CHAPTER 15

ISHITA'S POV

I was greatly mesmerized upon my entrance here at Joshua's company up until now that we are seated in his office, I was still looking around fascinated with everything. I was really nervous from when I started to ride my first ever taxi ride of my life up to when I reached the company. I was so scared when I called for the taxi but thankfully, the taxi driver was so kind. He noticed that I was a little scared and seemed a little lost so he asked everything carefully and slowly. I was thankful for that little gesture of the taxi driver. I never knew people; strangers are just kind enough to help. I wish everyone is like him.

"Would you like some coffee?"

"Uh no sorry, I don't drink coffee in mid-days."

"Oh sorry. Cold juice then?"

"Anything will but coffee."

I smiled as Joshua went and called for service. Wow, looking at Joshua here in his own working premises, he looked rather stoic and so formal unlike his usual carefree and casual self when he's outside his company. I also noticed how everyone in his company just gives him complete attention especially the women which unknowingly, Joshua just ignores. He really just gets the attention of everyone.

"So about the hiring, we have all the official offers here."

Joshua handed me a folder as I opened it and scanned through the list of their offers. And as I read through them, I was shocked at how big the income they give for a single employee; 40,000php a month (55,838.66 Indian rupee) and that is four times my salary in the massage center.

"40,000 is the standard salary?"

I asked in shock and looked at Joshua as he simply nodded.

"Yes. It is the starting salary of every employee who just entered the company. The salary will raise depending on how high you will be promoted along the process of your working days in the company."

40,000 pesos is just the starting salary? Just wow, and just how rich is Joshua? I just realized how we are very much different especially in life status.

"So let me explain what entails your job if even you are officially hired. So as I told you, the starting salary is 40,000. The bonuses will be separated and just to remind you that bonuses will also be given to newly employed employees. There will also be a separate allowance for your food which is 10,000 a month; allowance for your extra necessities, another 10,000 a month and another 15,000 for your private services that needs the inclusions of the company products and name itself. A total of 35,000 extra allowance for you. And all in all, every end of the month you will be give 75,000 pesos upon your first pay day. And mid you Ms. Ishita that whether or not you use the allowance given to you, is not the company's care. It's your own decision to spend it but;"

I slowly breathe as I calmed myself from the excitement growing in me. I was just too shocked and fascinated with all the big offers of the company.

"But, only through the company card can you get the salary and bonuses. We will provide you your own company ATM card and this will be the only medium for every money transaction with you and the company. And our company card is very much different, only you will be authorized to use the card as your fingerprint will be imbedded together with your card, for safety precautions. And I hope you understand everything as per our company's rules and etiquettes."

"Yes, I clearly understand Mr. President."

I nodded as he smiled a little to me. The juice then came just in time as Joshua silently shooed his P.A away leaving us two again the wide office.

"Have a break first and drink. Feel free to tell me if you want more."

I smiled at Joshua as I sipped on the cold juice. I started looking around yet again as my eyes landed on the huge display cabinet with all the trophies and certificate of all sorts displayed. I stood and went reading on every titles and Joshua's name was everywhere in each trophy and certificate. Wow.
