All I've Ever Wanted

Chapter 2

It had been a couple days since the interview and she couldn't get him out of her head. She had gotten a call from her best friend Tara that she wanted to go out for dinner at a fancy restaurant. She made sure to dress up really nicely. After spending about an hour on her makeup. She quickly threw on an ankle length strapless black dress and some kitten heels after a couple sprays of perfume she heard someone knock the door. She opened the door to her very excited friend "HEY GIRL!!!", "OMG IT FEELS LIKE I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN AGES" she excitedly screamed out. Tara made her to Victoria's bedroom and threw herself on the bed to wait while Victoria finished getting ready.

"I should have brought my Don Julio to pregame" added while sighing. "You do realize that we're going to restaurant and not a club" Victoria said concerned but laughing at the same time. She added her final sprays of perfume and a touch of highlighter and left the door following Tara to her Mercedes-Benz that was a high school graduation gift from Tara's dad. She was youngest and only daughter so she got all the princess treatment from her dad since her whole family is Persian

They arrived at Daniel a luxurious French restaurant in the upper east side. "Hello I had a reservation for 8 pm under the name of Tara Azar" Tara said to the host. " I have your reservation here, right this way" the host guided them to their table for two right next to window with a view of the city

So, how's life how are the job interviews going" Tara asked wanting to catch up with her best friend. " they're ok but I went on one recently like 3 or 4 days ago and I went in just expecting a normal interview just to find out the lady in the front desk told me that oh by the way the FUCKING CEO is doing the interviews today, and knowing me I got nervous, and I was aggressively overthinking. And, basically what happened was he ended the interview super quickly and I think I fucked up and I'm probably not getting that job" she stated sadly. "Well you're still under 25, until then I wouldn't worry that much" Tara added, "Girl no I have to pay rent". The waiter came up and asked for their drink orders. Victoria ordered a espresso martini and Tara ordered a glass of white wine

They kept chatting until their food came. They kept talking about life,work and relationships while slowly eating, after a while Victoria started looking around just because she was bored and she recognized a person in the corner of her eye, she looked and it was Matteo. She sat there looking in shock, then his eye started wandering the room, tired of speaking with the old fat businessman in front of him, he locked eyes with Victoria and gave her a small smirk and looked away bringing his attention back the the old man discussing business deals. Victoria looked back at Tara with her eyes wide. "You won't believe what just happened" she said, "What, what happened" Tara said loudly, " Oh my god shut the fuck up, anyways so the CEO that interviewed me, he's here, like I swear to god he's across the room and he looked at me, ME!". " WAIT ACTUALLY, WHERE!" She whisper yelled as her eyes darted around the room trying to look for him. She found him across the room, " Ooo, he's cute good job Vicky" Tara added amused. " Can you stop staring, he's going to notice" she said worried and honestly embarrassed

They finished up their meals and the pair of women went to the bar in the restaurant to get some more drinks and Tara left Victoria alone because she saw a cute guy and wanted to shoot her shot. Victoria ordered another espresso martini and was sitting there quietly to see if Tara would go home with the guy or if she would be driven home. After a while the bartender approaches her with a napkin that seems to have some sort of writing on it. " The man that was sitting in that table earlier said to give this to you" he slides the napkin across to her and it had written

212-733-7574
You should also be expecting a surprise at you door
-Matteo Oliveira

Victoria sat there eyes wide as saucers but also excited and happy. " Thank you for giving me this" she thanked the man and he went on his way to make more drinks. Like if on cue Tara came back and sat down next to her with an annoyed and disappointed look on her face, " Ugh the guys was so boring" Victoria wasn't even listening still confused. "Vic are you just gonna sit there with your mouth open". " Tara do me a favor a read this" Victoria passed her the note, as Tara read it her eye got wide and a smile grew on her face. "NO FUCKING WAY, girl what could possibly be at your door". " I do not know, but can you just drive me home now, because I'm really fucking impatient". Victoria stood up and went out the front door of the restaurant and looked for the valet while Tara was chasing behind her trying to catch up with her in her heels.

After a ten minute drive Victoria said her quick goodbyes to Tara and went speed walking since she couldn't run in her heels. Her heart was beating out of her chest. After the elevator ride that felt like ages she raced to her door and saw nothing. She was confused and was h the inking of another place it could be, maybe he got the address wrong? All her information is in her resume, how?

She walked through her door disappointed and quite frankly sad. She walked through her short hallway to her kitchen and when she saw what was on her counter she was left speechless

A beautiful flower assortment meant of red roses countless boxes and vases of Venus et Fleur flowers and a Van Cleef & Arpels bag dead center with an envelope and note in front of the bag.

She snapped herself out of her trance and went to open the note that read

I wasn't sure what you would like so picked based off of what I thought you would like. If you don't like it you can text me and I'll buy you a different one princesa

-Matteo

The nickname he gave her made her blush but then realize how inappropriate this is, I mean he just met her.

She put her thoughts aside and reached for the gift bag in front of her she pulled out the green box and popped the lid open to reveal a beautiful gold necklace with the clover charm covered in tiny delicate diamonds. She stood still with her mouth slightly open shocked just thinking about how expensive this must have been then she realized there where two more boxes. The second box had a matching bracelet and the third one had the finishing piece of the set being two little clovers with diamond.

She was ashamed that he had spent that much money on her.

She almost forgot about the envelope. She realized it had Oliveira Corps written in tiny letters in the corner. Her heart dropped to her stomach and she started to nervously open the letter not even wanting to read it. She skimmed all the way through to the end and a mile grew and her face and she was ecstatic.

She had gotten the job.

In case if none of you speak Portuguese what he said means princess and if you speak Spanish you probably knew immediately. Also side note I'm planning to write dialogue only in Portuguese so I will probably but the translation in the comments next to the paragraph or if you prefer it another way be free to write in the comments🫶
