Anita’s Voice: Behind the Headlines

Chapter 2: Sass Media House

Stopping, she moved towards Anita and held her hands tenderly. “You really don’t have to feel that way Anita. This is destiny. Okay?” she said.

She didn’t feel like she actually did something so great for her friend Anita. Yes, she was there to put her through, but what about the things that Anita had done for her.

Back at Houston.

Kate had just lost her parents and was in a state of grief. At that time, no one was there for her. She had no one. The rest of her family members didn’t care, so she was all alone.

Despite the fact that Anita didn’t have much control of anything, she did all she could to make Kate more comfortable. Anita had brought her into her own home where she stayed till she moved to New York City, even though her family was against it.

Kate’s joy knew no bounds the day she reconnected with Anita. She could not believe it at first. Years had passed by already.

“Thank you Kate! At least for this support.”

Changing the conversation, “This is the room, this is the kitchen. I remember it’s your favorite place haha! Here’s the sitting room, the bathroom is over there. What do you think of this place.”

“It’s cool, I love it.”

“You really have changed Anita. Look at your face, so pretty. I still can’t forget not getting tired of looking at your lashes back then. It’s still so long and beautifully black. Look, you’re now taller as well.” Kate didn’t wanted to stop talking about Anita’s body development.

No one loves Anita more than she does, and that was her thought. Her friend was already a full grown young woman with beautiful curves and slender body.

Soon, Anita settled in.

“What are you going to do now? Will you like to wait till Monday so you can go in search of a job or..?” she asked.

“Kate, in here for a reason, so there’s no time to sleep.” Anita replied.

“Hahaha okay, yea I know you. So what are four plans?”

“Sass Media House scheduled an appointment with me. So I should be there tomorrow.” Anita answered.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Sass Media House? I won’t say it’s not okay, but isn’t it pretty small? I mean, I could join you look for a better job.” Kate suggested. Sass Media House is a pretty popular company, but she thought of it as little because she knew just how brilliant Anita was.

“Darling, I want to be a reporter. Sass Media House just needs good reporters and they are good.”

“It’s fine dearie! I’m here for you. Anytime!” she was willing, as long as it’s something her friend wanted to do.

“I appreciate you kate! I will go check it out tomorrow morning.”

“Can I come with you?”

“Sure darling!”

Andre and Cass had just gotten to New Year City as they drove by the streets.

“Where did you get the house at?”

“Master! I got it at a simple building, not too far from Sass Media House.”

“okay cool. If after a while I didn’t see what I expect, we will leave immediately.”

“Yes Master!”

The next day, Anita made her way to Sass Media House, alongside her, was Kate.

When they got to the three story media building, they walked in.

“Hello! How may I help you?” a security approached them.

“Hi Sir! we are here for a job.” Anita said politely.

“Come this way then.” He said, leading them to the elevator that will take them straight to the director’s office.

“Thank you sir!”

“Kate, how will you go in with me? You aren’t here to look for a job, are you?”

“I’m your bodyguard. Just invade you’re being asked.” she answered joking.

She just wanted to accompany her girlfriend seeing as she was new to the city. Her work as a real estate agent was enough for her already. She had her boyfriend as well.

When they got to the office door, Kate sat down at a bench close to the door, while Anita went ahead to knock on the door.

“Come in!” A woman’s voice sounded from inside.

Anita then took a deep breath and walked into the office.

“Good morning ma’am!” she greeted respectfully.

The woman was writing a few things with her glasses on. Upon hearing the greeting, she raised her head.

“Good morning! Sit down.” she nodded as she answered.

“Thank you ma’am!”

Anita gazed at the middle aged woman at her front. This must be the director, she thought as she sat down obediently.

“You must be Anita!” The director said.

“Yes I am!” Anita confirmed.

“I’m sure because I scheduled an appointment with just two people. A young man and you.” she said smiling.

She sounded nice and spoke so naturally.

Anita felt free.

“Oh! Sounds good ma’am!”

“Yea. So please wait. I will attend to you both at the same time.” the director said, before she faced her work to complete what she was previously trying to jot down.

In no less than five minutes, they heard a knock on the door.

“come in!”

Immediately, Andre walked in.

“Good day everyone!” he said and sat down without permission.

Anita froze.

Did this man really wants to get this job? How could someone without wealth be so bold.

Madam Cross didn’t care. She was a kindhearted woman, so those kind of things didn’t move her. In fact, it made her took a liking to Andre.

“So let’s start.” she said as she cleared her desk.

Madam Cross started by asking them a couple of questions which they answered perfectly.

Satisfied, she then came to a conclusion.

“Anita, you will be our head reporter, while you will assist her with our equipments. Do you both agree to this? Let me know if you have any objections.”

“it’s cool ma’am.”

“No problems ma’am. Thanks a lot!”

“alright. I think that’s all for now. Please resume tomorrow.” she then said, discharging them.

Anita’s countenance then changed.
