Hired Wife

You Again!

"Thank you sir", Praise said after paying the driver and getting off the cab. "Good luck ma'am,here is my card in case u need my service again", the driver said handing over his business card to her. "Alright sir, pray I get this job so I'll be needing your ride each day". "Of course u will", he stated firmly with a smile on his face. "Bye sir", she waved at him and crossed over to the left side of the road.

Praise walked for 5minutes and came upon a very big 5storey building designed with black tainted glass with Corbett's Conglomerate written boldy in a casted form on it with golden color. Praise sighed and proceeded to walking inside.
The massive company was exquisite. It's interior decor to the technology followed by the composure of the workers got Praise melting. Praise located the receptionist and went over to her place.

"Hi, please good morning", she greeted
"Oh hey, good morning pretty. How may I help u?"
"Yeah I'm coming for the job interview for the designers"
"Ok you are almost late but take this card and used the silver elevator over there to the fourth floor, that's where the interview is gonna take place. But, remember to return my card. It's for executive members only ok?"
"Sure...Miss Grace", she said reading the name on her broach.
"Right I guess u read from my broach,so what's your name?"
"Praise Mariscal"
"Such a lovely name,alright u have to get going before u are late for the interview"
"Thanks Grace, I owe u big time. Bye",Praise thanked her and headed for the elevator.

She used the card to open the door of the elevator and got inside. Just when she was about to close the door a tall fair, slightly pale looking gentleman got in before she closed the door.
"Thank you", the man said.
"You are welcome", Praise smiled.
The man stared at her blankly, admiring her outstanding beauty although she had dressed simply formal. To put it, a white long sleeve shirt with a black shirt skirt reaching just on top of her knee with a slight line behind it.
"You look like a newbie", the man said

"No sir, soon to be after my interview goes well"
"Oh you're part of those coming for the interview?"
"Yes please". "I see you have great courage. You look smart"
"Thank you sir"
"I'm Caleb Pratt and I work here",he said extending his hands for greetings
"I am Praise Mariscal, incoming newbie", she chuckled after shaking hands with him.
"Nice meeting u praise and good luck", Caleb said.
"Thanks Mr. Pratt"
"Now I'd forgive u for this but call me Caleb, just Caleb without sir or Mr. Ok?"
"Sure sir... Sorry Caleb" and they burst out laughing.

The elevator got to a stop and they had to go out. Caleb smiled and winked at Praise while she returned it.
Caleb walked towards the conference room as it was indicated on the mouth of the room. Praise got discouraged after taking her seat and wearing her registered number. All because those around her were classically dressed as if coming for dinner and not an interview but, she remembers clearly that it was stated to put on anything formal.

After calming herself down she waited patiently for the interview to start. "Attention everyone", a lady in pink dress came out from the conference room to address them. After receiving everyone attention she proceeded to addressing them. "Sorry for the inconvenience but the boss has an emergency to attend which would delay the interview for an hour so please wait patiently for him. While waiting u can grab a cup of coffee and make yourselves comfortable", she ended her statement with a smile which got everyone giggling.
Praise hurriedly caught up with the lady who made the announcement before she entered the conference room. "Miss please will the boss himself be present for the interview?", Praise asked.
"Yes", she answered with a broad smile on her face.
"O...k", she sighed.
"Just don't worry and focus on yourself while waiting for him ok".
"Thanks miss"
" Call me Beverly"
"Thank you Beverly", she said and went back to her seat.
Praise decided to get herself a cup of coffee to calm her nerves down. She asked the lady who sat close to her of which she had already made friends with where to get the coffee case she had already gotten one for herself. She walked casually to the coffee making machine and fetched some for herself and her friend Lois.

Kelvin was done with his meeting with the board of directors and had taken his private elevator to the forth floor which was closer to the coffee making machine. Praise press the tap to turn the machine off and quickly turned staring at the coffee she had made but suddenly bumped into someone with a broad and comforting chest. She let go off the coffee and it feel to the ground spilling on their clothes.

"I'm so sorry sir but can you watch where you're going!", she stated with her head bent down and freeing herself from his grab. Kev recognised her voice and figure.
"It's you again?", he husked
"Sorry, but
. have we met before?". Praise raised her head to look at him but she couldn't recognise him since he had taken off his glasses which made him look charming more than ever.

Huh!she can't recognise me, he scoffed as Bob, his security guard led him to a different room to change. Bob returned and gave her a silky with dress to wear on top of her skirt cause it was intact as compared to the creamy brown dress she wore now thanks to I don't know what to say whether he is her god or her devil
