Amanda's POV
I'm now standing in front of black——industry,with an ill feeling in my tummy,still not fully sure whether or not to enter
After I went to sleep yesterday,I received a few more convincing texts from the company giving me reasons to attend their interview
I walked into the building and went straight to the reception area
"Uhm how may I help you?"the receptionist asked in a professional tone
"Hi,I'm actually here for the interview for the post of a receptionist"I replied
Even though I have no experience with working as a receptionist,I'm still going to give it a try,besides they were the once texting me telling me to come sooo....
"Oh yes,here is a tablet,just press the button center button the map will automatically appear leading you exactly to the office,you would also see a few other ladies outside the office as well"the receptionist replied handing me a tablet
"Thanks"I turned on the tab and started following the directions which like she said lead me straight to the office
There were three ladies seated there so I had to wait for about twenty to thirty minutes before it was finally my turn
I knocked two times before I heard a slight come in then I entered
I walked into the office,a lady looking in her late thirties was seated there,to be honest I kinda expected a handsome guy about my age
Don't judge me,I read a lot of romance novels and I know how they work
I took a seat and passed her my resume hoping she wouldn't just look at my name and tell me I didn't get the job
"So your name is Amanda black,am I right?"
"Yes" I gulped,she then typed something on the computer then she looked up
"Ah yes mr Blake has been waiting for you"what waiting for me,but why
"Uhm,excuse me I'm a little confused"I stated
"Just follow me,you have nothing to worry miss"she said standing up and directing me were ever she was taking me
She then brought out her phone and told someone the interview was canceled
Okay things are definitely getting weird,I should probably run what if all this was fake and this people aren't even real,yes I over think things when I'm scared—
"Madam we're here,you may enter"
"Uhm okay thanks I guess"I entered the office and believe me when I say it's huge,almost as big as my dad's office,it was painted in gray,black and white,all the furnitures were also those three colors,the owner is probably sad and miserable inside
"If you are done gawking please inform me,I don't have all day"said a deep male voice bringing me out of my thoughts,I couldn't help but notice that his voice sounded oddly familiar
"I was not gawking,I've seen better"I defended
The man then stood up strode towards until he was approximately three feet away from me he then looked me directly in the eye making me recognize him instantly
It was him,the arrogant guy I slapped the other day,what was he doing her
"He works here dumb dumb"my self conscience reapplied to my stupid question
"So,are you thinking of what angle to slap me from or are you checking me out"he asked with a smirk
"What do you want"I said sounding annoying
"Oh,my dear I simply want to help you, considering the fact that you can't find a job anywhere else,and I may or may not be the reason behind that"
OMG,I know there was a reason I wasn't getting a job anywhere,he looks like a powerful man,he probably told them not too
"Task task task,mister powerful couldn't like with the fact that he was slapped by a lady he decided to go through all this stress just to watch her crumble"I let out a light chuckle
I decided to play along completely masking my emotions preventing him from seeing how angry and upset I was
"Oh,don't flatter yourself,I wanted to buy that stupid cafe anyway and besides it was quite easy getting you here"he replied
"So,you have succeeded what next,what me slowly die of joblessness and poverty"
"Oh,but then where is the fun in that,I'm going to give you a job here as a janitor,you will work for me and your salary will be low,now that will be fun"he smirked
I was burning with rage but I didn't let it show,I was not going to give him the satisfaction he was looking for
"I will rather die than to work or a cockalorum,Pillock person like your self,now if you would excuse me I too have better things to do"I shouted walking out of his ugly office making sure to bang the door behind me
He better keep dreaming if he thinks I would work for him
I decided to call Aysha because I might just do something stupid I don't talk to someone,after about five rings she finally picked up
"Thank God Ays—"
"Sorry Amanda I can't talk right now I'm kinda busy I'll call you later okay,bye" and she just cut the line
That how it has been with me and her,ever since I moved out she has been acting very oddly,and it wasn't just her all my other friends have been like that as well,I kinda feel like I don't exist to them anymore
Just then I remembered my friend Maryam,maybe I could invite her over to talk about thing,I mean she is the only friend I have now
I called Maryam and after about two rings she finally picked up
"Hey,Maryam it's Amanda the girl you met at the restaurant"
"Oh hey Amanda,I know it's you I saved your number"she replied
"Oh right,I was just wandering are you busy right now?"I asked hoping she would say no
"No I'm not what is it?"
"Oh I just thought maybe you could come over and we could hang out"
"Sure why not,but first let me ask my mum"I was kinda surprised by what she said,I never really ask my parents before going out I usually just go and maybe text them later
"Amanda are you still there my mum said yes text me your address"
"Kk I will,I'll be waiting"I texted her my address and went home to prepare for her visit
