STONED

Chapter Eight

Audrey was happy that all of a sudden the owner of one of the greatest companies in the corporate world Raymond Stone had just ring her up and before she could thank him, he not only scheduled her interview but also wished her to have a nice day. this day couldn't get better. 

Chris came home from work and she just couldn't wait to tell him the good news "you know what happened today! i got a job interview" she narrated him the whole story, he hugged and motivated her "i knew you could do it all that experience that you have gained over these years nothing goes to waste. i am so very proud of you cause i know that you are going to ace the interview."  no matter how much she tried to act cool about, she was wrecked inside. her nerves were acting up just like her wedding day. the days were going fast and she had to prepare herself for the interview mentally because there was no doubt she was very nervous. 

the night before the due date, she couldn't sleep , eat or relax for even a minute. she was just caught pretty badly, she was messed up and kept thinking about various things that could go wrong during her interview. but thank god! she had Chris to her side, to rescue her from her wrecking nerves. he said to her "okay now calm down. listen to me stop over thinking it and i know it is hard for you as you get tensed really easily. it's not like the exams you gave in collage but just have trust in yourself and be confident. i am telling you with these two things everything will be alright tomorrow. come on you are way stronger than this. i know you can do it and besides that you know how much you want it. so just go ahead and grab it. " this much wasn't enough for her but hearing it from Chris's mouth made it worth a million. 

the next morning. she was dressed in her formal what she liked to call her "the office outfit" and looked awesome in it. her hands were shivering as she waited outside the cabin, she was cold and hot at the same time as she was the only person there. it didn't look as if the boss was interviewing many people for this prestigious post. finally, she was called in. at that time all she hoped was to answer properly to the interviewer, she hoped she won't stammer. she went in and wished him. 

he politely asked her to settle down and then began by asking a few questions. she answered them well. in the end he said "great then Mister Stanley was right you are what i am looking in my company. congratulations the position is yours. you can begin from tomorrow. is there something you would like to ask me?"

she was little hesitant but then she said "hypothetically speaking this company is one of the most famous companies in the whole United States so why would anyone want to leave a job here?"

he said "listen Miss Audrey i am a very busy man and i have a lot of responsibilities on my head. i am constantly working. there are over thousand employees working under me so i believe that the many mouths, the more the gossip. i would like to trust me and disgust anything else you hear about me from anyone else. i know its new to you but you will understand it for now welcome to the company. "

was it just a pretens or people just mindlessly spoke rubbish about him?
