Smooches and Serenity

11

It was a bright Tuesday morning and Jax and I prepared to go to work. Initially,I was the only one going to work while Jax had an interview with Camilla.

I looked at my outfit that consisted of a matching blue chiffon blouse with its shorts and some white Jordans. Satisfied with my outfit, I dragged Jax out of the house since he had been procrastinating and taking too long to get prepared.

Apparently, he had wanted to wear a suit in order to give my boss a good impression. I had told him that there was no need for such formality and wearing something simple was the best idea since no one was very formal in the firm.

He had allowed me to drag his butt out of the house, and I drove us to work, obviously making a quick stop in my favourite Java café.

I led Jax inside the firm and to Camilla's office then headed to my work station. Megan and Stacy came to my station and by the looks on their faces, I just knew they wouldn't leave me alone.

"Girl, who's delivering this handsome men to you? Cause I want some." Stacy asked.

Between the two of them, Stacey was the most outspoken one.

"That's my cousin, Jax. He's here for an interview."

"Really? He'll be working here?" She asked excitedly.

"I don't know about that. I mean, he has to pass the interview and get accepted first, right?"

"Right. What department will he be joining if he gets accepted?"

"Architecture. He's an architect."

"That's cool. Can't wait to have another new face with us."

I sauntered off to Lennox's desk, so as to avoid any more questions.

"Hi," I greeted.

He smiled softly at me then answered. "Hello, Rene. What's up?"

"Did you decide when we'd be starting the project?"

"Next week. We have to make sure that all the things that need purchasing are available first then we can proceed with the renovations. Megan will also find other ways to style the decors while Luke and Knox will mostly deal with the renovation part since since that's what they are good at."

"I love the plan. The project might not even take that long to accomplish."

"Yeah. Can I ask you something?" He asked curiously.

"Yeah."

"Are you dating with Mark? Marcus? Some name close to that, I guess." He rubbed the back of his neck, nervously.

I let out a chuckle, amused by his pathetic guesses. "It's Maverick, and no. Atleast not yet."

"Oh...okay."

"Why?"

"Nothing."

Okayyyy...that was weird.

"Well, I'll be at my desk then."

"You do that. You can go over the floor plans and maybe check out for any changes that might be needed."

"Will do."

For the past forty minutes, I spent my time browsing over DIY clips on making flowers and frames. After that, watched some reality shows on interior design. Apart from being a lover of animations and movies, reality shows were also my thing.

I looked at my wrist watch and wondered what Jax and Camilla were talking about. An hour had almost passed and there was no sign of him coming from that office. Even my first interview hadn't taken that long.
