DESTINED

CHAPTER 4

Kyle's pov
To say I'm tired today is an understatement,I didn't get a chance to attend the interview today,I was held up in a meeting but my guys still did it. I asked Amanda to send me all the interviewees details I go through them while at home .Amanda told me she liked and had spotted a lady,one of the interviewees ,and that she had liked her confidence and how she boldly answered the questions.
I was going to check her profile, background and everything about her.
At the gate, Brian ,my gateman opens the gate for me and I drive all the way to the drive way and park my car,fish out the keys,carry my laptop bag and head to the house. I'm welcomed by Maria ,my nanny,I've known her all my life , lemme just say she was like a mother to me and when I moved out of my parent's house,I insisted I go with her,I respect her a lot ,though I still have house helps but I trust Maria I made her the house manager.
"Welcome home Mr Parker",maria says.
" Cut that nanny,you know I don't like you calling me that",I say back to her.
She just smiles back at me.
"

I'll just head for the shower,I'll be back in a few minutes,I hope supper is ready I'm famished",I say to her as I head upstairs to my room.
Once I'm done,I go downstairs take my supper as I watch the evening news,right on time Maria walks in to collect the dishes.
"No just leave them I'll do the dishes you go and rest",I say to her.
"Thank you ,I was really tired,have a goodnight son", she says
"Goodnight nanny", I say back to her
Once I'm done with the dishes,I grab my laptop and head to my room.
I change into my pyjamas and connect my laptop. I was planning on checking on the interviewees' profile and their academic credentials.
Funny thing is that after the shower I'm feeling somehow relieved and not tired anymore so it's time I do this once and for all.
As I'm going through the profiles, something catches my eye and I decide to check it out.
"Nicole Alison, graduate from the University of Nairobi,there is her phone number and I decide to snoop into her Facebook account to check out if my eyes are lying to me.
There she is,the girl I met earlier today ,not just met but the girl who talked back at me rudely after lowering my ego and apologizing. Jeez ,that girl has the guts,wait so she was heading for the interview ,I now connected the dots.
There's this weird and stupid feelings I've been experiencing since morning when I bumped into her,she just got my attention and I don't like that feeling,I hope I'm not getting attracted to her. I mean after Chloe I swore never to fall in love,maybe love is a big word to describe everything I've started to feel about her,maybe it's just a mere crush I try to comfort myself
After a few more hours of going through the profiles,I decide to call it a day and I go straight to bed.
Why do I feel like I should just hire her and see her every time I'm at work,I mean that girl's beauty is something else,you can't just compare it to any girl out there not even Natalie.
Natalie is my fuck mate I know that sounds weird but that's what I chose it's better to have friends with benefits thing than committing to someone who'll after all cheat on you.
I'm not in love with this strange girl,it can't be,maybe lust,I say to myself. As I drift off to sleep there's only one resolution I've made ,in hiring that girl in my company no matter what.

The following day I wake up at my usual time,do my exercise,take my shower by seven I'm already done with the shower. I pick my briefcase and go downstairs to take my breakfast,I find it ready on the dinning table I take it silently after I'm done I call one of my house helps to clean the table
" Hellen,thanks for the breakfast but I won't be around for dinner in the evening , I have a dinner meeting at my parents so don't expect me", I say to her
"Okay sir,have a great day", Hellen says
With that, I head out and drive straight to work.
By 7:30 I'm already at my office. I have a hard time multi tasking everything since my PA went for her maternity leave. I call Amanda to give her a list of instructions. Amanda has been working in this company for a while now ,I guess while I was still in my senior year in high school ,she's one of my dad's trusted employees and so I trust her.
"Good morning Amanda ?I ask her.
"Good morning too Mr Parker,how's the going?", Amanda says.
"Pretty good, actually was calling to inform you about the yesterday's interview you held with Mr Henry and Ronald", I say
"Ooh yeah I almost forgot,we were supposed to recruit them today,you have an idea?",she asks
"Ooh yeah,I found someone who can take the HR manager position,the lady you were suggesting yesterday,what's her name again?",I ask her just to pretend I've not been stalking her the previous night.
"She's Miss Nicole Alison, Mr Parker,"Amanda answers.
"Alright yeah,I want you to call her and tell her she's hired,she should report to work by Wednesday morning,I guess that's all I wanted to say.
"Okay right away Mr Parker",she says.
I hang up and place the phone back on the mahogany desk.
I've a lot to catch up before my mum calls to remind me about the family dinner tonight,I also have a business meeting with some business tycoon whose home is in Mombasa but his business is situated in Nairobi,though later in the day.
