Night Changes |Z.M. (Book One)

Searching

   College was not going to be easy for me. The classes I'm taking are hard as hell and not to mention my tuition is so fucking expensive. Which means I have to get a job that pays a decent amount of money and has flexible hours. Good fucking luck.
  I walked into a little hole in the wall cafe and ordered a cappuccino. I thanked the cashier and sat down at a table near the window. As I sat my drink down, my phone began to ring. I pulled it out of my pocket and looked at the caller ID, which read; Vanessa
(V; Vanessa    M;Maya)

  M: Hello?
  V: Hey Maya, I found a job for you.
  M: Really? That's great, where at?
  V: You know Malik Inc. they're looking for assistants to help out around the office. It makes decent money and they only call you when you're available!
  M:Sounds perfect, when are the interviews?
  V: In like three hours.
  M: Holy shit I need to get ready!
  V: I hope you nail it! Let me know how it goes.
  M: I will, bye V.
  V: Bye M.

  I hung up the phone and rushed out the door. I got in my car and drove to my flat. When I arrived I quickly jumped in the shower, checking the clock as I got out.
  "Okay, I have two hours to get ready and get there." I said to myself.
  I pulled my hair into a perfect bun and pulled down a few strands of hair so that I didn't look too uptight. I did light makeup and walked over to my closet, searching for an outfit. I decided to go with a tight black dress that stopped at the knees and some black heels. I wore gold earrings and a matching necklace.
  I looked at the clock and realized that I had an hour to get down to Malik Inc. on time.
  I grabbed my phone and my keys, and walked out of the door. I sped to Malik Inc. and made it there 10 minutes early.
  "Thank God." I whispered to myself, walking into the massive building.
  I walked up to the receptionist and smiled politely.
  "Hi, I'm here for the interview." I said, tapping my fingers on her desk.
  "What's your name?" She asked.
  "Maya Owens." I said, looking around. She types it into her computer and looks at me.
  "Mr.Malik will interview you in a minute, you can take a seat over there." She smiled, pointing to a row of chairs.
  I took a seat next to a girl who was quite pretty.  She had long blonde hair that fell to her chest and emerald green eyes. She was wearing a red dress with a plunging neckline and white heels. She had on heavy makeup which kind of took your mind off of everything else.
  "Hi, I'm Lila. What's your name?" She asked, holding out her hand for me to shake.
  "My name's Maya." I replied, shaking her hand.
  "So are you here for Mr.Malik?" She smirked.
  "I'm here to be interviewed by him I guess." I stated.
  "No honey, I mean are you here to have an office romance with him?" She giggled.
  "No.." I said awkwardly.
  "You'd be the only one her that isn't." She said, crossing her legs.
I nodded my head slowly and just decided to keep to myself.
  The girl beside me pushed her boobs up as Mr.Malik walked into the room.
  He rolled his eyes and looked at me.
"You, come with me." He said, pointing to me.
I stood up and followed him into a room.
  "Have a seat." He said, closing the door.
  "So, Maya, is it?" He asked.
  "Yes sir." I replied, taking a seat.
   "Well Maya, why do you want this job?" He asked, sitting in front of me.
  "Honestly, I need the money to help pay for my tuition." I said, fiddling with my necklace.
  "That's all?" He sounded surprised.
  I nodded my head and he smiled. I had to admit this man was incredibly handsome.
  "You're hired." He said.
  "Really, thank you so much sir!" I exclaimed.
  He opened the door and put his hand on my lower back as I walked out.
  "See you tomorrow at 6:00 AM sharp. I like my coffee black." He said, walking me to the receptionist's desk.
  "Ella, Maya is the new assistant. Tell the others to go home." He stated, walking to the large elevator.
  I smiled as I left the building, excited that I had gotten the job. I texted Vanessa about the interview and how I got the job, she said she was happy for me. When I arrived at my flat, I set my alarm for 4:30 AM and decided to take a shower and go to bed.
