Beyond desire

Beyond Desire - Four

Jolie's perspective

Mava..- you are just being super minimal with everything, you didn't tell me how dinner with the officials of your branch went,

I rolled my eyes back whilst scoffing my forkful of food,

Jolie..- I love my job but I'm over this industry

Mava scoffed,

Mava..- tell me about it

Jolie..- it's like I'm constantly being reminded by these white folks that I'm good enough but I needed to work harder

..

Jolie..- I've been told that growing up from my peers but I'll be damned to let a white man tell me

Mava..- oh I know that's right

Jolie..- and never wrong,

Flash back

I was about three martini's in and even that was not making this easy, Darryl had dragged me from the bar and took me to a discrete corner.

Darryl..- Carla White and Mark Lord want to speak to you, they're both executive directors in Hong Kong,

I pulled a frown.

Jolie..- do I have to speak to these people?

Darryl..- well duh

He put his arms out,

Darryl..- that is exactly why you're here! M. Jones, you did a great job with but she won't be the one hiring you,

Darryl..- Carla and Mark

He pointed over at the two,

Darryl..- are the two you really must impress.

I looked back at them once more and they looked middle aged, Cara was a tall white woman, she had pale skin that was air brushed and powdered, she looked almost model like, she had a blue red bold lip, wearing a white blouse and long line trousers with a pair SO KATE louboutin heels.

Alongside her was Mark who was just a typical scrawny white man, I could tell his suit was custom by the embroidery on his cuffs,

I was staring at them whilst Darryl was speaking into my ear,

..

Darryl..- speak highly and proudly of yourself

..

Darryl..- I repeat no conversations on fashion school and your plans outside of the firm.

..

Darryl..- sell yourself .. I don't speak highly of many, so make my words and my voice count.

He spun me around,

Darryl..- Go!

Fast forward
