TES #3 My Refound Girl

12. Job

Priscilla Campbell

It'll be a complete lie if I told you I'm not shaking. I am the first one in the line of interview and now that Mr. Mathur is not here to take my interview, I'm already starting to feel the nervousness.

I stood up taking my card that Mr. Mathur gave me earlier.

"Who is number 226789?" The receptionist asked and I looked down at my card to find the same number. I stood up and walked to her.

"Ma'am, you're card please?" She asked. I gave her the card and she quickly scanned it and returned to me.

"Please wait in the 5th floor. You'll get the instructions soon" she pointed at the life and I nodded. This time we don't need any certificates or anything, so I'm not sure what will this round be. I walked in the elevator and pressed the fifth floor and the life soon reached with a ding sound. I walked out.

There was a huge hallway and I had no idea where it lead to. I walked down the path and there were so many cabins at the end. Not knowing where to go, I pushed open the cabin door to my left.

My eyes widened as I saw a man sitting on the couch, looking through a file. As soon as he heard th sound, he looked up to see me.

He looked stunned in seeing me. His eyes twinkled and shone so bright. He was wearing a white shirt and a black classic pants. His tie was loosened around his neck and his coat was lying on the desk near him.

His slightly brown face tone, his clean shaved jaw line made him look like a Greek god. His shirt sleeves were rolled up giving a view of his tonnes muscles. My throat went dry when he shifted lightly, making his chest visible little bit as his top two buttons were open. Damn!

"Yes?" His voice was bold, confident and so damn manly!

"I'm..I'm here for the interview" I stammered.

"Come in"

I walked inside and closed the door behind me.

He stood up from the couch and walked to the desk. Leaning over on the table, he took out his intercom and kept it between his ears and his shoulders. He opened the file he was holding earlier and I swear my eyes widened seeing his biceps grow. I turned away not wanting to make a fun out of myself.

"In my office now" he hung up and kept his file down.

"What's your name?"

I looked up to see him. His midnight black eyes were looking at me and I was quiet intimidated by it.

"It's Priscilla" I answered.

"Priscilla ...?"

"Priscilla Campbell" I said and he immediately stood straight. It was like he was shocked to hear what I said. His eyes had the look of confusion and his eye brows narrowing added up to it. He walked close to me and my breath was starting to get uneasy.

"Come again?" He asked.

"I'm Priscilla Campbell sir"

He stood right in front of me and there was hardly one feet distance between us.

"I'm Rick Calland"

He extended his hand and I was shocked. Is he the one who's going to take my interview? Oh shit!

"Priscilla?" His words brought me back to reality and I saw him still holding up his hand. I extended my hand too.

"Nice to meet you Priscilla"

Butterflies started dancing in my stomach the moment his hand touched mine. What the heck!

"Nice to meet you too sir"

I don't know why my cheek started to flush and I bet the pink tint was visible. I hope he won't notice it. I quickly withdrew my hand and looked down.

There was a knock in the door and it the receptionist from earlier.

"Yes sir?"

"Gina, I want the short listed candidates names in the next 2 minutes" he ordered and she nodded. She left right away and he went back to sit on his chair. Putting on his coat, he gestured me to sit on the chair opposite to his.

I sat down, rubbing my hands over the jeans of my thighs. I prep talked myself to be confident.

"Tell me about yourself Ms. Campbell"

No Priscilla?

"I'm from New York sir, I recently shifted here cause I wanted a fresh start. I have the experience of working as a manager in a resort and I'm sure I can do this job too" he nodded at my answer with a small smile. If I didn't notice it, I would have skipped it.

"Are you married?" My eyes widened at his question.

"Sir?"

"This is a really time consuming job and whenever we call you, you need to be here. So we prefer people who are available all the time" he explained and I understood clearly.

"I'm available at any time you call me sir" he nodded.

He later started explaining about the construction going on. I was surprised to hear that the actual construction was a base but to the outside world they covered it up as a production studio for shooting the ads to promote their products.

"Is it something illegal?" I asked in a very low voice. He chuckled before shaking his head.

"It's legal and we have the government approval. We had to come up with a cover up cause there are many people who want to know the base and that will be dangerous"

That makes sense.

He later showed me the design of the construction and everything related to that. Apparently the previous supervisor was bribed by someone and on the fear od getting caught, he ran away. He was found and now he's behind the bars and even the one who bribed him is paying off.

"You better stay loyal, unless you want your living to be crushed by us Priscilla" he said in a cold tone and I nodded in fear.

"I promise to remain faithful sir"

He dismissed me saying that I'll receive an email if I get selected. I thanked him and walked out of the building.

I hope I get this job please!
