Chapter 2

I search for the elevator because the office room for applying is on the third floor.

It was quiet. The place is very wide. It contains rooms on every side and it's isolated based on my observation. It's also cold here! Geez.

I continue to walk as I saw the blueprint on the wall and turned right when I knew that the elevator was located there.

I get my phone in the pocket of my skirt and see what time it is already. It's already almost 1 pm in the afternoon and I haven't eaten anything yet. I felt hungry at this moment.

I looked at myself in my mirror and I saw that I am really sweating. I looked tired. I think I need to retouch in the bathroom. But before that, I need to go to the office first.

I sighed when I saw the elevator. I clicked the button beside to open it. I went inside and there are no other people inside with me.

I saw the floors at the side and I clicked the floor where am I going. Without any moment, it opened and I went outside.

The feeling here is even more electrifying. It seems the air became ice and thought I was in a freezer. I forced my lips to smile when I saw a girl walking. She's wearing her uniform so I can say that she's working here. Obviously.

She didn't respond to my smile and passed away. Maybe, people here aren't approachable at all. I did not go here for friends so it's not a problem for me, anyway.

I looked at the blueprint attached to the wall. The office room is near. Oh, there it is!

I saw "Office Room" at the top of the door where I am standing. I nervously knocked on the door. After a second there's a lady who went outside.

She must be in her forties and already married based on her looks. She looks strict too. "Good afternoon, ma'am." I bowed my head and politely greeted her.

She arched her eyebrow. "Why are you here?" She asked. Her voice was firm and straight. I was caught off guard and forgot what was going to say.

"I said, why are you here? You're wasting my time, lady. If you're finding a job, I'm sorry, we don't have any available right now and we're not searching for clients any time soon." She said without even stopping.

My lips parted a bit. "I am finding a job, ma'am. This is my papers. Anything! I'll do anything. Just please, let me have a job. Please, this is the only last chance I have." I am nervous but still manage my rebuttal. I badly need to have this. I can't go home without any work. No. Not like this.

Her lips moved and she eyed me from head to toe. "Janitress. The only available job here is janitress. Is that fine for you?" She asked.

I fastly nodded without thinking about what's going to happen next. The important here is I'll have a job and will earn money anytime soon.

"Okay. You'll start---" she was forced to stop ng when someone interrupted.

"What's the commotion here?" A baritone voice echoed in the facilities.

I looked at the lady in front of me and I hint her became scary.

Who was this? Is he the owner of this company?

"I am asking, didn't I?" He asked again and I heard him walking. He is near 

"Good afternoon, sir. She's app---" the lady was stopped again.

"Come with me." He cut off and started walking again. I remained silent and didn't move. Was he referring to whom?!

"Bitch, you go to his office!" The lady said angrily to me and even pushes me a bit. Wait, what? Go to his office?!

"Me? Why?" I asked out of nowhere.

"Idiot! He's the boss here. Just go to his office on the fifth floor. Behave, okay? Don't do anything unnecessary if you treasure your life. He will interview you!" She said for the last time after going inside and closing the door forcefully.

What has happened?

***

I am almost shivering as I walked in front of the door the boss of this company, waiting for me to come in.

I prepared this for almost one week. And for today, there's no way for me to back out. This is my last chance to get a job! This is the only chance left for me to earn money so that I can make those people who killed my family, suffered.

I bit my lower lip and closed my eyes intently. I need to be strong right now. There's no room for me to be weak, especially when I am applying for this. I wasn't even informed that I'll be applying in front of the boss!

I slowly pulled the door and when I opened it, I felt shivers even more. I smell the unique man perfume that already captures my nose. My mouth left hanging as I continue to walk but stop when I realized I am almost near to him. To the boss!

I can only see his back figure because he is sitting on his chair, facing the back. I bowed. Damn. I am so nervous! I could feel my both hands were trembling with so much intensity!

Was he bad? Was he accepting clients someone like me?

"Good morning, s-sir." I greeted and almost stuttered. Shit. That was the only first sentence I've said and I am already stuttering. How can I even answer his questions for me? How can I elaborate on myself to be accepted here? How am I supposed to say I did not pass college and graduated only in highschool?

I heard his chair moving so I expected he turned around. I am looking down so I can't see what he's doing.

"Who are you?" A baritone voice echoed.

O my god! His voice was too much. It was intense and electrifying! Okay, Cashedy, should you back out now?

"I-- II---"

"Look at me when I am talking to you, lady." He cut me off and without any seconds, I looked up to see him which makes me vulnerable even more.

Was that even legal?! His face... He must be a greek god or something? It was perfect! From perfect eyebrows, bluish eyes, pointed nose, perfect jawline, and a masculine perfect face. Could someone be more perfect than this? It's illegal!

I noticed him coughed when we looked at each other. He raised his right eyebrow and pursed his lips.

"What makes you think that I will hire you?" He asked coldly.

I gritted my teeth because I was too nervous. I need to be confident right now and so determined.

"I can do a lot of things. I think, I can handle your papers, schedules, everything you're going to ask and make me prepare it for you, I-i think I can be your good secretary." I said so fast directly looking on his eyes.

He licked his lower lip and positioned his right knuckle at the bottom of his chin.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" He asked while his eyebrows frowning. I was caught off guard and instantly react to his question.

"I don't have a boyfriend, sir..." Was that even a requirement as a secretary?! I passed all the requirements I thought the company was asking but what was that question? It's really necessary?

He didn't respond but he didn't look away. I bowed again before turning back. I think...it's done. I didn't make it. He's not smiling at all and he looks so very serious!

"I wasn't done yet." I was about to open the door when he said something. I turned around again and I almost gasp when I saw him in front of me. What...was happened?! He was sitting and now, in front of me?! How fast?

I smell the perfume on his black polo and I must say it was really seductive. Shit. He looks so hot even more now he is standing in front of me!

Okay. He is tall. He has firmed shoulders and a perfect upper body. Not to mention he is wearing polo, what more if he's naked? O my god, Cashedy! Your sanity!

"Ahn, uh..." I tried to utter words but couldn't find anything to say.

He looked intently again to my eyes before smirking. "You're hired."
