Chapter 40: Chapter 40

*Feesh’s pov*

"I really love your spirit Feesh... It's nice to know there are still nice girls like you" Mr Joshua said to me.

"thank you sir" I smiled at him.

"oh you can call me Joshua... Well, that's all for now.. Go wait in the line when we're done we'll be notify you... If you got the job"

Oh God please i really want this job. "Oh okay sir-Joshua" I said and walked out.

I met the girls outside again, and this time they were looking at me like they wanted to strangle me.

I kept quiet and stood on my own. I was scrolling through my song list on my phone when a girl came to meet me. "hi" she said with a cute smile. I liked her immediately "hello" I replied "I guess you got the job online also"

I sighed "Yeah I did."

She glanced around. "I was just wondering why they told us we got the job when we'll still be interviewed today" she said with controlled anger.

I chuckled at her "Don’t worry... This is not the greatest corporation in the whole world"

She looked at me incredulously "Uh... It kinda is. They have about 350 hotels and offices just here in New York alone.. Who wouldn't kill to work for him?"

I opened my mouth to say something but was interrupted by the woman who had taken me to see Mr Joshua.

This time she had a phone on her hand. "Hello to you all.. Mr Grande has sent his gratitude for coming here and offering to work for him. But he'll be picking only two."

"Why didn't we get to see him? I wanted to see him!" a girl shouted. She glared at the woman, as she placed her hands on her hips... As if daring her for a fight.

"I'm sorry for that. Mr Grande had to go out to a very important meeting.. But he'll be back soon... To address the ones who really got the job." the woman said.

My heart started beating faster,i knew I wouldn't get the job, probably because of the stupid things I had told Mr Joshua. Like, how I got mad when my mom punished my dog for pooping beside my bed when I was 11.

Oh God please...

"Sharon locker!? You just got the position of the junior assistant at Grande corps" the woman said.

I looked around, searching for the lucky girl who had gotten the job.

"Oh my God... I can't believe this!"

I turned around and saw the girl who had been talking to me just a few minutes ago. She hugged me while laughing happily, I hugged her back while the other bitchy girls glared at us.. Her especially.

"Oh my God Sharon I'm so happy for you.. Sorry I didn't ask for your name earlier" I told her with sincerity.

She smiled again. Then gathered her credentials and placed them into her bag.

"It’s fine Feesh, I'll see you around. Thanks for talking to me" she said as she waved and went into another room the woman directed her to.

"The small fish is not even a bit qualified for the job they gave... I don't know what these people are getting at..." I heard a girl say. Probably the loud mouth girl. "if Alexander was around.. We sure would have been chosen." the girl beside her said.

"And now, if i don't call your name please see yourself out.. Or the security will see you out" the woman said.

I closed my eyes tight. At least I gave it a try. Don't worry Feesh, other jobs will....

"Feesh Mason!?"I heard her voice.. Did she just call my name?

Oh my God! She just called me! I got the job??

"That's me ma’am" I raised my hand up at her. Then I saw a smile on her face as if she was very proud of me.

"Congratulations... You are now the executive assistant for Mr Grande."

I felt tears at the back eyes threatening to come out. But i blinked them away and grinned at the woman as I went to hug her.

"Oh my God i got the job!" I said loudly. She just laughed at me and patted my back.

"Okay Feesh, follow me" the woman said "the rest of you see yourselves out."

I could hear those girls as they shouted angrily. "you fixed this! How can you choose those two maggots!!"

Because unlike you, we aren't here as sluts. I thought to my self.

I quickly sent a text message to my sister.

Me: hey daisy, guess what?? I got the job!.

* * *

"So how did it go at work today???" Daisy asked me for the fifth time.

I sighed and rolled my eyes. "I told you, the woman just introduced me to my job and how I'll be doing it.. Since this is my first professional job."

She looked at me, her eyes flashing with disappointment.

" so... You didn't even meet your boss?"

"My boss?" I asked confused, oh she was talking about Mr Joshua Johnson.

"I did.. He's very very nice and encouraging" I explained smiling as I remembered the things we talked about.

"He's nice?... Well most people who know him says his proud and Arrogant though"

I looked at her and realized who she meant. "Oh, you mean Alexander Grande?"

"Yes"

"No,i didn't get to meet him, he went for a very important meeting and went straight home after the meeting"

I remembered Mrs Thomas–the woman who had congratulated me earlier–telling me.

"Oh my God... He's someone to die for Feesh!" my best friend said.

I looked at her in annoyance. She must have saw my face cause she just put on a fake innocent smile.

"You should check him up online... You know, have a view of your boss so as not to throw you off balance once you set your eyes on him."

"Uh...why would I be thrown off balance" I said as I opened my phone and clicked on Google.

I typed :Alexander Grande C. E. O. Of Grande corps.

Few seconds later, his pictures showed on my screen. Him wearing business suit and in a meeting room, him wearing a normal shirt with blue tight jeans, holding a cup of coffee and smiling at the camera.

