Dark Nights ✔️

Chapter Seven

I was so happy about the opportunity I was able to get all thanks to Alex.
I wanted to look exceptionally good and decent so as to impress whoever owns the company. I woke up so early so I could look my best which I did. I set my alarm for 6am and this began to shower and iron my shirt and trousers. I wanted to do my best not to look sexy but pretty.

*Ring*

"Hello" I said hurriedly without even checking the caller.

"Hi. Is this Miss Badmus?" The caller asked as I removed the phone from my ear to check the caller but saw that it wasn't in my contact list

"Y-yes. Who's this?" I said as I put the phone on speaker while I continued dressing.

"This is the accountant of Mr Cole. The company you got an interview with today. Your interview has been set for 9:30am today. So please be here on time." The person said and yes it was really relieving.

"Thank you so much." I said happily as I hung up and relaxed. I started chatting with my friends on WhatsApp and Facebook.

I left the house around 8:30 and made my way to the island. Hopefully this would be the beginning of a good life for me.

I got to the island at exactly 9am sharp and go to the place at about 9:15am. It was a wonderful place almost eight storey's high. It was glass made which I must admit is genius.

I got in and met the receptionist who directed me to where I would seat down to wait for me turn. It wasn't long that it got to my turn so I got into the elevator to head for my turn. It was on the fifth floor.

I met another man in the elevator probably going for his own interview too.

"Are you nervous? " I asked as I chuckled a bit.

"What? Are you talking to me? " He asked in a rude way.

"Uh there's no one else in here. Is there? " I asked rhetorically as he laughed in a devilish way and hissed at me.

"Look whoever you are, don't talk to me. It might get you fired."

Wow he was really a jerk. Talking like he was the owner the company..

"Oh I'm so scared. You're a jerk. Was trying to be nice. Ode" I said the last word under my breath so he wouldn't hear me well but he did.

"What did you just call me? I may not understand Yoruba very well but I know that means something very insultive. " He was probably all this spoilt Yankee kids that there parents already secured a job for them. Such rubbish.

"Look just leave me. Weirdo. " I said as the elevator made a ding sound for the fifth floor and I hurriedly got out.

"You! I'll se--" He couldn't finish as the elevator door closed. That was so funny. I don't get why he didn't alight also at fifth floor that's where all the interview takes place.. Oh well hope they fire him.

I got to the office and knocked and entered after I was told to.

"Good morning Sir. " I said as I was ushered to seat which I did.

"You were recommended by a very influential person in this company. You're lucky. Well I've looked at your C.V and it's good.. So you're going to be working as the personal assistant for the Director of the company. "

"Sir is the Director the owner of the company? " I asked because what I was told was that I'll work for the Chairman who was the owner.

"He already has one. You'll be working as the assistant for his son. You start work immediately. Go and meet the accountant after working hours for your salary discussion and other benefits. Head up to the seventh floor. The Director office is there. "

"Okay thank you. " I said happily as I got up and excused myself. I was so happy. I got into the elevator and pressed the number 7 button on it.

I got up in no time and looked around a bit confused didn't know where his office could be. I saw someone hurrying off and decided to stop him but he didn't stop to answer me as he was literally running.. What could have made him run like that.. I walked to the direction he came from.

I saw the office finally with the name boldly written 'Director's office '. I got closer and saw the guy from the elevator getting in.

"Hey! What are you doing there? The interview office is on the fifth floor. " I yelled as I walked closer with pride on my face. I was already employed and he wasn't.

"Ah you again. " He said with a frantic expression on his face and he laughed a bit.

"I'm employed so I have a place in this company.. You better go for your interview before the security come to throw you out for snooping around. " I said laughing a bit at the thought of that until the man I met running earlier came back with a bunch of folders in his hands.

"Sir I've gotten all the documents from last year.. Should I take them into your office?"

I looked around but did not know who he was referring to..

"Yes. " The jerk guy said proudly as the man bowed and took them Inside the 'Director's office '.

"Oh shit! " I exclaimed..

"Good Morning Miss Badmus. Nice to meet you.. Again. I'm Jeremy Brown. The Director of this company.. "

"Oops. " was all I could let out.
