Chapter 3
" Mom, I told you I will work on it " Liam closed his eyes, already tired of his Mom''s endless
talk.
" It''s been two weeks, Liam and this is what you keep saying " Diana''s voice trembled a little,
" Please son, just do what your father asked and you''ll be fine. I''m not happy with the rift this issue
has caused between you and your father "
" I''ve heard you Mom. Okay, I promise you that by this time next week , I would bring my
girlfriend over to your ce " He vowed, not liking how unhappy his mother was one bit.
" Okay son, I love you "
" I love you too " Liam replied and disconnected. He sighed. Now that he had made a promise
to his Mom, he must fulfil his promise because he was a man of his words.
He picked up the telephone and called Amanda Saunter, his personal assistant over to his
office. The door opened a few minutester and Amanda came in.
" Sir? "
" Have a sit "
Liam shared his attention between Amanda and the files before him which he had to go
through. He didn''t know how the changes was going to sound to Amanda and also didn''t know how
to break the news to her. She had been his P.A for just a month and he felt the work didn''t suit her,
that she was better off in the Marketing team. He took a deep breath and finally spilled the beans.
" You''re going to be transferred to the marketing team ". At first, she didn''t move or say
anything. She looked too shock to speak and the next thing, she jumped and screamed happily. It
was a dreame true for her. She thanked him profusely.
Then Liam asked her to post a vacancy online, hiring a graduate with the necessary
credentials as his new personal assistant. He was relieved that she was happy and not the other
way around. Amanda readily nodded in affirmation and left for her office with a big smile on her
face.
***********
Ca was scrolling through her phone when she came across a vacancy for the post of a
personal assistant in B&L Inc. She was happy that the post was still vacant.She jumped up in
excitement and quickly went ahead to fill the form again. She attached a passport and did all the
necessary things. Later in the evening that same day, she checked her Gmail and her joy knew no
bounds when she was asked toe for an interview at 8am prompt the next day. She quickly
called Jenny to tell her the news. Her friend was of course, happy for her and wished her good
luck.
Ca was having second thoughts about watching Netflix now. She had to wake up veryte
the next morning so she finally decided to go to bed early. She slept that night hugging close the
image of her working in a beautiful and spacious office. Ca woke up the next morning feeling
optimistic. It was 5:30am. She went into the adjoined bathroom, did all the necessary things and the
only thing left was her outfit. She chose to go with a button-down long sleeved top and a ck
penciled skirt. She matched her clothes with ck heels. Then she sat at her dressing table and as
shebed her hair, she suddenly thought of her mother and her heart went out to her. She would
be all alone, if not for their next door neighbor, Mrs Smith, who made it her duty to take care of her.
Ca sighed, she wished time would turn back the hands of the clock. Things had been going
well for her family, at least that was what her mother endlessly talked about, until the death of her
father. Things then changed drastically for them. Almost all her life savings had been spent on her
relocation to Mexico city. Now, she barely had enough to eat and get by.
She sighed again and muttered, " What a wonderful life I''m living " she said with sarcasm. She
added a little lipgloss on her lips, took onest look in the mirror, grabbed her bag and left the room.
She went to the station to wait for a bus. On getting to her destination, she opened her mouth
agape. She was too shocked to talk.
" Wow! " Was the only word she could utter when she stood in front of B&L Inc. It was as if
she hadn''t been there before. The truth was, she was too blinded by her worries to notice. The
massivepany stood proudly in the middle of the city. She proceeded inside and immediately felt
she was in another world entirely. It was even more beautiful than what she saw of it outside.
People scurried past her, carrying files. She looked on, lost as to which direction to go. She thenAll content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
looked around in search of the right person to ask. Ca finally found the perfect person a middle
aged womaning in her direction.
" Excuse me ma''am " she smiled
" Hello, how may I help you? "
" I''m here for an interview " Ca stated.
" You''ll have to go up to the executive floor. Take the elevator over there to the second floor
and stop at the receptionist''s desk to ask for more directions "
" Oh okay thank you.... Thank you " Ca repeated, sounding grateful.
" Yeah you''re wee. And good luck " The woman said over her shoulders, already walking
away.
Ca took the elevator to the second floor. When she got to the second floor and the elevator
door opened, she felt like she just stepped into heaven.When she got to the second floor and the
elevator door opened, she felt like she just stepped into heaven. The whole ce was breathtaking.
It was designed in a modern ssic way. She was enthralled with the whole ce. She walked up
to the receptionist at the desk. It was a differentdy this time.
" Good morning " she said with a smile.
" Morning " thedy, Marvel answered, smiling too.
" I''m here for an interview. Please, which way do I go from here?
" Oh" Marvel looked at her from head to toes before replying. " Turn left and knock on the first
door "
" And one more thing? " Marvel looked up at Ca, her gaze unwavering.
" Good luck " she finally said and continued with the files she was sorting out. Ca thanked
her and went towards the door she directed to her.