Him at the beach, wearing just shorts navy blue shorts.... His tanned skin glittering with the sun,his brown hair neatly cut...

"Uh... Not thrown off balance Ma'am?" I heard daisy whisper mockingly beside me.

I blinked. And then dropped my phone, embarrassed.

I was checking out my boss. Oh no, I've not even started working for him yet.

I've always had a thing for handsome guys.. And this one is... Fucking handsome. I knew there would nothing between us so it's okay to have checked him out. Oh God,but his tanned abs.

Don't you dare go there Feesh! I scolded my self.

"He's good looking... That's normal, but that doesn't make him special to me or something" I said to daisy.

"Ohhh.. Right, whatever you say Ma'am"

"Yeah so.... What's for dinner?"

Daisy glared at me. "you're making dinner!you've missed two days now."

I laughed out loudly."Okay Okay... What are we eating?"

"I'm going for noodles!"

I walked into the kitchen and opened my cupboard. "Noodles it is"

7:45am.

"Thank you again sir" i said to the same driver who had driven me to work the previous day.

"You welcome dear.. What's your name? And you can give me your number so I can pick you up every morning since you now work here"

I told him my name and quickly gave him my digits.

I waved as he drove off. I looked up and saw a very new and attractive black car... The boss is around.

I quickly walked into the building and made my entrance. It was just 8:02 and I was told to be here by 8:30.so I could settle down with Mrs Thomas in her office. "You'll be staying in my office for now dear, Mr Grande will give you a promotion and you'll have your personal office when he sees you're doing good at your job" she had explained to me.

I waved at the receptionist... Ella? Or Emma? I think her name was Emma.

I got into the elevator.. Thank God i am alone. I did a re-check on my dressing. Today, I picked one of my black pencil skirt with a light blue shirt and a black waist belt. Nothing fancy but still classy enough.

For my hair and make up, I just applied little foundation and eyeliner, mascara and a baby pink Lipstick. And for my hair... I didn't bring it down like I did yesterday, I just tied it into a ponytail and rolled it into a small but neat doughnut. I'm ready for this... I guess.

The elevator dinged open and I stepped out... Only to see the boss himself kissing and making out with a gi—wait.. It was the receptionist.. The senior receptionist who had too much makeup and too scattered hair.

The boss had her pinned to the wall, his back facing me, so he didn't see me but she saw me... And she smiled at me like.. You enjoying what you seeing?

I quickly rushed forward already feeling quite uneasy... Okay so that notorious part about was obvious... A playboy. He sure is,I muttered to myself.

"Oh Feesh dear, you're hear early" Mrs Thomas said as I entered the large office. I looked around.... Wow..

It was decorated in a very beautiful way... And her pictures were hanging in the right places.

"You like my decorations don't you?.. Don't worry you'll get to do yours when you get your office...soon enough" she said and smiled at me.

There was another table and chair at the right corner of the room, which I'm guessing is mine.. She even added a flower vase on the table,along with some files and a new laptop beside it.. I'm going to love this job.

I went over and sat on my seat and stretched my hands on the table.

"Welcome Feesh...now for starters, I'll just give you some files to print and also photo copy them in twos." Mrs Thomas said to me.

I was so excited... Something to do right now, I went over and collected the papers and started going through them... I was humming a song to my self when I heard a deep accented male voice. "laura... My Laura, good morning sweetheart."

I looked up and saw the boss,Alexander Grande coming in. Oh my God, I felt my heart beat race faster. He entered the room, and his smell engulfed me. Jesus Christ!

Mrs Thomas hurriedly got up from her seat and they hugged each other like a mother and son would.

I didn't realize I was staring at them until a paper escaped from my fingers, messing up the whole thing I was arranging.

"silly me!" I muttered under my breath.

I glanced back at them and saw that he was looking directly at me, he gave me a bored look, but when I gazed at him also he looked.... Surprised?.. Amused?

Why is he looking at me like that?

He pulled back from the hug. And faced me completely. Oh God.

"Is this the new executive assistant?" he asked in a surprising tone.

Mrs Thomas just smiled at me then at him."Yes,that's Feesh Mason" she said.

“Fish?”

“No Feesh.”

Then our eyes locked for some moment. He had Sky Blue eyes completely different from my honey-brown ones.

I didn't know what to do so I got up.

"Hi sir," I said in a voice that sounded strained.

Then he looked at my figure... Up down... Up down... He stared at my hips, which were perfectly round and wide.. Even though I wasn't really fat.

Then worse even,his face rested on my chest area... Yep I was pretty large there too... Sometimes I wish i was just a tiny simple thing... Like that receptionist.

We were still staring at each other when Mrs Thomas cleared her throat.

"Alex?.. Is there any problem?"

He looked away from me quickly. "Problems? No not at all" he said dismissively.

Yes! There's lots of problems!

****

Julian sighed as he stared at the beautiful young lady. Feesh Mason she said? Very well. His wolf growled with happiness deep inside him. He’d found a match for himself. He was going to chase her and have her by any means.
