button for top floor, the door opened in a beautiful corridor with huge chandelier, I followed him inside a room like a lost puppy and I almost gasped... this was by far the best thing in whole building I saw.
His office was bigger than my whole home, so pristine... and well organised like him...it had a mirror on the ceiling and large window running from bottom of the floor till the top of the room giving city's beautiful view , he sat on the chair that looked more comfortable than any couch behind a large table.
"Have a seat Miss Wonder" I sat down still looking around the room he pulled out some papers and went through them before looking back at me... it's hard to tell what's he thinking...
" 24, Aced the interview in first go with remarkable percentile , great scores in high school and got your degree at a young age but a break of a year , May I know why Miss Wonder?". He asked, so that was my resume " Of course, Mr.Sokolov , I had a acute heart disease I got to know about few weeks after my graduation, shifted here for better treatment and got it full scale, finally after few months by God's grace I found an angel that donated me the heart and here I am now ". I told him the full story, something told me he wanted to hear it all and he did listened intently"Such a courage and fight packed inside such a young girl" he said smiling looking at me admiringly his gaze warm nothing like the one in the corridor.
I hate people looking at me with sympathy but he held no such emotion in his eyes...there was only admiration.... making me smile too.
" I have a different job offer for you and this will be your salary if you decide to join in " he said scribbling something on a paper and passed it to me , I looked at it." Excuse my language Mr Sokolov but what the hell is the job that you are offering me this much , I haven't seen this many zeros in my entire life ". He laughed and what a laugh it was...it seemed so calculated yet so free... not more... not less...
" Please call me Dave when we are alone sweetie Mr.Sokolov reminds me of my age , you are perfect for the job, I know it ".
I looked at him suspiciously" Is it something illegal ?" I asked and he laughed more wiping his eyes he said " No...! no! Haha... look with your score I would have definitely hired you for the senior accountant position but you don't have any experience at all so that job is out of question for you , the idiot manager of mine shouldn't even have picked you, to be honest but I am glad he did, you're talented and a fighter therefore I want you to assist my son at this pay every month " He said pointing to the paper..
" You'll have to manage his meetings , his accounts , his schedules , his meals and his image so basically all his life ". " No offence Dave but your son's reputation is six feet under ground having lunch with ants, this is coming from me who didn't even watched TV or visited social media sites in almost a year and from what I could decipher you expect me to keep him in line thus fixing his dead reputation ".
He sighed audibly and started rubbing his temples scribbled something else on paper and passed it to me " No offence taken, you have the brains and I'm desparate ,I know you can do this and I am paying you for it ". I looked at the paper and he had added two more zeros to the already big figure. " Think about it sweetie, tell me by Wednesday he is taking my position from next week , here this is my personal number call anytime when you want ".
I nodded and we had a tea together in silence, I left the room after that looking back at him once more...he looked so...miserable right now with his head in his hands...so rich yet so poor.
