1. My best friend.
Eileen's POV.
"You are late" dad says as soon as we made our way into the office.
"We are sorry dad someone forgot some certain things at home" I say looking at Claudia.
"Yeah someone" she says with a smug smile.
"Let's go on to the interview" dad says walking into the board room connected to his office.
The interview went on for about two hours and I was already sore. Dad was still not satisfied with any of the assistants and my back was already killing the hell out of me.
"Why don't we take a break and come back later" I whisper to dad and he nods. Claudia squeals happily as we gather to leave. "Thirty minutes" Dad shouted after us.
"Thirty minutes?" Claudia asks in disbelief.
"Yeah you know the way dad is" I reply taking out my phone. "I'm going go call Jacob" I said and she nodded going straight for an energy bar or chocolate from the machine.
I unlock my phone to see six call from Jacob. I roll my eyes and to think that he was always thinking about me. Jacob Gates was my best friend since I was two. His mom Liliana and my mom were college friends who met after marriage and so we turned out to be best of friends. I smile and dial his number.
"You are coming for the dinner right?" he asked and I nodded before realising my foolishness and laughing at myself. "You nodded right?" he asked. This guy knows me too much.
"Mom makes me come everytime and you keep pulling this stunt of calling me" I say replying him with the most sarcastic comment I can find.
He huffs and I remember why I called him. "Jacob can you please make out time I need to talk at dinner" I say.
"Eli of course anything for my dark evil best friend" he says making me roll my eyes. He knows how much I hate been called 'Eli'.
"Don't call me that" I say almost in a shout. He laughs over the phone. "And I'm not evil and dark I just don't believe in colour" I say and his chuckles die down.
"Of course Eli" he says stressing out the last part so I can know that he wants me annoyed.
"See you at dinner Jacob" I say.
"Are you hanging up?" he asks like a little child trying to ask if Santa Claus is real.
"Yeah I need to go plan how to murder you" I say humorlessly. He throws another fits of laughter and I can't help but laugh lightly.
"You love me too much to do that but I will let you take your time planing my murder" he said.
"Bye Jacob"
"Bye Eli" he said laughing lightly. I shook my head at him and made my way to my office.
As soon as my assistant saw me she stood up and followed me obviously to give me reports on what I had missed while doing this great ultimate search for dad's assistant. This man has never retained an assistant for more than six months.
I don't mean he has temper tantrum. His assistant holds most of the information in the company so he says he changes assistants and then change information so nobody can steal from him or sly him.
"You had a call from Delcan and your mom" my assistant Joana says
"Okay thanks" I say taking my sit and opening the my computer. I see some emails and I make a mental note to reply them.
"Thirty minutes are over and the old man needs us back" Claudia says popping her head into my office.
"Already?" I ask groaning. I don't hate work I just hate dad's interviews.
"Yeah that man is a workaholic" she said making a tired expression cross her face.
"Let's go" I said standing up before making our way out of the office to the board room where we used.
"Welcome back guys we have Three more people to go" Dad said and I heard Claudia's sigh of relieve she heard mine too cause she looked at me.
"Finally we are done and he picked one" Claudia said as we made our way out of the building.
"Yay" I say faking the attitude. Dad had said that we should go home immediately after saying we must be tired and also so that we can go prepare for his wife's dinner.
We enter the buggati and make our way home. We stop while going to pick up some items at heels and hills. Claudia got some plumps and I saw a new jacket I like and it was black so I loved it the more.
Okay I have an unhealthy obsession for window shopping and Claudia supports me fully.
We get home and we have about three hours to dinner. "I will make something to eat" I say moving to the kitchen.
"No you won't" Claudia says pulling my hands.
"Why?" I question her because I can't believe she won't let me eat. I am not like her.
"Because we have three hours and there will be food at moms dinner there is always food there" she says as if I don't know that.
"I know but I can't wait three more hours and we must talk before dinner that is plus one more hour" I say and she nods.
"I will get you an energy bar" she says pulling me upstairs. "We need to get on with our make up and dress"
"Why? It's just the Gates nobody new" I say trying to run downstairs to make myself even though it'd noodles.
"We go through this everytime Eileen you don't need someone to look beautiful for. You are a woman and you should be beautiful always not that dark makeup you always do" she says and I roll my eyes she is such a drama queen.
"Okay" I say dryly because she won't allow me be.
Soon we were done and we both looked at ourselves in the mirror and contrary to this morning I totally hate my look.
My makeup is a little too much but Claudia says it's normal. I am in a fuical pink dress that stops just right on my knees. It is sleeveless and I hate this type of dress so I have a small shawl to cover up and it is black because all other shawl just don't fit. I smile at the only black item on me. My silleto is the same size I wore in the morning left to me I will be on flats.
"We will be late" she says as she pulls me out of the room downstairs.
Claudia's look is a lot like Claudia. Her cheznut hair is flowing down and her dress is strapless. It's blue and her heels are so tall she towers over me but I don't care a bit. I'm comfortable.
"We take the Benz and I'm driving" she says picking the car keys. With her crazy driving we are at the house on half the time I will reach there.
Who doesn't love Eileen; I know I do and Claudia is a lot like someone I know..
How is it so far? Comment let me know what you think?
